Cat owner kidnapped by ICE. Cats need a place to land. Can anyone step up? Cats are in the Baltimore area.

A friend of mine is a huge My Bloody Valentine. They've done like three albums in forty years. He's been waiting over ten years for a new one. News like this kills him.

I am sick to fucking death hearing about “deals”

Masked federal agents have just forcibly detained NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander as he was trying to assist someone at immigration court.

lol wtf is going on with Jake’s hair?

Times like this make you wish Musk was still in the White House to tell Trump not to blow up the world because SpaceX hasn’t started the Mars migration yet

Finally getting around to watching The Alto Knights . . . and what is the point of having De Niro play two parts. I’m already confused and it’s only four minutes in

“ROOSE A.I. has essentially replaced Google for me for basic questions: What setting do I put this toaster oven on to make a turkey melt? How do I stop weeds from growing on my patio?” Our man Roose sounds rather thick

A big point to reading books and researching things you’re interested in is that you’re developing critical and rigorous thinking skills (that’s why conservatives hate higher education so much). But if you’re letting AI do your heavy lifting, all you’re doing is turning your brain into mush

Watched Cooley High (1975) last night. Great movie. Right there with Mean Streets and American Graffiti. Struck by what a charismatic young actor Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs was.

Trump doesn’t know the difference between the UK and the EU but it’s Joe Biden’s mental decline that was a bigger scandal than Watergate

Seeing Materialists reminded me of when I had a work physical and the nurse got audibly angry with me because I’d listed my height as 6 feet tall but it only came to 5’11” when she measured me.

A lot of MAGAs don’t want to be identified as MAGAs and nothing is going to out them faster than walking around with a tacky looking gold phone that looks like my old iPod Touch

Check out the horse tripping on the sidewalk at the 17 second mark. Horses are not built to clamber around on sidewalks while their riders harass a handful of peaceful protestors

“NotebookLM’s most viral capability is an auto-generated podcast, which in a matter of a couple of minutes will spit out a detailed conversation between two freakishly realistic voices, drawing out the key concepts of the source material.” No, no. A million times, no.

I watched Altman’s MASH last night. The counterculture could be very reactionary. It’s like Altman wanted to put in all the sexist and homophobic bits they couldn’t put in older war movies because of production codes. One of those brilliantly made movies that leaves a bad taste in your mouth

Materialists feels like a movie that would get mainstream discourse if it had come out in another time, the way Thelma and Louise or The Sixth Sense did where you’d here people talking about them in restaurants. But now there’s a million things to worry about and movies don’t hit like they used to

So ask yourself, did you see anything about this in the initial coverage of Brian Wilson’s death? And if not, why not? Its not coincidence. uk.news.yahoo.com/brian-wilson...

Compare this with how seriously the film industry reacted to the accidental shooting on the set of Rust.

@dsmaycollins.bsky.social did you go see anything this weekend. I liked Materialists quite a bit. I might end up passing on Life of Chuck

No legacy act wants to admit their fans are getting older

It’s impossible to imagine a parade this shoddy happening under *any* former administration.

My dad used to love to go to the movies and I’d take him to see anything he might like. It’s hard to get out of the habit of wondering what new movies he’d want to see. He spent his childhood in Ireland and his later years in the South so oh boy he would’ve loved Sinners

I get counter programming but don’t understand the strategy of releasing Materialists and The Life of Chuck in the middle of June and not later this fall

Yesterday at the movie theater the concession stand was so overloaded the popcorn machines couldn’t keep up so they had to stop selling popcorn for awhile. Never seen that before. The three of us seeing Materialists weren’t the problem. It was all those Dragon and Stitch families
