Speaking of 50s movies, I've been meaning to watch In the Beach again. It doesn't appear to be on a streaming service, but I'm hoping it's on YouTube or somewhere. It's too bad it never got rediscovered when dystopia was at its height of popularity. Because it is very dark for that era.

I can't answer this because I'm in the Prince city.

Okay. I'm pulling the trigger on my attempt to watch all the Hitchcock things. I started last week with Rear Window. I don't know if that was the first voyeur thriller, but it was certainly the most influential. There's something very visceral about being trapped, helpless inside.

We Kill for Love, the documentary in Shudder about erotic thrillers is so fun. It's kind of fascinating how a genre that's so frivolous and cheesy is also unintentionally so political.

I love coffee but I hate how it makes me have to pee every 15 minutes.

Newsom got press coverage because Trump attacked him. If anyone thinks Democrats can just call the papers and say "I'm doing a speech, one wall to wall coverage of it, please" has not been paying attention.

So, inflation is up and we have 55% tariffs with China and the press and markets are treating this as great news. Can you imagine this happening if it was Biden or Harris in the White House? I can't.

It already has "novel insights" Such as putting glue in pizza cheese.

This lady is giving Endora #FrightClub

How did I forget there was a boner typing scene!? Amazing. #FrightClub

In the US, the construction workers harass women. In France the women harass construction workers, apparently. #FrightClub

I wonder why the English version is called Knife + Heart instead of A Knife in the Heart, which I believe is the exact translation of the French. I only know a little French, so I could be wrong though. #FrightClub

Second time watch of Knife + Heart. Great Pride month selection. #FrightClub

LaMonica McIver has put her body on the line to oppose the administration and is paying a heavy price for it. So far, I have not seen much support or appreciation for her. I hope this changes. Particularly if you're someone who wants Democrats to do more.

In other words, nothing about the protestor's behavior caused Trump to deploy troops. The pretext wasn't protestor behavior, the pretext was the existence of any protest at all.

Newsom is giving media outlets an opening to question Trump's age and cognitive ability with this. Sad that I'm 99.9% sure that these things are not actually vitally important to the political media and they will not run with it.

The past decade, Republicans only do well when Trump is on the ballot, and even then only did well 2 of times. This idea that Republicans are great at elections and Democrats suck at them is baked into our entire political discourse (not just among centrist pundits) and it's a complete fiction.

Democrats know that our immigration system is broken and that the American people want a fair and humane system that actually works. They do NOT want terrifying ICE raids, or anymore kidnappings and disappearances.

Totally agreed. Conservative men love to style themselves as "alpha males" but there's nothing less tough than being terrified to set foot in places where millions of people (including lots of allegedly soft liberals) live and work without fear. We should point out constantly how wussy they are.

One more piece of evidence that the mainstream political media is shitty because of ideology, not because it brings them attention and profits. They whitewash Trump while being extremely harsh to Democrats because they love Trumpism.

I didn't expect to learn anything about politics from a Real Housewives episode, but I did learn from the latest episode of RHOA that the Prime Minister of Grenada is hot.

If Trump dies in office, we're all agreed we have to encourage his fans to believe JD Vance murdered him, right? I'll totally make a sock account on Truth Social for this purpose.

If music is your therapy, who is your therapist?

The witch is victorious! I approve of this movie. #FrightClub

I just love that this movie takes place on the mean streets of...Jefferson, Wisconsin? #FrightClub

I don't think this movie knows how schizophrenia works. #FrightClub
