A curated platter of pop culture chatter. Movies! Comics! Books! Old, uncool music! Progressive theology! Photos from hikes I’ve taken! The world’s on fire. I’ll have things to say about that. Bluesky Elder & world’s biggest Martian Manhunter fan.

It is possible to build machine learning systems which punch up instead of punching down.

My favorite film of all time. Watch it.

Just popped in and I gather everything is cool and normal

Not bad for some old guys.

There are whole books to be written about the utterly incongruous use of 50s and 60s pop music in 80s films.

Next to Andor this is the best STAR WARS show.

Horrific.

This is fucking gibberish.

🎬 Alfred Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief" is being released in a 4K Blu-ray SteelBook for its 70th-anniversary! 🕵️‍♂️ Paramount's classic comes with Dolby Vision, Dolby TrueHD, and juicy extras! Release date: July 29 📆 #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

Richest nation in the history of the world decides it cannot afford to have a national government.

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

This will continue to get worse and worse unless and until the people in power decide to stop it. It’s not at all clear that they can or want to. In the meantime we will all watch a slow-motion fascist car crash via social media, helpless to do anything about it.

Oh baby

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Now you can talk to fake people when you order fake pizza. All we need are fake customers and the circle is complete.

There’s really weird music, and then there’s the music I’m listening to at this concert hall tonight. Hooboy.

Anyone else getting “error code: 224003” when they try to watch?

This seems very cool.

I cannot imagine the pressure he is under. And also, he’s had a very, very, very, very, very, very long time to write this book.

I think about this every day

Life is good today.

Trump IS an autopen.

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

My favorite candies are orange marshmallows shaped like peanuts that taste kind of like bananas. I buy them only on road trips and consume them with the sort of slow savoring nibbles one reserves for exotic delicacies. My family thinks I’m insane. They’re probably right.

Absolute Martian Manhunter 3 preview. @javierrodriguez.bsky.social Things really start getting good here!

“The whole backwards-looking Biden frenzy mostly seems like an excuse for the press to look away from the present day.” Scocca in peak form. defector.com/what-do-you-...

Please no.

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

Remember the ads for the original LILO & STITCH, which inserted Stitch into several Disney Renaissance classics? Here's how they came to be. www.vulture.com/article/why-...

Mitch Hedberg was a damn comedy genius. Fuck heroin.

“One time a guy handed me a picture. He said ‘here’s a picture of me when I was younger.’ *Every* picture is of you when you were younger.”

Knight and Day is a severely underrated popcorn flick, fyi.
