Serioulsy, this is what that piece of shit posted last year.
screenshot of a text from milo posted on 7/13/25 that reads what is the etiquette if you are going about your business and find yourself observing an ICE raid? I want to show a little respect and decency. are you allowed to masturbate where you stand, in the street, or should you find some kind of awning or motor vehicle?

Question I need help on; How do you identify old fonts? I'm trying to find what the original Colt 45 font was but having no luck with my usual sources.

Aliens was released 40 years ago today and I can't overestimate what this movie means to me. I wouldn't be in this business without it. To me, it's the perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its quotability. (yes, I've seen the director's cut. I prefer the theatrical release)

These takes are spot-on
screenshot of two skeets. the top from edithcharles dot bsky dot social that reads the most impressive bullshit of our time is the topsy turvy way reactionaries have managed to rebrand their utter moral void into "you have to suck it up and be a bad person like an adult" the bottom reply reads quote i grew up to be horrible, which must mean being horrible is identical to growing up end quote

I went home with two kittens that day. The Siamese mix and a bonus black and white. One more than I’d bargained for but you know what? It was the best bait and switch of my life. That’s how I came to rescue Riker and Ro and my life is so much better w/them in it. Happy Gotcha Day 🥳😸

The great thing about #TalesFromTheCrypt is that so many established actors did guest turns, back in a time when most movie stars would rather be caught dead than on tv. And it also gave actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger (and later Tom Cruise) a chance to direct. @shudder.com
