I read that since the Breaking Bad/Saul crew were all out there, it's a way to sort of keep everyone working without a big disruption. Keeps everyone together!

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The lead actors were terribly miscast, but the movie is so stuffed with fun ideas and incredible visuals that I love it!

Yes! Cloud Atlas turned out... okay... But that trailer is maybe my favorite film of 2012.

Just sent an image of my own positive COVID test to my boss, open up Twitter and see this on my discover page. Wild.

Hope it doesn't hit you too hard!

It is INCREDIBLY misleading to use this old photo. "Misleading" is generous, actually. This is propaganda.

Ha! I was one of those people. Thought it was my internet and then truly wondered if it was being overloaded.

This is like if the Onion was trying write a quote making fun of you. Unbelievable.

After reading that statement earlier in the week, I STILL was not prepared for how bold of a movie it is. So glad it was made when it was, and I loved every minute of it.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Luna doesn't seem to know the TV exists. I've tried to show her videos of squirrels or whatever and I get nothing. Hipster-ass dog would probably just be like "I prefer live theater."

If your pet got ahold of the remote what show would they put on?

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

They really thought it was a trans woman. They wanted it to be a trans woman so bad. They made up details to leak to the press because they wanted it to be a trans woman. Turns out, it’s not.

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.
