We all made it to Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil

“…in several high-profile cases, such as the expulsion of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, Trump officials have dug in on attempts to carry out deportations even when immigration officials make mistakes.”

I have complicated feelings about "One Battle After Another," but if you told me this was still from a scene that was cut from the film I'd believe you.

Does anyone have an efficient system or app suggestion for a way to organize articles you come across but don't have the time to read? I've defaulted to just emailing links to myself, but I feel like there's gotta be a better way.

all the gravitas of the set from win ben stein’s money

“The Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil” would be a great name for college jam band

Netflix is preparing to make its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery’s studios and HBO Max streaming business all cash, as Paramount continues pushing its competing offer. on.wsj.com/49Ynf6P

"A major question surrounding David’s takeover of Paramount and potential acquisition of Warner Bros. is how involved Larry wants to be — and what exactly the Ellisons’ intentions are in gobbling up so much of American media."

Was watching the niners game and got distracted. What did I miss re: the Golden Globes.

Can’t wait to see who wins “Best Podcast” at the Golden Globe Awards tonight

"MTV the cable channel may or may not survive the entertainment business’ perilous transition to streaming, but MTV the brand has a shot."

I got the infamous Dakota Johnson AD Open Door tour teabag last night.

Commissioned by NPR in partnership with Ipsos, the poll also highlights sharp partisan divides on key foreign policy issues.

Only responding to Teams messages with the "emo" emoji from now on.

She wants to attend the White House cage match?

You know there's a lot going on when you deep-exhale while reading small blips of good news.

“My heart remains grateful, and I will always give those involved in the decision-making the benefit of the doubt.”

This is incredibly well done, and totally damning. Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Just watched the video of the Minneapolis shooting and then read DHS statement. One of the most breathtakingly evil and dishonest distortions of reality i've ever read — which is really saying something coming from this administration. JFC.

Really makes you think.

Apparently structuring a deal w/ tons of debt and Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds doesn’t inspire confidence in shareholders.

Reading the news

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Will never forget that moment during the Jan 6 hearing when they showed the video of Josh Hawley running away from rioters as they breached the building and the whole room burst into laughter.

Happy 5-year anniversary to those of us who were asked to continue working despite the fact that a coup was unfolding at the United States Capitol.

Can't stop thinking about this. "Trump’s Venezuela incursion has injected a volatile foreign conflict into a political environment defined by voter anxiety over high prices and a softening job market."

I wanna know Maduro’s thoughts on the views from the highway in Gowanus, particularly the Brooklyn Tower (aka the Eye of Sauron)

Hung out at bar last night that was a 20min walk away from the Metropolitan Detention Center where Nicolás Maduro was getting booked. Everything just feels so strange and topsy-turvy.

That's it, i'm no longer doing any of my banking on X

NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed. futurism.com/future-socie...

Wish more people were talking about this show. This will absolutely be a cultural artifact of our age.

Serious question: what day of the week is it.

Zohran quoted Jadakiss in his speech????sdkjfk

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.

A *new* year? In this economy??

People eventually tire of reality shows. Seasons end, cast members get swapped — especially when the storylines are stale. Praying that this truth catches up to D.T. soon.

Doubling down on the fact that this song is actually v good. But it should have been released as an acoustic track.

The headline is kinda clickbait-y, but this is a good piece about the "quality vs. quantity" debate implicit in Netflix's acquisition of WBD (aka the home of HBO). Will Netflix kill the prestige drama format in order to retain people's attention?

i just did it all scared

Hoping that next year is defined by people opting out of (or at the very least, finding ways to circumvent) the Algorithm.

New Harry Styles music to come? A Beyonce Act III album yet to drop? A$AP Rocky releasing some new stuff, too? Feeling optimistic about 2026...at least from a sonic perspective.

I’m thinking of a word to describe Ludacris trying to sell me auto repair insurance.

It's close enough to the end of the year, so I can now say that "Sorry, Baby" was my favorite film of 2025.

Just shouted “go away” at a Microsoft Teams notification

As a quarter-century (and maybe democracy) comes to a close, a film and TV trope is back: All the cool girls are walking into bodies of water — Rose Byrne, Tessa Thompson, the women on ‘Hacks.’ Is this the defining visual metaphor of 2025?

Paramount amended its offer for Warner, with Larry Ellison agreeing to personally guarantee $40.4 billion of equity financing for the deal.
