it’s so important, now more than ever, that we remember: there’s a cowboy with a big knife in Dracula, because Dracula takes place in cowboy times.

there simply isn't enough coverage of the fact that, as a matter of ideology and public policy, trump and his administration think domestic violence is good

Phil Lewis @phillewis.bsky.social · Sep 8

Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

Or when they play their kid in the movie. Nice little moment of two thumbs up

Tara Wine-Queen Writes @tarawinequeen.bsky.social · Sep 8

Okay but can we all agree the one undeniable benefit of Hollywood nepo baby existence is the deep satisfaction of seeing one of them play the kid version of their extremely famous parent in a movie and being like OMG YES that is exactly what baby Meryl Streep should look like!!

Sometimes an adaptation is the onscreen version of fruit-flavored fizzy water that’s clearly never encountered said fruit at any point in its life but had the word GRAPE shouted at it over and over again as if doing so could cause it to transform into book-accurate rep of a cluster of juicy red orbs

I don't want to reread something I wrote last week, much less work I did in undergrad 🤢

Unfortunately, Victor Frankenstein is very relatable for obsessing over an ambitious project and the second it’s done being so disgusted with how it turned out he never wants to set eyes on it again

The modern English word clue only exists and has its modern meaning because of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur: it derives from the much older clew, a ball of thread or yarn, which Ariadne gave Theseus to navigate the Labyrinth. There is no other source for clue in its modern sense.
