Hitler said the Third Reich would last 1000 years. It lasted 12 and he died cowering in a bunker. Fascism always fails.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1447

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

being a writer feels slightly insane right now. "oh time to hallucinate a bit and write it down in a document in case we're still publishing books about chaotic bisexuals in 2026" 🤣 just told the group chat that this job requires the relentless belief that anything will matter in 12-18 months.

David Lynch accepting the Palm d'Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival for "Wild at Heart".

Most "professional writers" these days don't make their entire living off their writing, so if making a living off your writing is one of the goals, prepare to do a LOT of legwork yourself, because just writing isn't going to be enough. Promoting yourself & getting paid is a whole 2nd job at first.

Not dunking on OP, but wanted to put it out there that few writers I know, like Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, among others, have bought and restored old and abandoned theaters in their home towns so it does happen. Shout out to writers 👏

This is plainly stupid and illegal. However. There are like two million federal employees. I encourage all of them to respond with a 69-page email full of ipsum lorem gibberish and bury the words "go fuck yourself" in the middle.

Timothée Chalamet could play Bob Dylan in a biopic, but Bob Dylan couldn’t play Timothée Chalamet. There, I said it.

SAG Awards vibe is very “beautiful women over 60 screaming about existential crises facing humanity” and I am here for it

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

Shape-shifting, goth necromancer. Inadvertently tends to come off as the scariest motherfucker ever, but has the personality of a mad scientist carebear. Her goal in life is to mount a scientific expedition into the afterlife.

I didn’t even know SAG gave an award for Baddest Motherfucker, congrats to the Craig-Weisz household

based on the power suit cuz i think the shoulders fit better

*Pink Floyd voice* So So you think you can tell Kenan from Kel…

If we are not disabled, we are temporarily able-bodied. Disability protections protect all of us.

"People die around #TheMonkey in these insane ways. Oh—people died around *me* in these insane ways." Oz Perkins is the son of "Psycho" star Anthony Perkins and model & photographer Benny Berenson, who both lost their lives in terrible ways. We talked about finding dark humor in the unthinkable:

We raised funds last year to get us set until March. Annnnnd we were great...then Google googled again. If you even a $5 monthly sub to spare or just want to make an annual sub that will literally help BWT stay alive and working. We really need your support 💜

The 1973 Turkish film "Karate Girl" is best known for this moment of absolutely realistic Bullets-In-The-Bad-Guy Dispatchery...a scene which alone should have qualified it for an Oscar nomination. So much great art isn't appreciated in its time. youtu.be/BRGTVvOfzjs?...

Help my hot friend/absolute hero get these new wheels.

I added a dream item to my throne: a lightweight power wheelchair so that I'm not at the mercy of airport attendants when I'm traveling. This will only become more important as I get increasingly disabled! Please contribute 👩🏻‍🦽💨 throne.com/carta

We could make fun of this in so many ways, but telling people, "We are poor because transgender people are taking all the money," should be uncomfortably familiar to people familiar with 20th century history.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Peaceful protest works! #TeslaTakedown

Nothing rhymes with nothing.

one of my favorite behind-the-scenes photos: Catherine Deneuve looking a little bored and smoking in a giant gown on the set of Jacques Demy's Donkey Skin

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

the four words every girl wants to hear

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Anyway the plan has been all along to remove all ability for Federal employees to actually get work done and then point to their “not doing work” as a means to fire them.
