Project Hail Mary feels like a hit.

When I was younger I would sometimes be taken to a play where people smoked outside in black dresses and leather jackets and doc
martins and on the stage someone sat in a chair on an intentionally overlit stage and monologued a lot in different voices and The Bride! kind of has that vibe.

The Bride! is solidly in the tradition of “weird 90s/early 00s indie genre movies,” and for that I sincerely salute it.

For me, a major choice re Buckley’s character was significantly distancing. An ambitious near-miss with solid moments and craftsmanship.

I’ve heard that if you like naval warfare/historical fiction that you’ll enjoy them very much.

To be perfectly clear:

It isn’t upsetting to me in the way these monsters are hoping for. I’m not “triggered.” There are no “liberal tears.”

I am instead quietly and profoundly morally angry in a way that strengthens resolve and fuels action.

That video from the White House, memeifying the war, is morally bankrupt and spiritually repulsive.

Its use of Superman - paragon of decency and compassion, of restraint-in-power - feels deeply blasphemous to me in a way that I cannot quite articulate, but that is genuinely upsetting.

Rudolph needs to ease off on both the heavy drinking and the absurd false equivalencies.

Same.

And now to watch this High Fantasy film about a version of America where the powerful are brought low by a free press.

I swear. The number of people online who don’t understand the meaning of the word “teaser” is staggering.

Watching these two shows back-to-back is one of my core childhood memories...

Muting the word “firefly.”

I’ve got much bigger things to be angry about right now. You do you and get as worked up as you want (no sarcasm or shade). I’m not wasting my energy getting upset about a possible tv reunion. Small beer.

Welcome to the hive, Jen.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits.”

By their fruits do we know these wolves all too well.

Did you look at last year’s emails from the White House which imply that he did?

We are governed by the arrogantly idiotic.

How Orwellian to attribute this quote to Orwell when he never said it.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I drank whiskey with Dave Matthews, performed for the 4/5s of Barenaked Ladies in a private show, and opened for Wheatus once.

“Reading is for people with slow brains” is something only a truly bonafide idiot would think to say.

Dude is a caricature of a caricature of a caricature.
