Beyond matters of taste and decency and whether or not you even believe in the death penalty due to moral reasons, livestreaming the execution of Nidal Hasan is a dumb idea because you're giving him his moment of public martyrdom.

Ick didn’t offend me as a lefty, it offended me as someone who likes watching movies that aren’t complete ass.

Played the new Gears of War with a buddy last night. Feels good, looks PHENOMENAL. I didn’t think video games could look this good.

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

Earlier this evening it occurred to me there was nothing I’d rather do than watch Digger a second time, so I… did. It’s a really great movie. I don’t think it’s in the conversation for the year’s best, but it’s still really good and I strongly recommend it.

Iran, if you’re listening, there’s a lot of good people in LA. West Palm Beach, on the other hand…

It’s a brilliant and fucking brutal satire. People criticizing it are too far gone to realize how much they’re telling on themselves.

As opposed to the vanity of proclaiming you know everything you need to know about a movie you haven’t bothered to watch.

Mr. Bartokomous @mrbartokomous.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The more I think about this movie the more I love. It’s accessible, searing, funny, and people who feel attacked by it are telling on themselves.

This response to Mamdani’s fair and sensible remembrance of October 7th and everything since… is god damn unhinged.

I’ve been struggling with how to get across to federal Liberals that their continued presence on X is a real harm to the country… and I’ve got better access than most.

Carney wanting to give his art dealer a patronage appointment wouldn’t be so bad, if it wasn’t a ministry so critical to public safety as AI policy. @evansolomon.bsky.social would rather have deepfake porn made of high schoolers than confront one single solitary techbro.

Rape as a tool of political violence was the natural escalation point to allowing an adjudicated rapist to become President. I think I'll just start shrieking at the top of my lungs at anyone who tells me I'm overreacting from this point forward. No words, just the feral sound of unbridled rage.

The world seems to currently reward creation of management systems for all the things we've set in motion. This irritates me because there is wisdom in first choosing to set fewer things in motion.

It’s not the best of the year but it’s in that ballpark and I am sincerely mystified by the negative critical reaction. It’s as accessible as any Nolan flick and relentlessly entertaining. Ahmed is better than Giamatti in The Debut.

If Trump actually dislikes Collins he needs to prove it by campaigning for her

"I don't think President Trump is going to come to Maine," Collins says. "I've heard nothing from his office and I'm not exactly his favorite senator."

I asked the bartender to play Apollo 440’s Charlie’s Angels theme and it’s been nothing but late 90s/early 00s EDM movie soundtracks ever since. I regret nothing.

If someone thinks Paper Tiger lacks for thrills I can only assume they were asleep during the home invasion sequence and left before the final scenes with Driver on the road and in the field.

My only real beefs with the film are the inciting incident depends on one character being absurdly stupid, and Johansson’s work not clicking for me at all. Aside from that it’s damn near a masterpiece.

Teller is absurdly good in Paper Tiger. 70s Dustin Hoffman good.

So many of David Ellison’s decisions come back to “he loved Saving Private Ryan and all the video games it inspired” There’s a straight line from SPR to MOHAA (and subsequently Call of Duty, which was made when the MOHAA devs bailed on EA to start Infinity Ward).

If you can’t see this as a setup you deserve to get fleeced. If you don’t care about being fleeced on this… then you’re just making a bribe, which should be investigated and prosecuted accordingly.

I was making small talk at an all inclusive. Coverage of the LA fires was on the TV. I mentioned they looked pretty bad. She replied “I hope they all burn.” She walked it back when I mentioned that I had friends currently evacuated, but you could tell she was trying (poorly) to save face.

Right, but now he’s saying “let them” in response to the notion of Iran attacking those cities. How is that not interpreted as an invitation to attack? Like, you can’t keep the safer meaning when it’s directly contradicted by the words he’s saying now.

120

Mr. Bartokomous @mrbartokomous.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

What is the safer meaning? Are they suggesting Trump wants the Iranians to treat the millions of people living in those cities to a nice dinner?

I've got a pile of OG/360 Xbox games that aren't backwards compatible, and it'd be really nice to play them on my PC with higher resolution/frame rates. I'm not above a little tinkering to make that happen.

I think the odds of CNN swallowing CBS News is a lot more likely than the inverse, and that's probably a good thing, but it raises serious concerns about local news coverage (not that it hasn't been suffering for years under affiliate owners like Sinclair and Nexstar).

Didn’t care for the revenant, Birdman is more interesting than good to me. Digger is clever and relentlessly entertaining. It’s not among the year’s absolute best movies, but it’s in the 90th percentile or so.

To hear my dad tell it, I spent the back half of Jurassic Park white-knuckle gripping the armrests… so I think it’s gotta be that. This shot in particular.
