Is there a trademark or something that prevents people from saying “right you are, Ken” during the Jeopardy interview segment? Because I don’t know how that doesn’t happen every day otherwise.

If a store has nutrition in the name, and there are no healthy foods anywhere in it, it’s an Herbalife scam.

Instagram has had a 1 icon on my messages tab for months now and it won’t clear and I don’t know why. The main reason I stopped going there is because he’s a nazi but maybe fix your basic website functionality?

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

There should be a happy mode for your phone where you only get notifications about good stuff. Sorry pal if you want me to see your email you better put good news in it

The vast majority of the films I like get called “slow cinema.” And I like Better Call Saul more than Breaking Bad. But you know what? Cutting three times a second and having forty storylines should be called fast cinema. Slow cinema should just be called cinema. #filmsky

The Day of the Jackal is an incredible movie I had never heard of. It tracks a hitman’s every maneuver as he keeps getting nearly found out, and it follows the officials who are trying to track him down. Ebert gave it 4. It’s on Kurosawa’s top 100, which maybe I should read. 4/4 #filmsky

as president of the HOA i’m cancelling garbage service. it’s a waste of money. yeah it’ll be pretty stinky around here, property values will plummet. but this is how we get our neighborhood back on top

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Mad Max Fury Road is incredible. It has the most spectacular action sequences, but it's not like a Michael Bay thing. It's got just enough characterization to tell you who everyone is and why it all matters. But aside from Charlize, the women mostly sit there. 4/4 #filmsky

I have a shortlist of my favorite movies, and I'm adding Flow to it. It's just perfect. Favorite part is the cat doing the exact actions of a real cat. You don't need dialogue or money or a Hollywood studio to make a good movie. 4/4 #filmsky

Watched the original Superman movie because it has Gene Hackman. It’s a fun action movie with some good comedy and the Indiana Jones theme. It’s also really sexist. 3.5/4 #filmsky

Key Largo has Bogie and Bacall trapped in a hotel with gangsters as a hurricane shows up. Lots of fun, but I the finish was too neat and tidy 3.5/4 #filmsky

So is this one. youtu.be/1q5CHulFv9o?...

youtu.be/QEJpZjg8GuA?... This is a really important discussion. I prefer to think for myself.

Duel is a really good movie from 1971 that I've seen twice now. I think that director might have a future in this business. Also it was playing at the Heights Theater, which is the best in the Cities. I'd literally rather stare at my wall than go to an AMC.

At 4pm today, TPT, our local PBS station was showing Finding Your Roots. Meanwhile, KARE 11 news was saying that credit cards are debt and debit cards only spend money you have. Funny how one is literally the news and the other is actually informative. ABC, CBS, and NBC are all worthless.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

Conclave is film noir in church. If you like drama with twists followed by twists followed by twists, you’ll enjoy this. 4/4 #filmsky

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

I’ve seen the Hulot trilogy now. Playtime is fun. It has a gorgeous set and good humor, but in the last half it really needed a storyline. 3/4. Mon Oncle is my favorite of the three. #filmsky

Government funding expires March 14 and there's a chance they'll need Democratic votes to prevent a shutdown so that could be a good time to demand that Musk and his teens are out of government and an impartial investigation into what they've done thus far

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

jacob frey has yet to reach out to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social after the homophobic attacks he faced from jerry mcafee, a city contractor meanwhile, all 3 mayoral challengers - @omarfatehmn.com @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social and @dewayneforminneapolis.com - have all checked in on jason

Mon Oncle feels like a silent movie, but in color and Tati uses sound just as cleverly as the visuals. They switch between a gorgeous modern house that Ebert called a “monstrosity”, a more old-timey downtown area, and a factory that makes nothing but plastic hoses. 4/4 #filmsky

The Boys from Brazil was written by Ira Levin, who also wrote Rosemary’s Baby and Stepford Wives, and it’s every bit as good. The movie is bizarre and it all makes sense once you get to the twist. Plus they think nazis are bad, which apparently isn’t what Tim Walz thinks anymore. 4/4 #filmsky
