I wonder how many people on Twitter and Instagram will suddenly not be posting? I wonder how many less likes Farage and Reform will be getting?

Darn it, Exorcist III is so darn good, and I think it was the last good Exorcist movie. I don't want to get my hopes up for a sequel inspired by it. I really don't. But maybe. . .

For a bit of "yes, and..." note how the author of the news piece spent a fraction of a sentence acknowledging the US's history of public executions before moving on to which other countries or groups are still doing it. I see two reasons why that sentence fragment could be there.

I've finally been able to dive into the #Curseborne #TTRPG core rulebook over vacation. While I have a lot of options on it, overall they can be summed up as "dang, this is really cool".

Did we cancel D-Day because of a little rough weather? No. Play the damn game.

100% this. Okay, 99.99% this. I don't know if I would call the original Halloween a "horror" movie or a "suspense" movie, and in my opinion that's part of its appeal. Wholeheartedly agree on the lighting and cinematography. And it has one of my favorite endings of any movie ever.

I'm confused, I've had a Gordon Lightfoot song stuck in my head and it's not "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Is... is that even legal?

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵
Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

Night Temple Priestess from Eldfall Chronicles. Not too shabby, had to improvise a shoulder pauldron to cover a bit where the plastic tried to recurve itself while the glue was not set and wrenched things weird. #minipainting #eldfall #nerdlings #demon

The fact that Dolly Parton died at 80 after a lifetime full of accomplishments, yet the public consensus I've seen since yesterday is that she's gone too soon, is the most perfect illustration of how universally beloved she is.

Wait a sec, wait a sec, wait a sec, I got it! AI image slop in advertisements or promotional materials is the new "I can still see the Shutterstock/Imager/Getty watermark", isn't it? (Or, alternatively, it's the new "of course you used Comic Sans".)

OTD in 1984, The Muppets Take Manhattan was released in theaters. Written and directed by Frank Oz, it would spawn one of the Jim Henson Company's most successful--and unexpected--spinoffs. It would also be the last Muppet film to be released in Jim Henson's lifetime. /1

So, that new #Supergirl movie... First, there are no mid-credits or end-of-credits stingers. When you see it, you can leave when the credits start to roll. Second, you'll notice I wrote "When you see it" and not "If". It's good. It's really good.

🧵 time! 1: #PrincessBride In 5 - 10 years, #HonorAmongThieves will be akin to #PrincessBride for the digital/streaming age IMHO. A wonderfully quotable fantasy movie, memorable characters, creative action beats, & gleefully lighthearted until it needs to make an emotional impact. (1 of 3)
