A few years ago, in what may have been my last enjoyable interaction on Twitter, I asked for movie recommendations. And yall brought the HEAT.

Let's do it here!

What are some all-time movies that haven't won big awards and aren't super well known that I need to watch?

This was one of like 10 times when the larger show just stopped for several minutes so Slash could tell the devil to sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done.

Show was outstanding by the way. Axl is indeed a shell of himself but he makes it work mostly and had some standout moments. But Slash is absolutely unreal. I mean, I knew he was but with Axl being limited they have Slash messing around in the guitar constantly, truly staggering talent. My photo:

i love demolition man but it's really funny that the moment society begins its slide into dystopia is when a cop is jailed for destroying public property and killing dozens of innocent people, and the way to freedom is following a ranty guy who wants you to eat lots of meat because it's bad for you

Scientists said it could be done but I never believed it was possible to make an even better Vlad Guerrero.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

"Illegal or Unnecessary" (and often both) is the best summation of 2025 thus far

Hoy, la colombiana Linda Caicedo ha hecho esto en la Champions femenina con el Real Madrid. Impresionante.

Jared Wade @jaredwade.bsky.social · 7h

It's surely, at least much in part, a reaction to those soulless morons being so bad at their job — yet continuing to homd sway among elected officials candidates! So very much agreed. But nevertheless

This here’s a man of the people.

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

I don't know. He just said on the mic to his backstage people that he wanted to make sure the fan gets the sign back. And that "we'll sign it first." Made a dad joke about saying, "we'll sign the sign hahaha."

Jared Wade @jaredwade.bsky.social · 9h

Guns N' Roses, while playing a show last night in Bogotá, Colombia, borrowed this flag sign out of the crowd. Axl held it up for everyone then later ran around stage wearing it around his neck while singing. Said the whole band would sign it then make sure the fan got it back.

No show do Guns N' Roses de ontem em Bogotá, o Axl recebeu essa bandeira da plateia durante a música Civil War.

Cantor Axl Rose, homem branco de meia idade com cabelo louro, segura uma bandeira da palestina com o logotipo do Guns N' Roses e escrito "I don't need your civil war".

One day you're living in a constitutional republic, the next day the president is calling for the arrest of governors and mayors

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 10h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

It's maybe the most pronounced from IG and FB with the largest degradation in resolution. They regularly go from printable quality to illegible words. But Pinterest, TikTok, and Twitter and even random blogs often drop in quality/legibility for sure as well.
