A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) I'm actually shocked to see this was overlooked by the Oscars. It's so captivatingly strange and specific that maybe voters couldn't decipher how it fit into the 2026 film landscape, which is a real s...

Damn, they really kneecapped another major media hub. TikTok is dead. Bluesky you’re all I’ve got

One of my favorite aspects of Timbuktu is Sissako’s portrait of small, secretive acts of rebellion under authoritarianism.

Timbuktu by Abderrahmane Sissako is an absolutely gorgeous movie streaming in Tubi right now.

Loved the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire so much that I’m reading the Anne Rice novels. So far I’m liking The Vampire Lestat more than the first book

Christina Ricci has always been better than Selma Blair, but this makes it even more clear and obvious.

Enjoyed It’s What’s Inside dir. by Greg Jardin quite a lot. Such a tight, clever script.

The amount of story and lore that has been squeezed out of the original Alien movie is truly impressive #alienearth

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?

So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Here’s the thing that I wish Americans would realize: ANYTHING is possible if we turn out in large enough numbers. Many other countries, at many times in history, have set this example for us. The people get furious and spill out onto the streets in the millions…and regime change happens. 🫰

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

I keep thinking about how Ellie knew about the Apollo I mission, but not about pride flags. It’s deeply sad to think that Queer people became so isolated from their community and that no one outside of the Queer community passed on that history to Ellie #thelastofus

Should go without saying but the point of diversity in hiring is to find _better_-qualified candidates outside of stagnant social networks that don't reward merit, like the kind of network that would put an MTV personality with a marketing degree in charge of the Department of Transportation

Watched S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR (2022) on the big screen for the first time at Portland’s Hollywood Theater. One of my favorite movies in recent memory and still hits so hard in 2025 (for some reason) #filmsky

At this point, I need to see a list of companies, besides Costco, that are keeping their DEI policies.

I have nowhere to shop.

As a free thinker alpha male one of my highest values is unquestioning obedience to authority. Boss knows best, that's why he's the boss

Bob didn’t even say anything about Rob that warranted that reaction. It was strategic of Bob to cast suspicion on everyone. Rob shot himself in the foot. Where’s the long game? #thetraitorsus
