Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 20hSo apparently Mike Flanagan’s interminable “Carrie” reboot is just a back door pilot for a 70’s style misunderstood monster on the run show? 100
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 21hWe need to put out to pasture all the consultants who still cite Edmund Muskie crying in anger once 50 years ago as a reason why Democrats need to look stern and mouth mush for eternity. 010
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Meanwhile in a DNC conference room someone is bleating “price of eggs, commonsense, across the aisle” into a disconnected earpiece and I love that for them. 010
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I finally had the house odor where I wanted it (fresh air with a light chlorine crossed with eucalyptus, like I had a pool grotto nearby) when wet wool on wheels comes back with a special bonus aroma. 010

Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My first thought went to my TikTok feed, where people with chronic non-diagnoses (who genuinely have symptoms, I believe them) will now attribute everything to “delayed onset MMR Vaccine Syndrome.” 000
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I wonder if it’s painful for Vance, a guy who had to really strive to get his smarts recognized and rewarded, to have to play dim bulb in press conferences. This is try hard hell and I hope it stings. 000
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 08/10/2026There has been a grand expansion in celebrations of usual life events of late. A wedding is now preceded by a proposal to-do, engagement party, shower, bachelorette weekend, etc. Don’t get me started with births. Anyway, it would be easier on everyone if we just went back to Saint’s Feast Days. 010
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I have replaced any ED voices with a snappy chorus singing “My bones are brimming with calciummmm…” You get older I promise you it’s about strength, you’re all “look at my meaty calves, jealous?” My thought is you can drink the beer as long as you can lift the keg. 010

Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Although you might still get me if you pulled out a tambourine and started chanting about extended warranty protections. That was the best part and they didn’t even port it over in service to capitalism! 000
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 06/10/2026But those of us who grew up with it, those of us who came of age in a house that had multiple copies of the Bhagavad Gita because Mom kept getting cornered at the Alpha Beta by the Krishnas, our step gets extra lively when we hear these supposedly bulletproof sales techniques deployed. 100
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Those glazed-eyed acolytes of various paths to Heaven are gone now. But the ways they interacted are now patented sales techniques. Every trades person, every software impresario, either has conducted or is currently enrolled in a ten thousand dollar program to learn these ways. 100
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 06/10/2026One thing great about growing up in 70’s California is you were dodging cult members daily, at the supermarket, the mall, the park, the airport. Just slip sliding past some guru’s foot soldiers, brushing away pamphlets and entreaties for just one moment of your time. 100

Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I wonder how much of that is influenced by the very dated piano accompaniment so many have? It may be correct for the period, but is it necessary? So many of us associate that jangling sound with parody that it can’t help but influence perception of the visuals. 221

Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There was a murder-suicide just up the hill from me this morning and the public comments are fixated on it having an Oakland address (even maps are inconsistent on this, the border is goofy). Oh sure, once there’s a homicide it’s the Oakland Hills, how convenient for your stats, Lord Berkeley. 000

Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 29/09/2026As a law firm fact weasel I had occasion to burst into my boss’s office with potential gotchas, but my bosses were good lawyers and I had to drill down until that shit was bulletproof before they confronted a witness with it. Sen. Schmitt’s not good at law. He’s certainly terrible at PR. 110
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Because of the little colored circles graphic on the event notice I thought at first you were hosting Commie Twister and thought “that’s bold.” Maybe for a follow up meeting. 111
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 27/09/2026In the 90’s, when I was an analog edge lord butthole, I proclaimed that I couldn’t stand country music. This was rightly taken as a provocation and an opportunity to educate me by my Arkansan and Texan coworkers. This? It’s just fallout from targeted marketing, no greater “class in America” meaning. 010
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I spent 127 years in Seattle listening to the godforsaken Blue Angels popping air wheelies. Of course I knew instantly from the first distant vroom that there is gonna be a flyover before this afternoon’s 49ers game. <preens> 0100

Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Pop culture writers get sore when the machine, which is their Mother, appears to be ineffective! That said, I am aware of the song because I enjoy TikToks of tween softball players relaying their walk-out songs and some of those cuties love this dreary dirge, good job, machine. 110
Christina Filios @cfilios.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The pop machine appears to be in full affect, with Youtube comments repetitively astroturfed with “I don’t like country but I love this” or “she’s authentic,” and Jack Daniels product placement, even in the lyrics. Doesn’t mean she’s not talented (early Gaga was hard marketed) but it’s noticeable. 100
