This sums up the attitude of a large swath of the voting population after the 2020 election

No thanks

Juror 4: Take a look at this sandwich. It's a very unusual sandwich. I've never seen one like it. Neither had the deli who sold it to the boy. Juror 8: I'm just saying a coincidence is possible. J 3: And I say it's not possible. (#8 produces an identical sandwich) J 2: It's the same sandwich!

Do the Rye Thing

The sandwich vigilante is the gift that keeps on giving

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Love to meet an Oscar winner early in their career! The equivalent for me: chatting with Barry Jenkins in the offices at @nwfilmforum.bsky.social while Medicine for Melancholy was playing. He's pictured here with Adam Sekuler after the screening--both better looking than my photos indicate.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Lots to love about this clip, but I wanna call everyone's attention to the predator mask, which allows for incredible expressiveness in the eyes and eyebrows and really does convince you that the creature can talk just like us.

He can't even lick boots well.

Current me has some questions for past me about this reminder I guess I set.

Just going to save this to use as a reaction image whenever someone comes out as trans

i know i sound like a junior city prosecutor on a soapbox, but we aren't going to end our heinous carceral state by failing to lock up corrupt leaders. if anything, not doing so makes it harder to achieve that change (or any change) because it breaks our ability to govern ourselves

At the PREY / PREDATOR: BADLANDS double feature and we just finished seeing PREY on the big screen and it was so good. I love the movies streamers are bringing us, but the theater will always be the best way to experience a film. Ten minutes until BADLANDS starts!

He was super polite during the election season even as everybody on their cousin was beating up on him, but now that he's won, he's not allowed to say anything back to them

I love my friends

the best and most consistent use case i have seen for AI is making right wing influencers weepy with nostalgia for a sepia-toned past that they fever dreamed once when they saw an immigrant and blacked out from rage

Will or will not this pass mustard ? Lettuce look forward to how this is sliced, with relish.

"[Defense attorney] Schroeder said that the Border Patrol Officer Greg Lairmore gave 'very questionable testimony' when he claimed that the sandwich 'exploded all over' his chest and claimed he could smell the mustard and onions." A PTSD flashback. Post Traumatic Sandwich Disorder.

Quite a case, no matter how you slice it

Did your editor remove the other 17 puns like my wife removes onions from a hoagie

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury lettuce consider the facts

"It might make Clint Eastwood fans think of The Outlaw Josey Wales, about an embittered, vengeful war veteran who insists that he rides alone and doesn’t want responsibility for anyone but himself, but accumulates allies and dependents as the story unfolds." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/pred...

"One of the pleasures of watching it is not knowing where it’s taking you, being surprised by where it goes, then retrospectively appreciating how each turn was telegraphed in images as well as dialogue." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/pred...

I understand that the Chicken Caesar is very popular with traveling businessmen.

This is actually a photo of the Oval Office in Falls Church, Virginia, managed by the Marriott corporation.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

"I feel free when I’m writing in my diary. I’m not writing to please anybody else, I don’t have a deadline and I can say things in there that I wouldn’t say elsewhere.”

If there's a movie about this New York City election, Jeremy Strong should play Cuomo

I haven't seen victories this lopsided since the last time the Harlem Globetrotters played the Washington Generals.
