When a clown moves into the palace, he doesn’t become a king; the palace becomes a circus.

Got to see Wicked: For Good at an early-access screening tonight. A very satisfying conclusion to the story! Cynthia Erivo is every bit as great as she was in the first chapter. But this is Ariana Grande's movie. I think she has an excellent chance of winning the Supporting Actress Oscar this year.

Monday night was very impressive from the Dallas Cowboys. Kudos to everyone involved. They earned it. www.bloggingtheboys.com/dallas-cowbo...

Marshawn Kneeland spent nearly all of his 24 years working to get to the NFL. He died two days after scoring his first touchdown. His friends said he had told them he hoped to play his entire career for the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys are paying tribute to Marshawn Kneeland ahead of their MNF game in Las Vegas. Players and staff will wear shirts bearing Kneeland’s photo and the team also prepared a locker in his honor. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

Dak Prescott is balling out, the Cowboys defense is playing much better (safety!), and Dallas is winning comfortably in rather dramatic-free fashion. Granted, it’s the Raiders, but this has been the kind of easy-to-enjoy game I will never take for granted given the chaos to which I’m accustomed.

My god tht call was garbage and the game ends on that???? Insane.

Apologies for the late notice, but our planned Cinematic Realms discussion on the final four episodes of Alien: Earth has been postponed (unfortunately @gwynwebsterfilm.bsky.social isn't feeling well again). It will be rescheduled for a later date and our schedule will be updated. Enjoy your Sunday!

Iowa breaking out the goal line trick plays!

You: omg South Carolina is doing things Me, consulting the ancient texts: …for now

Only a few Saturdays of this left. Let's do some football.

It took some extraordinary heroics from Steph, but getting back-to-back wins in San Antonio is exceptionally impressive! #GoDubs

DUBS WIN

Awesome road win for the Warriors! #GoDubs

Stephen has 44 😤

One self-inflicted check on this administration’s would-be authoritarian aspirations: if you continue to hemorrhage basic competence in favor of installing loyalist idiots at a powerful agency, eventually the vast power of that agency diminishes because the loyalist idiots don’t know how to run it.

Had a great morning running the Monterey Bay Half Marathon once again with family and friends! No PR this time, but still happy with the pace. And it’s hard to beat the vibes of a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze and a gorgeous ocean view along the entire route! #MontereyBayHalfMarathon

Great performance from Nebraska’s true freshman quarterback TJ Lateef to help secure that win in his first college start! He showed veteran-level poise when the game got close. Very impressive! #GBR

Just awful. 24 years old.

Gavin Newsom: "This bear roared."

Mamdani: So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

TURN THE VOLUME UP! Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech ROCKED. 3000 miles away, and I’m completely fired up right now! 🔥💪

Tonight is a message and it’s loud and clear, America is done with Trump’s brand of politics.

My cousin Katie Brennan won her race for State Assembly in New Jersey tonight! She started out as a progressive candidate fighting against the party machine, won the Democratic Primary anyway, and will now represent her district in the State Assembly! So proud of her! 💙💪 www.katiebrennanfornj.com

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

“They win by making you think you’re alone. There are more of us.”

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

They win by making you think that you're alone. There are more of us! It has always been true. Tonight, we see the promise of democracy asserting itself, boldly and decisively. #ElectionNight #NoKings

There are more of us than there are of them.

One of my favorite themes to come out of Star Wars is what folks have called "The Victory Theme." John Williams' final major theme on the film side of themes. It's uplifting, beautiful, and above all, hopeful. Tonight, this shit is BLASTING in my ears. Y'all's nerves deserve good music tonight. 💙

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

Thinking about sending a reporter to Teterboro Airport to watch all the oligarchs fleeing.

BREAKING: Decision Desk calls New Jersey Governor for democrat MIKIE SHERRILL

They called it! Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia gubernatorial race!

This was always how I saw things too; there were always early bits that showed JJ and RJ were buddies skit Star Wars, even before 2025. And 100% to your second point; they NEVER deserved the extreme hate/harassment; it always struck a nerve because it felt like nobody learned from the prequel days.

As I’ve said before, it’s genuinely really great to see JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson collaborating on things again. They both did great jobs contributing to the sequel trilogy & have stated before that they’ve enjoyed each other’s works/movies. So it’s great to see them together half a decade later.
