Yeah I’m lookin for a fella by the name of Meehoff, first name Jack. full name is Jack Meehoff. It kind of sounds like “jack me off” when you say it all together. He’s incredibly sensitive about it. yeah. anyway tell him his wife got killed by a hot air balloon while she was cheating on him

I think the same thing about the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark books and stuff. Having some kind of media that you know might scare you but it's an option on the table is important as a kid, I think

It’s sorta funny that one of the Project 2025 items is “defund the FBI”. In all seriousness: good luck guys

I wrote this about "Calliope" five years ago. I am very sad and tired.

Haven't seen Maxxxine yet but from the sounds of it you will probably like at least some of at least one of them, which is honestly not terrible for a trilogy this eclectic

Though it’s a neat throwback that features a few memorable performances, MaXXXine imitates its 1980s influences a little too well, prioritizing style and adding little substance to the series.

Has Robert Eggers ever talked about whether Jaws was an influence on The Lighthouse? Watching it last night I felt like the bit of homoeroticism with Quint and Hooper when they’re drunkenly comparing scars HAD to be a touchstone in developing that script

Remembering a year or two ago when Joe Biden said his father, a man born in 1915, told him as a child that "love is love," and then Biden presumably disregarded this teaching until around 2014 as he ran on anti-gay marriage platforms through most of his career

Yeah exactly, "autumn" and "halloween" are two different aesthetics and feelings. If we need to be mainlining horror movies and haunted houses from September 1st on and then on November 1st we put the tree up, when do we get to enjoy apple picking and pumpkin spice stuff

The idea of a forced march to Halloween and then Christmas eradicates the entire casual enjoyment of autumn, and at this rate, summer too

Watching Jaws, I completely forgot about when Brody is like “Are you rich?” and Hooper immediately replies “Uh, yeah.”

The coolest Judas Priest thing is whenever Rob Halford growls an “oooo” but it’s also falsetto and also vibrato, so it’s like “OouOUouoOOOuuhh”

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

Hi, to be clear: cis straight men CAN be totally normal and empathetic about lesbians and trans people without "secretly" being closeted or an egg or whatever the hell. The hyper parasocial way some folks go "oh estrogen would fix him" or ascribe identities to actually real people is kinda weird!!

As long as Trump is alive and eligible, he’s going to run for president every four years. I don’t know why everyone was running polls in 2022 without him on the list, or why the Justice Department didn’t have him in cuffs by late January 2020, but these are part of why we’re in the situation now

“You should be calling for TRUMP to drop out!” I would love if Trump dropped out of the race but he’s not going to do it, because he’s a cartoonishly evil man. Also everyone with the power to block him from running because of his many many crimes has sat on their hands for four years

I remember speculation they were gonna shuffle him out in 2020 at the convention for Cuomo, and all his boosters (but never Biden himself) saying he was going to be a one-term caretaker Prez. I think their gerontocracy and party machinations have backed them in the corner it was always going to

I would be very surprised if Biden stepped down from running, primarily because I can't imagine a justifiable way for them to sidestep Harris leading the ticket, which nobody wants. Shuffling in Gavin Newsom or someone just feels too farfetched to me
