WWE definitely out of the PG era
I've been saying this since it came out. Nobody in film school listened.
It started with sports bansβ¦
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.
A job offering by Giant Freaking Robot to hire a freelance writer who hates Starfleet Academy to write hate articles about the show
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.

They're already well known for fake news.
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.
I'll take the opportunity to plug my trans cousin EJ Graham, a British fantasy author - @thefaeage.bsky.social
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.
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...
Trying to imagine who showed "Anomalisa" to their kids that year to pick it.
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.
Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.
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

If you'd accept Kelly Preston in 80s LA, Spellbinder is coming to 4k shortly.
the fucking director of Inside Out has no business saying "we aren't making therapy movies"
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!
I'm too lazy to make it but somebody should do a Hoppers poster photoshop with Dennis Hopper faces on everyone.
I wish I could say it ain't rough out here with no outlet in one's 50s. But it is. Best of luck to all of us.
Reminiscent of Putin blaming Ukraine for bombing Ukrainian civilians.
Has anyone told them she converted to Islam?
