The goal of the far right is to drive anyone who isn't like them out of social media. I understand boycotting Twitter or FB if you feel it's the right thing to do. But I am not going to have what little voice I have in the public sphere removed on the say-so of a bunch of Nazis.

The sheer level of swag George Miller emanates in every picture

Factor in the idea that there's a person inside the car. You're watching a PERSON getting cubed at a junkyard. Objectively one of the most disturbing scenes I ever saw before the age of 8. People are baffled by the luxury of a film dwelling on a moment of horror or intrigue?

I'm just fucking sick of it all. Does anyone see this? Does it matter if they do? Does it fuck.

the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.

every time I rewatch an episode of Mad Men I get more confused as to why Vincent Kartheiser didn’t become one of the biggest starts in the world

Paul McCartney wrote "She's Leaving Home" after reading a Daily Mail article about 17-year-old Melanie Coe, a runaway schoolgirl with the headline: "A-Level Girl Dumps Car and Vanishes." McCartney was deeply struck by the parents' tragic refrain of not understanding why she left, despite having everything. In February 1967, Melanie Coe, a girl from a well-to-do family in North London, snuck out of her home. She left behind a note and all her belongings to meet up with her older boyfriend. Because she inadvertently revealed where her boyfriend worked, she was found by authorities ten days later, at which point it was discovered she was pregnant. The Eerie Coincidence. The most fascinating element of the story is that McCartney had actually met Coe years prior. In 1963, McCartney was a judge on the ITV television show Ready Steady Go!, where he chose Coe as the winner of a dancing/lip-syncing contest. Neither realized the connection when he read the article and wrote the song years later Melanie Coe, lived with her parents in a block of flats called Stamford Lodge, located on Amhurst Park Road in Stamford Hill, North London.

RT @dkeane16: really sad about anthony head!! always really loved this story where he invited a fan of his to his farm for the day when he…

What I think stands out to me about this story is he was the one who reached out, not the other way around. He heard through the grapevine that a trans fan was feeling this way, and was willing to move a mountain to do something about it.

The 'Marty is mid' discourse reminds me that there's nothing I hate more on here than art being treated like sport. 'Bergman? Scorsese has long surpassed Bergman!' Mate, you can feel that way but it doesn't make it any less stupid of a thing to say than what you're replying to.

Scorsese’s AI bullshit has caused people to do that thing where an artist does something bad and then everyone retroactively decides all their previous work isn’t good and we have to leave that dumbfuckery behind. Just stop. Not every thought needs to be shared

I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie

Sorry, not going to listen to Americans complain about pronunciation when they pronounce "niche" as "nitch"

Just saw this on Substack. The metaphor is spot on.

Why does Sting look like the head of a planetary council in a science fiction film
