Today I saw someone argue OBSESSION is a dark comedy and I want to know what the fuck movie is that they saw instead of OBSESSION, which is a horrifying mind control tragedy with an ending that will haunt me for a while.

There are many reasons the state should not kill people. The fact that they can so horrifyingly fuck it up does not even top the list. But if that's enough to set people against it, then I guess let's make this the biggest fucking news story of the hour. This should never have happened.

Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?

Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

@kvanaren.bsky.social HOW did I not know you did an oral history of KINGS? I loved that show in all of its weirdness. Also I ran across Sebastian Stan in Rachel Getting Married recently; he’s first in the end credits because it’s by order of appearance.

If you can’t use alt text for your screenshot of how racist X the everything app has become because it contains slurs that would get you suspended, maybe you don’t need to share the screenshot at all. Maybe you don’t need to keep looking at X, or posting content from it.

Maybe not perfect but for my first time doing some edging I think that stone circle looks pretty good. I’m to let the mortar properly set and Christinacan plant some bulbs and we can plant some annuals.

There's a brief 60s X-Men plot where Jean leaves the team for college and has a normal guy boyfriend. He gets sorta forgotten about but I like to think years later Dark Phoenix is hovering over NY screaming that she is fire and life incarnate and he's like "oh that's crazy, I used to date that girl"

OK. I know until the ‘90s expansion of the playoffs, there was a little pool of teams making the playoffs. But somehow this is only the 4th time the Sox and Cubs have made the playoffs in the same season.
