This is all fascinating. I had no idea Ryan Coogler negotiated a contract where he kept final cut, first-line profits, and the rights to SINNERS after 25 years. But the idea of studio execs FREAKING OUT about it ("What if EVERY in-demand creative wants rights over their own work?") is even better.

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

This is high art

In our house, boxes get left out for a week or so (in which time they will be fought over re: who gets to sit in them) before being switched out for a NEW box. … because they will get tired of the old box, and stop using it. Cats!

We can quibble about the placement of each item but the original sin here is the very existence of this graph. Why on earth would a news organization rank social issues like they're weapons in an RPG?

Most people i think would benefit from having a "little guy" in your home somewhere. it could be a little stuffed animal or a bobblehead or a cute keychain - everyone needs a little guy to point to when the day is rough so they can go "well at least this little guy is still here with me"

Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).

this is what mary shelly envisioned while she was watching lord byron top her husband

Fabulous Holiday Batman guards the holiday truffles, as seriously (and fabulously) as only Batman can. (He was a gift from a friend who has clearly known me too long.)

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Love Interstellar. Personally will never understand the critique that Nolan’s films are clinical/unemotional. For better or worse, he is a heavy sentimentalist. However I *do* think he seems to be compulsively driven (for whatever reason) to hide that sentimentality behind distancing elements.

In Meaningless Yet Fun News for me: I have actually completed BG3 Honor Mode!! Yay for silly useless skills!

If Andor Season 2 is just Krennic squabbling with other Imperial bureaucrats and trying to hide funding riders in Senate security bills I will watch a thousand episodes of that

Hey so FYI, all the “we must, with heavy hearts, jettison trans people into the ocean to win votes” columnists are actually just transphobic themselves

From now on, Will Forte and I are just gonna be a Chappell Roan cover band.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

Veilguard, textually (rather than merely self-imposed pacing) - so! we’re gonna take a break from the main story so you can resolve companion issues. have fun.

This this THIS

Am an OH voter who already did mail-in, and CAN CONFIRM!! I knew what the issue was, and I still had a moment where I did a double-take when I read the exact language. It is truly terrible, and wildly misleading!

Has anyone said Welles?? Because he was basically an in-life shitposter. Possible he would avoid social media? But I don’t think he could resist…

This! THIS!! Writing is the hard part but also the rewarding and fun part. It’s hard because you are doing the work of thinking and processing and integrating. It’s rewarding because doing those things teaches you stuff. You come out on the other side changed from the work you did.

"You can't handle people with different opinions" I can handle different opinions on things like the best pizza toppings or which video game I should check out next- but no, I absolutely do not want to spend my one precious life arguing with some bigoted weird guy online

Inside you are two wolves. They are moving in perfect sync. They are Drift Compatible. You are a Pacific Rim Jaeger in a universe where wolves are the dominant species.

JK Rowling hasn’t tweeted in 12 days. Give Imane Khelif another gold medal.

Reskeeting this with alt text because I can't have our visually impaired friends here miss on this banger.

Some people got very pissy with me for saying that their Harry Potter addictions were directly funding transphobia but my point still stands: if you're still spending money on this crap, it is going towards hate & you need to deal with that. www.pajiba.com/politics/you...

probably the most embarrassing thing on earth is having to answer questions from an electrician. “Where’s your emergency disconnect?” sir all i know is somehow we have put lightning inside the wires

the message this fall is absolutely going to be "we are normal people and our opponents are fucking freaks."

this is great. i'll also share this from James Baldwin (1963)

I saw this posted on twitter but I don't think that user is on BlueSky and I wanted to share it here... This interview with Ethan Hawke perfectly describes the importance of art.

Again this is about power. How power is used. The right uses power to punish. Midwest Dems use even the narrowest majority to enact wins. None of the Aaron Sorkin West Wing unity, good Republicans, punch left bullshit. Wield power to get results. It improves lives and makes people like you.

Daniel Craig playing an entire geology department himself:

but they were all of them deceived, for another type of guy was made
