No way? What a loss. Genuinely indescribable the impact Jacob’s has had on film. Capitalism: Child Labor still rings in my mind. An all timer among all timers.

RIP Ken Jacobs, a titan of experimental film and one of the 5 or 6 most important filmmakers in my lifetime. Must revisit this epic.

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

Good on the AP for rightly kicking Texas and Penn State out of the top 25

I never want to hear another word about a James Franklin-coached football team. Irrelevant coach irrelevant culture irrelevant football.

ICE initially claimed that the officer was "seriously injured" sustaining "severe injuries" and in "serious condition" but actual body cam footage of the ICE agents now shows that they LIED. The officer himself says it was "nothing major" via Chicago Sun Times: chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

The shorts scene is single-handedly keeping my hope for cinema as an art alive.

Love sneaking in little 5 - 8 minute shorts at work when no one is looking

Man maybe I’m just wired different but all I want is a bunch of friends with weird little interests they don’t shut up about. Oh you love this magical girl anime that was only available on VHS for a week at Suncoast Video or whatever? You’re into Korean shoegaze? Be my friend and never shut up.

I think some people are also scared to explore outside mainstream art because they might encounter something they fall in love with, but no one they know likes it. They don't want to be embarrassed or cringe or whatever by being the outsider.

Oh nooooooessss, you might read / play / hear / watch something you didn't fall in love with?

That's actually okay.

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point.

Curious...

communist?

please rapture me
The image is a screenshot of a news article from "THE HILL" with the campaign section header. The headline reads: "Harris on Trump: 'We're dealing with a communist dictator'". The article is credited to Alex Gangitano with a date and time stamp of 09/23/25 09:02 AM ET.

Below the headline, there is a photo of Kamala Harris speaking at a podium with the seal of the President of the United States on it. She is gesturing with her hands raised and appears to be mid-sentence. The backdrop behind her includes the text "THE ECONOMIC CLUB OF PITTSBURGH."

The image conveys a strong political statement attributed to Harris regarding Trump.

I mean just get a Smart TV with the XBOX app at this point (speaking generally). OD will be on Game Pass. This is why I’m not super annoyed by the price hike. It sucks but their future is outside the console space anyways so whatever. All consoles will be a grand-plus next generation anyways.

I still can’t believe I got a Series X and 2 years of Game Pass for…$500 at Best Buy with the All Access program. Just crazy times tbh.

Watching some highlights from the Lions game last night and that handoff to option on 4th and 1 is one of the coolest fucking plays. You have studs everywhere on that offense. I hop that becomes somewhat regular for them to run.
