My year in movies: I watched 85 movies this year.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."

My 7 year old laughed and said, "that car is called a Dodge!" I never noticed that wordplay, and I've seen this 10 million times.

Incredibly wrong.

The subtext of this scene is subtle, but Old Man Marley and his son fell out over the mummy lab, and Marley is in fact attempting to lure Kevin into said lab. Most people don't pick up on this. youtu.be/LaP28N1xtqY?...

Eric Foner, in Second Founding (2019), notes that the only exclusions discussed in the congressional debates on the 14th Amendment citizenship language were newborns in independent Indian nations and those of foreign diplomats, exactly consistent with the traditional understanding of the Amendment

Every AI product feels like the Black Hole Sun music video.

This was pretty close.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers.”

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Sort of incredible that we live in a world where the vice president of the United States is just spewing the sort of horseshit that literal children are traditionally taught is wrong

JD Vance: "I'm a Christian, guys. Like, SO Christian. The most Christian one here, probably." Also JD Vance: "Do not love your neighbor."

Would be very funny if this did not get dismissed and Johnson and Johnson lawyers got to dive into discovery.

New Chotiner interview dropped and it's off to a great start

I've heard a lot of Platner takes that start with, "Look, I think he's a good guy at heart . . ." and I just don't understand what he could have possibly done so far to earn this much trust.

Imagine the Jacobin article if it were revealed that Mills had "1488" tattooed across her ass.

I did the ICE PT challenge this morning. 15 pushups followed by a 1.5 mile run. The run was much harder. I am almost 40 and have only jogged twice this year, both times back in March. So, yes, an out-of-shape, middle aged man can do this, but I don't recommend it.

But we say NO to kings.

Scott Bessant looks exactly like Brad from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Republicans: "Don't call us Nazis!" Also Republicans: "We are Nazis."

Been thinking about this a little more, and increasingly I think the skeleton key for understanding that Ezra Klein interview is the part at the beginning where he says he's scared of Trump.

The Very Concerned People who have been very concerned about political violence for the past couple weeks seem not to be very concerned about this incident where a MAGA guy ran his pickup into an LDS Church, opened fire on the building, and burned it down, killing 4 and wounding 8.

In this interview, Ezra Klein says that the problem with the left--and why they are losing ground politically--is cancel culture. The left is too censorious. The left is not winning winnable voters because they refuse to engage with them. This is silly. 3 reasons below.

Today, we took my in laws into Chicago. My father in law is a lifelong Midwesterner, but he'd never been. He couldn't stop raving about how vibrant it was. He's not even a right winger, he just had no idea what Chicago is really like. Cities are nice, actually!
