anyway these tweets were inspired by me writing about kiss of the spider woman and having the cursed thought that he might try to revive that in a few years and make me want to fight him

i find the way people project meaning onto his projects more interesting than any one of the ones i've seen (either filmed or live)

kind of wild that jamie lloyd hasn't been arrested for crimes against musical theater

Much like Antonio Banderas did with his unique production of Company carefully translated into Spanish, I'd love to fully translate Kiss of the Spider Woman into Spanish (or a mixture of English/Spanish to emphasize the division between "film" and "reality") for both stage (and screen).

Just a reminder that Jack published a book last year called “unhumans” that makes the argument that all Democrats and anyone left of Francisco Franco should be rounded up and murdered en mass for the rest of the populations entertainment.
Jack is a Nazi and hell bent on the murder of his opponents

What a thrill to finally share my piece on two of my favorite games: Snake Eater & Guns of the Patriots. I interrogate how Kojima shows us cyclical violent worlds but still attempts to guide us toward non-violence (in sometimes questionable ways).

I don't even know what to say anymore. Like, yeah, we're all laughing because it's so stupid, but it's just to stop ourselves from crying over the fact that these people are just going to arrest, torture, and kill anyone they want to identity as "anti-fascist" in order to maintain fascist regime.

Not only worrying to hear them admit that they seem to have an innocent woman in custody under the guise of being "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" (which makes zero sense), but that they say "eliminate them from existence in American society" about actual human beings.

I had an absolute blast speaking to michael sheen about TRON: LEGACY. garrett hedlund's costume burning him! daft punk being french as hell! sheen describing castor as being a little "fash-y" with all those cabaret-inspired high kicks! a good time. at @vulture.com:

I’ve become unreasonably obsessed with MGS4 over the last six months, a game that I never played until buying a copy this year and bringing my PS3 back out of retirement. Easy to dismiss as “fan service” or “playable cutscenes”, but that wouldn’t be engaging with all it tries.

hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Newsom is a NON-VIABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. None of the quippy clapback posts mean a goddamn thing if he is willing to throw the queer community under the bus at any opportunity he gets to do so.

He's less pro-trans than the governor of Kentucky.

I do not get why anyone is obsessed with this useless fuck.

if the democratic party starts stepping away trans people they might as well sign this country away to the far right forever

The Free Press reporter who wrote the piece about how Gazan kids aren’t actually starving that badly because some of them had preexisting conditions was hired directly from Matt Yglesias, fwiw

Even though we wrote them separately, it's been beautiful seeing how we all touch upon similar things because of how much Kojima has always commit to his interests and thematic throughlines. Really excited for mine to publish next as I got to write about two of my favorite games.

Love to open @reverseshot.bsky.social every morning this week and see new pieces from the Kojima mini-symposium we've been working on this year. Hope everyone enjoys us diving into the work and themes of @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp through our writing.

Spent my flight to Chicago last week reading through half of The Crying of Lot 49 and honestly every chapter just delighted me so goddamn much that I think I'm fully Pynchon pilled

If you're in Miami, don't miss Daniel Rivero (@danielrivero.bsky.social) at Books & Books (@booksandbooks.bsky.social) with Ana Sofia Pelaez this Thursday, Oct. 9 at 7:00pm. Rivero will discuss his new book, JUST FREEDOM, which examines the battle to expand voting rights in Florida.

He wrote an Instagram post shrugging off the box office and saying he’s proud of the film. I’m not sure that’s the same as “issuing a statement”.

Maybe my new goal is to get the public library to add at least one trans book per month
