Some rules in society are so-called "idiot rules" that are only in place for idiots. The Thing You're Not Supposed To Do can be done safely, but since an idiot can't do it, they have to officially prohibit it from everyone. And if you do fuck it up and end up eating shit, you're best off dusting yourself off, hoping that nobody saw you, and never tell anyone that you even tried, so they won't find out that you're an idiot.

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

I think every pizza/kebab place that stays open late on the weekends has seen somebody drunk off their tits literally weep from joy because what they're currently eating is like the best thing they've ever eaten in their life.

When Clark said “he’s not even a very good dog but he’s all alone and he’s probably scared so i have to go get him” I was so happy because someone in that writers room truly understands superman better than we’ve seen in a long time. This is the essence of superman - that every living being deserves kindness and empathy and love simply because they are alive. Clark is the kind of guy who’d cry when he got stung by a bee not because it hurt but because the bee died when it stung him and someone in the writers room knew that and made sure it came through.

some Superman (2025) letterboxd reviews I wanted to share.

omg the girlies

Not all heroes wear capes. Or trousers.

Not leaving this in the tags

I saw this on insta and someone commented asking her how she knew they were in there and she said that she saw the mama duck with only one duckling and thought it was suspicious so she stopped to check and hear them quacking down there... :') <3

the way the momma duck sped up once she saw her babies yayyyy

Straight dudes who think women are some sort of a terrifying incomprehensible alien life force are both funny and kind of sad. Like bruh women are just people who have tits. Except the ones that don't.

Sometimes women are just people with tits, but without tits.

I can't express what it is exactly but there is something about the energy of this sign that says it is lying. not just lying but lying in a plot significant way. like this feels like a sign they would put in a video game as part of the environmental storytelling about how you're in a dystopian future where you can't trust anything.

So Trump's DOJ is suing the state of Washington because WA's new mandated reporting law says that clergy (among many other professions) are legally obligated to report ongoing child abuse if they know about it. And the Christofascists in the Trump regime call that "anti-catholic"

And all I can think of is this iconic post

Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

James Gunn’s thesis statement for his Superman is simple and effective: "Be good. Do good. Be human despite the bad things. That is the most punk rock thing in a world so stoic and cynical."

And that’s how it should be. That’s beautiful, the new Superman movie is beautiful.
