Val Kilmer gets thrown in a pit full of snakes and goes crazy. Karl Urban and Steve Zahn as Call and Gus, Linda Cardellini and Elizabeth Banks are there too 👍 232
Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 7hLOL trying to do this for McMurtry is so fucking goofy! Like actually underscores how few people seemingly are that familiar with one of the great American writers. 140
Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 8hI also just dislike this stuff because I get accused of being a doomer all the time for merely suggesting "Things aren't easy and there's going to be struggle involved and hoping for a heroic narrative is how psychopathic Nazis get in anyway." 140

Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It's also like how do I put this diplomatically The church has official policies in regards to culture that are objectively conservative and sometimes legitimately reactionary and nobody is particularly good at dealing with those contradictions. 130

Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'll also add in the nicest way possible that this type of defensiveness is real fucking grating on me?

Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I prefer mixed martial arts to professional wrestling entirely because the element of camp, narrative, and spectacle means I'm not actually ever going to have a co-worker call me out going "Lauren knows all about human cockfighting" 130

Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 08/10/2026A lot of people really ultimately have the ideology of "society isn't perfectly calibrated right now but with a few small adjustments we can make it mostly optimal without having to drastically overhaul how I personally live." And I'm sadly the person who's going "LOL okay good luck with that" 1196
Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 07/10/2026As a general rule I never get particularly fussy or angry at celebrities either trying to present themselves as apolitical or being cagey about their personal politics. Not for like any deep moral reasons I just think it's weird and parasocial and my own politics are too radical anyway. 140

Lauren Ortega @laurenortega.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Ultimately the deal with me is that I just don't particularly like nationalism as an ideology and tend to think it mostly makes people fucking crazy. I think a lot of issues with Israel also comes strongly from the fact that they're latecomers to this and don't want to be loser coded. 170
