Hey guys, I found out what happened to the captain of the Demeter!

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

It hits a sweet spot for proud Gen X garden hose drinkers approaching boomer age where the white-knuckled nostalgia has smoothed their brains such that they don't realize (or care) that they're wolfing down pure AI slop

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

A random kid at the bar won this at the claw machine and gave it to me. I thought that was very nice.

You have got to watch this movie. You have to go to the movie theater and watch One Battle After Another

The Guyver!

Someone I know went to the Riyadh comedy show and laughed their head off

It's hard to quantify but this might be the coolest thing ever in a movie

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

Eric Adams finally realized he doesn't need to be mayor to fight rats

Cybertruck, now in piss flavor

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is great. A kinetic, urgent masterpiece.

"His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die."

if you think this dude is ever going to fight Trump you should be studied in a lab

Holy shit, The Predicta is here!

About to see ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

The weakest sauce

41 years ago today, President Reagan vetoed sanctions against apartheid state South Africa; because it did not bother him.

Here's the thing about the sequel trilogy: it wasn't very well thought out and therefore doesn't hold up to much scrutiny.

Can't stay out too late. There's a Donald G. Jackson film waiting for me at home.

this is a real video eric adams posted today.. not sure he remembers he's running for mayor or what at this point

Why would Democrats agree to any budget deal when all of it can be overturned by executive fiat?

Waiting for Godot: The Hunt for Godot is the recently announced newest installment of the Godotverse. The long awaited sidequel follows Godot's adventures during the events of the original play.

I sometimes confuse Puddles Pity Party with Art The Clown and that feels like a potentially lethal mistake

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

AND Conrad Brooks!

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Worse than THINGS? Is this even legal?

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

This is the biggest self own Democrats have ever done. They handed control of the largest social media platform to far right regime allies.

Guitar noodling? In THIS economy?

You're all laughing but I started taking Tylenol to help with the aftermath of getting a temporary crown and now I know every train ever invented on a first name basis

This week, we are cueing up the greatest jingles from the commonwealth of Massachusetts with comedian Emmy Blotnick. Plus, we watch a promo video for Hellraiser sweatpants, revisit a now iconic tape about "male enhancement," and dive into the pit at a women's coleslaw wrestling event in Daytona!

Got mine!
