Surprised this guy didn’t call them lunatics, haters, and punk trash

Began the day by seeing an extremely misguided take about video stores but don't worry: I am working on something about video stores for a currently thriving video store right now!

i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w

Setting aside the thorny falsehood of "unprecedented media abundance," working at a video store for the past five years has introduced me to countless new movies, experiences, and people (many I now consider friends). I'll take the communal experience over any digital landscape no matter the scope.

Really nice of Rep. Mfume to respond to my message back in March about the illegal detainment of Mahmoud Khalil with an email this morning about cosponsoring bills that "extends and expands crucial United States-Israel cooperation agreements." Way to read the room!

Incredibly important update from Letterboxd

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

Thought you’d want to look at this one: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

Fuck. A generational loss.

Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown were in the closet talking to Saquon Barkley and I saw Saquon Barkley and Saquon Barkley looked at me

@beyondvideo.bsky.social a non-profit library of cinema, has signed on to the Apartheid-Free Baltimore pledge! www.beyondvideo.org AFB businesses pledge to: 🍉Avoid business w/ companies complicit in Israel’s human rights violations 🍉Follow BDS & PACBI guidelines 🍉Divest from complicit companies

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

ICE killed a Chicago area man last week. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He wasn't "the worst of the worst." He was a cook. ICE hopes we'll forget about him. We won't.

The media doesn't want you to know that like 92% of Americans died last year from illegal drugs. But we're not going to let them conceal the truth any longer.

Apologies to my Eagles fan friends, but what an extremely funny start to the NFL season

I hope the traffic is INSANE for Palmer's jersey day.

In an Orioles season full of low points, the nadir might be hosting a Barstool stooge who doesn't even root for the team for a first pitch

From humble beginnings to now Thanks for taking the field for us Ceddy

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

For everyone who has ever asked, on seeing my Baltimore homicide charts, "How did they do that?"

I often walk Baltimore's promenade. Can't say I have ever noticed a baby sting ray in the Patapsco River before today

Omfg shut up. My parents live in that neighborhood, they voted for Mamdani and their view at night is filled with empty dark apartments owned as investments by those with properties elsewhere, these are not concerns of “residents” they are issues for financial holding companies

Friendly reminder that I'm doing my damndest to keep up a running list of all the remaining video store locations in the world 💿📼💿 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

wait they're not sleepy like i'm sleepy wait they're not sleepy like i'm sleepy na-aa-a-aa-a-aa-a-aaps

If a guy is posting screencaps of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE to social media that means he’s so horny his nose is bleeding

dat’s right. and dat number makes us officially the largest-ever video-rental collection in Baltimore! (the late, great Video Americain reported owning in the 30,000s as it closed). Thanks to everyone who’s helped us grow to thisamazing size from our humble beginnings with ~8900 titles in 2018!

tfw your social media policies are more stringent than your sourcing standards

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing

I think this really shows how sweaty and transparently pathetic this whole smear campaign is. It hasn't even been a week since Zohran won and they're already breaking through the bottom of the barrel.

"Coming up with nondefamatory ways to attack Zohran Mamdani is not exactly an insurmountable task"—I mean, theoretically; personally, I'm going to keep attacking him with the same nakedly anti-Muslim guilt-by-association line I already wrote a whole article pushing

Baltimore next?

The conditions at an ICE family detention facility in Texas are so bad that adults are literally physically jockeying with children for *water.* This is the desperation ICE is deliberately and, it must be said, sadistically producing. apnews.com/article/migr...

Job Garcia’s kidnapping by the Trump administration is the top story on the LA Times website right now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Bilal Abdullah’s mother tells @baynardwoods.bsky.social that BPD officers injured her shoulder as she tried to get to her son following Tuesday evening’s shooting. @baltimorebeat.bsky.social is the only news outlet in Baltimore with this coverage: baltimorebeat.com/family-mourn...

This statement from Stable Baltimore is heartbreaking

They hate science and academia but still want to claim their legitimacy

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

i hate to be the fucking guy to post andor pictures but....

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
