My unifying theory of everything that’s happening right now is that a not insignificant portion of the population is racist/antisemitic, and they would like other people to stop trying to make them feel bad about that

Every bad review of Ella McCay just makes me want to see it more

In a cool bit of personal news, a screenplay I wrote has been nominated for the 2026 International Indie Film & Screenplay Festival. The winner will be announced early next year.

If there’s one thing MAGA-types like it’s international soccer

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

So are we still getting medbeds, or nah?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It’s cool how whenever I open an Adobe Premiere project, it’s like waking up a drunk man from a deep REM sleep

Maybe irrational hope and optimism is an essentially human trait that AI will never learn, and that’s the reason prolonged exchanges with AIs always end with the AI descending into nihilism

I’m trying to recall if there was another time when a republican president overthrew a foreign dictator under false pretenses in order to seize their oil. Can’t put my finger on it though.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Imagine the world we could be living in

It’s crazy that the press fawned over Trump ending 3000 years of war when that was never even close to the case. Just Lucy with the football over and over again.

Yes it was long but at least it was also unfun to watch

I, on the other hand, am aiming for 100% plastic in my ejaculate so I can use my penis as a 3D printer

This is insanely cool (also, I had that issue of Nintendo Power)

When there’s a big damaging story about Trump, like how he’s planning on stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the American people, I like to go to National Review to get their take on the most important news of the day

Good work, everyone. Let’s keep it up.

Remember when the Speaker of the House blurted out that Trump was an FBI informant for the Epstein case, and then everyone just shrugged and moved on?

Such a smart take without the pearl clutching or the slavish sucking up that obscures much media criticism

It’s going to be bad when elementary school aged kids watch characters they love and trust lie to them and sell them absolute shit

I don’t like socializing, I like parasocializing

"Knight Rider" (1984) s02e17, Garthe Knight (Michael Knight's evil twin) breaks out of prison. Now in glorious HD.

Thinking about how my favorite detail in Dune is that computers have fucked up civilization so much that humans have banned them.

This is the most embarrassing shit ever

So I feel very strongly that there aren’t enough good resources to tell people what mobile games are actually fun and not just a Delaware corporation lunging for your wallet and I’m going to start a thread. Sam’s IOS Game Thread START:

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

People need to understand that there is a nihilistic edgelord culture that doesn’t easily map onto left/right politics

I’m very seriously thinking of buying one of their shirts

Jackass 3D is back in theaters this weekend, so now's a great time to revisit one of my favorite things I've written this year about the series ❤️

Vans are the third spaces American society desperately needs right now

If they take Ben & Jerry’s from me I swear to God…

My doomerist take is that ABC was probably looking for an excuse to shut down the Kimmel show anyway, as the long agonizing decline of network tv continues

I don’t agree with everything Ezra Klein says either, but if he becomes a political pariah it will be a sign of why democrats can’t have nice things

CHVRCHES is great because half the songs are like this cute petite woman sweetly singing that she’s going to fucking murder you

Sometimes you read a quote from someone and think “that can’t possibly sound as bad in context” but after watching this clip I can assure you it sounds just as bad in context.

The GOP has figured out that they’ll never pay a price for hypocrisy or lying, so they might as well say whatever pretextual bullshit they want to set the terms of a newscycle before anyone knows any actual facts.

1/2 In case you were wondering why the incorrect rumor of “trans activist” and “fascist symbols” on ammo started, it’s because arrows and initials are common ways manufacturers stamp ammo. Including “TRN” the ironsight and a direction broad arrow:

It’s this kind of day

i mean this very seriously: someone track down Michael Cohen and ask him

If I were a journalist, I’d look into the whole “Trump was an FBI informant trying to bust Epstein” thing

A nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering would be a high-leverage priority for the Democrats in 2026 and esp 2028. It is incredibly popular, more popular with anti-system “disaffected” voters (who were disproportionately likely to switch to Trump in 2024) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...

Kitchen table issues

It’s all terrible, but at least it shows that supposed small government conservatives were full of shit the whole time and that we never have to take anything they say in good faith ever again

The crazy thing about the battle over gerrymandering is that Trump still hasn’t released Epstein files
