Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Has there been a more fun soundtrack to a film than Suicide Squad (2017) ? I think about that Rick Ross/Skrillez song so often, not least because Jared Letos joker features for a longer time in that music video than in the actual film

She really does think she’s a character in the Sorkin tv show, The Newsroom

I'm serving my loved ones unseasoned Barley Stew because I'm actually Woke +

It’s called the Adam Friedland Show

I would genuinely rather be called the r word than have my ADHD described as being a “spicy mind”

Listening to MONSTER but shaking my head whenever Jay, Kanye and Nicki’s verses come up so that everyone knows I disagree with them

this is an incredible and very touching story but unsure what the BBC felt those weird AI images added to it?

It’s going to be really interesting when we’re forced to look back at this time in politics and culture, figuring out how much of it was based on lies people told on the internet

Another funny thing is that action figures, collectible cards etc are basically marketed to adults now. I know of a couple of grown men who have “asked for Pokémon cards” this Christmas

Starry Night over the Rhône River | Vincent Van Gogh

How can people hate Avatar when it correctly predicts that hysterically masculine Operator culture is going to last at least another 150 years? My man's marrying a 19 year old space-stripper and buying a hover-Dodge Charger.

Maybe someone at CBS needs to tell Bari Weiss that there are prison guards in the camps who go by They/Them pronouns

oh we’re never going to see this story about the horrors people face in CECOT in el salvador come out are we. part of the justification is that it’s two months late to the story? yet she did the town hall with erika kirk 3 months after he was killed? come on now

Not taking any avatar slander thank you very much. As someone who cannot watch a 4 hour film anymore all I can say is that you don’t know how good you have it if you can

Also the Avatar films do actually have something to say! It’s fairly refreshing when it comes to franchises

Also v interesting how their membership model sounds like an MLM

This is just sad.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

This largely assumes that the British people with the most political purchasing power have any sense of self awareness or humility. on LBC the other week the journalist went to one of the UK's most affected towns post Brexit, and everyone he interviewed said they'd vote Leave again

We are Charlie Atatürk

Reminder if you are not questioning do not say morbin' time

Why does she give off the same vibe as a Shinigami

the vice president is a klansman

Millennials are going to fuck up their kids in spectacular ways

Thinking about the cursed Christmas presents I’ve seen other people get. One year some guys dad got a “stocking stuffer” of Douglas Murray books

Another year where my poor organisation and recall means feeling I missed out on a lot of good reads/listens etc. How do you keep track of stuff you are interested in, want to return to etc? I can’t do another year of rogue faveing

It’s time for Jake Paul to go to Dagestan

People just say anything now. “Got model bitches in Peckham”. No you don’t. That’s not true

This happened to my buddy Eric

Avatar: Fire and Ash shows that there is nothing that isn't possible when you have a goth gf with bpd

I have it in good authority that the subway takes guy interviewed Konstantin Kisin, who had such an explosive take that the tube actually had to stop

Just realised that Owl City’s album cover is of the Dubai marina. Which is to say that Fireflies is about the Emirates and is Labubu music

Idk how to explain it but Anthony Joshua beating Jake Paul feels like “what if Hillary had won”

Genuinely one of the worst articles ive ever read. I had to walk out of the room after I read this part

So much of genAI propaganda is basically gaslighting. You are made to feel insane and doubt your better judgment when it's so fucking obvious it is violently not sustainable and the only truly inevitable thing about it is that it will implode.

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Sorry but I’m sick of Timothee Chalamet doing esoteric bits. You can’t do that while dating a Kardashian! They’ve already dealt with enough posters

Giving it 3 weeks before Walliams starts his anti woke turn with a triggernometry appearance

lol

Is it just me or are increasingly insane things happening regarding the president of the United States and his public conduct, only for it to just seem unremarkable at this point

I would have voted for Trump a third time

wow, great question:

Yes! Yes!!!!

Remembering years ago when Kumail got mad at me on twitter for saying The Big Sick was a pretty bad film and honestly in retrospect I’m just glad he didn’t become an anti woke reactionary like so many of his colleagues did
