The Nazi tattoo was always enough, because he either got a Nazi tattoo on purpose (disqualifying) or was too reckless and ignorant to know it was a Nazi tattoo (implausible but also disqualifying).

A reminder that Cotten’s career was NUTS. Inside of 10 years he was in this, Citizen Kane, the Magnificent Ambersons, Shadow of a Doubt, Portrait of Jennie, and the Third Man. Then he was in a lot of junk, but never seemed bitter about it. A class act.

Thanks so much!

Total champ. A little verklempt reading this.

The show is going to rip. If you have never seen David Murray in action, treat yourself. This show is also a bargain. events.ticketleap.com/tickets/antu...

Which, by the way, IS THE ENTIRE DAMN POINT of the “Nazi bar” anecdote everyone loves to pass around.

don't work yourself into a lather defending a guy who got a huge Nazi SS tattoo on his chest....it's honestly just that simple

Good. People don't want that fucking bullshit forcibly jammed into the index funds in their 401Ks and IRAs, etc. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

why would you say this

influencers are edgelords. "influencer" is an oppressive class, like Gen-X people or working class people.

talarico is, by all accounts, a fundamentally decent person, and paxton is, by every single account, a fundamentally horrifying and criminal bastard, and not only does he deserve to lose, talarico deserves to win, and we all need him to

further, the 18% is not (& never was) a gratuity, it is very much a ‘service fee’ I don’t know if the fee went indirectly to the staff via higher hourly wages & I won’t speculate (or argue) - this is just another piece of information to help people make informed decisions

A reminder that the @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social cut its staff, went to all-digital ordering, then kept the 18% service fee instead of raising their prices (OR getting rid of the fee) and as a result a Coke now costs over $7. By all means, still go if you want to. But just know all this.

Mr. Obama, what are you up to on Monday?

Does this guy have a humiliation fetish?

So apparently, there is a mechanism by which the Maine Democratic Party can replace a nominated candidate if he voluntarily drops out. Seems like information worth having. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

You can act this way Or You can run for office. You cannot do both.

Oh god this one always SENDS me, I sing it all the time

this is exciting.

I am a professional grade worrier. Have been my entire life. I do not need anybody to tell me when there are “no worries.” A simple “you’re welcome” or “sounds good” works GREAT.

wtf

Rest In Power

Marjane Satrapi and i are 2 years apart. while she was sneaking forbidden music at a great risk, I was being told that the *same music* would send me to hell, but i could buy it openly at the mall. reading Persepolis was eye-opening, put it in your students' hands. this news breaks my heart

WHAT

This Le Monde article is…yeah…just very sad, but in a fittingly beautiful way. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

What an immense loss. RIP Marjane Satrapi.

Hey, remember during the pandemic when the federal government fed kids everywhere? And then they just…stopped. We should feed kids. Full stop.

All that is solid melts into AI(r).

Boy I have not thought about that movie in a WHILE

Yes, I'm feeling it. "We had a general faith in the institutions of our government, and we’ve watched them really just be hollowed out and fail in ways that I think a lot of us didn’t think could happen." ~ Sandra Maurer, licensed professional clinical counselor www.huffpost.com/entry/betray...

Unsurprisingly excellent piece from Ted Chiang about LLMs and particularly about Claude. Claude (or any other LLM) is not conscious or "intelligent" in the general understanding of the word, but if it were, then it would be, essentially, a slave. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

Welp

Imagine being in the control room at your grownup TV job the first time you realize that television is created by people making choices, and doesn’t just happen organically.

I understand the greed. I understand the narcissism. I understand the con man shit. I just wish he wasn't so weird.

This is the performance artist known as "Trump"'s greatest performance since "Hurricane Sharpie." Maybe even as significant a surrealist artwork as "Enigmas Never Age / Headless Torso with Signature as Pubic Hair."

Normalize not letting bigots get away with referring to their bigotries as their consciences. Happy Pride Month.

House nerds!

Album cover for a scary seeming band your older sibling listens to and then you finally play the album one day and it’s just ska

How is this not Ted Nugent and other? Where are the conservative country and rock acts stepping up? What is Prussian Blue up to? There are literally no NSBM acts that wanna brush up their live set? Have the courage of your convictions!

Yep

this is not news unless you didn't already know but skinny puppy is so great you guys what an incredible band not really like any other band. listen to too dark park

holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

I've waited years for a film whose textures and narrative ARE Poppy Bush Interzone, not just a film set during this interstitial period. BACKROOMS is it. I'm impressed a 20-year-old directed it. humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2026/05/31/b...

Austin Record Convention types: The young person very willing to overpay for everything. Beards. Just living beards. Anyone you see with an H-E-B bag is definitely local and definitely resent paying 12 bucks to park at Palmer. Keep going if you like

Seriously, Maine is like a midsize Florida county having two of its own senators
