Real historical take: It’s seemingly impossible for a white man to say, “Thanks for helping me see this other perspective in response to my statement. I will think about it.”
Glad I’m almost completely off that platform because holy hell this is awful….
from the original post. i think she's screaming b/c she knows she's fucked
BEEHOLDE MR MOO, WHO AM FANCY FESTIVE CATTE #CatsOfBluesky
harrowing watch, omg
oh these guys?
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
EDMONTON: this is Fiasco, @premeemohamed.com's beautiful boy. after slipping outside a few days ago, he needs help finding his way home. can you share this with your local circles?
getting scritched on his chin and holding my hand
Edmonton: Fiasco (the gray cat) is still missing. please please keep an eye out and spread the word!!!!
Contrasted with the era-defining buzzed-about indie, Sex, Lies, & Videotape?
I'm thinking about the long shadow cast by Tim Burton's Batman. Sometimes it feels like we're still living in it!
I read about an owl sanctuary that took in an young injured male owl and after it was released it would drop by semi-regularly with mice and shrews for the owls being cared for there
I was born in 1978, those are Peak movie years for me!
done! 💛
same!
I'm in, we'll worry about what happens when we've exhausted the niche idea when it happens
oh hell yeah
One of the best unintended consequences of people carrying cameras around in their pockets everywhere: the destruction of the myth created by film and television that police are hyper-competent, real-life superheroes rather than the uneducated and out of shape oafs and buffoons they actually are
How many secret police does it take to climb over a fence?
Was just reading a 1970s Village Voice piece about a big heist busted because the mastermind couldn't believe the clumsy tail were cops--movies had taught them they'd never be so half-assed. He figured they were other gangsters he could handle. The keystone cops arrested him.

The military has already released their own internal statistics showing that - rates of men entering the workforce are lower than women - enlistment rates are lower than women’s (our rates have remained steady for years) - men are going to COLLEGE less than women SO WHAT YALL WANNA DO? Nothing?!
POV: you have been Spotted
A perfectly rational response to an amazing goddamn movie.
Yes and also: Newsom’s campaign promise to me in particular is: “I promise to sacrifice your trans children in order to get elected. Vote for me!”
Ask yourself what the likelihood is that THIS GUY doesn't have something nasty enough in his past for a ruinous October surprise, or kompromat, or to undermine and delegitimize his presidency?
I heard a comedian talk about one of his first proper acting scenes being with Gere. It was a "walk and talk" and the comedian felt like Gere was not doing much, mumbling, he could hardly hear him w/out leaning in. When he watched the finished scene of course he saw that Gere was brilliant.

that’s why some of us are so annoying about the need to include links and not just screenshots. You people are being lied to.
Wonder if anyone at the Times feels they owe Claudine Gay an apology yet, no I’m not going to stop bringing this up
The Times has given subscribers hundreds of reasons to cancel over the past decade, but Claudine Gay was my personal breaking point
of all the blue-collar jobs he could have pretended he had!!
lol, was Cuomo a repo man?
right??
in case you’re wondering about the state of the male loneliness epidemic, every time a hot girl posts a selfie on twitter an armada of rageful gooners replies with shit like “face is a 4, probably aged out of fertility” legit what has HAPPENED, what is HAPPENING
also, nobody likes tow truck drivers. nobody.
Happy Birthday, Richard Gere.
There are technically better car chases than the Rome sequence in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE—DEAD RECKONING (PART ONE), but this is the only one about being handcuffed to Hayley Atwell while she’s wearing a white dress shirt
Found my kid's historical American Girl novel and sadly I have now died
Enraging and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm glad her parents thought to record the meeting. “I think your daughter could possibly be a promiscuous little slut and you don’t know about it, [...] I think you need to get a real handle on some of that.” www.oregonlive.com/pacific-nort...
Hell yeah! 1980s Hollywood studio excellence!
once I was talking to a well-heeled older gent at a bar and mentioned that someone put big money in the jukebox and everyone was doing a song or two. He went "oh boy!" and went over and used all the rest. He was proud to. Then he started telling me he liked Trump because immigrants take everything
What is it with CEO’s at public events? Tennis star Kamil Majchrzak was signing autographs yesterday when a man was caught stealing a hat from a child. He shared the video in hopes of identifying the boy & getting him a new hat. The man was quickly identified as Piotr Szczerek, CEO of Drogbruk

In Kochi City Station there’s a statue of Berobero No Kamisama, a nude, pink, spiral-eyed figure who is the local god for drunkards.

Not in my polling place in suburbia! One looming giant doofus wearing a too-tight shirt, tactical gear, body armor, and a face gaiter will stand out like a sore thumb, and shock a lot white people.
So will I but lots of normies are going to be intimidated! All he needs is to scare enough people in enough places, and make a few people w/out ID confused enough to stay home, to be successful.
What do you mean "ubiquitous practice"? Ubiquitous for who? It's a form of fraud.
This is why white collar crime needs to actually be enforced: it has been given a societal pass for far too long, leading ultimately to our hopelessly corrupt president. If you can afford multiple vacation homes, you can afford the taxes and full interest on them.
Who would be the funniest journalist to break the news?

A woman (60s?) spots another (30s?) wearing a perky red hat on the other side of the street and roars: "CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH! That's MY HAT!" Charlotte Elizabeth looks entirely unrepentant as cars drive between them: "You haven't worn it in thirty years Mum! I'm BORROWING it!" (4)
I see a little Maggie Gyllenhaal!
amazing
Dietrich always claimed that she was too young for silents and was a mere schoolgirl when she auditioned for THE BLUE ANGEL. She was actually a married mother who had already gained and retired from a screen career in the silent era. But in any case, Dietrich: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWr0...
And Paul Robeson's double role performance in BODY AND SOUL (1925) is remarkable. Charismatic, dangerous, sexy vs meek and shy. He ran the gamut.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Another day… #happywatchinghummingbirbs
Look at this doofus
As a fellow Virgo, I relate. There’s a line from Richard Thompson’s song THE GREAT VALERIO which I was convinced was written for a Virgo… “I'm your friend until you use me And then be sure I won't be there” Except he’s an Aires. Recently discovered his ex Linda, who sings the song, is the Virgo.
They’re radicalizing us all now.
He's too powerful

I promised I'd start working with visual art as a way to relax & stop my brain from overthinking when I have too much chronic pain. I am not very skilled but I picked up watercolor pens & bookmark making supplies &, my friends, I hope you know this is what you're all getting for Xmas, lol.
Used to do dumb cartoons habitually but now I mostly draw animals. Drew my cat and printed it on a plate as a Christmas gift.

My super transphobic mother is furious that they quit doing pronouns in work emails. “A lot of my colleagues are foreign and I don’t know the gender of their name. I work from home! I just don’t want to refer to someone incorrectly!” She’s so close to getting it.

folks,
I’ve seen JAWS many times in the theater, including IMAX. Like Soderbergh said, it may be the most movie a movie has ever been. I almost don’t want to see it this weekend because I don’t want to dilute it, but I’m starting to think that’s impossible. Every time I see JAWS, it knocks me on my ass.
wow 🐈⬛
fiona accepts your devotions
Okay then…
