Since I’ve gained some new followers here not from the old place, here’s a “me” primer: 90% of the time, I will only tweet/retweet about the following subjects and people, or things adjacent to said subjects. The other 10% of the time is random snark + occasional crass comments. That’s your warning

The train shit was the thing about season one that irked the fuck out of me the most, so I’m glad it seems like it’s one of Louis’ total fabrications 😶

I saw this at SDCC, but now it’s on YouTube. I can’t get over how perfect the music is. Lestat has just enough Bowie/Hedwig/T.Rex to sound how I always imagined. And not like fucking Korn. Also since the SDCC version they’ve added Lestat’s maker Magnus #TheVampireLestat youtu.be/dr0q5FHUO1E

We’re all hostage victims to an insane, stupid old man, propped up by the worst people in the fucking world.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I just got the greatest Funko Pop of all time in the mail. “Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me. I’d fuck me so hard.” #BuffaloBill #Precious #PutTheFuckingLotionInTheBasket

“A possessed man attempts to destroy his family!” I’m pretty sure the first time I saw #TheShining was this ABC Friday Night Movie. I woulda been 9. My parents hardly let me out of earshot, but barely paid attention to what I watched on TV. Anyway, it scared the shit outta me, & now I ❤️ horror

It’s simple, effective, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. I know it’s overstated, but man, 80s horror just ruled.

Watched John Carpenter's "The Fog" for the first time in ages tonite. This movie is still a genuinely creepy vibe. Anyway, in this movie, 21-year-old Jamie Lee Curtis is a hitchhiker who hooks up with 45-year-old Tom Atkins, and today, the internet would scream "Who's the true monster in the fog??"

Happy 50th Birthday to Power Girl, DC's brasher(& bustier) alt-version of Supergirl/Kara Zor-L. She debuted in All-Star Comics #58, which came out this week in 1975. She's survived the end of her universe, and like 4 different DC reboots since. She's more than just a boob window (But yeah, that too)

This needs to be seen far and wide. Every news show should open and close with this.
What have we become?

About 30% of our population mentally masturbates to videos like this. If we ever see the other side of this, for the rest of my days I will look at my neighbors with suspicion, and with the squintiest of eyes, wondering “Were you one of them?”

Twitter = blocking Nazis and MAGA weirdos
Bsky = blocking, nagging killjoy super lefties for coming after Dolly (DOLLY!) for apparently being too rich.

Can any platform just be normal?

Imagine your sister being so overdramatic that she freaks out millions of people so you gotta make a video saying "The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated."
