I know it’s cliched but…physical activity (not necessarily exercise). I try to work up a sweat one way or another six days a week. It’s not fixed all my problems but it definitely helps with keeping my shit together overall.

Zohran has really impressed me across the board. It’s wild he’s only 33.

if you’re telling me 5 million Americans went outside at the same time and only one of them got shot and killed that’s basically miraculous

not amerikkkan but appreciate the spice level

Sew your mouth, eyes and ears shut (maybe not in that order)

better late than never! worth a shot.

I thought this instrumental funk album I put on was neat, dismayed to learn it’s actually bourgeois decadence.

Great movies (the third one is maybe a slight step down but still pretty good in my book), what’s neatest to me about these movies is that Linklater, Delpy and Hawke developed and scripted them as a team, with the actors getting pretty much free reign to develop the characters and figure out how they’d evolve individually and as a pair across the series. Pretty different from either the “writer/director/auteur dictates” model or the “moviemaking by committee” approach that together make up the vast majority of movies.

local witch covens please be more specific in your efforts to bring about a “Vance assassination”

I don’t think I even like the initial premise that it’s art’s job to be “materially useful”

This is my least favorite recurring Hexbear take tbh. Not all things dubbed “satire” are the same and didacticism is not the only way.

I enjoyed it but can’t imagine revisiting.

an aside: The Disaster Artist, the movie about its making, is notable just for the strange form of envy James Franco projects as a Hollywood insider wishing he could make outsider art / be an outsider like Wiseau. (otherwise not worth watching)

cool score. obnoxious movie, though I have a soft spot for aronofsky just for how all-in his movies are even when they’re not exactly…good. (new “goofy” one w austin butler looks horrible though)

It’s tough being the only one with every single correct take possible

mods!!!

not saying they’re inedible, they’re just inferior to the others

correct

Green is the worst bell pepper

As soon as I saw “shot by neighbour” I figured it would be bad but I had no clue how bad.

It was a hate crime. Statement from his husband, CW for gun violence, homophobia and violence against animals:

"My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.
