With the new war on protein nonsense it’s time to bring this back around again. Never forget that everything out of their mouth is diabolical cowardly bad faith horseshit

My mom died on January 10th from lung cancer. She passed peacefully in hospice with me and my brother visiting. She was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, actress, and musician. She also raised me as a single mom in 70s/80s/90s NYC, which easily deserves some sort of separate award.

We're kicking off 2026 with a run centered on Sam Raimi, starting with his first movie for a major studio, as he turns Liam Neeson into a monster-superhero hybrid in 1990's DARKMAN.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

We close out the @weenjoypodcast.bsky.social year (and our MCU Phase One run) with under-the-radar indie gem THE AVENGERS! And what better way to leave 2025 than with someone who’s always angry.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

the "made by real human people" tag was the strongest language i was allowed to use but rest assured AI was allowed nowhere near this show. if someone even had the notetaker thing in zoom on theyd be told to turn it off and given ten demerits
