You can do this but only if you work remote – at San Francisco, CA
I understand Carrie (2026) is not very good, that's not surprising to me. But I won't stand for Carrie (2013) revisionism. It was a bad remake too! It was widely panned! Most movies in the early 2010s were bad! – at Inwood, NY

Spent a few weeks earlier this year roaming a Hollywood almost entirely reoriented around the production of “microdramas,” which are kind of like soap operas except they’re short and completely demented and optimized for your phone. Started as one kind of sad story and ended as another, differently sad kind of story. You can read it now in @NYTmag nytimes.com/2026/10/06/magaz…
I was so surprised to hear someone say after THOC that the "bit" about the guy in the band and his recently deceased girlfriend went on too long. What bit! I was crying! – at Manhattan, NY

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
I really liked Obsession and think some critics overestimate the number of people who came away seeing Bear as the good guy. That said the visual language of the film does fix the viewer in Bear's perspective, and horror in general tends to linger on mutilated women's bodies. – at Brooklyn, NY
Some men are obsessed with a narrative that women turn normal sexual encounters into SA in their minds due to regret. In reality all trauma is only understood retrospectively. Something new and terrible happens to you and it affects your world before you have language for it – at Jersey City, NJ
Naming it is what allows the processing to actually occur. This is very basic stuff to anyone who doesn't spend their life shoving all uncomfortable feelings and experiences under the surface and being puppeteered by them forever – at Jersey City, NJ
They're going to use your pathological fear of cheating (as synecdoche for your broader fear of anything in the minds and behavior of other people) to institute universal surveillance
Have seen the trailer for this movie in theatres a few times and a major plot point is that a character is apparently motivated to make a service that can track anyone because of her cheating ex. Just noticing!

Was riding to my grandfather's funeral with my cousin and I know she likes country music so I brought up I hadn't ever heard this song and had her play it for me. We started talking and I noticed it had ended. Wondering if it's like mosquito sound and I literally can't hear it
Com 23 semanas no topo, Ella Langley supera “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, de Mariah Carey, e bate recorde de maior permanência em #1 na HISTÓRIA da Hot 100 com “Choosin’ Texas”.

Even if this were true, musicians in the 70s were basically as modern (or postmodern) as modern people, their music remains relatable and sometimes still surprises me how innovative and subversive it feels compared to even very recent music – at Arlington, VA
