Our HOA has sent a letter asking this sign be taken down. The letter included a pic of the sign taken from across the street where the only legible thing was “WE BELIEVE”. It looks like I’ll be attending my first HOA meeting soon, as I have decided that this is the hill I die on

Pattinson talking about Mask of the Phantasm in interviews like the PR team told him to pander directly to the Patrick Willems demographic

so, she told me to tweet you. About what: excitement for you, advice for her, if you are taking pitches? All of the above? she was unclear. Instead, I've embarrassed us both and she'll never know. But I was told to tweet and thought you should know all the heartwarming. GL!

Hey @thumbelulu My co-writer is a Script Supervisor and an Asian Woman in her 30s and one of the smartest, most diligent people I've ever met. And she respects the hell out of you. Last month she was bemoaning that there weren't more production companies run by talented women.

[Joshua Bateman @JotaconB]

She singled you out, saying YOU needed to have a company. So, I just now told her the news about Local Time. Watching her face light up, excited for the future of Asian women and film and minority voices and hearing her gush was wonderful. She doesn't have Twitter...

@outlawvern An incredible movie that has aged incredibly well. I actually think love for it has gone up in the estimation of movie nerds over the past decade. So, it exists in the realm of either forgotten or beloved.

@DanFloydPlus I swore off MMOs in highschool after WoW did too much damage to me as a human being. But it's statements like this that make me REALLY want to play FFXIV!
Can't wait to see how Yoshi-P handles FFXVI

[Joshua Bateman @JotaconB]

Yo, how come I've never seen anyone talk about how moe Mary Pickford is? I mean, look at this Poor Little Rich Girl!

[Joshua Bateman @JotaconB]

@sjmtaelus It's one of my favourite kinds of stupid. At first it made me mad, as FF1 is my most played FF. But it being overly serious and bonkers and the pretty fun gameplay meant I too want to kill Chaos.
It took me a long time to realize I like that kind of thing UNironically.

@DavidHadfather This tracks with my fondness for Weird Al far too much.

@baddestmamajama This is THE thing I wish the internet would learn. I love disagreeing with people about a movie, it often shows me sides I'd never have thought. And sometimes I learn nothing, but just sharing is fun!
Like my take on Old. It's good! It's just not good to watch. Always a fun convo

The earliest known use of the word "gamer" was in the code of laws governing Walsall, England, dated ~1450. The document bans games including cards and backgammon, threatening prison for anyone housing a "gamer" on their property. Proof we have been persecuted since day one

I remain impressed that this one is from as early as June 2015 https://t.co/ejULiEi2NV
