We used to make sulfuric acid in high school science experiments. How hard can it be?

I've been saying this since it came out. Nobody in film school listened.

It started with sports bans…

Youtube has banned Jeopardy! Host Ken Jennings' history podcast, Omnibus, because in 2019 (seven years ago), he did an episode debunking the racist and deeply antisemitic "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

That's right... debunking a rabid hate-fueled conspiracy theory is grounds for being banned.

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

Carvey's character is named Cllinton C. Wonderlove, so they just all call him JAFO, which is an acronym from the R-rated movie that cannot be explained on network TV.

LOVED this as a kid. As an adult, I wonder how an anti-war, anti-police-militarization movie got turned into a pro-action show with Dana Carvey and two football stars.

Those of you doing the Holy Trinity meme haven't been doing it right so far. The trinity is supposed to be three persons who are actually all one being. And that leaves only one correct answer: Man-E-Faces.

Fackham Hall, now on HBO Max, is best described as a mildly amusing Downton Abbey parody. Aspires to Airplane/Naked Gun style humor and not just Friedberg/Seltzer scene imitations, but it tries harder than it succeeds. A few decent laughs.

Who Is the Avatar in 'Avatar'? If you thought it was about Jake, I think you're wrong.

A lot of the sci-fi/fandom sites won't let you write about religion, or politics. So you might only see this examination of the religious influences of Avatar (Cameron version) right here at my Substack. lytrules.substack.com/p/who-is-the...

People trying to Facebook message me just to argue with shit that I wrote are funny. I don't do private arguments, except with my family.

Watching Hoppers got me thinking about Avatar again, and what the trilogy (so far) is actually about. open.substack.com/pub/lytrules...

Think of it as a sport the way synchronized swimming and couples ice skating are sports. Athletic cooperation for a show they hope will go without errors.

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

I mean, I would argue that a much bigger societal issue is people being unable to distinguish between "thing that irks me personally" and "thing that is an actual problem for everyone" but sure

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
