Marvel, please don’t let Sam Raimi direct any more movies for the MCU. Multiverse of Madness is the worst movie in the MCU by far.

And like that, UC Berkeley throws its reputation in the dumpster.

Mike Rogers can STFU about sending the National Guard into Detroit. It’s the safest it’s been in decades. Grandstanding, fear-mongering, and government overreach will not get you elected, Rogers.

These AI summaries of readers' comments are really something.

I am bummed that And Just Like That… has ended but I think it was a wonderful coda to Sex & the City and I’m so pleased with where we see Carrie’s journey taking her. Thank you Darren Star, Sarah Jessica Parker, HBO, and everyone else involved. It made me happy.

Florida Republicans just banned The Diary of Anne Frank from public schools. Kinda says it all.

We eat one credit card every week because of microplastics. These tiny particles have been found in our Great Lakes, our blood, and our organs, yet we don’t know how they impact us. I introduced the Plastic Health Research Act so we can understand the harm and fight back for a healthier future.

This business where the commercial pauses and we’re supposed to choose our preferred “advertisement experience” but really we just wait for the little timer to end and select the first option for us has got to stop.

If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?

this is not how i would refute a claim from quorum-breakers that they had to leave the state to thwart my attempt to institute single-party rule

It’s the “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” texts from fundraising Democrats that made me finally start replying “Stop” to every single spam text

Forever robbed of a Mortdecai sequel cuz yall didn’t appreciate comedy genius

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days. They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention. Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...

Superman is punk rock. Go see it.

What? Wasn’t Sen Ted Cruz born abroad too? Should we deport him? www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2...

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

J.K. Rowling is using her Harry Potter money to fund “the removal of transgender rights from the workplace.” Remember that when you go to watch the new show or go to a HP theme park or whatever— you are funding hate. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. A day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four. Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled in a detention shuttle in Tennessee. www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-arrests-...

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

New in PN: Voters want Dems to stand up to Trump, not self-flagellate "The base's frustration is not because leading Democrats have failed to oppose Joe Biden. It’s because they are perceived as failing to oppose Donald Trump."

The Trump administration just sent the Secret Service to my house for posting "8647" on social media. They are literally redefining phrase as threats just so they can go after their political opponents.

I know people bring this up often, but reporters really should follow up on claims like this — whether repeated by Republicans or Democrats — with "do you have any evidence to prove that the protesters were paid?"

Hey @academyawards.bsky.social give Alan Silvestri a lifetime achievement award, please. He has scored half a century of classic films and never won any Oscars. Doesn’t seem right. Thanks!

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

Oklahoma Education Commissar Ryan Walters announces new academic standards for the coming school year. Among other things, all students will be required to learn Trump's version of the 2020 election.

Swalwell says the House Judiciary republicans just voted to allow Trump to deport US Citizens. From IG:

Sickening.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Warren Zevon’s daughter Ariel on what his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame means to the family and his legacy www.vulture.com/article/warr...

I’m here for the John Lithgow resurgence but it’s a damn shame he’ll be spending his final years making a show I will refuse to watch.

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Big shoutout to the gamers from The Last of Us fandom, y’all can keep a plot point secret

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Trump said if I voted for Kamala the economy would be in ruin. And I gotta say, he clocked it right. I voted for her and the economy is in shambles.
