@shutupglenclose @RichardJuice Love TZ but there wasn’t a drip of subtext in that whole show, everything is very direct and pointed. Peele’s approach is similar but still not as over the top.

@RichardJuice Most importantly, they don’t have his talent for fiction writing and storytelling. A big reason why the reboots fail is that they prioritize the subtext over the text.
English
The problem with doing a reboot of The Twilight Zone is that no one right now has Rod Serling's intellectual or moral rigor.
English
@arvalis @justinboldaji Dems are the minority party in both chambers of congress; republicans control the SC and the executive. The American people decided they wanted republicans in charge of everything so that’s what they’re getting, for better or worse.
English
@justinboldaji Man I need a new party to replace the dems before ‘28, I can’t go through this weak shit for the rest of my life

“We tried our best to avert nuclear war but he hit his hammer on the thing”

JUST NOW: House Democrats were set to try to pass a resolution to halt Trump's war with Iran — but the Republican presiding over the session, Chris Smith of New Jersey, gaveled out without calling on Rep. Glenn Ivey, who going to introduce the resolution. Democrats howled in protest, with some shouting "Shame!"

@ringwardnation @esjesjesj It sure makes my water/electric bills thinner

@esjesjesj If you think this makes graphic designers more safe and important I have a bridge to sell you

I’m hearing that the plan all along was to keep the Democrats out of power, and then, once they’re out of power, to tell them to Do Something

@HTTP_Lovecraft @CantEverDie Please explain what you mean by “subtitles are woke”
English
@CantEverDie I put a fake credit card to trial DW so I could watch it. Jarring time skips, forward and back. Subtitles are woke, they mumble with fake accents, bad sound mixing, so you only guess what's happening. Merlin's dad gets shot with an arrow, and no one even tries to find who did it.

the daily wire really released their ‘the pendragon cycle’ series that cost tens of millions of dollars 2 months ago and not a single person even noticed lmfao

It's an undeniable fact that 1) Rowling uses her wealth to fund the anti-trans movement, and 2) She considers the success of the Harry Potter franchise as proof she is personally supported by the public. So like, watch the children's show if you want, but don't claim ignorance.

@coopercooperco Has a patella realignment surgery in 2016, laid up in bed for weeks. Witcher 3 on painkillers was divine intervention
English
On one hand, I’ve seen that the treatment can be pretty tough on the body and would require me to take medical leave and maybe lose my ability to talk, eat, etc for awhile. On the other, maybe I’ll have enough time to finally finish RDR2. Could be huge for me.
English
signing in to the first appointment with my cancer surgeon a whole week early so I can spend my Monday morning going “wait do I *have* headaches or just get them. How long has this been for?” as I stare at the questionnaire
English
@coopercooperco My friend’s mom would casually interject “I’m just ready for the Rapture” into conversation, practically every uncle I had thought Obama was the literal Antichrist, and I was always worried the world would end before I had my first kiss 🤷♂️ pretty common American upbringing!
English
Seeing people react to the “many people believe Trump and Iran is the key to Jesus’s return to earth and that’s why this doesn’t bother them” posts is reminding me of how Not Normal my Jesus Camp (2006)-ass upbringing was.
English
@PMCRoffleCopter @kobedryman @polypocketknife @1followernodad Exactly, people will whine about the prices but rarely make pronouncements about their personal financial situation. “These coffee prices suck” and “I’m having panic attacks because I can barely pay my mortgage” are not the same thing
English
@NatReiher @kobedryman @polypocketknife @1followernodad Working at a grocery store, I hear people complaining about the prices all the time.
Especially coffee.
English
I don’t say this in a hopeful way at all (bc I think that shit is tacky & dismissive), but I think there’s an ongoing failure by institutions to realize that—as James Baldwin and many others have said—taking this much from average people is going to make them very dangerous.

This is part that an election might not fix.

@SonnyBunch I’ve tried to start Black House so many but those first few chapters are so radically different from Talisman, it always throws me off
English
Oh shit! Looks like a straight up Dark Tower sequel. (Talisman/Black House both kind of played in this world but this looks like it’s pretty direct.)
Bloody Disgusting@BDisgusting
OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE, the final entry in the TALISMAN trilogy from Stephen King and Peter Straub, will be published October 6. King penned the 624-page horror fantasy novel based on a concept by Straub, who passed away in 2022.

I’m not a HP / JKR defender at all, but Hermione getting roasted and labeled a busybody for pursuing positive societal change is super accurate IMO
aj@adfreebrowsing
- hermione ridiculed for trying to free slaves - goblins run the bank - asian character named “cho chang”, black character named “kingsley shacklebolt” - untrustworthy woman described as having “mannish hands” and a “square jaw” that’s just from memory

@ianbremmer It’ll still be making money 100 years after we’re all gone. She’s First Lady. It’s a film. Good for her.
English
$75 million is a lot for bezos to pay for a film that has zero chance of making money.
seems possible there’s another motive.

@crawlings13 @terrasanctacath Counterpoint:, we are now trapped in a hell-world where we bounce between parties every four years. There will always be a crisis, whether it be real or imaginary, requiring an immediate change. We’ll flail, directionless, much to the delight of China/Russia.
English
@terrasanctacath Oh it'll be more than 8 years. Hard to imagine Republicans getting power back for at least a decade unless Democrats completely fumble the ball (which they tend to do so who knows)
English
Bro thinks he has lost the midterms. And he's wrong, by the way. Republicans already lost the midterms months ago. It's already over. What he has really lost, though it'll take a few years to realize it, is America. This is a seismic moment.
Erick Erickson@EWErickson
We are watching the Trump Administration lose normies in real time tonight. The midterms are coming.
