Okay, so the headline "Disney Princesses Expose 'Obscene' Truth About What Really Goes On At Theme Parks" might be the greatest possible tease of internet clickbait to this moment. I'm not clicking through. 1) It's almost certainly trifling hype. 2) My own imagination exceeds all.

Hey so my cousin Gia is in surgery right now in LA to get a hysterectomy we believe will save her life. She tried every other option for treatment. I’d love for her to wake up & see we’ve raised more $. Please read her story & consider donation. THANK YOU to everyone who has given so far! ❤️😘❤️🥰🙏🏻

Incredible answer from KAT about not being nervous before game one but having a calmness that he felt came from his Mom

This exchange does absolutely nothing for the immediate moment. It does, however, do the important work of torpedoing Rubio with big money donors for a potential '28 run for the GOP nomination. No serious person or entity will be enthused about shelling out tens of millions for someone so unserious.

The alt text on this is sublime.

This! Content working in tandem with a broad acceptance of blockbuster films as theme park rides riddled with lazy plots, overt fan-service, and a lack of characterization.

Has anyone said anything about how swollen the underside of the president's right eye is? Something is very seriously wrong with this misanthrope's health.

The more they fail, the more destructive they are. They are absolute clowns, but their egos will not tolerate being questioned or shown up in any way. They eliminate anyone who challenges them, even if that challenge is not a Pelley one, but merely being more talented and skilled than they are.

I encountered variations of Bari Weiss regularly during my newspaper days. Especially those with her deadly combination of arrogance and incompetence who and vicious ambition. In the last years of newspapers, the Baris became more numerous & drove the struggling biz straight into the tar pit.

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

Trump's post supporting congressman Tom Kean make a lot of sense now. He wants to take a page out of Kean's playbook and not show up in public or at work for months. You might say Trump is keen on Kean.

Phil Dick got it right!

James Cameron: In my movie I invented Skynet as a cautionary tale. Defense ministers: At long last, we have created Skynet from classic sci-fi movie that warned us not to create Skynet.

I told my kid that in Sweden a karate instructor is callled a svensei and then my wife called the cops.

I quite literally shouted "Oh, NO!" aloud in a room here by myself when I saw this.

This is fact. I watched bean counters call themselves artists when they got ahold of desktop publishing software after purging experienced page layout artists. Bean counters are buying up studios and will call themselves artists after shitcanning every producer & director in sight.

Name your fav non-DC or Marvel comic book movie.

The crazy thing was, Doonesbury should have ushered in a revolution on the comics page, the way Peanuts did. Didn't happen. Doonesbury was such a headache for editors, they wouldn't touch a similar strip with a 10 foot pole. I still think back fondly to the outrage of geezer readers. They HATED it.

AH

There are no adults in the White House.

I think about this a lot.

Here's the exchange between Stephen Miller and the Dem account. Katie Miller has no standing to complain about anyone else's political rhetoric after what her husband said.

A clean, cogent argument can be made that while there are a great many accomplices involved, three men are predominantly responsible for the end of the American Century and the collapse of our republic: Newt Gingrich, Rubert Murdoch and Mark Burnett. I'm not here to argue, only to mourn.

The judge should throw the ticketing officer in jail for criminal contempt after this body cam footage is shown. Since that won't happen, I do hope his fellow officers will harass him mercilessly for years to come. "Hey, officer Hand to God," "what're you holding in your right hand?" and the like.

Volume 1 of this was exceptional. Eager to read the second installment–go get yourself some October Girl today!

October Girl! But in May!

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

I live in a county that went 81% for Trump, in a representative district that hasn't gone blue in nine decades, in a state with a gerrymandered GOP supermajority, in a country run by a kleptocrat and his compliant Republican cronies, but sure, I live in a bubble because I'm on fucking Bluesky

Sorry, @ronmarz.bsky.social, but I hope The Giants go 5-12 this year and bench the QB after he throws 30 interceptions.

@wychstreet.bsky.social I would just like to note in regards to your deleted post: BlueSky–the little engine that could when seeking to bring cosmic balance to the social media cosmos. Maybe a little wordy for a marketing slogan but we've got a point of departure.

Whatever I think of Tulsi Gabbard the public person, my heart goes out to her and her family given the stated reason she has chosen to resign.

Prices continue to soar, the DoJ keeps losing in court, the president's pet project is wildly unpopular and Senate Rs just drew a line in the sand about the J6 slush fund. What would a good comms team do? Send out the second- or third-most disliked person in the admin to do the racism on live TV.

Once he sees the video of this press event he's going to lose his shit. All anyone can see is the fellow behind him in his third trimester and it'll make the optics-obsessed Trump absolutely crazy. (I guess no one ever told that pregnant man about horizontal vs. vertical stripes on shirts.)

This is Enron-like. SpaceX has committed $1.6 billion to lease a data center in Mississippi. But instead of simply saying that, they structure it as an unconsolidated 49.9% interest in a joint venture. The only source of revenue for the "joint venture" is... the SpaceX lease. /6

I would fund the Texas Committee for Concerned Parents, something like that, and get it in every mailbox, buy ads on school “Facebook” pages, about the sweetheart deal Paxton did with the child molester in Waco.

Ok, for those of us watching the republic implode and keeping a list of all those complicit, this is now pornography:

If your byline sits atop a think-piece this morning about how Donald Trump is still a powerful political monolith because he can get GOP voters in deep red districts to heed his endorsement in primary contests, you need to go find an actual journalist and let him use you to wipe his ass clean.

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.
