I love all those movies.

What if Netflix ruled the box office? What then? Early reports have K-POP DEMON HUNTERS breaking through the noise with upwards of $18M this weekend, landing the #1 spot in North America on just 1,700 screens—none of them AMC.

New York Times is literally not on the people's side

fantastic lede from sam, and the rest of it ain’t too shabby either

NEW: Oregon and Pennsylvania are the latest to reject the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to acquire states’ private voter data, according to letters obtained by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Your loss, Brits! Just means more authoritarianism for us yanks, and we like our portions supersized! In fact, can we have a do-over on that whole Revolution thing? Turns out we DO prefer Mad Kings to self-governance after all!

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."

We hear you loud and clear, Madame Secretary.

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

As Americans struggle with higher prices due to Trump’s tariffs, his administration is telling them their concerns aren’t “material.” As former White House Deputy Press Sec @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social writes, “Trump is not a populist at all. He’s just an a**hole.”

A federal judge has blocked the Trump admin's investigation of a liberal advocacy group known for its campaigns against Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and Elon Musk’s X —>

A bad drunken joke.

In much of the rest of the world, Putin would have been seized and shackled on landing. There is an international warrant out for the arrest of the war criminal. But Trump rolled out the red carpet open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

164 years later, South Carolina finally occupies Washington.

Training? Like, on how to take a sandwich?

Movie FAX!: No special effects were used in Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" video. Christopher Walken can just fly like that. Although it take two attempts--the first time he fell 20 feet and landed on his keys.

The Fox Newsification of our Federal Government. These fucking losers.

Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee spent four years and hundreds of thousands of lives trying to occupy Washington, DC. MAGA accomplished it without firing a shot. South Carolina was the first state to secede. If South Carolina troops are the first in DC, let that symbolism not be lost on anyone.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers. Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

Media is scared to say what’s happening so they’re pretending flooding DC with troops is just a crime-fighting policy, even though the people doing it are obviously quite clear it’s an authoritarian coup d’etat

My latest today on how strict adherence to the rules is killing Democrats while fascists take cities

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

We have to talk about this also as an insult to the National Guard, who are being used as political props by the President and governors. They signed up to serve their country and their communities, and are now being turned into playthings of a political operation. It’s a slap in the face.

Greystar was using rent-setting algorithms from software company RealPage, the subject of a 2022 ProPublica investigation that showed the firm was helping landlords decide prices in a way that legal experts said could result in cartel-like behavior. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

The Game Pass is bad argument makes a lot less sense when you see how many games Microsoft is making vs. how many PlayStation is making Without Game Pass, smaller games that are still going to be struggling in a market where indies have multiplied AND live service still gobbles up most players

Breaking news: Hurricane Erin intensifies into a Category 5 storm, less than a day after becoming the year's first Atlantic hurricane.

For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives. But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected. Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

The first aerial photographs, taken in 1858, captured Paris from a tethered balloon at an altitude of 1,600 feet.

I THREW THE SANDWICH But I did not throw the panini

For months, the Trump admin has blocked me & my colleagues from inspecting 26 Federal Plaza. This ruling is more proof they've been hiding abusive, illegal conditions. Judge Kaplan’s order is progress, but we won’t stop until the 10th floor ICE detention site is shut down.

Thousands of people lined up at the Minnesota Capitol to pay tribute to slain lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Between the caskets was an urn containing the ashes of the family’s golden retriever, Gilbert.
