This is great. Ray Charles on Elvis Presley: "Like, they say 'he's the king' - I got in trouble because one guy asked me this question and I said 'the king of what?' and he got mad at me."

Trump's UN speech has potential to be one of the most unhinged things we've ever heard

The Kimmel reaction lesson is that bullying works. Public companies will always just do whatever they think will be best for revenue and share price.

Kweli being such a clown unfortunately makes Black Star sound a little bit worse. Shame.

Hi, I served in Afghanistan: this is an obscenity and a perversion against both Christianity and America. Fuck this shit forever. Thanks.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

A press release title like this is too far fetched to even use as an example of how an authoritarian buffoon would behave. Stop being mean to dear leader!! Such an embarrassing government.

🧵Where did all the Alligator detainees go? Over 1200 have vanished from federal records. By late August about 800 no longer appeared in ICE's database, while another 450 were listed with no location, only the instruction "Call ICE for details." Lawyers and families don't know where they are.

Method Man w/ one opaque contact in “Bring the Pain.” Keith Murray on top of the Lexus in “The Most Beautifullest.” Clipse and the whole state of VA in “Grindin.” Just to name a few. An integral figure in my HS + college years. Diane Martel was a masterful architect, a visual genius and an icon. 🕊️

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

“For the large majority [of the Harper’s Letter signatories,] Trump’s reign of terror has apparently been less objectionable than the irritating undergraduate and entry-level scolds of the 2010s.”

"Oh but my kids love Disney" "Oh but it's too hard to move my platform off Substack" "Oh but their chicken sandwiches are so good" "Oh but my team is still on Twitter" Just admit you are a crybaby who cannot be the least bit inconvenienced while fascism rolls in all around you!

Kimmel off the air is not cancel culture. It's state censorship. The FCC Chair abused merger approval authority to do it, and the president touted it saying no one should be allowed to make fun of him. Don't play into the BS that complaining students or social media posters are equivalent to govt.

Andreï Tarkovski

Perfect end-stage depiction of the American century. (Not my photo but I drove by the sign today. The A has fallen out too since this was taken.)

So close now

So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me, so let me see, they tried to shut me down on ABC

Linda doing Linda things. Meep meep.

The carpenter replacing the door at my mom's house has spent much of the day smoking a cigarette hands free while carrying lumber around and operating power tools. Which is how you know he's a master.

I know Seattle has two T's but I still need to check every time

Great to see www.pressherald.com/2025/09/16/p...

Good rundown of what Jimmy actually said for those of you, like me, who assumed there was an another comment you had yet to see. There is not. He did the same (bad) speculation about motive and background that actual news TV and Twitter personalities have done breathlessly since the assassination.

US society allowed the government to call anyone they want to illegally detain and kill a "terrorist." And as everyone warned 25 years ago, with no checks or restraints, it's continuing to expand its usage. They will just keep killing and running roughshod over human rights.

Depraved government taking glee in murder.

You really hate to set Atleti lose this way

It's like those guys that clean your windshield without asking first.

Stop saying you're trying to cleanse my timeline. I like it how it is.

Redford achieved Drip God status in THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR

getting people fired for being insufficiently thirsty about Robert Redford

Robert Redford used his immense fame to shape the entire landscape of independent cinema. He was a true titan.

"All the Presidents Men" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" are two of the very tip top films ever made. What a legend. Robert Redford will live forever. We're so lucky he chose to act on screen.

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

One of the best looking films ever made

When I hear Black Eyed Peas at the wedding:

Everything that happens further supports my general worldview. It's wild how I'm always so correct about everything. I'm definitely not just framing a cluster of random events and facts in a super convenient way.
