The thought of rich USC alum caught in No Kings downtown traffic on their way to tailgate the game makes me smile.

I don't know how to do the math on crowd estimates but at around 1:30 you had 33 blocks full of people, with the front of the march dispersing onto 14th and the rear of the march still piling people in.

So adorable to see the younger generation discover Curtis Sliwa.

A video this week captured Hamas fighters in Gaza executing Palestinian rivals as the militant group tries to assert that it is still the dominant force in the territory, no matter how weakened it is after two years of war with Israel.

Just read an article about a community theatre production of a musical in Ireland, and one of the amateur actors is name Liam McEneaney. I wish the young man the very best of luck, because I'm in SAG/AFTRA which means I GET TO KEEP THE NAME, MOTHERFUCKER.

RIP Diane Keaton.

Oh hey the day one of the other Nobel Peace Prize nominees promises to give the Venezuelan government billions in aid. It makes a feller proud to be a patriot,

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Great finale. I'm assuming after MoT we get an 11 St Kids series? Adebayo went from being a character I was kind of meh on to having maybe my favorite arc. Growing up and letting go are tough. 1. Where were the pier scenes shot? 2. Sasha Bordeaux in Batman? The End.

podcaster trying to talk about economic history: awesome podcaster brings up that up to 90% of the economy in the ancient world was agricultural: awesome podcaster not realizing that economic growth thus meant improvements in agricultural yield: less awesome

I can't believe Minecraft Movie 2 and The Simpsons Movie 2 are going to go up against the release of 'Bad Fairies.' #showbizinsider

it's crazy how fast movies become dated. for instance, the 2021 movie "Don't Look Up" no longer makes sense, because if an American scientist discovered a planet-killing comet heading towards us today, their main response would be "oh thank fuck for that"

If you're in Hollywood tonight, go check out y bud Kaki King at the Hotel Cafe. I have class all night so I can't make it, but trust me she puts on a hell of a show. Scroll down for a ticket link.

I love that I live in a world where Francis Ford Coppola is following up Megalopolis with another bonkers-sounding project to be shot in Italy entirely in Italian.

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

i found her! after all this time i found amelia earhart in a file on my computer called "lost plane"! i can't believe i didn't check it before.

As more parents steer their children away from screens and social media, the landline phone — a mainstay of Gen X- and millennial-generation childhoods — is having a renaissance.

As far as the Riyadh Comedy Festival goes, I have so much integrity that I never got famous enough to even be asked.

Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in.

Love Peacemaker.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

One of Tom Adams' Raymond Chandler novel covers, maybe, collectively, his crowning achievement.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

For the series that's in it - 'Tapping him again' (Arthur Guinness loses the 1880 Dublin city election) - Pat, 3 April 1880

Nicole Kidman's getting divorcd and something something something an AMC theater because even heartbreak feels good in a place like that.

L.A. has me thinking that NPD might be a waterborne disease.

2025 has been a year of terrific filmmaking so far and we're nowhere near Oscar season.

The difference between Dennis Hopper as Tom Ripley and Matt Damon is Hopper makes you go, "That sociopath career criminal seems like kind of an asshole."

The Pawfather… I put a mouse’s head in your bed…

Industry Press: If the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie doesn't do Marvel numbers he must be sacrificed to the Gods who have caused the box office drought.

Don't forget that George Carlin went to Uganda in 1976 for the Idi Amin Comedy Festival.

Sean Penn deserves an Oscar just for pulling off that brushed-from-behind combover.

I changed my mind - doing the Riyadh Comedy Festival is edgy as fuck. When you get canceled over a tweet in SA, you get canceled: rsf.org/en/reign-ter...

I saw 'One Battle After Another' tonight. I don't want to spoil this for anyone - I had the privilege of being able to walk in completely blind and I want to give that to those who want to share that experience. That being said:

Just as an FYI for the stupidest political base in American history: The cost of tariffs gets passed to YOU. That's why groceries that used to cost $60 now cost $100. YOU ARE PAYING THESE TARIFFS. THE REVENUE RAISED FROM TARIFFS IS COMING FROM YOU, THE CONSUMER.

I just finished a 1500 word academic essay about David Lynch. I fell asleep halfway through writing it, so I'm sure it will be thrilling for my TAs to read it.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Call me "Classy McGee", but when I die I want a funeral with a red carpet and a step n repeat.

Sadly; yes…

These are parlous times for lexicography, Stefan Fatsis writes. Merriam-Webster and are effectively the only publishers left—and they’re fighting to survive.

🤦‍♂️

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

President Donald Trump and his closest allies are considering plans to crack down on left-wing groups following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but not all Republicans are sold on going down that road of retribution. https://cnn.it/3IiesCQ

Reading tweets from former "Gifted and Talented Kids" who are disappointed they didn't amount to much, and remembering how the kids who got into G&T at my school were also the biggest kiss-asses.
