The Bob Pepper Dark Tower art is inscribed on the inside of my skull. This is what fantasy looks like to me.

They're going for a different direction when they get to GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE and honestly, I approve.

I’m sitting in a Subway restaurant and it’s 21 degrees outside. An unhoused man came in and sat in a corner, clearly trying not to be seen. The owner came over and I braced myself for an argument, or even a fight. The owner said, “Are you hungry?” We’re still okay. As a species, I mean.

I feel seen. And chastened.

As we celebrate the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, let us continue to work toward his goal of a better future for all.

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

The Abu Ghraib pictures changed public opinion about Iraq. As horrible as this is, maybe it’ll shift the needle.

It really is this simple.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

This is the fucking limit. I had no idea that Amazon drivers AREN'T ALLOWED TO SING wat CRUSH this monopoly wtf my levels were already redlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

“What is it going to take?” is the most effective slogan I’m hearing now. Confront every single person who says they’re “not political” or there’s “lots of crazy stuff happening.” Ask them what it’s going to take? What is their line? Be nice. But get an answer.

So we’re a protection racket, now. Nice country you’ve got there. Shame if anything happened to it.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is. Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

It would be a shame if they had to take Greenland 2: Migration out of theaters. Gerard Butler would be sad.

The thing is, the entire Nobel Committee could vote to change their rules. They could literally write his name in a big book. There would still be an asterisk next to it. Hopefully he thinks about that asterisk every day and night.

If you give them money for training, they will spend it on bullets. Then they will shoot Americans with the bullets. Then they will hold out their hands and say, “More money for bullet training, please. Some of our shots missed.”

Good morning everyone. Honoring Dr, King on his birthday and wishing for the “beloved community” he hoped for. www.history.com/this-day-in-...

This is a little better. The President is declaring war on the entire world, including his own country. Any real gov’t would be holding emergency sessions to impeach him, right now.

This doesn’t belong in editorial, it should be in the paper’s No Shit, Sherlock section. French is right in his opinion but he treats the Greenland invasion like a political decision. He lays out the case for why NATO is good, actually. No shit, Sherlock! The things Trump does are insane! Say so!

Four astronauts safely splashed down on Earth after a medical incident last week prompted their early return from the International Space Station

Hey, you know what is not a capital crime, and is in fact not a crime, and is in fact an incredibly brave and praiseworthy activity?

Reminds me of when the Vice President shot a guy in the face and the guy had to apologize for hurting the veep’s political career.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

One thing can be two things at once.

As the son of a nurse, and someone kept alive by a union (healthcare), I have exactly one word: SOLIDARITY! www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Mmm, the sweet smell of sunbathers marinating in beef tallow as their skin turns to crackling.

Thank God somebody is thinking of the needs of the polluters! Look how much you mean to them! If the last few days hadn’t made that clear. You are an inconvenience to power. So make yourself very, very inconvenient.

Doesn't anybody on this app know what a rhetorical question is?

"the excesses of wokeness" as a broad social phenomenon is one of the most made-up things that ever happened and every single time a progressive person did something obnoxious or mean or stupid it got blown up into evidence of cultural rot, down to individual college students and Goodreads bloggers

100% this!👇

The whole point of Homeland Security, when it was created, was to combine existing law enforcement agencies under a single command the better to escape regulations and restrictions on their power. The thinking at the time was that security>freedom. Obama should have abolished it. He didn’t.

Why is the hug emoji 🫂 like the GRIMMEST emoji? Like the designer was given “emotional intimate embrace” and said: “Yeah, no problem! Two shadowy figures grasp each other in a featureless white void, coming right up!”

It’s one of the better takes on the monster—an anti-human screed as the monster kills indiscriminately, but just wants to be left alone. Recommended for any fan of the creature.

Is he going to put a piece of masking tape over her name and sharpie his own in?

This is tonight in NYC.

100 coffins on The Traitors? I was so close!

Literally the only reason to watch The Traitors is to see Alan Cumming having the time of his life.

Same, Galbot. Collapsed face first while reaching for a bottle of Diet Coke. I know the feeling. There will be no “driving productivity” today.

Just arrest the ICE agent. Let him have a day in court to prove his innocence. Unlike the woman he shot and killed at point blank range.

GILGAMESH THE KING WILL RETURN IN AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

I have heard two content creators this week use the phrase “Be Kind, Rewind” in reference to audio cassette tapes. That’s wrong! “Be Kind, Rewind” referred to VHS video tapes, specifically when rented from a store. This is the problem with being old. Retro stuff just infuriates you!

I always love January because this is the month for movies the studios want to bury—including the best horror movies, typically. Bring ‘em on!

I implore you to hit up CVS and get your flu shot. Please don’t game it with whatever else you heard. It’s real serious and we don’t gave any public health allies in the government now.
