One half of my Russian feed is discussing the new episode of Heated Rivalry, the other Putin's four-hour press conference.
Pretty much sums up the state of our nation!

Something I never knew before:
According to @garywhitta.bsky.social's preview in PC Gamer, the casting for live-action cutscenes in #JediKnight was conducted by the very same Robin Gurland who worked on the prequel trilogy!

Searching for some first reactions to the new film Anaconda.
Already enountered two huge penises in the results.

Gotta love having war-related nightmares, followed by anxiety spikes during the day that sabotage my ability to meet the deadlines, so the whole cycle can repeat in perpetuity.
What fun.

Here’s to a great decade and to what is yet to come. However you like your Star Wars, let’s celebrate the saga in all forms. May the Force be with you all!

The most terrifying thing about Trump and his ilk is how bad they are at being, you know, human.
As a rule, tyrants lack empathy, yes. But it takes a special kind of sociopath to not consider whether what they're saying is appropriate and how it can be interpreted by others. No wonder they love AI.

@dgraham.bsky.social: “The simplest reason Trump posted this is the same reason he posts anything: The man cannot resist making everything about himself, even if it’s the heartbreaking murder of a beloved artist in an alleged domestic dispute.”

Watching #TheLegendOfHei, I kept thinking how it's a pretty solid X-Men adaptation.
I never knew the sequel would go even further and open with an X2-like massacre of a magic school by human soldiers!

So, having now seen #WakeUpDeadMan, I have to wonder.
Is Rian Johnson the kindest filmmaker working today? Like, in his art and life, he consistently seems to be a good, moral man.
Even his villains he not so much hates, but ridicules and lets them destroy themselves.

Not to defend this movie specifically, but adapting #AnimalFarm as it was written just wouldn't make sense in 2025.
Today we are more likely to see dictatorships rise not from left-wing revolutionaries' insatiable lust for power, but from politicians prostrating themselves before corporations.

Attended a friendly Friday queer-together to watch the first half of #HeatedRivalry S1.
(even got a sticker to commemorate the occasion)
Really impressed with the show so far! Horny, dramatic, features some of the best faux-Russian I've ever heard and uses sex as a genuine storytelling tool.

Of all the projects in this picture:
• 9 projects got released
• 5 got renewed for further seasons (spin-offs, too!)
• 3 are still in development
• 2 got cancelled
But somehow people pretend Lucasfilm's run in the past five years has been disasterous. Go figure.
