This is what we’re doing to people. We are the bad guys.

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

Did anyone else notice the product placement/company promo near the end of the last Abbott Elementary? Because I didn’t love it!

Elmo needs to get off of X

Cris Collinsworth until two minutes ago: “It’s still a game, it’s still a game!”

Just dreaming of that parallel sliding door where Bo Nix doesn’t fracture his ankle at end of Bills game. 😢Not convinced they’d win this game or anything but pretty sure they’d have made this a better game to watch at least. Ah well!

Bad Bunny? More like Good Butt-y, amirite??

For that matter, “Uncanny Valley Donuts: Is America Dying?”

Nice to have the cancer medicine/health care ad follow right after the “Jesus gets us and will save us” ad #SuperBowl

Singing toilets and talking body hair: the story of American capitalism? Discuss #SuperBowl

So far Drake Maye looks overmatched and not ready for prime time while Sam Darnold is seeing ghosts and not making Vikings fans miss him the way they did most of the season. Good defenses but this exactly isn’t reminding people of Brees-Manning/Montana-Marino (so far).

Coming up next, the Coin Flip, sponsored by BetUSA and DraftKings #SuperBowl

Green Day Packers

I wonder if King Don is also mad about Green Day singing a song called American Idiot. “Is this ugly unpatriotic song making fun of me?” On the other hand maybe because they’re a band of white dudes he didn’t pay attention, or asked why they couldn’t play the alt TPUSA halftime show? #SuperBowl

this sounds like an amazing opportunity on Upwork (...not to do the job, but to make a movie about the guy hiring for this job, and the wife)

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Watched Running Man. As I note in this quickie review it’s not perfect but has cathartic anarchic energy that works well in this moment we’re in. With some very well-crafted action sequences. boxd.it/d2yFsv

🆘 Euth List - Sweet Melo Meet Melo! At first, fear made him freeze, pancake & refuse 2walk, he’s had no experience w/the outside world. But w/time & patience, he's begun to gain confidence. He now goes on walks & he even breaks into little zoomies in the yard. Pls Share 🙏 Reposts save lives!

Me watching the new Muppet Show and scanning all the more obscure bit player Muppet characters

Are you guys excited to see the new movie Statham Shelter

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Look forward to actually seeing it but Sam Rockwell in “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die” really seems like he’s playing this from Futurama

I love when a company’s support is 90% AI —and then they follow up with a request to find out how they did. “How’d we do?” I’ll tell you how you did.

My selfish other reaction to WaPo layoffs was, “oh great, now there’s like 100s more people I have to compete with for content, editor and journalism jobs!” But of course we all have bigger problems to navigate societally and economically. It’s why consumer boycotts and mass strikes are appealing.

GREAT NEWS ON THIS: NEON has acquired the outstanding film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM and will be giving it a theatrical release sometime later this year. Between this & LEVITICUS, glad to see that they've picked up two of the very best films of the fest to give them their moment on the big screen 📽️

Me after I've emailed pitches for an article that would be fun to write, to 3 popular journalistic outlets:

But…RFK Jr told me it was the coolest thing to drink!

Posted an ad on Craigslist to sell a piece of furniture and seconds later got a reply. This person offered to do a cashiers check for more have movers pick up etc etc Honey this ain’t my first rodeo. Imagine if these scammers did anything else with their lives?

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge. We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.

I see Facebook Marketplace is still having a normal one and as well vetted as ever. Was going to try to sell a kitchen block there but maybe I’ll stick around and buy dildos and models in a fridge and heck give me an old timey radio

Right-wingers have wanted to burn down the Post since fucking Watergate. That scandal was the flame that fueled their bullshit "liberal media" trope for decades. Frankly amazed it took them this long to get their wish.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Episode 6 of new season of All Creatures could turn off anyone who still thinks of eating veal (it’s a very sweet story, you’ll know what I mean).

one thing you can say about jeffrey epstein is that he simply loved emailing

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask. Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.

Here are some of Charles Simmons’ FB posts from just the past week before he was arrested for a “bias crime”—meaning when a crime is committed based on the defendant’s perception of the victim’s national origin, race, color, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or religion:

Referring to the classic movie #GroundhogDay again on Groundhog Day feels as relevant as ever, since we all feel like we’ve been living the same horrible day every day for a year that’s felt like an eternity.

Appreciating my city again more nowadays

The only #Ratner I’ll ever have an affinity for

Way way way more of THIS, please! ICE has NO FUCKING JURISDICTION to arrest citizens for exercising Constitutional rights.

He's like fucking Forrest Gump, but for sex crimes

Ok michael J Fox appearing on #Shrinking, and being damned funny, cheered me the F up

Literal kids, and teens and adults younger than me and GenX like me and older are all showing up here at Dolores park in SF. I’ll share some pics! It’s a lot of cheerful F ICE energy.

Please enjoy this playlist of the best of Catherine O’Hara on SCTV. I loved her so much. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Seriously, this feels especially cruel.

One of the best actors of her generation. Easily one of the best comedians of all time. As much Catherine O’Hara as we got, it was nowhere near enough.

Pam Bondi is the Franz Gürtner of this regime. Look it up, it’s not a flattering comp.
