Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 3hPan's Labyrinth is in theaters right now for the 20 year anniversary. Literally anyone could choose to see that instead of Digger. 010
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 11hYou're not fighting to get the center, you're fighting to animate the people who don't see the point of voting. We're trying to win against the couch on election day. The war we're waging is against *apathy* 100
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 11hI think what people respond to is genuine humanity. These robotic politicians who stand for nothing except what their donor wants or what the latest polls say are repellent to the average voter. Modern people crave authenticity from their leaders. They want to *trust* them. 110
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 22hMillerism has wormed its way deep into the American psyche for the last 2 centuries. It's part of our inherent national chauvanism, that we think we're going to usher in the end times here in America. That I'M going to be here for the end, the world ends with ME. 080
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026We only revel in the deaths of the wicked because it's the only justice we are permitted. I would much rather see every Health Care executive in prison than killed. 060
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026"But we are the *real* natives of this land! Our religion says so!" Gee, where have I heard that before? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_...en.wikipedia.orgJoseph Smith - Wikipedia 110
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026It's kind of a joke, it's an inversion of how these cult stories usually go. The ending is a punchline, the setup to the joke is "look at how bad this relationship is". 010
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026She's so fucking alone, DESPITE having this boyfriend and all these people in her life, that literally any real empathy or human connection is like a drug for her. Yeah, she's in a cult, but shit... hard to argue her life isn't going to be way fucking better now. 210
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026We're not persuading far right sickos to become socialists, we're persuading "normies" who legitimately have never heard of DSA OR Socialism to learn what the actual policy platforms are and counter the red scare propaganda. 3661
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Anyone have a link to this i can download? Wanna share with some non Blueskyers. 140
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Like, Aster's clearly got some female friends or family who have had some... terrible boyfriends. I'm kinda content to let him cook for now. He's definitely making *interesting* movies, if nothing else. 140
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Like, horror is supposed to have an edge to it. You're supposed to fearlessly confront some sick shit. A horror movie, by it's nature, CAN'T be inoffensive. 030
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Midsommar is SO GODDAMN FUNNY. You have to be the kind of sicko who can lose yourself in the logic of the movie, and "look at all these shitty men, I can't wait for them to die horribly and free Florence Pugh". Aster is a sicko who makes movies for sickos, and I think thats neat. 270
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'm like 50% this is where Hegseth got the idea. 000
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Gulag. Gulag for saying this shit. Send them to Alaska and make them work in a giant Amazon warehouse. 030
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026There's a reason Castro kicked these fuckers out. 000
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026"This time the monsters are REAL" seems like it was the tagline for all new Scooby-Doo media for like a solid decade. 100
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026All a fascist knows how to do is double down. You have to beat them into fucking oblivion to get rid of them. Knock them down and keep on hitting. Throw the fucking ring into Mt Doom and unmake them. 000
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026"Using power is gauche actually, it's totally tacky. The invisible hand or whatever" 130
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I mean, yeah. But there is a time in my life I would have been embarrassed to blare it out of my car stereo. Like, it's goofy af. 120
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Very curious how J6 would have gone if there had been counter-protesters. If it happens again, the left isn't staying home. The real question this time is what the police and the military do. A bunch of middle American middle aged chuds won't cut it this time. 210
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I always have a come to Jesus with these... like is it so bad it's good? Or if I'm having a great time isn't it just good? 210
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026"They would just get in a circle and keep feeding potions to each other" *Modern historians are puzzled by this statement in the Durai papers* 020
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Man, it's so fucking easy to have no principles. You can prop someone up when it's useful, and discard them just as easily. You can even pretend you never associated with him, who's going to check? Libs? 1110
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026"Durai claims that Ramza and his men would turn enemies into frogs and repeatedly throw rocks at them in a bizarre torture ritual... Historians to this day debate the veracity of these claims" 170
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ok... NOW we're reaching James Buchanan levels of treasonous behavior. 0130
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Damn. You did it. You're the guy I first heard this from. Rest in Piss. Oh! He also pretty much *is* Uncle Baby Billy from Gemstones, right? 110
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Vikings had a chance to do something epic and retire Farve's number the week before. If I owned a sports franchise that's the kinda petty shit I would do. 000
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026There's something to lady fascists in modern reactionary politics globally that fascinates me. This seems to be a global phenomenon. It's actually *weird* that Mexico has a lady lefty president. Most women who have risen into power in the west *have been* far right. 010
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Jon Stewert uses the ring to like, make a giant meat tederizer to turn Sinestro into ground beef, and Hal says "that ring is gave you is actually a plastic toy! The real Green Lantern was inside of you the whole time!" 240
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You could watch Kung-Fu Hustle in mandarin without subs and it would still be one of the funniest movies you've ever seen. 010
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Slightly off topic... But haven't they been talking about this bill for like 8 goddamn years now? How the hell has it not passed? Is the Senate really that committed to never passing any legislation that might actually be popular? 210

Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026"Alternative medicine" and conspiracy communities are really vulnerable to infiltration by fascists. There's, I think, a STRONG correlation between reactionary thought and superstition/magical thinking. 020
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Bill Paxton has some all time great lines... It really was a different time, when an R-Rated action movie was a bigger draw than PG-13. Cameron really has always lived in this place between PG-13 and R for me. 100
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's actually crazy the shot Palahniuk called on "redpill" Culture 20 years early. Also insane that "snowflake" was adopted unironically by the very people the book was satarizing... 0110
Matthew Orgel @punchgroin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026American Psycho flew enough under the radar to be appreciated i think. Fight Club became a cultural phenomenon that no one seemed to truly understand until gamergate. 1100
