Will act (VO or for camera) write, or polish your script for money (and very occasionally not for money). I would do all of them for free just for the pure love of it if I didn't need to eat occasionally. But... yeah... food is nice. DM if you're interested.

@realsashastone Everyone seems to pick and choose which movies have deep themes based on whether they like the film or not.

There are two kinds of film fans. Those who find PTA's work deep and profound and those who do not. I am in the latter category.

@lectersbian Six Feet Under That show did a lot to make me stop being a little asshole about gay people.

do you guys remember your first exposure to Gay people as a concept

@pachabelcanon R. Scott Bakker

Science fiction authors who write good prose: Gregory Benford, Roger Zelzany, Cordwainer Smith, Theodore Sturgeon, Alfred Bester, Robert Silverberg, J. G. Ballard, Iain Banks, James Tiptree Jr, Dan Simmons, William Gibson, John Brunner, Samuel R. Delany, Kim Stanley Robinson...

@souljagoyteller Ir Hyperion. Or Ilium. Both by Dan Simmons.

Do I just start with Dune

@CindyontheBay May be a hint that TDS isn't what you thought at all. If you're smart anyway.

The people who are absolutely furious with Trump right now are not the TDS liberals. It’s those of us who believed his lies for a decade.

@petalreads Between Two Fires was just... fine.

be honest. what’s a book everyone loves but you didn’t?

RJ Barker's style is immensely compelling. I read the Tide Child trilogy over a weekend and now I'm fighting to read Age of Assassins slower because book two won't get here before Tuesday. Definitely read this guy's stuff.

@realtimsharp It became more interested in feeling right than being correct.

New MAGA is definitely a cult. OG MAGA wasn’t. What the hell happened?

@reenotfound The Darkness That Comes Before

I need a new book to consume my every thought

@luireigns The art, I appreciate. The artist can go fuck himself.

What he did is horrible. But some believe that you can still separate what he did from his in-ring career. How do you remember Chris Benoit? Do you watch his matches?

@TheChrisLambert So you just ignore the American ones that tell a complete story in a unique world like Preacher, Transmetropolitan, The Boys, Wanted, Sandman, etc. Only the ones with Batman count in this argument?

It’s because most manga tell an actual story, even if it unfolds over a long period of time. Most comics don’t. The stakes of any one story never matter. They just get retconned or the universe rebooted or some annoying thing. Watchmen won because it was an actual work of high literature told through the medium. Everything mattered and characters had actual consequences. As cool as The Killing Joke is, it doesn’t matter. As fun as the Spider-Verse was, it doesn’t matter. THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN…and then it doesn’t matter. With, manga, the storytelling experience is better, so there’s less consensus. Comics are like if every TV show was CSI or Law and Order. Then you had the lone exception of The Wire. Manga is like HBO. There’s a lot more to pick from.

@petalreads Treasure Island was my favorite movie as a kid. One day my middle school library did a sale, so I picked up Treasure Island for two dollars.

what got you into reading in the first place?

@catsen Sunshine

Just re-watched Interstellar. I have been reborn. Any other space movies even half as good as this?

@wcbuecker This is why Republicans have been gutting school funding since Reagan. They need ignorant voters. They have them.

I can say with great certainty that the people that are downplaying Trump’s purge of the military have never read a history book

@dynastytribal Oh look. There's Pat Patterson grabbing a male without permission.

Back when Wrestling was truly awesome

@John_Beckham14 The point is to just do whatever they want and then watch the system fail to deliver any consequences whatsoever. That's the entire driving force of this administration

Hegseth can't just fire those 12 U.S. Army Generals. He has to go through all the legal commands with probable cause as to why. He can't do this on a whim.

@MinModulation Will it make him feel like he doesn't have a microdick? That seems to be his most important guiding factor.

is hegseth stupid enough to do a ground invasion and then nuke iran in that order

@ItsJuliansRum And all while you were warned what Trump was about for over ten years.

“bUt ThEO vOn VoTeD fOr tHeSe pEoPle” Yea exactly that’s why he’s pissed. It’s why we’re all pissed. We thought we voted for America First but we got more of the same bullshit.

@uncletypewriter I've read like 20 books this year alone.

People are online arguing that it’s impossible to read a single book in a year. We’re so unbelievably finished.

@AuthorGFAllen Bakker almost did that to me.

Have you ever finished a book and thought, “Yeah… I’m NEVER reading anything by this person again.”
