My Handsome Man runs again. I don't have words for this. https://t.co/Af1sIqkZXI

[Blair Braverman @BlairBraverman]

We have a special teammate joining us for the Midnight Run and @CCSleddograce. This is handsome Baxter, who passed away last year and loved to run with his soulfriend, @firstelder22. He'll be riding on the sled with me and running with the team in spirit. Welcome, sweet boy.

@dzzo716 @mondayaddams_ Are you kidding? THAT OLD LADY COULD HAVE KILLED HER BY [checks notes] GESTICULATING IN HER DIRECTION!

"Obsession" is the umpteenth horror movie where the man dies at the end just for “living - and loving - while male.”

I finally watched it and, as I predicted, I didn't like it at all.

This is what I saw:

Nerdy beta guy ironically named “Bear,” longs to be loved by Nikki.

Nikki tells him she lost her crystal necklace, so he gallantly goes to buy her a new one.

Instead, he sees the "One Wish Willow" and buys it as a joke.

He meets up with friends and Nikki.

When it’s time to go home he offers Nikki a ride, she says yes.

They bond during the car ride.

At dropoff, she asks him if he likes her and because he’s a wuss, he doesn’t admit it.

Then, because he thinks the willow is a gag, he innocently wishes Nikki loved him more than anyone else in the world.

Nothing evil, nothing toxic, just a simple wish for love.

And because he did that, Nikki goes crazy.

When she starts loving him, the film frames Bear as the true monster who "stole her agency."

When they make love, it shot like he’s raping her.

He's depicted as the insecure, cowardly "nice guy" who couldn't handle rejection, so he cheated reality to get what he wanted, and then let the horror play out because it felt good to finally be loved.

And to break the spell, he has to kill himself at the end.

All because he made a wish he didn’t believe would actually come true.

This is Hollywood's most disgusting trick:

MAKE EVERY MALE CHARACTER A VILLAIN WHO NEEDS TO DIE.

Because the writer could’ve given us a story where the horror exists separate from the man’s actions.

He could have told a story where both survive and live happily ever after.

But because it’s modern-day Hollywood, we get this anti-male BS over and over again.

And needless to say, the film ends before THE WOMAN pays for her crimes.

And the saddest thing is:

Critics I respect don't even see this, and are cheering on the creation of more misandrist trash like this.

My rating: ZERO STARS.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

After Bear makes the wish, Nikki the actual person is gone and replaced with.... something else.

[Kat 🇯🇲 Morris @kattatatt]

I think you should rewatch the movie from the perspective of a woman being forced against her will to be in a sexual relationship with someone whom she did not reciprocate romantic feeling for——not a “mentally unstable woman” who is making her “partner’s” life hard.

⚠️spoiler alert: bear is very clearly the villain of this movie.⚠️

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

@Heliotrophy Oh look. Another insufferable fucking loser. Just stay home, close all the windows and the blinds, and read whatever fucking Bible you prefer.

Leave people with functional fucking brains alone.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

Well, first and foremost, whatever the fuck JARED LETO does with his time will have NOTHING AT FUCKING ALL to do with my film watching choices.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Masters of the Universe opens June 5 with a $170-200 million production budget and tracking that puts the opening weekend at $25-35 million.

The lead is Nicholas Galitzine, known primarily from gay romance films. The first trailer featured He-Man's desk nameplate displaying "He/Him" pronouns. Jared Leto has attended no press events, skipped the world premiere, and has posted nothing about the film to his 11.4 million Instagram followers.

Leto's contractually mandated promotional duties are not being fulfilled.

The franchise's core audience is men in their forties and fifties with real nostalgia for the 1982 cartoon and toy line. Whether the film reached them will be answered Thursday night.
What would bring you to see it?

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

The second paragraph here is 100% nonsensical.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

@blinkforhome care to explain why your Outdoor cameras don't have a flip video option? It is FAR more likely one would have to do that outdoors than in.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

"Ban all the childless adults from 'child places.'" is about as smart an argument as can be expected from the "My Sex Trophy makes me better than everyone" crowd.

By your idiotic "logic" a 26 YO couldn't attend their nephew's party at Chucky Cheese.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

In my experience, childless adults never bother anyone in those places. But folks on this site do love their false equivencies.

[Winston @detroitsux]

No childless adults at theme parks, carnivals, children’s movies, or in the toy section at stores (a persistent problem I’ve noticed, particularly in the Lego aisle) and we’ve got a deal.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

Absolutely NONE of this is considered"radical" by any rational human being, but the poster DEFINITELY wishes it was.

[Byl Holte @SirBylHolte]

THIS IS CONSIDERED RADICAL THINKING BY THE LEFT BUT:

I’m not gonna pay to see "Supergirl" because the trailers haven’t convinced me I’m gonna have a good time.

They aren't any FUN.

And the posters all just kinda have that defiant "screw the audience" energy we've come to expect from superhero studios.

And before you call me a sexist, I paid to see "Wonder Woman" in 2017 and had a great time.

Here’s the difference:

Wonder Woman was a POSITIVE female role model: strong, courageous, loving, hopeful.

Gunn’s Supergirl is a NEGATIVE one:

She wallows in her trauma, lives in darkness, and espouses every bitter, cynical value imaginable.

One makes you want to root for her.

The other makes you want to skip the movie.

And all the Supergirl advertising just reinforces that.

So count me out.

Hilariously, I do 97% of household chores in my home. Including all the cooking.

@ThatGoblinGuyXY Why? Most men are useless for childcare and household tasks, women already know they will do it all alone.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

AT FUCKING LAST AN ANSWER

[Bennie🕊️ @Bennieeexyz]

A couple of years ago I was about to propose to my girlfriend.

Ring in hand. Speech prepared. Everything ready.

My roommate Joseph burst through the door out of nowhere, tripped over absolutely nothing, and fell face first through a glass table.

Me: (ring still in hand)

Me: (staring at Joseph on the floor)

Me: (staring at the shattered table)

Me: (staring at my girlfriend)

Mood: gone.

Joseph got a large piece of glass in his eye. Was walking around with a cotton pad over it for two months. I put the proposal on hold and helped him through the whole thing because that's what you do.

Then one day Joseph was gone.

My girlfriend was also gone.

Together.

Apparently they bonded during his recovery. Eloped without leaving a single note. I tried to find them. Never could.

So if you've ever wondered why I'm not married right now.

It's because if it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe I'd have been married a long time ago.

Where did you come from.

Where did you go.

Where did you come from cotton eye Joe.

"The controversial statement immediately sparked fierce backlash online and ignited a nationwide debate across social media and television."

What the fuck are you even talking about? Terminally online people need to fucking touch grass.

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

Snoop Dogg has officially called for a major cultural shift in the United States, proposing that more national attention and funding be directed toward honoring military veterans and community heroes instead of expanding Pride Month celebrations. According to the legendary rapper, America should place greater focus on the people who sacrificed their lives, protected the nation, and quietly served their communities for decades.

The controversial statement immediately sparked fierce backlash online and ignited a nationwide debate across social media and television. But Snoop Dogg didn’t stop there. He followed up with an even more powerful message about patriotism, unity, and forgotten American values �� a statement so unexpected that it left millions of fans and critics completely stunned, pushing the media storm to an entirely new level.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

I actually think this is some quite literally EVERYONE can get behind, regardless of child-status, religious-affilitation, political party or any other wedge that could divide us.

But trust me, some absolute FUCKING DOUCHE on this site will find a way.

[Peter B @realpeteyb123]

If the kids are in the pool, I’m watching them, I don’t leave their sight for even a second to tell my wife anything.

Don’t care whose over, don’t care how much people think I’m weird, if they in water, I’m the human hawk.

My kids are the best swimmers you seen for their age, been swimming from 4 years old.

Don’t care, I’m still watching.

Also, you need to teach kids how to save each other if something happens.

I’ve even taught them to save adults if they collapse as well.

Do as I say, X.
I’m dad.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

As neither of these films have been released, this discourse is Galactically stupid.

[𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗢𝗳𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 ⏻ @Rebel0fReality]

Remember when I said that y’all use cinematography too much to gauge the quality of a whole movie, despite not really knowing how to judge whether something is good cinematography or not? This is what I meant. Spider-Man Brand New Day at its best has similar visuals to Supergirl but with a blue color grading over browns and reds.

If you want to play sides and go all in on Marvel, that’s perfectly fine. But you don’t look like you know what you’re talking about when you praise the way Spider-Man looks and then say Supergirl looks like a 6/10. Especially when Supergirl is technically better lit and composited.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

This take is so fucking hilariously stupid, and all it manages to do is illustrate the fact the poster has never worked in an office job.

[Z’s Turning 🍊 @Z4BTC_]

Young men HATE this video because we’ve been told for decades that women are outcompeting us in the workforce because they’re supposedly “smarter” and “better” than men.

“The future is female!”

If you pointed to DEI and a system designed to elevate women over men, you were called a misogynist.

This video proves everything men have been saying for years. These jobs are basically adult daycare for women.

You might as well give them coloring books, stickers, and nap time because they’re not doing shit all day.

Meanwhile, behind videos like this are men working real jobs and suffering while women do TikTok dances at their overly high paid office jobs.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

People. For the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD.

No one--ABSOLUTELY NO ONE--is "casted."

The word is "cast."

[Chum Tuah!🟢🇱🇧 @Torgan616]

> high schooler with no acting experience casted in a leading MCU role

> is fumbled by producers despite being the only one with her head screwed on

> treats Disney as a stepping stone to get into the industry she's long been a fan of as a writer

Insane bragging rights.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

All right. I concede.

There MAY be a Universe where that is the price of eggs.

[Jeffrey @firstelder22]

There is no Universe where a dozen eggs cost $1.68.

And apparently you can just WILL them to become hard-boiled without spending any time or energy on the task.

I am 100% for making one's lunch at home, as I do 99% of the time, but there's no need to outright lie about the cost

[Joel Berry @JoelWBerry]

A little-known hack:

2 slices of Aldi wheat bread: $0.17
3 oz of Aldi deli turkey: $0.86
1 slices Aldi cheddar: $0.15
1 condiment of your choice: $0.02
1 apple: $0.53
1 hard boiled egg: $0.14
5 carrot sticks: $0.17
Cold water from the tap: $0.01

Total: $2.05

You can do this.
