Loooool. Eat shit, fascists

Here's some fashy tears for your Sunday.

These are immensely entertaining, visually fantastic, often upsetting and horrific movies about corruption in then-contemporary Japan and there's way worse ways to spend an evening than with one of them.

Suck it, losers.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

Okay, office de-junking continues. I have a wacom Graphire tablet. No screen, just a usb connection and stylus. Can't get the drivers to work on my current machine, which means it's useless to me. But it might not be to you. Free to the first person in the US who speaks up. Hit me in the DMs.

I suppose checklists for genre are appealing because they make things easy. Like Mad-Libs.

Looks like the mods backed off on the adult content settings again. Which is nice.

Let's go back to the egg.

Thinking a lot about forms and genre outlets and expectations and creeping triumphalism in this environment and it explains a lot about why I find contemporary movies/tv so dull.

The Netflix Enola Holmes movies are all sequels to Bridgerton send fleep

At a year here and I'm a Bluesky elder? This is me realizing that.

The good news about today's signing was that I sold 3x the copies I did last time. That's right. I sold 3 books.

It's all fine and good to say that the GOP wants to take away birth control, or whatever they clearly want to take away. Getting people to think that it's possible if not actual, that's the real trick. And if you think shutting down Roe is enough, you are wrong.

On the latest Junk Filter I’m joined by @souljagoyshmulik.bsky.social for a look at some reactionary American cinema of the 60s: the John Birch Society propaganda film ANARCHY U.S.A., John Wayne’s pro-Vietnam War film THE GREEN BERETS and the cultural satire JOE podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

"Rapist carries an ancient stigma" "Murderer carries an ancient stigma" "Traitor carries an ancient stigma" Let's just do it. Let's go there.

I don’t even know where to begin with this.

Future grandkids: How did you deal with the Collapse? me: I assembled an alternate reality from detritus from the past and insulated it with whatever privilege I could scrape together.

Pre-gaming this afternoon's signing.

Are you ready for the world that's coming!?

I want the benefits of a timeless muse I want to get rid of all my negative views

Talking to a family member years ago: "We can't mess with the economy to prevent climate change! It's unproven!" Me: Where does that economy take place in, huh?

It's 97 out. Preparing to see the face of a loving god after a gulp of this.

Oh, its happening. Petaluma! One hour or less! Me! You! Defying genre expectations!

TFW the fix is in.
