a Charles Entertainment Kirk skin mask would be very hard to see through what with all the apertures being concentrated in the middle like Littleface from Dick Tracy. glad Ed Gein went in a different direction

lots to appreciate about Godfather Part II but for my money the single most affecting, indelible, devastating moment is provided here by Diane Keaton: the pain, the desperation, the betrayal, the yearning up until the door shuts in her unforgettable face. RIP youtu.be/DWlDdPXwHSo?...

Thank you, Diane Keaton, for starring in the film Baby Boom and teaching my Irish-American elementary-school self the word "pisher"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

which is why fandom as a site of exchange between writers and readers/fans is also a site of contestation. some fans really seem to hate the creators of the thing they love, as if they resent their power to impose problems. even when they don't there's for sure a kind of jockeying that goes on

Someone at the TVL NYCC panel asked if the writers had considered "solving" the louis-lestat-armand love triangle with a throuple and the response was an emphatic NO (lol) and i have a take brewing that readers/fans are drawn to imagining solutions where writers are more about loving problems

it's a sickness, and I say that as someone who writes fanfic now. "rooting" for a fictional character to succeed in life like they're a real person to the point where you get angry with the writer when they don't is demented and antisocial

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

Maybe once a year on the LIRR I find an unopened can of beer. Tonight it was a nice craft IPA tall boy. Consider the birds of the air and the commuters of the train.

I have liked this anthology series and I like this season, but boy, material this white hot is probably best suited to an underground comic, which is what this most reminded me of
