Just a guy who did an antifascist drawing once, and used to tweet about Holiday Road. Also just a guy not actually named Nolan.

We have been taught for so long (my generation especially) that the biggest sin in life is to let someone get one up on you. So what? Life isn’t a contest; the people selling you that already consider you the pawns in their game. Empathy being destroyed is the death of anything good in human culture
This is literally the most sincere statement I have ever made online and ever will. I believe it to my bones and the day I stop believing it is the day I am no longer me, and I hope it’s the day I die.
One thing this thread is reminding me of is one if the reasons I love 70s Marvel is they are just throwing EVERYTHING at the wall to see if anything sticks.

Holy fuck.
A 20-something just told me the track titles on the back of my "Tim" shirt look like a list of ill-named bars in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago

Honestly even a ballpoint pen drawing on notebook paper would be more appealing and accurate to the product.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

I would literally prefer a fairly mid shoddy drawing by an actual stoner artist than the best AI has to offer.
And that’s ignoring the amazingly talented stoner artists out there.

I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.

Listening has become a shibboleth for outsourcing interrogative thought to an arbitrarily decided board of experts who may have as much qualification to speak on a given issue as an actual literal infant.

"I'm listening to X" is thought termination 99 times out of 100
i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia

Side note: I can only watch MST3K when no one else is home because my wife’s ex forced a ton of the show on her so she still doesn’t want to watch it willingly, and trying to watch a show that isn’t one of the five things my kids like is next to impossible.

Just seen this and although it may be somewhat late to apologise, I'm genuinely sorry for this and the pain it evidently caused. I thought I'd stopped writing takedown reviews like this by this date, but evidently not, and I'm ashamed by them all.

It’s a small thing to note, but this thread exchange between Robert, a Life Without Buildings member, and Mulvey himself shows that there’s nothing wrong at all with acknowledging your past mistakes and aiming to do better. The realm is music criticism but it is never just that.

I love Christmas and Christmas presents and Santa Claus, but I do need to say out loud from time to time that America’s cultural lever pullers figured out they could make buying products synonymous with parental love in the American mind so as to guarantee one big annual last-minute economic boost.
