REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.

About page rates: "More likely you had to work 10 hours or more per day to make that schedule: $6.25 per hour. Oh, and no benefits. No employer paying social security. Nothing. Take out that money as well, and you are working for something like $5 per hour." colleendoran.substack.com/p/about-thos...

I love seeing this. That politicians or people who step up for public office & study history, practice an Art, engage in the outdoors; have an interior life of depth instead of seeking political affirmation. It makes them better people. Makes them better political leaders. A rounded human being.

Gosh, GLASS ONION (2022) has SUCH a great structure. Just a joy to watch and dissect.

It's my favorite day! It's the 38th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion! 1st incident lasted 25s during the 9PM news on WGN-TV in Chicago; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqge...

It's been SEVEN hours and fifteen days

Mike W Barr wrote some of the great books of the 80s for DC, and it's a tragedy that he's now in ill health and needs assistance. You can show your love and respect for the man's work by clicking the link below gofund.me/e1f381e59

Really wish they still sent out DVDs for awards season screeners. I don't want a code, I want a disc I can load into a machine!

As somebody situated in that exact cultural space at that time, this is *mind blowingly accurate.* The landscape is SO different, it feels like remembering a parallel universe.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The simple answer for why Funko failed is private equity. They were bought by a private equity firm (and later sold to another). Everything private equity touches ends up degraded or destroyed. They squeeze every dollar out and leave the desiccated corpse for someone else to deal with.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

I'm less focused on the death threats than Trump making clear that he demands that "his" soldiers and ICE and CPB need to carry out whatever illegal orders he gives them.

It's hard to overstate what a catastrophe it would be for moviemaking and moviegoers if the Ellisons are allowed to acquire Warner Brothers and merge it with Paramount. I know that rooting for Comcast and/or Netflix sticks in a lot of throats here but those would be far better alternatives... >

IT The cult tv miniseries adaptation of @stephenking.bsky.social's novel (my very first SK book I've read), directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and starring Tim Curry as Pennywise, premiered OTD 35 years ago.

“The president of the United States gave a speech yesterday...I’m going to quote a few sections of his remarks at great length, because if you have not listened to Trump speaking recently, the decline in his cognitive abilities is a bit shocking.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-n...

Yes, let's put *all* the pressure of an ENTIRE GENRE of movie on Supergirl. That seems totally fair, Comic Book Movie Dot Com. comicbookmovie.com/supergirl/dc...

As a man, nothing will turn you into a radical feminist faster than the first time you're shown the twitter mentions and DM requests of literally any woman on the internet. We don't need a Joe Rogan of the left. We need Bryan to see what his sister's LinkedIn Message Requests folder looks like.

Pete Hegseth’s church is part of Wilson’s sect, and Hegseth has praised Wilson.

Does anyone out there in my timeline (or reading this as a repost) know if DC currently has a partner for prose novels? I came up with an idea for an amazing one the other day and I'm trying to figure out where to pitch it. Thanks! (And please repost!)

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation. “It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

KYLO

Trump is ranting barely coherently to McDonald's franchise owners: "The one pilot said, 'skedaddle!' And that thing just turned on its side -- pppph. And it's so unbelievable. And that knocked out Iran nuclear capability."

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

_The American Revolution_ offers a look at how complex and violent — and also inspiring— the American founding was. Getting huge coverage, it may give folks time to digest that complexity as 2026 commences. Premieres tonight + PBS has preview clips of all episodes. www.pbs.org/show/the-ame...

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

We stopped teaching students that intellectual curiousity is the most exciting and important part of college, stopped asking them to not just do the reading but seek extra books, music, films, shows, plays, art for context, stopped demanding not just looking for rubrics to check boxes but seek more.

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

The fact people, allegedly anti-Trump, are trying to dismiss, discredit or ignore a clear indication of blackmail between Epstein and Russia on a sitting President because the content may not be politically convenient for themselves is how the Epstein Network got so powerful in the first place.

You know how you used to be extra nice to the weed guy bringing you an illegal thing, right?

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Your only possible response, when confronted with someone saying this, is to wait for them to finish, firmly state “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” and leave the interview immediately.

Happy to announce our short film, JUST THE JANITOR, received Honorable Mention at last weekend's Billy the Kid Film Festival. The cast and crew are all very proud of this film, and we're thrilled it's gaining recognition across the festival circuit!!!

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

Attorney: Can 13-year olds consent to sex? Republicans: CAN THEY EVER

The Epstein Saga Is the Biggest Political Cover-up in Modern History The release of Epstein's emails reaffirms Donald Trump's close association with the world's most notorious pedophile and reveals the biggest, ongoing political cover-up in modern history. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

This specific one seems significant. drive.google.com/file/d/1aPgr...

This is shocking to me in part because I genuinely did not remember that he was still alive at this time

Anyone out there fluent in Klingon?

I’m gifting this article so you can read it without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

The new Epstein emails are the most incriminating evidence to date on Trump & Epstein & let's be clear, there has been plenty of incriminating evidence for many years. So, can we stop treating this like a process story and start focusing squarely on the likelihood Trump is a pedophile sex criminal.
