An a bugaboo of mine with critics this season- the fixation on the actors getting "too old." We get it. We all knew that was happening with the prod time + covid + strikes. In a world with alt dimensions, monsters and psychics, the actor's ages is where your suspension of disbelief ends? Please

How on earth do you get a job as a critic at @thr.com with so very, very little media literacy? It's kind of amazing to me how much these two miss in this "conversation." Like, how do you get one of these jobs? Seems pretty cushy. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

@maddox.xmission.com is doing some of the good work over on threads. Not sure why he didn't repost here but good for folks to know:

The largest oil reserves in the world are in Venezuela. The largest oil producer in Africa is Nigeria. Other than China, one of the largest unmined rare earth deposits is in Greenland. Follow the money, it's always about the money.

The same people who want every school to be fortified like ft Knox because of mass shootings suddenly think masked men screaming "WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN" should be able to walk into any daycare center they want.

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple: It's not my face, so I mind my own business. That's it. That's the whole take.

As someone who teaches kids, I absolutely loathe how utterly correct this is 😬😂

I hope the next dem prez has the guts to pull CBS' white house access until they fire Bari Weiss.

I don’t understand how a guy with 360° peripheral vision can’t catch anyone.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award. And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Look I had the best, most specific, dumbass Stranger Things prediction come true, so the year can just end now.

My theory: I genuinely believe his brain is applesauce at this point, he regularly doesn't know who he's talking to, and was just happy to be chatting with another New Yorker.

After Charlie Kirk’s death, Donald Trump condemned “political violence.” So what—exactly—is calling for the murder of members of Congress who don’t share his politics?

As someone who teaches 17 year olds: no, they're definitely kids, and trying to find a workaround is just gross.

Whoever is making these hilarious memes should be ashamed of themselves. Just stop it.

Watergate was nothing. Compared to the cover up of a serial paedophiIe.

No but really- eat the rich. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Mamdani terrifies the Oligarchs. They need to understand that he's the compromise because if they continue to push our country further into dystopia to further their insatiable greed and need for control, something much more radical will be the reaction to it. They'll think of Mamdani as a moderate.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Temu gets it.

Both sides are NOT the same.

MAGAts are in love with their self-made victimhood. Making Kirk a perverse 'martyr' fits their narrative well.

Every parent in America must make sure their kids aren't being brain-poisoned online. What are they seeing in chats? Who are they talking to? What about their friends? What do those random nonsense things they're saying actually mean? This is our job now. Lives depend on it.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Kirk called on the attacker of Paul Pelosi to be released, making fun of it all Kirk brought people to the rally on J6th, continually spreading election lies. Kirk spread covid disinformation spewing hate towards doctors. Klein thinks that this is politics the “right way.”

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper. Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man. Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

So nearly everything connecting the killer of Charlie Kirk to the left is just gamer/chan culture. Video games do not cause violence, but the chan culture mixed with America's love of violence does. A thread (that will update) Bella Ciao is a song from Far Cry 6 www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1Gt...

Legit question here- of the examples of leftwing violence we have from the last few years, has any of the messaging from the perps ever been as memetic as the shit from Kirk shooter, Christchurch, ect? The memes feel like such a dead giveaway. @iwriteok.bsky.social @ceaubin.bsky.social

RFK Jr in this hearing:

Hate to give it to the conservatives, but this rebrand *is* woke af

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

Love this. Also, just putting it out there for folks; when they're this distracted, those vehicles are vulnerable as hell

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:

I fully believe about half of silicon valley is dumb enough to do this, and I genuinely hope they do.
