Feels like since the last time I checked, Tubi has quietly become a refuge for short-lived or mostly forgotten 2000s and 2010s sitcoms. Like, if you’ve been meaning to revisit Kevin Can Wait, ’Til Death or S#*! My Dad Says, boy, do I have the streaming service for you.

But also much much older films that none of the other streamers ever bother with! I found 1949's "The Third Man" on there! This is really cool!

the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country

I'm a one issue voter at this point and my issue is "are you gonna actually try to fix this nonsense or do you want to return to ~norms~"

The Florida state House just passed DeSantis' new gerrymander. The governor had basically told lawmakers to disregard Section 2 in anticipation of Callais (which of course came an hour before this vote).

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.

we knew it was coming but it doesn't make seeing it any easier. John Roberts is a generational monster, man.

*cries in I Got An Ablation A Decade Ago And Now My Doctors Just Shrug When I Ask Them How I Know Whether I'm Starting Menopause* (will not check my hormone levels because "They don't mean anything. They fluctuate." and won't even consider any therapies at all because I don't bleed)

Similarly, once they cut your wages, good luck getting them back up to where they were before the crisis.

This is a big reason why "look at this graph, it says you're better off" generates rage on here. It's detached from the fact that nothing is ever going to go down in price ever again without a huge and probably quite forceful intervention from ~somewhere~

The meta now is to wait for some big exogenous event > increase prices far more than is justified by said event > never lower prices when the event passes > 'what are you going to do? Not drive? Not use electricity? Not eat?'

🚨 BREAKING: British oil and gas giant BP has more than doubled profits due to the Iran war - from $1.38bn to $3.2bn

This company should be driven out of business.

I've seen and read far too many examples of cops being rewarded with cushy new jobs in cushy new locations for murdering civilians and not suffering any punishment for it whatsoever to be surprised by this, and I know I'll see this happen even more. But it doesn't make this any less infuriating.

Our waitress at Olive Garden gave us so much more food than you normally get. Then she sent us each home with 4 breadsticks to go with our leftovers. And got my mom an iced tea to go. The manager came around to ask how things were & we praised her to high heaven.

This little puppy lets mom gorge on Olive Garden salad & breadsticks.

Please stop asking AI for legal advice. I got yelled at today by a person who was convinced their GenAI was right and I was wrong on a legal issue bc "computers can't make mistakes." Worse, the GenAI assured the person (wrongly) it is covered by the same attorney client privilege that lawyers are.

Seriously: If they get away with this, they can prosecute literally anyone for anything they say. "He said we have to 'fight' in this election. That's a death threat!"

They spotted you across the shadowy Gothic cathedral and like your vibe

Why would you believe that someone who has never admitted to doing anything wrong, or sought to make amends to anyone for anything, had “learned his lesson” and will do better next time? What is that leap of faith based on???

Not even the most absurd episode of Veep could have dreamed this up.

There are a lot of people who don't copy Rudin or people like him & pat themselves on the back for that. But "not abusive physically and verbally every single day" is a low bar to clear, and leaves room for a lot of other unacceptable shit from "not Rudin" bosses (to be clear "not Rudin" ≠ "good")

The 90s were a fertile decade in American film. Also, this still haunts me: In the 90s, if you were an aspiring film person in NYC, the 2 big shops many people wanted to work in were Rudin's office or the Weinstein brother's operation. I know veterans of both. Most are out of the biz entirely now.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Some pretty crazy stuff that somehow didn’t make it on the air.

one year ago

Reagan actually got shot at the same hotel and never asked for a ballroom

i also remain amazed at how, all these years later, conservatives are still angry and aggrieved that barack obama extended empathy to a black teenager who was killed for no reason. shows you what is in their hearts.

there is something genuinely clarifying and useful about this kind of stuff. they are totally hoods off and proud of it, which means we should not hesitate to describe them accordingly

IDK this feels like...super scammy.

Are they just charging me to alleviate something that is otherwise the seller's/shipper's duty? What am I missing here?

So I don't really understand the "delivery insurance" that keeps getting tacked on to various online orders, which promises to make sure that my order gets delivered. Isn't that...already not my responsibility?

"Why don't you get things started?!!!" I have such a Pavlovian response to this. Instant joy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYZG...

gerry fought like a goddamn lion for a long time and was never anything less than... yknow. *gerry.* and when he was sick and hurting and fighting for every moment left he could grab, he still had the steel to tell these nazi geeks to get fucked. let his memory be a blessing -- and a goddamn roadmap

Heads up if you have a Capital One credit card. It's going to be transitioned to the Discover network in the next month. 👎🏾👎🏾 www.instagram.com/reel/DXaTi5F...

Who could've seen something like this coming? Let me go check ESPN, home of ESPN Bet, and see what they're saying about this stunning development!

“You can’t win according to the rules so you’re changing the rules!” they’ll whine, and it is extremely important that we just say “shut up.” These *are* the rules. Use them.

Unlike the theft of the power of the purse, impoundments, etc, Trump has committed that are unconstitutional and black letter law illegal, there are a bunch of changes the Democrats can make that simply require Congress act like the fucking Article I body it is. All it requires is will.

"I slept in a catapult." Nah, man. You slept in a drop-side crib with a padded crib bumper and enough stuffed animals around you to fill a claw machine. The catapult actually might have been safer.

What about a trebuchet? What about a ballista? What about a torsion siege engine? Chat, if it is not a crib, bassinet, play yard, or bedside sleeper that meets federal standards for safe sleep, get that baby out of there.

It's Monday!

Republicans have unveiled a new congressional map of Florida that they want to pass this week. The map's goal is to deliver *four* new seats to the GOP. (Meaning the GOP's goal here is a delegation that's 24-4, compared to 20-8 now.) Via Fox News: www.foxnews.com/politics/ron...

I put way too much cream in my coffee this morning (😔), but Dolly doesn't care.

1. Don’t try to shoot people. 2. “Tone down the rhetoric against the president, whose former close aides describe as ‘fascist,’ and also ignore everything he says about his critics” is not a reasonable argument.

3. Neither is “if the president doesn’t get his massive ballroom, funded by donors known to him but not the public and built on the White House grounds after he unilaterally has part of the building torn down, the terrorists win.”
