Nice to see things ramping up on this app. Mildly curious how this place picks up the pieces of what's left on the "other site."

As for me, I tend to post about cinema, horror games, apocalyptic ephemera etc. etc.

Also my cats, and occasional snapshots of life in the PNW.

Glad you're here.

Walken’s Headless Horseman has to be one of the great uncredited roles lol:

Task has 2 episodes left, but E05 was one of the best things I’ve watched on TV streaming in some time.

If you liked Mare of Eastown, it’s of a kind with that. (same creator)

TASK is a gritty, character-driven crime drama. Yes would recommend if into that. Similar vibes to films like Out of the Furnace or Prisoners.

out of curiosity what did you make of The First with Sean Penn? A show about space that never made it to space.

and by that actually a remake of The Searchers (although inverted).

hadn’t considered it too deeply until now, but the idea that One Battle After Another should be more properly understood as a Star Wars remake than a Pynchon adaptation holds water.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
