i was watching a bunch of episodes of the x-files that end with duchovny dictating his reports like "since the dawn of time man has looked up. perhaps he should have looked down" and I was like who the fuck is reading these. turns out it's skinner

The thing I loved so much and will miss dearly about twitter is the way things like this can evolve over a period of about 12 hours. When you can watch something grow and be picked up and run with by everyone in your orbit, it can be a genuinely, heartwarmingly delightful experience. #teamjavelinas

Up to season 7 of my X-Files rewatch and honestly it’s been a delight. I’d forgotten how wonderfully silly this show was. Anyway here’s my OG OT3. I love them so much.

i think my crankiest “i am approaching middle age” opinion these days is that IP shared universe franchises have not just been bad for the movies but bad for audiences to, in that they have basically trained them to treat story and character as secondary to LORE and EASTER EGGS
rediscovering on threads that star wars fanboys are the absolute worst. had someone literally say that because i have only been a star wars fan for 30 years, i do not understand how much dave filoni means to the fandom

Not gonna lie, this one hits hard. Dammit, Ayoade. But also: Bye, bitch.
The full quote Richard Ayoade gave for Linehan's memoir is even longer and more dismaying than the cover blurb, as per the publisher's website at www.eye-books.com/books/tough-...

It’s important to understand that this is the way all capitalists think about all the “little people” they exploit; this one is just saying it with no filter, which happens every now and then with people who have become accustomed to thinking of their fellow human beings as food.
