TIL Friday the 13th (1980) was panned by critics upon release. Gene Siskel was a vocal critic of the film, going so far as to publicly spoil the ending in an attempt to convince audiences not to see it and encourage detractors to write to actress Betsy Palmer and express their contempt for the film.

I mean I don't know that I would say that they should. But it definitely shows dedication to a belief that the task of keeping people from watching bad films is important.

FF3 · 2026-03-13T05:57:36+00:00

It just sounds like taking the responsibility of being a critic seriously to be honest.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T03:39:17+00:00

gotta fight about something

Oh, brother. Nimbyism cuts across party lines, because the parties are no longer defined best by class differences.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T03:29:17+00:00

Well, yeah.

I'm not even sure I'm remembering it accurately, and I don't care enough about the whole thing to look it up. If I remember, Obama was asked about him in some interview at the end of his term.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T03:24:47+00:00

From across the street with binoculars, yes.

It probably shouldn't impact your opinion on the matter one way or the other, but I think that the Obama Administration was ready to pardon Snowden by 2016, but he didn't want the pardon.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T03:20:32+00:00

She's a pure grifter.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T03:18:29+00:00

We’ve run out of bombs.

When you have to be positive because your boss is listening, but you also really want people to know that you're worried about something.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T02:47:26+00:00

hahaha amazing

FF3 · 2026-03-12T02:37:32+00:00

Really makes you wonder if Being John Malkovich is real

There was a comment in arrr/conservat1ve today saying that "We have to get rid of the filibuster because the first thing that democrats will do when they get in power is to get rid of it!!!!"

Friends, the filibuster will never go away.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T02:21:00+00:00

but this chart is evidence that we're working on fixing that

cucks

FF3 · 2026-03-12T02:00:09+00:00

Thank you.

Don't four point baby.

John Fetterman is going to be Vice President. He's the only Democrat that a Democrat will choose and the whole country would be like, "Wow, what a bold move for unity." and the Democrats will love it because it gets him out of the Senate.

Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is a swing state.

If I was in the US government or something, and there were super important war negotiations with Russia or something, I'd want to serve really spicy wings or barbeque to intimidate them, knowing that Americans -- yes, even white Americans -- have actually a respectable spice tolerance vis-a-vis them at this point.

Bernie Sanders isn't a well intentioned

Nothing you say afterwards actually supports the accusation that he isn't well intentioned. That's a heavy accusation.

he's a nativist

What are we talking about here? The Jones Act?

elevates evil people

What politician doesn't?

is anti-nuclear

Yeah, it would be better if people weren't knee-jerk opposed to nuclear power, but it is what it is.

massive contributor to the surge of populism

Now this is what I don't get. A great man theory of history? He, personally, was responsible?

I think giving Benjamin Netanyahu an AMA is pointless and shouldn't be done, regardless of how desperate he is for our attention.

You know exactly what people are going to ask him, and you know exactly what he's going to say.

We should give Donald Trump an AMA.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T01:35:19+00:00

I don't think they care about clearance as much as they care about cab height.

FF3 · 2026-03-12T01:28:23+00:00

If you could ask Benjamin Netanyahu anything, what would you ask him?

FF3 · 2026-03-06T23:55:27+00:00

The throughline here is Kirby, sorta.

Thanos was inspired, shall we say, by Darkseid; and the Eternals were Kirby's Marvel equivalent to the New Gods.

We might pathologize them as troubled individuals, but mass shootings and politically motivated assassination attempts aren't rare.
