Rhoda was such a fucking great tv show

I think this is the one I tried to watch with @amosposner.bsky.social and @joeuchill.bsky.social while we were all together for a friend's wedding and I got bored. If it had been redeemable, they'd have told me.

On Monday May 11th, my new short The Crumbs will screen at 6 pm as part of the Big Apple Film Festival. It's my most personal work and I'm excited to have a hometown screening. If you've wanted to support or assassinate me, here's your chance: baff2026springedition.eventive.org/schedule/69e...

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

This makes sense if each cabinet secretary is responsible for a different Final Destination death

Derek Jarman smiles upon this

We shouldn't have billionaires and we definitely shouldn't have billionaires now when they won't even do things like start TCM.

The tv movie where Indy romances three ladies in NYC (while palling with Gershwin and the Algonquin round table and Harlem jazz musicians) should be taught in schools.

This is THE film for anyone who wants to see Oliver Reed bludgeon a man with a taxidermied crocodile and then watch things get weird.

Alexis Goldstein, a former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau employee, was fired this year for recording DOGE’s incursion into the agency. www.wired.com/story/a-fede...

You can tell a piece of k-12 ed tech is really good when you're fantasizing about violence even before making an account.

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A Republican Wisconsin Assemblyman announced he was not running for re-election just days after @heartlandsignal.bsky.social asked him about a sexual harassment investigation involving comments he made about teens heartlandsignal.com/2026/04/27/w...

Today! Tornadoes and our country's quarterly presidential assassination attempt Mother Mary 🙏🏻 Hokum I Swear w/ @allisonkilkenny.bsky.social & @meredithlclark.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Spending Sunday with my beloved grandfather (watching Peter Cushing in Hammer horror movies)

Children’s soccer would be more fun if it included the threat of relegation.

“Put on something trashy,” I say. [Husband plays The Librarian: Quest for the Spear] “Honey it’s Bob Newhart!”

What incredible mail I received today. A $24 bill for one day of insurance coverage (because apparently the cancellation didn't go into their system in time to avoid the charge) and a notice to update the registration for my dead dog.

I’ve cried over a lot of surprising shit while feeling fragile/hormonal/down, but I think “weeping at Instagram posts about Patrick Muldoon from the cast of Starship Troopers” might now be the most…something.

A dark money group funded in the past by Peter Thiel has given nearly $9 million to a GOP-led PAC that is blanketing Virginia with mailers comparing the upcoming redistricting referendum to Jim Crow www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I live in such fear that the airline I use to fly direct to visit my family will enshittify that I don’t even want to name it lest I speak its decline into existence.

New from @gaigedavila.bsky.social: “It’s not targeting criminals, it’s not targeting dangerous people, it’s targeting individuals who are members of our community, who have a lot to offer and continue to offer a lot of positive things for our entire country and our society.”

An underrated Moorhead & Benson. Creepy Covid lockdown time capsule that’s also a celebration of making shit with people you love

Spent a full five minutes waiting for an old woman to pull out of a parking spot (car on, could see rear lights), found another spot, walked past her to see her scrolling on her phone. Boomers should not have phones.

Made my 79-year old dad watch this. Fun for the whole family.

We discuss a LOT on today’s ep, but the main thing we want you to remember is Sam Altman is a lying sociopath. Listen here! open.spotify.com/episode/7qg7... w/ @allisonkilkenny.bsky.social & @meredithlclark.bsky.social

This rules

Delicacies of the homeland

Nothing says Friday like thirty 1950s bus tickets from Milwaukee. www.presentandcorrect.com/blogs/blog/g... A typographic carnival.

Nothing is a better omen for a flight than being seated next to a dog

No one in the house can open the giant Costco jar of Kalamatas and I just. Want. My. Olives.

The only stickers I have saved in my phone are Ben Affleck smoking, The Rock in Moana, and a terrifying Callista Gingrich smile. I don’t really need more.

With nearly all ballots counted in Wisconsin, a startling stat: Chris Taylor, the liberal candidate, appears to have flipped 29 counties that went for Trump in 2024. (boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...)

This is the way

A nation that never has to pay is invincible or at least imperturbable to how anyone else is forced to pick up the check. Every fear can be dissipated by our beautiful weapons, every antagonist smited and every electoral foe thwarted by boldly, decisively and masculinely leveraging a little atrocity

The only time this is wrong: when the microwave popcorn requires melted butter. That’s Large Bowl time

All the people sharing that horse op-ed need to learn some Onion history smdh

When Trump in 2016 first told the lie about once meeting Lombardi, I established then that it was bullshit. It was an apocryphal story. Though minus the usual telltale "Sir..." It was also a gross mischaracterization of Lombardi, whose ethos was the opposite of Trump's.

I’m always incredibly annoyed when people say Gen X didn’t do shit for queer rep. Say Gregg Araki’s name you cowards

Of all the demented revelations in Megadoc, the only truly upsetting one is Shia LeBeouf describing how critically important it was to walk the walk of restorative justice for Jon Voight’s feelings.

My sister and I share a vivid memory of the time our extremely midwestern grandmother went on an tirade sometime in the mid-90s about how much she hated Maurice Chevalier for being a collaborator in WWII. I look forward to holding similar grudges for the next 50 years.

@evanryt.bsky.social here is a screenshot of a Reddit post containing your tweet that I just saw so now it can be on BlueSky too 😆

Building a separate thread off my point here -- it has been broadly and accurately noted how the wider shift to so much being online first and foremost in the 21st century therefore means a lot of work is uncaptured in physical form. This is a problem on numerous levels... (1/x)

Really excited for this documentary

Fans of Harry Potter should have just read IT in seventh grade like a normal person

The prominent Cubs logo in this photo about a WI jackass convicted of election fraud is a beautiful choice.
