The thing that gets me about Predator movies is our experience of them is like what a tiger must feel like when confronted by a fat, white, Republican dentist who only shows up once every few years to blast away at things with his stupid fuckin' rifle. All we see are a few privileged assholes.

In every apocalyptic future, no matter how devastated by nuclear war or viruses we are, no matter how savage and insane the cannibal hordes, it gives me hope that one of them will always be able to scare up a top hat.
I've just written the two 'stacks I support and told them I'm dropping them for their duration on the platform. I've been in the "well, uh, I'll hold my nose" fence-sitting position too long.

A checklist of things required to call a building in the woods a "cabin" in movies, consisting of: The toilet experience is disturbing in at least one fundamental way; Bears; No running water / water requires some sort of filtration to remove grit and stank; Any meal or bathroom time could be interrupted by a squirrel/possum or bat at any moment; May not have mice but feels like it should have mice; Neighbours have angry dogs, guns, or angry dogs with guns; Windows are single-pane, and divided into smaller panes held in with some sort of pre-war goo; Liveable for 2.5 seasons max; winter is deathfuckery; Smells of pine, wood smoke, and 10,000 canned bean farts; More bears

How about YOU SNOOZE YOU WINZ because you had a nice snooze
The final Shocktober 2025, after some things got shifted around in the last week. Lots of winners (stars), one noped-out-early (Calvaire), some blahs (Ninth Configuration, Spider Baby, a segment of VHS Halloween). MetaFilter's DirtyOldTown and @evandorkin.bsky.social inspired many selections!

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.
Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.
These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
