America outsources Guantanamo to El Salvador.

I like "The Rock" because it not only showcases the consequences of American imperialism but that policy makers only have one solution to those consequences: bomb them!

I haven’t seen the S2 finale but I question the choice of having “Severance” run for more than two seasons. I say this as someone who is invested in the story, its characters and loves the show.

Need a sequel to Johnny Mnemonic where he’s middle management at a big corporate firm and has to hunt down a young hacker inspired by the exploits in Johnny’s past.

It says something about the lack of imagination in Hollywood that the plot of Back to the Future Part 2 rested on the premise that a Time Machine would be used for gambling.

I need an app that pauses a show whenever someone looks at their phone longer than ten seconds.

Despite a huge info dump in the first 15 minutes of “The Electric State,” I have no idea what this movie is about or why i should care about any of it.

The Russo brothers making a strong case for bringing back director jail.

Morpheus: unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. Also Morpheus (minutes later): ok, let me tell you what The Matrix is.

At work one of my colleagues was adamant that witches were made up but magic was real. Now that is a hot take.

"Movies you've watched more than six times. Gifs only."

Tech billos are only after one thing: to remake the world in their image. They'll hack, slash, and burn down what they want to get there. Or anyone. That means you.

Making sure nothing happens to her over this stormy weekend!

Consider remaking"The Philadelphia Experiment" but this time the protagonist gets sent to 2025 where the Nazis have infiltrated the White House... through an election!

It's besides the point, I know, but it would have been a hell of a lot funnier if Marty McFly tried to play Johnny B Goode in "Back to the Future" and absolutely butchered it.

"Love is Blind" but midway through one of them realizes "her person" may be the serial killer who murdered her parents years earlier. The rest of the show cuts between the couples getting ready for the alter and a hard boiled detective procedureal.

They really cram you in at The Keg. For the veal experience.

Criterion Channel’s Argentine Noir program is, without exaggeration, of the finest they’ve curated to date. Not since their 80s Horror selection from a couple years ago, have you seen so many under appreciated gems in one place.

As a comic book villain, Trump is implausible and laughable but as a projection of the American ID… well, that you can hang your hat on!

Elon has “Im the eldest boy” energy

Dear America, the call is coming from inside the [white] house. That unelected bureaucrat running the “deep state“ MAGA has been bitching about is Elon Musk. Trump got paid handsomely in return for giving him the keys to your republic.

Trump isn’t scrubbing government of DEI programs, he’s reinstalling white supremacy. (Not that it ever went away, let’s be honest)

Imagine the look on JD Vance’s smug little face when Trump croaks and Musk is sworn in to office.

Stop calling it DOGE. Start calling it Dog-E.

Elevator pitch: “Atlas Shrugged” meets the rapture. One morning, all the CEOs and billionaires vanish and then something truly incredible happens… life goes on. No, it gets better! Assets and off shore accounts are seized and taxed accordingly. Wealth inequality begins to reverse course.

Was “House” short for “Housepital”?

80s action stars that are fun: -Stallone -van Damme -Schwarzenegger -Willis -Chan 80s action stars that are not fun: -Seagal -Norris

Who had concentration camps on their 2025 bingo card?

Pride is a riot again in 2025

Do you have fascists in the future? Yes but they pretend they're not. Becsuse they're cowards? Yes.

Imagine if the real Tony Stark ends up being Chinese.

Rent is due. Again.

Superman > Captain America 4 Not because I think it'll be a better film or even "good" but it does promise to be more fun.

You know there was a time when you'd casually throw the word Nazi around as a bit of hyperbole.

According to this Call of Duty lobby, I am gay.

In retrospect Captain America: Civil War should have been about Tony Stark going full blown fascist, with Captain America recruiting an antifa version of the Avengers.

Getting pretty tired of people saying condemning Nazis and fascism is not political. It absolutely is. It's also necessary.

You know who wants to dismantle and abolish diversity and equity in education and employment? Racists and white supremacists.

It may feel like we're currently living in the worst timeline. But it could be worse. Consider, for example, the possibility is the best timeline.

It's upsetting, to say the least, to see so many hate trans people more than actual fascism.

Today, we observe and reflect on what we’re doing to better the dream that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had for this world, ensuring a more equitable future for all.
