I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

If you love this stuff the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ also has its share!

true confessions: my reflexive reaction to the Riyadh Comedy Festival lineup was "I mean, they're all Americans who also take money to perform in America, and look at us" am I saying that's the best take, or even a good one? Nooooo. But I'm saying it was my first thought

People think Brooklyn is cool, and it really is, but you must also know that definition must include "every day a 52-year-old man will drive by your street blaring Aaron Neville's song from the romantic haircutting scene in the 1996 film <Phenomenon>, a film your mother made you watch like 26 times"

"It actually was never meant to be an institution. It was always meant to be a couple of queers that got together and wanted to be radical, and the most radical thing that they could do at the time was caring about each other."

what annoys me the most about this in the end is that the action is entirely good, but with no reason to care. There’s a chase with a pickup and a combine (hadn’t seen that before), and the big train scene they use for the poster would be a hell of a scene if it mattered. But it’s, just, stunts

did he accidentally educate someone?

btw he's minority leader of the Senate itself because he was elected by the rest of our Democratic senators in 2016 and re-elected every two years since. Gearing up for Trump II? Stick with Schumer. In more than one state, there are probably good reasons to get interested in who else is out there

New gender dropped. Lorraine Bracco photographed by Peter Lindbergh for a Vogue France profile in 1990 to promote Goodfellas.

this still happens in my head weekly, it's too late for me

begging someone, anyone, to primary Chuck Schumer. I'd vote for a potato

"Schlemazel" and "Rake," one assumes

can’t shake the thought that this is what ammosexualism reaps. With all the ghastly shooting deaths we’ve had to get over as a nation for the last 30 years or so—with all the kids—what shooting could possibly make Americans feel like a line really got crossed, big time, just now

back at the office (not pictured). We’ll see if this was a mistake

vance has already framed this an assault on "law enforcement." if events of the past week haven't already driven the point home, the right's opportunism when it comes to minting martyrs to pursue its agenda will proceed no matter the actual events in question or the context that produced them

Gen Z is...what, 30 at the oldest and 13 at the youngest? not to be glib, but this tends to fade once 90% of the movie watches of your life weren't with your mommy and daddy

He launched a more powerful defense of journalism than the vast majority of mainstream journalists have and that's an indictment of them.

It’s been that catch-22 where the last thing you want to do and the first thing you need to do are the same thing: Eat

you know what’s weird af is that one time a Dem politician went on “The View” and dismantled the toxicity of the term and argued that yeah this is all pretty reasonable, in two minutes flat. It was Kamala Harris

The movie diary of a mystery cinemagoer was recently discovered. In it, they review the 325 films they saw in 1939. But who were they? Delve into the mystery on @filmhubni.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/4m8ktcpe And don't miss entry #40: Spawn of the North, now available on Blu-ray: tinyurl.com/3d7a8x4t

David Secter's nearly forgotten first feature film WINTER KEPT US WARM incorporates LGBTQ+ themes into a college campus coming of age tale — one of the first Canadian films to do so. It has also been noted as the film that inspired David Cronenberg to become a filmmaker. Screening Wednesday (9/24)

*watching the rapture* that asshole?

“endorsing” by conspicuously avoiding his name or anything his campaign could quote is the same kind of clumsy interview technique that riddled her 2024 campaign. It’s so lily-livered. Tough to imagine what it’s like to find it clever

Mr. President, this is a list of 34 people who must agree you’ve crossed a line before I’ll do anything about it 🤨

Trump’s sussed out my plan to make a waterbed out of overvaccinated babies It would have been so bouncy. I hate him

This has been going…ok. But I got home and was like “ooh boy, lying in bed!” so I think we’re in for a few days here

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

shit fuck fuck

If you want to understand the failure of our media, since Kirk’s murder Republicans have fanned out across the media for interviews, all claiming Dems calling Trump ‘fascist’ causes violence. And not a single interviewer has pushed back with: ‘But Trump called Harris a fascist!’

I remember hearing a political scientist on a podcast talking about the difference between conservatives and fascists, "I think a lot of conservatives will be hiding queer people in their basements if fascists fully consolidate their power." It's hilarious how naive cishets are, even now.

I loved WHEN WE WERE LIVE and if you like public access TV, community building, and gay stuff, you will too.

Everyone: I’ve finally viewed the 1972 3D skin flick ‘Jungle Stewardesses Break Out of Prison,’ and here is my 21-skeet report

Definitely got a little something, and I think I know from where because like 4 people are out today. But the freelancer endures

combination of listening to mirror man and being too broke to overeat has been paying off 😎

MAGA: That was electric, did you see how many people were there, did you see them registering people next to the merch booth, we’re going to win every election forever I can feel it. Look at my arms, goosebumps America: …uh so that’s how you do funerals, huh

Coming soon to the Creation Museum: The Charlie Kirk Memorial Service Experience! Test your autism knowledge and see fireworks explode over your head in our 360-degree tribute to one of 2025's great merchandising events

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

Bookending the weekend by watching ANACONDA, the ‘90s junk food horror film that he loves and I do not. We’re both about the same on THE RELIC

If you’re seeing this, drop an old pic you still love most frazzed-out greasy-faced no-sleep junk-food-gobbling time in my life, smoking in the gross little back street behind the place overworking me, and for ten seconds during those nine months managed this total lie
