Robert Duvall, the legendary character actor who specialized in playing rugged, complicated men, has died. He was 95. 🕊️ www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Released #OTD in 1973 #filmsky Jack Lemmon admitted to having had a serious drinking problem at one time, which is one reason he considered his Oscar-winning role as Harry Stoner in Save the Tiger (1973) as perhaps the most gratifying, emotionally fulfilling performance of his career.

Every four years, social media goes apeshit for curling and then no one even thinks about it for 48 months.

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

Irving Berlin wrote this in 1941 about Hitler. Look at this gem still coming in handy. I can assure you this will be the first tune on my next radio show. youtu.be/UM1Rn3PD3Z0?...

It’s one thing for Pam Bondi’s DOJ to not prosecute anyone in the Epstein files, it’s another to be openly hostile, defiant, and dismissive of victims while doing it. I can’t wait until Trump discards Bondi like he does with everyone and she’s confused about why she’s not special

A federal judge ruled in favor of Kelly Thursday, finding that Hegseth violated the senator’s constitutional rights by attempting to downgrade his rank and retirement benefits. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/judge-r...

Hegseth has radicalized Richard Leon, the most conservative partisanly Republican judge not appointed by Trump I've ever met.

“The Scots gave us the two most frustrating sports in golf and curling” HAHAHAHAH

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Wordle in 2 today. Come at me, World!

People, this is a damn fine list, Strictly curated. In fact, this is a good reference in case you missed anyone when you moved to BlueSky. Really worth a peep.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

You can imagine that our enemies are paying attention to our complete and utter incompetence.

DEMOCRAT LEGISLATORS: THIS IS THE WAY IT’S DONE

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

I don’t know if I can hate these motherfucking assholes any more than I do, but in fact I can. And I don’t know how that’s possible.

From James Sowerby's British Mineralogy (1802–1817). Despite his scientific leanings, Sowerby was first and foremost an artist, adept in describing and demonstrating how complex questions of perspective, scale, and color functioned in individual objects: publicdomainreview.org/collection/s...

Good morning. ☕️ Marcello Mastroianni

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Oh this is fantastic art using actual images from space missions. Jupiter and Io, Earth, and Mars.

Except for the blowback and backdown, this was not a one-off. Trump&Co. have been moving the window of acceptable racism for years now. Friday’s post was genuinely shocking, but it also had a feeling of inevitability. They were always going to end up here. charliesykes.substack.com/p/trumps-bad...

So when the bride and groom kissed during the halftime show, it felt pretty genuine. Guess what, you guys! That was a real wedding! variety.com/2026/music/n...

I love that Bad Bunny made a statement without making a statement. What a class act this guy is. What a beautiful person.

I genuinely enjoyed the halftime show, and I don't speak a lick of Spanish. Joy doesn't need translation.

One hundred percent. I LOVE this!

Just spitballing here, but maybe we should celebrate all this beautiful stuff and have a better country?

BENITO ANTONIO MARTINEZ OCASIO! Bad Bunny is all about joy and love! What a tremendous show!

The billboard behind Bad Bunny during this halftime performance reads: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

Listen up, people- this is straight from the top!

Literally guffawed.

One last time for the NYC folks: I'm introducing ALL ABOUT EVE (aka the greatest movie ever made) at the Paris Theater on Monday, February 9 at 7pm. Get your tickets and fasten your seatbelts! You know what kinda night it's gonna be. www.paristheaternyc.com/event/all-ab...

When I see the horribly racist video of the Obamas by Donald Trump, I'm always reminded of this quote from one of my favorite writers, Alexander Dumas, when people would make similar photos of him.

In-depth look is an understatement! Photos, DeNiro’s marked-up script, lots of video commentary & interviews, even more photos, and a masterful essay by Tim Pelan. Like what you see? Donate a few bucks to this incredible non-profit group so they can continue their work.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

One of the horrible realities about multi-billionaires is that they can buy a legacy product, deliberately tank it, and suffer no serious loss of prestige or money. American culture is now a demolition derby that props up the egos of a few cosseted men.

Okay, you guys wanted some fun tea on Richard Dawkins? Here you go: one reason he may have gotten super duper angry about me talking about misogyny in atheism skepchick.org/2026/02/epst...

I’ve seen other videos of singers doing this, singing for ICE agents to change their minds, before bringing out the noisemakers and brass bands and whatnots. ICE/BCP invaded a town full of theater/choir/band kids. The Twin Cities know how to art, and we art well.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

BALDWIN: Is it true you ended longstanding practice of including external scientists as part of director search committees? BHATTACHARYA: Senator, I've been working very har-- Q: Is it true? BHATTACHARYA: We've changed the process so that there's no formal committee bc we don't have time for it

“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.
