An important corollary to the Surf Dracula tweet that I think should be talked about more, now that we're basically inundated with these types of shows, is that most of them don't get renewed, but even the ones that are don't turn into the weekly adventures of Surf Dracula in the second season.
Screenshot of a tweet from user @topherfluence: "back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get ot see him surf for 5 min in the finale"

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

There's men that went to college, became professors, and wrote incredibly inaccurate shit and no one ever calls them out on it, but for some reason people are picking AH's story to death because her version of fictional academic life doesn't match theirs.

The person who wrote the post is a woman too !! We're not imune to our own bias !! But no one ever says men don't know history when they write fantasy based on concepts of the middle ages that aren't historically correct bc its just how tropes work Hell, men can write women bobbling down the stairs

What's with all this insane nitpickyness over Ali Hazelwood's STEM writing? Y'all act like she's fucking Michael Crichton out here. Lighten up. And I thought I was a pedant when it came to birds in novels. Sheesh. The Love Hypothesis was a fun romp of a book, and that's fine.

This isn't my point on my original thread but since I'm here I'm also REALLY annoyed about how Ali Hazelwood and her romance novels are refered to as "het slop" not just form the sexism but bc both ali and her protagonists are in the aroace spectrum!! Thats queer man!!

I would venture a guess that it mentions evolution. Many Fundies complain about children's animal books "indoctrinate" their kids by mentioning evolution.

Pretty much, any culture that developed agriculture, and then the concept of property and hoarding wealth, starts patriarchy. The concept of marriage itself is not universal among cultures, but it is universal to cultures with a concept of property.

I'm stuck on this. When Sequel discourse happens, at the very least it's being held by people who watch the shit. They may not have seen it correctly or in awhile, but still. I see people make up shit about Skeleton Crew and I ask "Did you watch it?" and their answer is "I don't have to." Son...

How many men knew about these groups and said nothing? Where are all you supposed male protectors? Silent, because men aren’t protectors. They’re just territorial.

This is why men can't be surprised when women don't trust men. Yes, most men don't rape. But we've seen too many times that men will hear a guy share a horrid rape story, think "wow that's awful" and proceed to do absolutely nothing with the information.

Good job, California. 15 states to go. No child should marry. A child who marries isn’t emancipated, her (and it’s usually a girl) new spouse becomes her guardian. If he abuses her, she cannot go to a domestic violence shelter. She cannot initiate a divorce. She can’t have her own money.

California bans child marriage, even with parental permission
Supporters hail ban on child marriage and companion bill to address forced marriages as “most comprehensive framework” in the U.S.

It’s also just so dumb (in addition to insensitive) to relate TLH to real sexual assault in academic institutions because I *guarantee* the rapists and the rape apologists are not and would not touch that kind of rom-com with a 10 foot pole; it is not any sort of factor in rape culture

when midnight gospel came out I was kind of surprised that nobody seemed to realize half the people being interviewed and duncan trussell himself are kind of new age weirdos. I guess people were understandably distracted by the animation

Did you see the Trussell video going around today? It's definitely the sort of New Age to techno-utopia/proto fascist turn one can expect of this type. What you said of Midnight Gospel was my first thought as well.

Mori Mole 🍂 @morimole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Also: if you want two good films that critique the New Age Movement's descent into the 80s culture of hyperindividualism and desire for power, check out Haynes' film Safe (brilliant film), and Cosmatos film Beyond the Black Rainbow. The latter is more of a tone piece but the critique is there.

Todd Haynes and Panos Cosmatos were always right about this very specific genre of hippie/Leary/wannabephilosopher and their inevitable trajectory.

As Gen X, I didn't have cable (I lived in the country) for MTV, but almost everyone had at least one FM station that played Casey Kasem on the weekends. And of course AB, ST, and my fave: Solid Gold. But after Kasem was gone, top 40 didn't exist for me.

FWIW, I've seen exactly one trailer for this and I could not make heads or tails of what I was looking at or what this was supposed to be. We really do need another Don LaFontaine sometimes, because people need a fucking premise, a notion, of what a film is supposed to be.

I think about this often. Whole families have relatives that just moved and never wrote, and no one thought it was peculiar, just a fact of life. My mother left home when she was 18 and never looked back, the world has long been full of these stories because abuse has always existed.

I think these people are kind of paranoid, tbh. They think their world is everyone's world, they've become unconsciously solipsistic and are crashing out. This leads to the conspiratorial belief everyone is lying.

There's a reason coworkers will be completely in the dark about a film you've seen ads for months, while you stare blankly when they reference a movie called Tenet. Unless you're someone that reads movie or music magazines, you only know about various releases through algorithms.
