Just finished watching #BringHerBack and that has to be the best horror movie I’ve seen this year though I haven’t watched Weapons yet so I reserve the right to change that opinion.

The game #AndRoger is now an all timer for me. Up there with What remains of Edith finch and Before Your Eyes. Do yourself a favor, look up nothing and go buy it on steam for the <$5 it costs.

Really thought there would be a drop in quality to #RickandMorty when Justin Roiland left but to the credit of the amazing writers and crew it just keeps getting better. The finale of the current season has me crying for a solid 30 minutes after finishing it.

#Eddington is an absolute masterpiece

Why is no one talking about how insanely good #WinOrLose is? Maybe the best Pixar content of the last 5+ years.

After 292 hours of play #Satisfactory is one of my favorite games of all time. Masterful design and something I’ll continue to debate restarting just for the pure fun of the gameplay. Thanks @coffeestain.com

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

So also no thin blue line flags?

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Mar 29

A new law in Utah allows only approved flags — including the U.S. flag, the state's flag and military flags — to be displayed in schools and government buildings. The Pride flag and those supporting political causes will be barred. nyti.ms/43wfFP6

When they burn the books…

Hegseth's office ordered the U.S. Naval Academy to review all 590,000 books in its library for content at odds with an executive order banning “radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools, even though it is a college. MLK, Einstein books already identified for removal www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...

Elon Musk quietly deleted a post that said he would hand out two $1 million checks to people who had already voted in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Federal law prohibits payments to Americans in exchange for their registering to vote or casting ballots.

Elon Musk Backtracks on Plan to Give $2 Million Checks to Wisconsin Voters

Experts had said that his pledge to hand out two $1 million checks to people who had already voted in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race seemed to run afoul of state law.

This is a flagrant (and impeachable) violation of the First Amendment. And have no doubt: this is a test case. It'll get a lot worse from here if Congress doesn't act.

@RepJerryNadler
I am monitoring the situation regarding the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil and look forward to receiving additional information regarding the specifics of this case.
But let's be clear: The warrantless arrest of any legal permanent resident seemingly solely over their speech is a chilling, McCarthyesque action in response to the exercise of first amendment rights to free speech.
Such action is a frightening violation of immigration law that will not make Jewish students safer on campus and will only feed the Trump Administration's political war on education and hollow lip service on discrimination against minorities.
If the Trump White House were serious about rooting out antisemitism in America, they should start with their own Administration.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continued his efforts to revive the Confederate names of military bases, announcing on Monday that he is re-renaming Fort Moore, whose previous name honored the confederate general Henry Benning.

The base, which is in Georgia, will again be called Fort Benning.

Hegseth Says Fort Moore Will Be Renamed to Fort Benning

The base’s name was changed to Fort Moore in 2023 as part of a bipartisan effort to eliminate military honors bestowed on Confederate officers.

The opposite of what America is supposed to stand for. This is petty and shortsighted.

Justin @fallenshutter.bsky.social · Jan 17

Everyone should watch #itswhatsinside on Netflix. A great ride of a film and if you like things like Knives Out you’ll probably enjoy it a lot.

Justin @fallenshutter.bsky.social · Dec 9

#Beef on Netflix is an absolutely flawless show. Highly recommend.

Justin @fallenshutter.bsky.social · Nov 16

#DanDaDan is absolutely fantastic. How a show can shift so quickly from light hearted and introspective to a deep gut punch of emotion is something everyone should experience.
