“Someone will play a sick historical figure and win an award that Fiennes deserves much more; I think it is in its way one of the best movie performances I’ve seen.” Looking forward to being big mad this time next year when the 2027 Oscar noms come out and Fiennes isn’t there.

listening to a podcast interview with a canadian hockey player, one of the most inexpressive and monotone-voiced demographics on earth, and recalling again the absurdity of this complaint.

I've come to realize that a lot of people like him because he tells them it's OK to not have any values either. Values require effort. MAGA is about effortless decadence, sit in your chair and get mad at computer with the rest of us, it's great.

the longest YEAH BOIIIIIII

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I’m so sorry but it’s kind of incredible that this particular stupid book came out the same week people happen to have been posting the cricket bat speech all over social media

Reposting with Alt text (this one is too good to miss!)

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

I've been remiss in promoting this, but there are NINE Zoe Chant books free through today! www.zoechant.com/thankfulfors... for all of 'em www.amazon.com/dp/B09MGD2DR... for mine, A CHRISTMAS LIKE NO OTTER :)

just how fuckin bad are the rest of those files

so many good pictures out there

"Curtis Sliwa has a mixed record with matzoh balls" is definitely sending me

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Again, the fact he is semi useful sometimes about Trump when another person writes his material does not mean he deserves a “reward” This unrepentant obvious oil slick is a triangulating transphobic fool.

HIT HIM AGAIN, ZOHRAN.

None of this would be happening if I had an enormous cursed sword

Look just because the major was found dead with two puncture holes in his neck does NOT mean the vampires have anything to do with it. We're delighted to share an excerpt from Dead & Breakfast by @kathillisauthor.bsky.social and @rosieethor.bsky.social! reactormag.com/excerpts-dea...

If I posted something so dumb that Dril himself showed up in my comments to dunk on me, I would simply walk directly into the sea

BIG BOAT STUCK

oh I think I'm good, actually, thanks!

HAPPY PUB DAY to @kalynjosephson.bsky.social and RAVENGUARD!!! Fourth and final in the RAVENFALL series - don't miss out!

For the longest time I have believed that selling a healthy way of relating to online as "Going on The Computer" (like in your childhood) would make you loads of money.

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.

it was really important to me that I find my way back to the Times Square Planet Hollywood after it reopened. here's how it went: defector.com/seeking-clos...

Another day, another opportunity to flog the vintage porn for which I'm writing an intro in a new edition from @sandtclassics.bsky.social. I fiercely love this weird-ass novel.

If you use Firefox: Go into Settings, in the search bar type "Sidebar" and select "Show Sidebar." At the bottom of the sidebar, click "Customize Sidebar" (the little gear icon) and un-check the "AI Chatbot" box.

if you can trick a guy like this into saving your contact in his phone as "ChatGPT" i bet you could get him to wire you all his money in less than an hour

‘I had felt what was going to happen in October 2024, coming down through Connemara, driving through one rainbow after another, drinking hot water and honey for a smoky throat. A swell of dread.’ @tricialockwood.bsky.social goes back to Kansas City: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

#OtD 29 Jul 1962 fascist Oswald Mosley tried to march with the Union Movement in Manchester, UK. However, he was attacked by anti-fascists and had to be rescued by police. A Mosley speech later was drowned out by a crowd of anti-fascists. More info: www.patreon.com/posts/e37b-6...

As a heads up, I'm closing to queries in the month of August!

My biggest hater opinion is that they shouldn't play Bjork in coffee shops

Oh this is VERY good

Four episodes into the new season of Squid Game and I want to lay down on the floor for a very long time.

Zohran: "I'm going to make sure you can afford rent and groceries next year" Cuomo: "I'm just here to stay out of jail." Adams: "There are Chupacabras living in the subway stealing people's thoughts, and we're hiring more cops to find them"

obviously we have actual problems, but the end of the EBUG era in professional men's hockey heralds a profound loss of whimsy in a sport that desperately needs it defector.com/the-end-of-e...

You know, there are people on here I can understand getting mixed up with each other but tagging buckaroo Chuck Tingle when you're going for spineless Senator Chuck Schumer is not one that makes sense to me.

here's a funny thing: the dmv in nyc is an insanely seamless experience if you are not a moron. and gristede's sucks.

This would be catastrophic. There are so few places that sell chicken that has been properly aged in a nonfunctioning refrigerator.

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

Another fake lit agency is on the prowl, soliciting self-pubbed authors: GWM & Associates. Lots of vague platitudes and generic stock images, plus a Feb 2025 domain registration date that gives the lie to the array of book covers on the site, most pubbed long before February gwmandassociates.com
