Hailing from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, I'm a big time film nerd (with a particular love of David Lynch & 20th century horror), an avid reader of a broad range (but 70s 80s horror and sci-fi paperbacks and political history are my jam) and part-time poet when I'm less stable/more inspired, indie rock geek with a strong Americana twist. I'm ace-leaning and a committed friend of the Trans community, genderqueer he/they, mental health awareness advocate with schizoaffective.

In my lifelong defense of the classic Smashing Pumpkins albums despite Billy Corgan being a crazy person, I just argued that Disarm is the song Peter Murphy in the 80s would have made if the label would have spent on a full string section.

@jcrabapple Oh man, not talking about his wrestling's promotion embracing the right wing, I used to read his blog posts back in the day from the early 00s religiously, and they were just documents that his pure insanity began at a young age, they were amazing. Just pure crazed memoirs.

I am fundamentally pleased that Steve Earle can always fulfill my need for some real ass country and western

Somebody please destroy Kissinger's corpse, because you just KNOW he'd love to direct an army of them during a zombie apocalypse.

I have no fondness for Joe Biden, but I do for Hunter a bit. He's just a dysfunctional child of well put together father who likes to do drugs, have sex, and commit light fraud in a capitalist system. The exact things I'd be doing if I grew up a Senator and Vice President's offspring.

Shameless how CNN (my dad likes to have it on much to my chagrin) spends tons of time talking about Israeli hostages and Israeli victims throughout this whole conflict and barely even mention the Palestinian victims let alone even acknowledge the massive humanitarian crisis there. CNN has become an absolute right-wing joke since the new leadership came in.

If you still watch ANY cable news channels in this modern age, you should really think about making a change in consumption.

I don't know how to feel about the fact that I have had Come Stay Away by Styx stuck endlessly in my head for two days now since I briefly heard it on the radio and listening to it has only made it worse.

Thelma Lou and Luna, my "siblings" as they are my dad and stepmom's, they barely left my side for hours after I got here.

Please, I must listen to something else other than King Diamond. It has been like 70% of all music I've listened to for over a week, a person cannot subsist on this diet

Roddy McDowell deserved much more critical recognition for his performances in the Apes series, but at least he got the ultimate reward: a guest stint on

I've started reading the Dark Empire comic book series from the early 90s and I have to say it has some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen, a lot of use of watercolor backgrounds and bold two-tone pastel panels. The writing hasn't been the most gripping, but the art keeps me coming back for more.

Best birthday greeting today was the video of my best friend's 1st grader singing her "Uncle" Ben "Happy Birthday" and promising me a present the next time she sees me as if simply seeing her wasn't enough.

It is kind of fucked that the Jedi and the Senate were just like okay with the Clone Army when pushed came to shove, flesh and blood beings with inner lives, when their opponents were primarily droid armies. Why the heck didn't they just make their own droid army?

@danjac I feel like that is a weak excuse, how hard is to build droid factories? Are those the only planet possibly capable of building battle droids? They just wanted to use their doppelganger child soldiers.

Not gonna lie, I'd rather listen to Yoko Ono's very nice, accomplished experimental music than I would like 3/4ths of the Beatles' Pablum-filled solo careers. She's got a number of albums I quite dig.

@Christo Can hardly think of a woman in mainstream music who faced more misogyny than Yoko did, it is really terrible

This episode of Columbo I'm watching has Roddy McDowell in it, which is just character actor catnip to a Columbosexual like myself. Chew that scenery to shreds, Roddy

I think we've all just agreed to never talk about how many notable, great filmmakers signed that petition to get charges dropped against Roman Polanski. It was an unfortunate time in history.

If you hire Kevin Hart to endorse your product, I just assume the target demographic is unapologetic homophobes and thus the product is not for me.

The first R2D2 meets C-3PO he teaches him to be ashamed of his nudity. In this thread I will break down how R2D2 is the stand in for the Tree of Knowledge and the Jedis the Devil (1/253)

It is too bad that Telltale Games shut down before we could ever get a Downton Abbey interactive game.

Acquired the audiobooks of the original Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn, because I've just gradually decided I'm not super interested in the modern Disney-era canon and only want to explore or re-explore the very fun stories of the now-Legends era, spurred on by the recent sales on Legends-era games.

@cassidy Yeah because of the involvement of Zahn, that is the one Disney era series that does interest me
