TIL that the last known American who was enslaved (Peter Mills), lived until 1972 at the age of 110. He not only outlived Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Fred Hampton, he was a contemporary of Barack Obama.

What are the odds that there was a Police Commissioner named Kelly in two different famous comedy shows set in the city of New York?

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

Last year I was representing someone so overcharged by a state's attorney that the judge pulled us aside to ask what they were doing. The prosecutor responded "I don't take a position on morality and neither does the law. It must be enforced as strictly as possible whether it's moral or not."

Share your favorite black and white movie

Post five cover songs you liked more than the originals. Into the Mystic - Colin James One - Mary J Blige ft. U2 Sound of Silence - Disturbed Bongo Bong - Lou Bega Back Home in Derry - John Close

One of the funniest films of the last five years. All the insufferable Hollywood romcom tropes filtered through an Eastern European story about two working class people.

Drop something HOOVED

The Gaza aid flotilla has come under attack from drones and explosions. Israel is scared of this flotilla. Why? Because it proves that Israel's genocidal starvation of Gaza can be stopped - if there's the will. I spoke to David Adler on the flotilla yesterday.

We could have had a crossover between Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey.

Isr*el gets free healthcare, education, & subsidized housing because of American tax dollars — All while Americans go without. Now, Tr*mp is giving them an additional 6 BILLION so they can continue their genocide…

I used to worry about making stale, outdated jokes on social media, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Every Democrat voted to honor a man who said my wife was too stupid to fly a plane and would never be as smart as a white man and both of us should be institutionalized and forcibly detransitioned 🙃😒

J-Roc from “Trailer Park Boys” definitely cracks my top 5.

Shadows Things will come into motion Shadows Time comes to life Imagine stars while you shape The solar systems Into existence

Post a female character you love.

Describing a man who routinely described Black people, immigrants, and LGBTQ people as subhuman as a "bridge-builder" is so mind-numbingly dumb and offensive. www.huffpost.com/entry/the-of...

The Lion King, directed by Xavier Dolan

Politics have no place in Football so it was unacceptable for Colin Kaepernick to peacefully take a knee to protest systemic racism, but the NFL proudly held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk because we must honor a man who denied systemic racism even exists. This is America.

Eindelijk!

This is what happens.

All who eulogize this person positively & all media outlets martyring him, including the CEO of this app, you all KNOW you could roll out a scroll's worth of quotes like this attributed to him. You KNOW he stoked violence. In honoring him you stoke more. The rest of us now see how You think of us.

This is how Charlie practiced politics: He preached about oppressing women - boasting that he’d force his daughter to give birth if she were raped. He often encouraged political violence against marginalized people. He perpetuated hatred, his last words were racist rhetoric.

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.

lol he blocked me

When you devote your life to the message that empathy is evil and gun deaths are an acceptable price to pay for gun rights, you shape the world with your words. Maybe Charlie Kirk didn’t expect to be a victim of his own worldbuilding, but his death is consistent with the world he helped create.

Friend of mine just sent this quote. Feels relevant as hell today. "I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk

Most people read dystopian fiction and are horrified. But more horrifying than that are those people who read said fiction and become inspired to make it reality.

What a missed opportunity that #TheBoys has never used this song in one of their trailers or soundtrack. Come on, Kripke, you’ve got one last chance! youtu.be/JwfXMRc2KVQ?...

Slightly diminish a book The Sound and the Mild Irritation

Post a perfect album from the /90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains. Blind Guardian should be hailed as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. I’d even put them over Metallica and Black Sabbath! Yeah, I said it.

Atom Egoyan’s Barbie

The first thing I saw when I opened this app today was Kevin O'Leary on the news saying how Epstein survivors should shut up and move on because they're in their "childbearing years," and if I were on that panel I would have barfed up my stomach contents onto him like a sea cucumber under threat

Name a non-LotR character who is a cool and good person but would nevertheless set land speed records for getting fucked up by the One Ring

The Twat of Wall Street

The US government is now straight up posting nazi propaganda.

That moment where you listen to Rob Inglis’ reading of The Hobbit, get to the part where Bilbo recalls that dragons are said to be weak beneath the chest, and you realize that Bilbo knows this because of some bowdlerized hobbit version of the tragedy of Turin Turambar.

I’d just like to thank those of you who finished reading this sentence.

So, apparently the Netherlands has their own answer to Blind Guardian. They're an alt metal band called Blackbriar, and they're fantastic! Here's a track from their new album, out tomorrow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr99...

Which film reminds you most of your childhood? 🎥

Bro. Rewatching Chicken Run, fully getting all the POW tropes that they were playing for laughs. But also, holy hell, did poor Edwina deliberately not lay eggs or ask for help because she wanted it to end? That’s really dark. Not to mention that Me Tweedy is basically insane? Right?

fandomwire.com/the-robert-d... Well, that works for me, bro. I stopped liking your work after “Jackie Brown”. And far as I’m concerned, Stone’s efforts created the best film which has your name on it.
