On the latest episode of @hyperfixedpod -- Sanderson received an email from a friend congratulating him for restarting his long dorman podcast. There is only one problem. He hadn't. Someone had stolen his feed, cloned his voice with AI, and taken over.

Several of our listeners on @hyperfixedpod wanted to know: why does every microwave have a Popcorn button and every bag of popcorn tell you NOT to use it? Well we have the definitive answer. And the story is surprisingly deep. Listen to “a button is a promise” on @hyperfixedpod!!

Is there a term in the movie industry for movies that are shot on decent equipment but still feel flat and weird like a lifetime movie because they are shot so poorly? Cuz if no, I have to come up with one. I think maybe it should be called Nouveau-Cheap

Don’t get me wrong I’m glad Tommy Robinson is being punished for intimidating journalists. But how am I supposed to take seriously a county where you can accuse someone of being a “bully boy” in a court of law

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s."
Incredible reporting here from @awinston

OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently?
I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire.
They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos.
I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

Every time someone refers to Alex G in any way, just know they are probably talking about me and not some other fella. Unless it’s critical, and then it’s the musician
also if alex g never put out Trick and changed the way guitar indie rock sounded forever, i can guarantee you phoebe bridger’s music would sound a whole lot different so put some fucking respect on your elders…..

Let’s be adults. Of course the centrists want progressive Democrats to lose.
I am sad to hear about your friend being detained by ICE as they are notoriously vicious, dangerous, jackbooted thugs. But let’s not pretend this isn’t the country you wanted. Just look at the audience you’ve cultivated. Why do you only see injustice when it happens to you?

When I was 12 I owned a VHS that had a Charlie Brown promo with a guy who very clearly said “penis videos” instead of “peanuts videos” and I replayed it so many times I broke the tape.
I just digitized an old copy, tell me this dude didn’t know EXACTLY what he was doing lmao
