ABBA having a song for literally every human experience. having a crush, being broke, getting dumped, making up, turning 18, watching your daughter grow up, being horny, defeating the French... they really covered every possible situation

Let me tell you, as a person who has just shaved down to a mustache and goatee and is currently cutting straight bangs into my hair for an Urbain Grandier costume, it is incredible that Oliver Reed managed to look as good as he did in that movie

I booked a hair appointment in advance to undo the damage I’ve done to myself here. For art, or something.

I didn’t mean for the British government to use this as a list of objectives
every news story out of the UK is like "penalties increased for those who daydream without a license" or "parliament passes new masturbation guidelines (no nipple stuff)"

how can you see this last minute blitz *against* abdul from people within his own party and not feel a bit conspiratorial? 4 days left, and this is the shit "democrats" are focused on

really obsessed with the opening scene of Poltergeist (1982), which features a standard television late-night "sign off" (patriotic montage, national anthem) rendered strange and haunting by the close-up on the scanlines of the old CRT screen

really really cool how Poltergeist uses the age old haunted-house-story to work through a set of very specifically early-80's anxieties regarding the expansion of tv from 3 channels that signed off at night to huge multichannel cable prescriptions and 24-hour channels like CNN

who, the movie asks, is talking to your kids through the screen once you're asleep? It used to just be NBC, CBS, and ABC ("The Big Three") but now you have seventy-something channels running all night long, and so you can't reliably answer that question any more

If you showed this to a Massachusetts puritan from the 1700s he would kill himself
VATICAN: "Pope Leo XIV has exercised his right to vote as a citizen of the United States, every time he had the opportunity. The Holy See Press Office confirms that, in line with this established practice of civic participation, the Pope has sent his ballot by mail to Chicago. The Holy Father has also confirmed that, during the years in which he resided in Peru, he exercised his right to vote every time he had the opportunity. The Holy Father expresses his conviction regarding the right and duty of citizens to participate in democratic processes.”
