It's funny but it's also irritating

And also everything above my shoulders hurts right now including eyeballs and hair follicles so maybe I'm just crabby

Every time there's an influx of new users, people post their starter packs from 2 yrs ago, always called "The Most Perfect People in the World and Also Literal Angels," then I check them out and see I've muted tons for saying things like "let's kill this person's pet" or "poor people are irritating"

It was such a pleasure to write the essay for Criterion's 4K+Blu Ray of CAPTAIN BLOOD, a movie I dearly love. And for friends who love commentaries, note that this has one from Curtiz biographer (and fount of knowledge) Alan K. Rode @thetallcinephile.bsky.social www.criterion.com/films/29013-...

The famed swordfight on the beach between Errol Flyn and Basil Rathbone in CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935)

Halfway through The Phoenician Scheme and still irritated that Wes Anderson didn't demand a second take for Ayoade's cameo because he was having trouble not laughing through his lines

It me birthday

Glitterninja's birthday cake with chocolate frosting, dark gray sprinkles and silver stars, and 3 alien monster candles lit on top, only 3 because that's all I could find quickly and I really wanted to eat that cake.

well I guess thank you to Google Lens for letting me know that a picture I got from what I thought was a mostly locked-down Facebook is actually easy to find through search

most of the crazy MAGA assholes on the local Facebook group have crazy eyes but I can't show you because it would dox them

Hendrix was fired from Kris Kobach's staff, shockingly, and the Kansas Young Republicans have been shut down. Probably just a temporary blip, I cannot imagine Kansas Repubs haven't known their groups were full of this stuff, probably since the Tea Party days

I think they also had fake accounts based on real live small farmers out in Western Kansas. I asked one farmer why he was so concerned about Riley Co. roads when he lived hundreds of miles away in Hodgeman and he deleted, but so did about 5 other accounts at the same time

Some of these Kansas Young Republicans were absolutely running Roger Marshall's Facebook at one point, they were groypers or maybe just groyper-adjacent, and scattered like cockroaches when some of us pointed it out

Drew and I had some nice chats on Twitter years ago, when it was still a place where you could have nice chats. An immense talent and massive influence on our culture, and also just a really nice human being. A terrible loss.

Then they hit me with this "pretentious arthouse guy" making up fake director names and sad sack Harrison asking who they are, which actually makes sense because yeah, who IS Dafydd Lench?

Another screenshot from the merge game Gossip Harbor where a film fan talks about directors but uses fake names like "Dafydd Lench" instead of David Lynch, and then a guy named Harrison asks who they are, and it's supposed to be funny that he doesn't know but also they used the name Dafydd Lench and it makes sense to ask who the hell Dafydd Lench is.

I've been playing a merge game called Gossip Harbor and the other day it hauled off and threw a Goncharov meme at me

It's called "Concharov" instead because you sometimes sell conch shells in the game probably, I dunno, don't ask me

A screenshot from a merge game called Gossip Harbor with a fake poster from the fake viral meme movie "Goncharov" which they spelled "Concharov" as a pun on the game, because sometimes your job is to sell conch shells. Yeah I dunno man, I'm just reporting what I see.

You rarely see Novas this color because it's terrible, but hilariously my grandmother insisted on this color even though technically it wasn't available on her 1968 Super Sport. The dealer had to call around to get approval for it!

Then as soon as dad bought it off her he painted it silver

Watching an old TV show and someone's got a Chevy Nova that's the same weird greeny-gold color that my grandma's Nova was, I think this is a 1971 Chevy V8 coupe but don't quote me on that

A bad screenshot of a golden-green 1971 Chevy Nova with a white top, I think, from a TV show I can't identify for a few days for reasons I can't tell you!

Started sort of writing again a few months ago and forgot how much technical work goes into film writing

If I never convert another file again it'll be too soon. Stupid codecs.

Pretty much everything they say on here is negative, falsely accusatory, or hateful. I half expected to find out they were selling something and were being unpleasant to gin up attention for advertising.

@tokimeki.blue Please help, how can I search on the Bluesky app? The only way I've found is to tap on a user avatar, then delete the username that's in the search box and replace it with my search term. Surely there's an easier way?
