Found a screenshot. He's now claiming it was "comedic hyperbole" and trying to shame Courtney Milan for quoting him and saying this was shit.

A tweet from @cafernblue reading:

i still think my favourite thing that's ever happened to me on the internet is the time a guy said "people change their minds when you show them facts" and I said "actually studies show that's not true" and linked TWO sources and he said "yeah well I still think it works"

Hmmm. Lotta pink, which is fine, though a bit funny considering my history with pink, and then there's that bright yellow, which I'm not a huge fan of. pantonecolors.net/pantone-birt...

My Pantone Birth Chart Palette: a grid of 4 colored squares. Upper left: Gemini Sun, is Lemon Signal, a rich medium yellow. Upper right: Libra Moon, Dusty Orchid, a medium mauve. Lower left: Libra Rising, Airy Peony, a light medium rose pink. Lower right: Cancer Venus, Pearl Blush, a light taupe.

I have an ex that is genuinely terrified of butterflies and after we split they wouldn’t stop showing up so I planted a ton of milkweed outside and absolutely rubbed myself down in orange and strawberry juice when I knew said ex was coming over (uninvited) and waited on the porch, covered head to toe in Monarchs. I’ve healed now, but I would like to be gazed at with that much awe and terror again just once. (1/2)

YALL ARE SO FUNNY 😂 ex burned rubber backing out when I took that first step off the porch (2/2

'Head in the Clouds' 2004. Charlize Theron plays a French bi poly free spirit who refuses to take life too seriously because as a girl a fortune teller told her she wouldn't see her 34th birthday. But this is Europe in the 1930's, and she can't keep the people she loves from feeling differently.

Poster for the 2004 movie Head in the Clouds, featuring Charlize Theron in a waved Bob, Stuart Townsend, and an inset of Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz dancing.

This gives a better idea of the detail of the piece.

An illustration in bright red with black of a massive tower. The top of it looks a bit like a face below the eyes with an open mouth. It's leaning a bit

H.R. Giger's Red Totem I. Most of his art is sharp in dark, neutral colors, and this was a relative shock for both the bright color and the watercolor feel. It feels to me like the death throes of something epic. Only seen photos. There aren't many photos of it online, this doesn't do it justice.

An image all in bright red with black details. It could be interpreted as a massive tower arising out of a canyon, surrounded by boiling bloody steam or clouds. On either side the sky is whiter in contrast.

Yes you did, you said it is losing its value because of Israel's actions, here it is black and white. Joel wasn't talking about Israel.

Antisemitism is a real and growing issue in American politics and culture, but the fact that American Jewish organizations like the ADL and AJC went harder on Mamdani than on Platner is part of why we are making no headway in fighting it.

Reply by Tulipanet (@tulipanet.bsky.social)

The term "antisemitism" lost all value with the genocide on Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon by Zionist Jews

Im sorry to inform you

I love that this is the main poster used at Letterboxd. It's not *entirely* false advertising as this scene does occur, sort of, but it is a bit misleading. I'd love to know the source for this, because I really doubt it was one of the original posters. #HorrorWatch

Alternative poster for War of the Gargantuas that depicts a stormy green ocean, with giant octopus tentacles coming out of the water on either side of a fishing boat, as well as a tentacle rising up behind a giant humanoid monster in the background.

I think maybe you should do some reading about the death toll associated with Grohl and The Foo Fighters promoting AIDS denialism and rethink this. medium.com/the-monthly/...

This heroic refusal to look back would seem to include not looking back upon his band’s very public support for Alive and Well AIDS Alternatives, an AIDS denial group that argued HIV did not cause AIDS — and that HIV was, in fact, harmless and non-contagious. Alive and Well argued that AIDS was likely caused by recreational drug use and/or the very antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV patients, and as such it discouraged people from taking HIV tests, practicing safe sex, or, for those living with HIV, accepting medication. In the late 1990s, its director was personally received by South African President Thabo Mbeki, a man who also denied the link between HIV and AIDS and, by banning antiretroviral drugs in public hospitals, is credibly blamed for hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Poster or VHS cover for the movie Electric Dreams. It has a cartoon of a desktop computer with red devil horns and tail, with the face on the monitor smiling Emily. The tagline is "A boy, a girl, and a computer."

The alt text for the last paragraph:

"Every New Yorker should have the freedom to live as themselves and access the health care they need," said Mayor Mamdani. "As the federal government attacks transgender people and attempts to intimidate patients, families and providers, New York City is stepping up. We will protect care, support the providers delivering it and make clear that trans New Yorkers belong in this city. Health care is a human right, and we will do everything in our power to defend it."

And this article shows the negative attitudes are pretty widespread www.lemonde.fr/en/environme...

According to a poll published in early June, 78% of French people believe that air conditioning is not environmentally friendly. In 2021, almost six out of 10 French respondents said they would rather "suffer from the heat than install an air conditioner in order to protect the environment." "As for me, I won't put my kid or my granddaughter or my great-granddaughter somewhere with air conditioning from morning to night!" declared Mélenchon during a visit to the Vivatech trade show, according to reporting by France Info.

Cover image for 'Phantom 2040', with a man in the traditional Phantom purple body suit and black mask standing against a building corner holding some kind of futuristic pistol-shaped weapon. Around the corner are a faceless robot and something that looks a robot body with a human head or driver.

I don't think of myself as a bug lover, but I almost missed a bus today because I was trying to get a photo of a cute bug of some sort, possibly a jewel beetle. I didn't get a good photo, so I'm glad I at least caught the bus.

My #LastFourWatched I was surprised to discover that Hoppers is extremely my shit. I was less surprised to discover that The Mandalorian movie is fine, actually.

This, yes! From my review on Letterboxd:

I promise you that whoever you think the good guys are in any war, they do heinous shit. Being more comfortable with that heinous shit because the people who did it share your politics? Yeah, everybody does that too. And maybe part of the problem so many people have with this movie is that it didn't let them.

As for The Late Show account, yes, it still shows up under Collaberations, but that's probably because CBS is too stupid to have figured out how to knock it down, but they're not hosting it, and it doesn't show up in their normal video listing.
