PLEASE LET THIS BEGIN MY HEALING JOURNEY

I honestly cannot believe that they released Rust but still can’t be bothered to release Batgirl. Times are crazy

Being able to see the at-whim thoughts any of the artists/celebrities you thought you liked has - by and large - turned into one of the bigger mistakes of the 21st Century

I know I’m going to enjoy the Thunderbolts* because the early reviews are swinging wildly from one end of the critical spectrum to the other - which means Marvel is back, baby

In a real “I don’t feel at home in this world anymore” mood and I don’t think asking for positive vibes is gonna cut it.

As awful as this sounds, I can almost guarantee there will be plenty of people in non-LA audiences that will feel emboldened enough to do this. The sad fact is that in most other corners of the country, people, even at the movies, want to ruin movies as long as it annoys other people

Uh oh…I think I need it?

Because if I wanted someone to confidently make up answers to my questions I would simply ask a man

Every single day on Al Gore’s Internet, I’m told the name of some new right-wing chud who says he’s out to “take culture back” for conservatives and each one is as media and emotionally illiterate as the last one. Today’s is Keeperman… more like Keep Him, Man. We don’t want him!

I got to thinking I didn’t really NEED to exercise every day and just did a 10 minute core class for the first time in 2 weeks and…I have been appropriately humbled

I’ve seen more real journalism from Wired in the last 3 months than from any outlet that has more direct access to the White House. It’s time for the press that is really for the people to stop showing up at briefings/covering the White House. It’s all misinformation at this point anyway.

Always a guaranteed serotonin boost

Feeling cranky about a lot of stuff lately. Sorry, I know I should be finding joy where I can, but I’m still learning how to do that

I generally try to not repost Twitter stuff on here but do think it’s always worth knowing how bad it can get and Lindsey Graham is so embarrassingly bad just at like being a human. Imagine being an author, reading this and knowing you’ll never come up with a character this mortifying.

We watched Freaky Tales tonight and honestly, it was the exact kind of catharsis I needed - highly recommend if you like neon, Wu-Tang, surrealist past and funky little original gems.

There was one moment in this arc of Andor that had me really go “oh, YIKES!”

Our NEH grant was just administratively terminated. This is discriminatory and an overreach of executive powers. BUT we promise to not betray marginalized people for funding. We will resist. We will fight back. We will save these histories. Join us.

Saw this over on IG and thought I’d share in case it helps!

GodDAMN! That last episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi hits like a train. What a series…it’s one - like Solo - that feels like it will just continue to grow into itself and cement its place in the galaxy. What a gift Ewan and Hayden (and the whole production) are

I would *hope* that the re-discovery / resurgence / natural run on the cultural nostalgia cycle that the SW Prequels have experienced would teach people that time is a great ally to films, both in terms of where they stand contextually & where you’re prepared to receive them

Came home and immediately had to start a rewatch on Deborah Chow’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series. I really believe we were graced with that show. The amount of love and care put into those eps, the connective tissue tightrope that it walks…just truly great - maybe in a few years people will catch up with it

Saw the 20th Anniversary of Revenge of the Sith in theaters today and man, what George Lucas really nailed is that fascists is that they only feel joy when making people suffer. The utter glee of Palpatine as he’s hurling senate pods at Yoda is truly diabolical

Somehow this is a decade old music.apple.com/us/album/lif...

Not enough people talking about how a whole generation of kids are being introduced to Patrick Stump via Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Makes me feel more optimistic than I should music.apple.com/us/album/dis...

Just a random snippet from the group chat - without context. Don’t worry, I didn’t send this on Signal

Exhibit B:

That take from the Netflix CEO smacks of “we’re really over-leveraged by shitty decisions (aka making the Russos our go-to), we have no discernible plans for any of our shows but like to cancel the really good ones & we’ll be increasing fees soon, so yeah I have to say we’re better than a theater”

This is still absolutely insane to see to me. Like not in context, but just as in “I could have never predicted that the U.S. would willingly make itself a goods pariah”

"I Am Frankelda”, the first Mexican stop-motion feature film, will have its world premiere at @annecyfestival, in the Annecy Presents section! Years of relentless work, wild imagination, and deep love for storytelling have led us here. This film is a dream come true. 💫

Wait, did @nytpitchbot.bsky.social get something through, for real?

I keep thinking the craziest thing that Tony Gileoy could pull in #Andor is to reveal that Perrin is also part of the Resistance but he and Mon haven’t talked about things that deeply in so long that neither know what the other is doing- like what of Perrin is playing a role just like Luthen?

For anyone caught up on Andor’s Season 2 premier arc, I just have to state that every time I saw the forest rebels gang, I could not help feeling like they were being run by Chainsaw and Dave.

Had a minor meltdown yesterday and realize that maybe the expiration date for being online is 15 years. Like maybe my brains and tastes have been irrevocably changed and I need to do a reset. Technically I’ve been “online” 20 years but the first five don’t count

The “Jon Moxley stole my catalytic converter” sign at tonight’s AEW #Dynamite is a top tier sign

Man, something immediately shifted in my brain and I just want to go to bed and start over tomorrow …maybe. Or maybe I just sleep through tomorrow too. Keep thinking “joy is a radical tactic” as I pound my head against the wall

I like that #Andor recognizes that there truly is common ground among all people - across all galaxies - in knowing that, when it’s time to break up with your first love, the only remedy is booze and EDM

It’s my favorite song of all time - nearly everyone has made a cover of it… I picked 20 (plus an instrumental version from Brian Wilson) - if you need that many takes on God Only Knows, here’s your playlist music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

LOLZ - imagine still trying to make a stand that any of this is about morality at all. Good luck to all the trad natalists who are gonna use their PopeBet winnings for like 4 packs of diapers

I wish I had any interest in picking up The Last Of Us again, but honestly, seems like maybe something I’m not emotionally prepared to handle right now. Like I’m supposed to throw myself into BOTH that AND Andor - in this economy? … in THIS 2025? I don’t think so

This decision is being made by a woman whose company just charged the below prices for an event, who made a deal with Netflix for $5B and who made a deal with the Saudis for $500M - they want your business degree to bankrupt you so you can never make those deals
