For the life of me, I will never understand why "Babylon" (2022, dir. Damien Chazelle) bombed at the box office and with critics. It's so good. Maybe I'm easily amused, but god, what a great film.

If you haven't yet read this, take a look. He's amazing. And Charlotte Clymer rocks.

We're now seeing headlines that claim X is blocking Grok from complying with requests to undress and sexualize women. Wrong again gang — it happily stripped me, gave me bigger breasts, and put me in pornographic poses, entirely for free. All I had to do was ask. www.theverge.com/news/861894/...

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

"When Scott walked into their bedroom, Graham was face down in bed, her body cold when he touched her. The two men pulled her down to the floor to start CPR, but it was too late. SJ stood in his crib, silently watching as they realized."

The worker, identified as TJ Sabula in the Washington Post, said “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump visited the Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan today. A worker there shouted “Pedophile protector!” at him from the floor. Trump said something and then flipped him off while walking away.

WSJ scoop: "President Trump criticized a group of U.S. attorneys at a White House event last week, calling them weak and complaining they weren't moving fast enough to prosecute his favored targets." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

An extremely rare moment: Fox Business runs a segment criticizing Trump for attacking Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and publicly urges him to “quietly drop” the investigation.

My favorite thing about her philanthropy is that she just writes a check; no complicated grants with detailed reporting requirements, just money.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Once upon a time, when I was a teenager, Scott Adams wrote a comic strip that made me laugh and think. That was a very long time ago, and in the years since, he became exactly the kind of craven, hypocritical, logically dubious, and evil person he used to mock in his strip. We owe him nothing.

I want to be charitable with this take because I believe it comes from a good place. There are many, many, many creatives who had a fraction of the success and access of Scott Adams, a multimillionaire, and didn't turn into far-right extremists when newspapers declined. Please stop justifying him.

Blanket bans on trans youth in sports have never been about fairness or science or protecting girls' sports. They are entirely about alleviating the discomfort of bigots who don't want trans youth on sports teams or anywhere else in the public square. That's all they are.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

“Which is why we are posthumously indicting Paul Revere.”

Hey, he got plenty of catches. BY THE TEXANS.

If you're worried about Aaron Rodgers coming after you for mocking him in his last game, just hide in the end zone. He'll never find you.

Damn, you'd think with Aaron Rodgers being anti-vaxx, it'd be easier to catch something from him.

At this point, if you’re buying meme coins, it’s more than likely your ass deserves to get scammed and I don’t feel the least bit sorry for you.

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

"Last night, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell put the whole of the establishment wing of the Republican Party to shame. Not to mention every Republican federal lawmaker. Not to mention most lawmakers, regardless of party. Not to mention every damn member of the Trump administration."

Grateful for a meaningful meet & greet last night in Adams Morgan with Amie Perl and Miriam Szubin! Bringing together friends, many working in government and politics, for thoughtful introductions, shared perspectives, and genuine connection.

If the administration takes control of the Federal Reserve specifically the setting of interest rates we are going to be carting around dollars in wheelbarrows in order to pay for things.

"This is the look your well-respected math teacher gives you during a brutal discussion after they’ve tried their best to help you succeed and now they’ve caught you cheating on an exam and they’re beyond disappointed with your conduct."

Flashback to this past July when Jerome Powell corrected Trump’s math on national television, live, and called out his disinformation.

Fuck yeah, Hamnet. Well deserved. Go Chloe Zhao!

Personally, I miss the awards shows from the '90s. I recall them being quite straightforward: opening monologue/number, solid comedic bits from presenters, orchestral walk-on for nominated films, nice build-up to the biggie awards, and good night. I don't know what the hell this is.

Really happy with most of the winners and their speeches, and really nonplussed with the overall production quality of the Globes broadcast. What a very strange production.

The Rhea Seehorn awards sweep thus begins.

Wanda Sykes, I love you so much.

The dance floor scene in Sinners, alone, deserves its own recognition, let alone Best Motion Picture.

If there is justice in the world, Sinners will win Best Motion Picture, too, thus making the Globes look silly for trying to sideline it with that obvious "not a prestige flick" bullshit.

Not gonna lie: these announcers on the Globes broadcast are pretty annoying.

Amy Poehler. Queen. Icon. All-time.

Golden Globes... is partnering... with Polymarket? Sigh.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

GODDAMMIT NOT NOW JEROME POWELL I'M WATCHING THE GLOBES (But yes, thank you, Jerome Powell, for speaking out.)

Attempting to turn off my brain and watch the Golden Globes for a flood of joy.

How the fuck is Bill Maher invited to the Golden Globes? For the life of me, I don't understand this.

If you wanna be nihilistic and say nothing really matters and nothing's gonna change and there's no point in fighting back, that's your choice. But don't expect the rest of us to humor it. Don't expect others to make space for chronic negativity. Nihilism is useless and irritating and repulsive.

I'm not a doctor or a nurse. I have no medical expertise. Far be it from me to diagnose anyone. I don't know what's going on with Trump. But I do know something is going on with him. We all can see it. Where is the scrutiny over his cognitive health that legacy media had for Pres. Biden?

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

The pictures and videos of the protests give me hope.

Folks are gathering for an anti-ICE march in Minnesota. Many more photos to come, but in the meantime: “movement chaplains” and Star Wars references.

“I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.”
