The same Democratic leaders who saw (correctly) that Joe Biden was not up to the task need to look in the fucking mirror.

I love to see comedians do horror. Scott has done a bunch, too. Should we call him a Scream King?

Would running Teslas off the road count toward this?
It goes without saying, I hope, that participating in ANYTHING that offers Musk more money or power is helping this Nazi coup? “No ethical consumption” etc or no, we do have to choose some easy choke points.

Doing your part to tank Tesla, getting the fuck off Twitter, these things are necessary. 🇺🇸

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

One of the reasons Horror is such an important genre right now — besides the fact that reality is a horror show — is that it’s a genre where people still regularly manage to make original and interesting films and increasingly that’s just not true about filmmaking in general

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

Me: Awards shows like the Academy Awards are pointless masturbation.

Me in the same breath: Ooh! The Substance got nominated!

I would fully expect to wake up in the middle of the night with this doll standing on my chest, repeating, "Mama. Mama. Mama."
Any doll nerds got the intel on how to fix a wonky eye on a Bitty Baby doll? She looks like she’s had a rough night out

Mini Horror Movie Reviews #1

MadS starts out simply and gradually escalates to chaos. The performances are fantastic. A fun ride. Worthwhile.
