it's always this at the core. like yes sure tearing down unjust systems *sounds* great but if your energy is all for destruction without any plans or capacity to care for ppl in the aftermath

it's helping nobody, just satisfying some urge to see stuff break

I keep thinking of these four shows that aired before the 2016 election and how combined they presaged so much that happened:

1) Scandal
2) Mr Robot
3) UnREAL
4) The Americans

I spent most of yesterday offline and so much was reported and then retracted that by the time I got back online everything had canceled itself out and there was no news

last thing i'll say is take your immediate reaction to the news and log off. right now social media is a frenzy of "political violence is good actually" vs "political violence is bad actually" and approximately zero valuable insight will emerge from the tussle.

Important article! I study how wildlife is depicted on social media, BUT we shouldn't ignore how domestic animals are treated. Please don't like, or give full view, to social media posts of animals that may be distressing the animal.

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society.

That's it. That's the post.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

So many decades of casually branding and dehumanizing "criminals" led us here--you can be as enthusiastic about inhumane sadism as you want as long as you qualify that the recipient is a "horrible criminal", and a *lot* of people will agree with you.

Tonight from Scarecrow: BUG (2006)

This shot hit a spot so intensely that I rewinded the movie so I could take a video of it

This week from Scarecrow: The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

If you're a seasoned third wheel and want to see some positive representation, this is NOT your movie

but what a movie it is!

I've been pretty inactive here I realize, and here's the thing: Twitter was a hellhole of brain poison waaaaaaay before it got formally adopted by fascists. A global, semi-anonymous town square is a terrible idea! Town squares should be town-sized, at most!

Fox News in the airport is headlining that “trans radical attacks tesla dealership” and I think they mean this as a pejorative but all I can think is “hell yeah”, which is the correct take.

For folks who are watching the video of the woman in Kootenai County, Idaho being dragged out of the townhall by (literal) brownshirts, and are (understandably) distressed and wondering, “What can we do if we see this happening?”:

May I introduce you to the tactic of de-arresting?

What I miss most in my experience of "adulthood" is simply hanging out with your friends without the clock ticking down to when everybody has to go home to their pets and responsibilities. "Gotta catch the last bus, it was good to see you!" ad infinitum

New today on the site:

“On paper, RED ROOMS is the ideal horror movie for a person like me, which is to say, a coward. It would be a misnomer to say that Pascal Plante’s film has no violence in it though: it is violence, a bloodless film that is rich with blood.”

I did Jamuary for the first time, and somehow I actually made it to the end. I made a playlist out of the days I'm happiest with. finishing something, even a collection of unpolished jams, feels strange and new.
