You ever think about how there were dudes that probably saw loads of combat in WWII and then 20-odd years later were playing henchmen on BATMAN

Annoying horological content warning: I’m on a mission to find a copy of the first wristwatch I ever had, seen here.

I don’t remember what it is but I’d guess a mid-1970s Batman or spy toy watch of some kind. This is the only image I have of it.

If you have any leads, get in touch!

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

You don’t need AI; AI is not “inevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I love talking about movies but its always a secondary activity to Watching and Experiencing them. The good and the bad.

I worry social media had reversed that, where being a part of Movie Discourse (and worse contrarians within it!) has become the Priority and Experiencing them, secondary.

Saw a negative review of Knives Out and Glass Onion that was essentially "movies like this shouldn't be about contemporary issues in the real world" and what are we doing here?

Does anyone actually like movies anymore?

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Deny a horror story is a horror story in one sentence. (No reason.) I’ll go first:

“Dracula is less of a horror movie and more about the immigrant journey.”
