The word "woke" sure has gone through a lot of transformations. Seven years ago, it simply meant perceptive, insightful, a bit wise

Now it sounds more like "people the regime wants to kill but has no legal reason to do so, so it uses this one word to justify human rights violations against". Odd

Cleaning something with isopropyl alcohol makes you more acutely aware of the various smudges on all surfaces you see from that point on

The next step, then, is obviously to clean your eyeballs with isopropyl alcohol

This administration is nothing short of totalitarian, authoritarian, and perfectly willing to violate the rights of the people - and if you want proof, this is it.

Lol exactly; I like my horror films like I like my ice cream: no ranch 🤷🏻‍♂️

C. S. W. @cswhorror.bsky.social · Sep 10

almost in the same way that a drama like Breaking Bad does, while also being a great example of the old South Park writing concept that “there should never be an ‘and then’ in your script; only therefores and buts.” Fantastic acting, fantastic writing, fantastic direction, fantastic film 🖤

Finally rewatched Talk To Me. I was a tad lukewarm on this film on first viewing, but on rewatch, my GOD. This movie is so profoundly, tragically heartbreaking, and the writing is absolutely watertight. It does a great job of showing external peril in interaction with internal character psychology,🧵

Hey. I got thoughts on this. I wanna share my thoughts on this at #TAFCON2026. So.
