todd glass talking about how he hires drummers to play over recorded music at parties has stuck with me even over a decade later

i think we can talk about the benefits of reading forever but i think the most effective way to get adults to read is to call them stupid for not doing it

Look like Jack Nicholson or 80% of the audience at a Dave Matthews Band concert, the choice is yours

[Brian Duffield @BrianDuffield]

INCREDIBLE directing.

[Michael A. Benton @Michael_Benton_]

democrats just can't catch a W, man.
"the people want a rough-hewn populist!"
"okay, fine, Platner it is"
*Platner credibly accused of sexual assault*
"the people KNOW YOUR DIRTY TRICKS, EVIL DEMS/AIPAC!"

we live in fucking hell

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Congratulations to national media on politically assassinating Graham Platner. If he drops out and Democratic Party tries to give us two candidates who are both for Israel and corporate pacs, they'll face a revolt like they've never seen. Days of bullshit false choices are over.

[Michael A. Benton @Michael_Benton_]

I'm not fully against this argumentation usually but c'mon, man. (also: I *am* fully against anything Matt Taibbi says since becoming a lil Elon slave-bitch)

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

Not a Platner fan at all, but the time from published accusation to universal calls for dismissal/withdrawal has shrunk to almost nothing. Nobody will remember due process, soon

[Michael A. Benton @Michael_Benton_]

a prime example of the problem with pundits: they can't really admit they got a thing wrong without making it a "I was not wrong-WRONG, just adjacent-to-wrong-wrong, which - if you think about it - kinda makes me right ackshullyyyyy?"

"I'm wrong" = "I lose subscribers"

Let me know if my Graham Platner apology is debasing and self-flagellating enough 👇https://t.co/VlN6iulpls

James Cameron announces that ‘TERMINATOR 2’ will return to theaters on August 28.

“I believe it’s safe to do spoilers after 35 years, so SPOILER ALERT:  the good guys win against the AI superintelligence! Maybe that’s a message of hope we all could use this summer.”

[Ali B @wtflanksteak]

My dad basically only listened to soul and jazz music most of his life. one random day, he read an article about the 50 best rock albums and just started buying them and listening to them. he'd be playing black sabbath doing a jigsaw puzzle. stay curious, weirdos.

[laurinha 🦠 @ecto_fun]

fulci was insane. went from a comedy abt a cat to a heist movie, couple giallos, a sex comedy, one of the best giallos in history (duckling) directly into an adventure movie abt a dog, then a spaghetti western, then zombie movie where one fights a shark THEN gates of hell trilogy

[Michael A. Benton @Michael_Benton_]

@ecto_fun I remember a bonus documentary on the zombie blu-ray (maybe the beyond?) where the crew came up with a phrase for what kind of fulci they were getting each day: pipe up or pipe down. if fulci's tobacco pipe was up, regular crazy. pipe down: pure madness.
