It is my solemn duty to point out @therealelvira.bsky.social made this joke about forty years ago (about a different film, naturally…)
Best film review ever right there…..

I was lucky: the very first thing my college physics professor said to us in Science History 101 was (paraphrasing): the division between arts and sciences is a scam, they overlap and interact endlessly, and we’re going to talk about that.

Thank you, Professor Peter Skiff.
this is certainly what some people WANT you to believe, yes
Maths and physics are objective and humanities is subjective.

That's the difference.

Today “America” arrested journalists, @wsj.com. If you think this kind of abject apologia for the dictator will protect you, you’re kidding yourself.

In last night's episode of SHRINKING, the lovely @michaelurie.bsky.social had a line something like "It's too bad we're such good people."

Well... 11 years ago I produced a movie starring Michael, titled... SUCH GOOD PEOPLE. It's a delightful romp, and you might dig it:

Such Good People (2015)
A young couple discovers a secret room filled with cash while house sitting for celeb friends who die under mysterious circumstances while overseas.

Very excited Drawing Blood has returned! Picked up the first 6 issues on a whim last year and was pleasantly surprised by how funny and emotional and raw it all felt. Very much worth the read.

The current astronomical ICE budget was established by a bill that passed in 2025 with precisely zero (0) democratic votes. But this person, who knows this, wants you to blame democrats for it anyway. You can judge why for yourself.
The ICE budget is so astronomical you have to imagine they will keep inventing new ways to use it and the mission creep has only begun. The budget will create its own permanent constituency of overreach on its own. Thanks Dems.

This is a bizarre thing to just intentionally lie about, 0 Dems voted for the BBB that did this, this was literally just Republicans

If there's one thing I know about racist white people is that they expect all white people to be racist.

So they literally cannot compute why a bunch of white folks would be in the streets when they're not the ones being kidnapped

This isn’t the end of Bovino’s humiliations. It’s the beginning. It’s a fucking prelude to spending the rest of his life losing lawsuits and criminal cases.

Nuremberg Not Appomattox.

That’s the rallying cry.

Shit's pretty dark. But so many of you are fucking rad and deserve love as much as you do safety. Much love to all of you.

This is the advice I always give.
Make friends. Real ones.

Maybe they’ll be your collaborators and maybe they won’t. Maybe your careers will grow together, maybe they won’t. That part doesn’t matter as much as real honest connection.

Develop real friendships in the space with people you can trust.
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝

This is a great thread, and true. Fascists are always with us. MAGA has been around since I was a kid. It is periodically emboldened by every shitty GOP President, and some are worse than others.

They are cowards, and shame works. It doesn’t change their broken minds. But it does shut them up.
Towards the end of the war, many of the Germans who still supported Hitler did so not bc they believed in what he was doing but bc they were afraid of what would happen to them when he was gone.

I suspect a lot of Trump's core support is the same.
Trump has even lost Rasmussen now
