@tommcginley@daniel_lefferts Odd and funny to me that your reaction to reading a work of fiction is to try and moralize at the author, assuming the work is real. Sit with your discomfort and ask what it tells you about yourself.
I have a short story in the Yale Review! It’s got everything: evil gays, Florida, credit card points, bloodshed. Thank you to Clare Sestanovich for the excellent edits. Enjoy 🔪 yalereview.org/article/daniel…
GRANDMA TRYING TO TRAP ME IN A TRANSPHOBIC ARGUMENT: your hair has gotten so long grandson. do they comment on it at your job :)
ME SCROLLING PILL IDENTIFIER TO SEE IF I NEED TO NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE NEXT 20 MINUTES: sometiunes
@swimpedia I wish people would give this a chance, this animator used to make short videos on YouTube and they genuinely are some of the most charming and life affirming bits of art you could stumble across scrolling yt shorts at 1 am. The scooby doo smoking weed one actually made me cry.
@ronmortgageguy I wish it wasn't the case but @1800ghostman is telling the truth. No money in the bank. They asked if I would be agreeable to taking a big wad of napkins(??) instead. Troubling.
So Many Fuckwits, So Much Clickbait
Tangerine which is fully owned division of Scotia Bank is emphatically NOT out of money
In fact they are looking to increase the number of mortgages they originate
But Dipshit Mitch thinks this fuckery will grab some clicks
@LegoKingo@EpicMasterChief Also worth considering that this was an old script (pre-Hereditary) that he shopped unsuccessfully before returning to and revising during Covid. I think some of why parts feel tacked on is because they were!
@EpicMasterChief Like a lot of recent political art it has an extraordinarily hard time imagining what young people are like these days lol. Aster is clearly trying to correct away from “the kids are going to save us” type rhetoric but he doesn’t have anything compelling to say in its place
Eddington ignores Trump to support the film’s attempt to make us sympathize with Joe Cross before the rug pull in the second act. It speaks to a wider problem in the film, which is its clumsy construction; a lot of stuff happens so that Aster can enforce his schema on the drama
Mark Carney has made his choice clear—reward terror with statehood. If he dares push for Canadian recognition of a Palestinian state in the aftermath of October 7, then Israel has every right—morally and strategically—to annex all of Gaza. You don’t negotiate with those who celebrated the massacre of civilians. You confront it with unshakable resolve.
@alex_orlov_ "a giant is coming and the giant is going to kill you. A giant? asked the rancher. You heard me right, motherfucker, said Haas. A giant. A big man, very big, and he’s going to kill you and everybody else"
@alex_orlov_ Thanks for sharing. The thought of him going to Santa Teresa felt foreboding to me for some reason. Maybe because Klaus keeps having these prophetic dreams about a giant arriving
@Sal_Robins Sounds like you’re spending your time fuming about someone having fun and enjoying life.
I love being in nature and chilling in the world, and I’m glad this person does too. Spend some time in the sun, worry less about others.
I’ve been living the 🇨🇦 dream since 2021.
In a generation, my family went from refugees to their son serving in Parliament & giving back to the nation that gave us everything.
But I don’t think I can be the best MP I want to be & Canadians deserve and be a great dad & husband.
@Srirachachau Still remember that wave of uncertainty washing over me. Knowing now that this is the last of Lynch’s film-work, it hums with this distilled energy and dread that feels as urgent as anything he’s done. I feel deeply lucky that we got to experience this.
Another Return spoiler…distinctly remember the split second at first when I thought something was wrong with my TV and then quickly being overcome by the dread of realizing this was very intentional
@GGladi8or@pinkkatydid@Srirachachau But a spoiler implies something has been spoiled. Are you able to even begin to articulate what has been spoiled for you by seeing this frame?
