Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 29/09/2026This is going to get shared everywhere despite the fact that there’s nothing in the article to back up the headline at all; the only quote in the entire piece is an unnamed industry exec saying “everyone is wondering” how soon she’ll get fired. 1221

Most users of Threads notice an increase in poasting, which is normal. If poasting lasts for more than 4 hours, consult your doctor right away. 2214

Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026I’ve never heard of this movie and I wish now desperately to wipe it from my brain, but yes, absolutely 130
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026Sure! But doesn’t change the fact that “Stand By Me” has almost nothing to do with the movie itself 010
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026Is it in the soundtrack? I guess i need to rewatch this 100
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026That is the most accursed movie, I hate you for bringing it back to my consciousness 140
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026Ok but that’s at least a movie about Richie Valens, so the title makes sense 110
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026Wait there’s no Boomer song called that though, is there? 110
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026Yeah, Pump Up the Volume doesn’t count, but these are good (not explicitly Boomer nostalgia coded in the way the Motown and Beatles titles are, tho) 120

Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026Are there other examples of this? Movies where they changed the name of the script primarily because the producers got the right to some Boomer anthem that they could then use as a title song to milk some cheap nostalgia? Because I feel like this was kinda a *thing* in the 90s/early 90s. 22364

Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 28/09/2026We spend a lot of time criticizing politicians when they fuck up (which is correct!) but you also have to support them when they do the right thing or else they conclude you’re unreachable and stop listening to you 0364
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 27/09/2026Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players & electrical tin openers… Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. I chose Texas. 6363
Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 27/09/2026We never made it to the mini museum in the bookstore Ler Davager but it looked cool. Church of St. Vincent de Fora has incredible rooftop views and also inexplicably a neat natural history museum. Toca de Raposa had great cocktails for a city that otherwise rather struggles in this area. 050
