All the critiques I've seen of PLURIBUS seem to come from this place of "why isn't this explaining the sci fi elements right now?" But this is more of a character study than a technical wonk kind of story. It's about loneliness and how you move through the world.

PLURIBUS finale was head-spinning. I saw part of it last night while sleep was at the edge of my brain and it was like some kind of surreal nightmare. Watched it again today and it's really brilliant.

think the epstein conversation’d be more bearable as a survivor if i thought more people talking about it nonstop were committed to the kind of radical politics that might one day lead to a just society for us but it’s mostly libs using it to dunk on big cheeto the same way they’d use elonia stuff

SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT (1984) is trashy, but there's something crazy and sort of funny about the psychosis of these old horror movies. "Yes you become a serial killer because your own parents died." They'll probably be letting those writers run the ruins of the psychology field in a few years.

If you're into horror movies taking place on Christmas, try DEAD END (2003). It's on Tubi. I remember trying this at random back from Blockbuster in high school. Never left me really. Just a weird little dark trip of a movie. Creepy and surreal.

She would've let them keep bombing Gaza while a lot of liberals looked the other way. There was no plan, no principle there. It was an appalling excuse for an election with two despicable candidates.
Fun fact: Kamala Harris wouldn’t have tried to go to war with Venezuela or attempted to annex Greenland. She also wouldn’t have tried to turn Gaza into a shitty real estate project, but it’s not like the people who refused to vote for her ever genuinely cared about that.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Normal, thoughtful, fallible humans fund genocides, huh?
Biden wasn’t perfect. Def had issues, some missteps…. Kinda like a normal, thoughtful, fallable human would.
But he wasn’t a lying POS crook. I respected him. I voted for him. I stand by him.
tRump? Fuck him in his heart. Cock in the aorta. Literally fuck his heart until it explodes.
Too much?

This is something I've noticed with the comments about journalism. Everyday writers, who often do solid work, are conflated with these billionaire fuck owners and the awful bigotry that infests things in the whole country.
I think you’re oversimplifying the Times’ and Post’s many great journalists versus the often obnoxious stances of their ownership or editorial pages; regardless, that’s a choice and like all choices it has tradeoffs! I agree that I’d love to be able to pay a couple bucks for individual articles!

BEST WISHES TO ALL on Shudder is some A-grade horror. This director Yuta Shimotsu is apparently really new, but this blows a lot of other recent movies out of the water completely. Totally deranged stuff. I mean that positively.

He does not need a distraction. This is his second term. Anyone who doesn’t know this already cannot be taken seriously. Who’s gonna impeach him? He’s not doing imperialism, transphobia, racism, etc as a distraction from Epstein. He’s been like this since he first took office back in 2017

I've never really been the type to be like "the real world is too depressing so I don't want depressing fiction." I read Cormac McCarthy to relax. There's something soothing in the honesty.

To the liberals who hound me saying “oh you’re to thank for trumps term then brilliant ideology”
Why should I have to pick between a fascist who wants me dead, and a fascist who wants me dead but is blue? Is the middle eastern children bombings the price for peace?? Christ

Got to be DIE MY LOVE and EDDINGTON for movies. And Joe Hill's new book KING SORROW has been completely enthralling.
2025 has been a rough year. What's one piece of art that's brought you absolute joy despite everything?

What Trump said about Rob Reiner is just trolling anyway. He wants all the attention on himself and, as an added bonus, for the conversation to be dumbed down to focus solely on his social media incendiary bullshit. I'm really just sick of giving the guy what he wants.

tbh, even if they become less profitable, as long as it's an affordable form of entertainment, I think there's always gonna be demand for movie theaters. people need a reason to go out, parents need something to take their kids to, and movies are just so fucking good.

Anyway stop using spotify and become a Bandcamp weirdo

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday and they waive all fees so 100% of what you pay goes to the artists

That Spotify "music age" thing is so weird to me. "Oh well you couldn't ever enjoy music from a different time unless you're old, just listen to our algorithms and never think for yourself again."

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it

the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying
a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

A haunting, urgent piece about a woman who counts the number of women murdered by men in the US and how profound an exercise it is.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have many things in common, including that all are war mongers but have supporters who are totally oblivious to this and deny it.

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good
