Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

GIRL, TRUMP WAS ORIGINALLY CHARGED UNDER THE ESPIONAGE ACT. HOW THE FUCK DID THIS NOT GO TO TRIAL?

And the video. I get that they think they'll be able to bury this on NYE, but... um. Treason has legs. And this has legs and legs for days.

Okay, I may not be the target audience for Mission Impossible III. They just got to the Vatican and I yelled, "Did you just blow a hole in a fucking ruin?"

I refuse to believe that baseball dies with 300 people at the final World Series and someone breaking DiMaggio's record. Baseball will die a harder death in America than capitalism, by miles, dude. Only beef I have with DS9 so far.

Oh, dear. I've just founded the Federal Reserve.

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

Girl, leg extensions are very bad for you? Don't they have a totally insane complication rate?

I'm deeply obsessed with this Jake/Nog side-quest of trading things for yamok sauce. It's every high school economics scenario you've ever seen and it's fantastic. Already get why everyone says DS9 is the best Trek. This is really dialed in and really sweet.

Another feather in DS9's cap: It deftly parries the original sin of both TOS and TNG - their fucking misogyny. Watching a scene that's Dax and Kira chatting away on the Rio Grande and it's one of the first solid Bechdal test passes I've ever seen in Trek.* *No, I havent finished Voyager.

I get how Sisko is some of folks' favorite captain. He gets annoyed in a "very solid single dad of a teenage son" sort of way, which is the right mix of stern and loving. I gotta watch his Q episode, cause I bet he tries to ground the celestial being.

You can tell a lot about a person by their favorite anything. "Trouble with Tribbles" says nothing but good things about Jeri.

wait this is INSANE all the new slang online is just incel psyops?? why aren’t we calling this out more often?? i feel insane??

This may be a weird place to start, but I'm fully in love with Odo, man. Every time Rene appears on screen, I'm locked in.

Okay, whomever said the Ferengi episodes of DS9 were top shelf was spot on. I just got "Nagus" and I'm so happy I could spit.

everywhere I look I see hidden agendas, secret alliances, and shadowy figures. except for my mysterious benefactor, who is beyond reproach

not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year

Hello, oh you don't have a ramp I guess, okay well lets talk in the driveway my name is Professor X and I run a school for monster babies

I'm sick and forced into consciousness by my pumping schedule. So, I'm starting DS9. Let's hang out with space baseball Jesus.

??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's only a martini if it's from the Martinaise region of Revachol. Otherwise it's just sparkling Commodore Red.

Just shot gunned the extended editions of the LOTR back to back: What a fucking masterpiece, dude. 10/10. No notes.

Well, damnit, am I gonna watch this after the battle of Helm's Deep?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

The context is dumb af, but also, may I submit: Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest

My wokest opinion is that you shouldn't have to register to vote. If you live here, you deserve a say in the Republic. Yes, everyone.

An Indian Restaurant called The Korma Manuever

I wish to attend this "Dragon Ball."

The Netflix and Amazon broadcasts are a great reminder that live sports is a deeply, deeply difficult type of TV that requires huge crews of profoundly skilled and experienced people who have worked together for a long time to look natural

This quote is from a piece that’s 8 years old now.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

Fair use.

these are the kind of numbers that, *at the end of a president's term*, herald a total wipeout for his party in the next election. we are in december of year one.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Legit, old girl was like, "We should ask Goebbels to comment on Aushwitz to ensure we're balanced".

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

I see no reason that @colbertlateshow.bsky.social shouldn't work with Sharyn Alfonsi from 60 Minutes and air her unredacted and unedited story on the El Salvadorian prison, on The Late Show one night. Bari Weiss has no say over Colbert, and Colbert isn't being renewed anyway. Stephen, do it!

The Streisand effect got me to watch a 60 minutes piece for the first time in adult hood:

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

I'll be totally honest: That 60 minutes piece on CECOT does move the narrative forward. What the hell have we done? Broadcast quality stream of the piece Bari Weiss tried to suppress below: www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h...

Austin Pets Alive had 145K volunteer hours pre COVID, but that number has dropped to 85K. If you are looking for a New Year's resolution, may I recommend volunteering? We have something for everyone. Animal care, greeters, facility care, laundry, making enrichment, data entry, clinic support...

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today

OMFG that was so sweet and so lovely. Some one get me an emotional support squirrel, stat.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

I have no memory of watching "It's a Wonderful Life" before. Nothing is more relatable to a small business owner than George Bailey reaching into his own pocket to keep the dream alive and everyone in good stead. Solidarity, comrade.
