my life dream is to live above a whole foods and use it as my fridge

and with one 11,000-word masterpiece about free restaurant bread, @caity.bsky.social proves she is a better writer than, well, everyone

richard linklater is directing the masterpiece stephen sondheim musical, merrily we roll along, as a movie, over the course of 20 years, planning to complete it in 2040. he'll be 80 when it's done filming. 🤯 www.screendaily.com/news/richard...

people in westerns should never kiss because they haven’t showered

in this age of global travel and social media, cheating film settings finally needs to stop. it’s just too obvious now to everyone that new zealand isn’t japan, norway isn’t denmark, and vancouver isn’t every place on earth

my dream date is “endlessly browse the criterion channel app but never actually watch anything and chill”

my favorite tiktok genre is people having complete emotional breakdowns watching the end of la la land

This is true in science also. Good ideas are ten-a-penny - but what is impressive is actually getting it done. It’s the doing that makes the work worthwhile, not the initial spark (99 times out of hundred).

"Ellison is the first figure with any tech ties, even familial, to take over a legacy media company." www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

whenever jack conte speaks, i'm convinced that surviving as an artist should be a prerequisite for running a tech company. "If we're going to task people with figuring out how to build data centers in space, then we ought to task people with figuring out how to pay creators for their work."

Wait a minute the people running the country are morons

minneapolis’s spirit will never be broken

the pitt should introduce a character exhibiting symptoms of delirium who won't stop yelling that everyone in the hospital is in a tv show

38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to

my new favorite entertainment genre is mcdonald’s ceo parodies

[guy who sang baby beluga] the festering belly is splitting, each half digested soul fumbling for a knife

Age 12: I want to change the world Age 18: I want to make great art Age 25: I want to live a personally satisfying life Age 30: I want to have a clean apartment Age 36: I want to dissolve into a fine mist, and be dispersed by the wind

Crazy that the NHL got a huge boost in female fandom and lost it again in the span of what... 2 months? Incredible fumble, or whatever the hockey version of a fumble is

politicians should only receive the pay and healthcare of their least-paid employed constituent

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Let’s be honest: in many of these winter Olympic “sports”, the snow is doing most of the work. An unexpected thaw would expose these so-called athletes for the frauds they are

it is insane that we have a trillion-dollar tech/vc ecosystem but we "can't figure out" how to fund the journalism that democracy literally needs to survive.

ugh why is everybody calling my masked armed death squads who kidnap kindergartners the gestapo

man the stuff i am seeing on IG from the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

oh no! artists are repurposing decaying temples of consumerism! the horror www.latimes.com/california/s...

a country is truly broken when the best available career path is becoming an agent of state-sponsored violence against your neighbors for a piddling $80k/year

Asking the front desk person at the pasta factory if I can spend a night in the spaghetti room sleeping on the warm spaghetti they’re NOT selling and they don’t know what “I’M” talking about?

ready from the gecko

deposing a foreign ruler and spending tens of billions of dollars on oil subsidies so we can put American frackers out of business, just in time for EVs to permanently collapse oil demand. that's the Trump business touch alright

la la land may be the best movie ever made, discuss

"It’s probably worth noting that for all of the right-wing narrative around Minneapolis being unsafe, there has only been *one* homicide in the city so far this year. It happened today and was committed by a masked ICE agent." -Sam Deutsch bettercities.substack.com

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

We condemn ICE's killing of a Minneapolis woman today and call on federal agents to withdraw from Minnesota immediately. This tragedy is further proof that ICE is out of control, endangering our communities, and must end its lawless operations before anyone else is brutally hurt or killed.

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

if a store doesn’t have the main thing i needed i won’t buy any of the other things i needed out of spite

rare-earth metals aren't actually rare, they're just expensive and difficult to separate from surrounding minerals. china's monopoly on them is mostly due to the chinese government's tolerance of the catastrophic environmental effects of mining them www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Rob Reiner's dad, Carl, created one of the best sitcoms ever (The Dick Van Dyke Show) and directed the funniest comedy film ever (The Jerk). Rob, wanting to avoid nepobaby coasting, pulled off the most insane 8-year film directing run in history, making the definitive movie for every film genre:

one weird thing about me is that i’ve nearly never had a job that didn’t feed you while you’re working. so the idea that there are any jobs that don’t provide free meals seems inhumane.

the value of delta diamond has dropped to near-zero, because delta now sells 88% of first class. if you buy twenty $500 tickets/year and delta has a ~20% ticket premium compared to others, you're paying a $2k loyalty premium. only a ~25% upgrade rate would justify that. at 88% load that's impossible

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

We packrafted 50 miles on the Escalante River, in the shadow of the largest public lands rollback in US history. A landscape millions of years in the making shouldn’t be able to be threatened by a single executive order. youtu.be/Zdd9NgQm3SA

it is crazy that the president is essentially just the project manager for a medium-sized hotel ballroom who tweets things which would yet someone with that actual job fired instantaneously
