There’s a left in the USA? I’ve been here a while. I’ve not seen them. I even went to a college utterly stuffed with Marxist scholars.

I’m showing my dad some creature features, and yesterday we watched, The Host (2006), which, to my way of thinking, is how, if you must, use the creature feature for more than a creature feature. Not “elevated” sermons. I asked him halfway if he wanted to continue and he animatedly said yes.

the downfall of every single follower of a despot is their faith that they will be the exception to the rule that everyone but the despot is expendable. they truly all believe they will be the “final girl” in this slasher movie.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Finally someone has the proper take on this excellent picture. I will admit I have Keaton bias, though.
Michael Keaton is in dozens of absolute classic roles but his amazing shot at a villain in 1998's Desperate Measures is absolutely epic! Peter McCabe is an evil nutcase but you'll be rooting for him before long. Here's the DVD and Poster! The movie is a must-see!

This book sounds amazing.
My book Where We Stand, Where We fall is now up for pre-order. It's about the politics of Doctor Who, the themes the show keeps returning to over sixty years.
I mentioned this last week, but now there's a proper post about it, with a 30% discount code from the publisher: lmmyles.com/2025/11/26/b...

Everything needs funding properly. The roads, the NHS, Councils, schools, and so on and so on. WHere's the money coming from?
Personally, I'd hate to be a juror especially if the case was not a black & white, slam dunk.

This mewling coalescence of parties sound familiar, Americans? Like two pools of mucus joining to protect the parasitic owning class.

Name an unheralded profession you have immense respect for.
For me, it’s movers. Two thicc Russians came to my house to take out my broken washer and old dryer. They understood angles and the geometry of tight spaces like they were Euclid. Got them out in 15 minutes - would’ve taken me 15 years.
