I haven't seen the new Di Caprio movie but as I understand from posts on here, it's about this

goes to the same barber as Steven J. Lockjaw

add another condition to ending the shutdown: seat Adelita Grijalva

Eddington (Aster, 2025)

AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations”

feels like this will get a big cheer every time a rep theater screens OBAA over the next 25 years

a few small beers

hakeem it’s a kitchen table issue if they’re deploying troops to the fucking house

we’ll have to see the inside but looks like a great place for the trials

let’s fucking gooooooooooo

Related to previous post: I think this gets into Sandel's point about meritocracy - so many of our SV captains of industry are totally convinced they are gods of engineering when in reality, they were the first player in a winner-take-all market.

the Boston ABC station aired a gross ICE recruitment ad aimed at law enforcement between the local news and the broadcast

Chotiner: You've written a lot about the band Weezer over the years. Me: That's right. Chotiner: And The Blue Album is their best work as you've said. Me: 100%. Always has been. Chotiner: In 1996 in a letter to your high school girlfriend you wrote... Me: Can we go off the record real quick?

made my wife two gin and tonics and now she’s trying to figure out who she’s seen more - 311 or Dave Matthews Band

Again Bouie from the top rope

credit to Michael Stipe in the 90s for seeing a trans woman on TV in the 90s and understanding that there was a dignity in what she was trying to do, even if nobody else could see it

guy who just rewatched V For Vendetta, “gotta be honest, this is giving me real V for Vendetta vibes”

everything is shit, post warbirds

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

this country used to make movies!

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Kittens 2. Going to a movie by yourself 3. Halloween 4. Carrie Fisher in The Empire Strikes Back 5. Gin

The question of which side tolerates and celebrates political violence begins and ends with the fact Trump's first act as President...supported by JD Vance, Pam Bondi and all of FoxNews...was to pardon this guy for gouging a cop's eyes on camera. And 1000s more just like him including pedos & Nazis.

you can’t have a conversation about the best soundtracks of the 90s without mentioning the Angus soundtrack

There has got to be legal consequences for conduct in this administration

is this anything

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

*TRUMP: WE HAVE KIRK SHOOTER SUSPECT *ADDS: WILL “TARIFF JAPAN VERY STRONGLY” IF CHRIS PRATT LEFT OUT OF MARIO BROS SEQUEL

it was a pretty uneven season of television, but i’ll really miss seeing Captain Pike and the crew of the Enterprise every week #startrek #strangenewworlds

i seem to be more affected by baby diegos death than i realized

Ezra Klein is trying in this column to argue that Kirk was doing politics correctly if you just ignore the content of what he was advocating. That he was contributing to American democracy by arguing civilly for the subjugation of women, gay people, trans people. It simply doesn’t work.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

no

Oh come on

aside from very early memories of the animated series on Nickelodeon, I would watch the start of every Reading Rainbow episode just in case it was the Star Trek episode

oh good

not to point out the obvious, but all this shit is racialized. Democratic voters are seen as inherently less *valid* than Republican ones, and because Republicans have a more or less permanent majority among white Americans, they're unconsciously (or not so unconsciously, nowadays) the 'norm'

reporters and pundits increasingly live inside a hyperreal simulacrum alternate reality mediated by twitter and other social media, in which the big scandal of covid was that blue states had mask mandates for too long and that we didn't widely reopen 6 months before vaccines were available

Unlawful military action in South America and now this? We’re headed for the Clancy Zone!

This is how you became a Jedi until the prequels retconned it.

So. Central Rain is also one of the five best songs ever written

(Reading Tom Clancy on the beach) me: so Ryan was confirmed by the senate but the 747 hit the capitol before he could take the oath my wife: classic

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, easy

this is Garm Bel Iblis?

I can

when it happens, it's gonna be like the end of prohibition for a week

Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”

met one of my moms cousins today and she said I reminded her of Captain Pike and honestly it is the best compliment I’ve received in the last 25 years

the best Radiohead song
