"Adult Human Female" has never been the definition of a woman - despite what anti-feminists like J. K. Rowling and Donald Trump might claim. So why have TERFs decided to change the dictionary definition of woman? 🤔📖 youtu.be/UshXbhOuIL8

My favorite fun fact about that movie is that Kevin Bacon had a strict no frontal nudity clause in his contract, but told McNaughton that he could use whatever take worked best.

Ted Danson and D'Arcy Carden in the television show The Good Place, playing the characters Michael and Janet, respectively. They are in a room with a large clown painted on the back wall. Michael is saying to Janet, "Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts."

People can say whatever they want about Cage's talent, but nobody can deny that he cares about the craft of filmmaking and acting.

If you could use a pick-me-up, check out the Smithsonian’s live cheetah cub cam. The five-day old cubs are beyond adorable, and an important addition to the captive breeding program for this vulnerable species.

I'm sure he's right. Most presidents have sought to avoid being seen standing next to people arrested for rape and who have admitted to spousal abuse.

I've had dogs all my life, and two of them have managed to catch squirrels. The first one that succeeded hated it, it was too fluffy, and he immediately spat it out. The current dog... well, the squirrels learned to stay off the lawn until she got older and slower.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I wouldn't have watched it if I had realised it was a Besson film (I try to avoid supporting people credibly accused of sex crimes), but I was looking for a movie to nap through and yet another Dracula adaptation was a perfect choice. My nap was much better than what I saw of the movie.

John T @jrtonca.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
So vampires themselves don't have magic then, other than the immortality thing, right? Nope! Dracula can totally control fires. Do they die in sunlight? Only in direct sunlight, except for when they don't. Dracula can go out in the sun no problem, and Maria is fine with a parasol.

Dracula (2026) makes some very strange choices. It's Luc Besson, so that's to be expected, but even for him. MINOR SPOILERS How does vampire charm work? Magic perfume. How does he keep his castle clean for 400 years? Living gargoyles, that are actually transformed children.

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.
The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard. 

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted 

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

"I actually don't ever use pepper (or salt)..." Ma'am. I think we just figured out why you think home cooking is basically dog food. It's because the food you cook is less seasoned than dog food.
