One of the happiest moments of my life and just another kindness from him in a life full of them. What a tragedy it is that he’s gone so early. An incredibly versatile and beautiful actor, a wonderful, funny writer (read his book!), and by literally all accounts, a great person. Moe mai rā, sir.

Merely abolishing ICE is the moderate, restrained position. The moral position is prosecutions, a truth commission, and fundamental constitutional reform so a rogue court run by extremists can never again approve secret police death saques occupying our cities.

State Dept spokesperson Tommy Pigott: "If the ICC continues to try to threaten our sovereignty, they will know the full power of American resolve" (are we going to, like, bomb the International Criminal Court?)

Rashida Jones and Will McCormack met decades ago, when McCormack's sister set them up on a date. It didn't work out as a romantic pairing, but it was the start of a long-running creative partnership. n.pr/3SXlzpi

The Epstein files “raise serious questions regarding the extent of the bank’s relationship with Epstein, and your knowledge of these ties,” Warren told Dimon.

Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.

New hyperscale data centers can’t set up shop in New York for up to a year now that Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has signed the nation’s first statewide moratorium. But a bill passed by the state legislature that could restrict even more developments still awaits her signature.

Overwhelming response to this column today. Pretty clear people are fed up with the gambling takeover of major sports - and that fans support Kylian Mbappe in his opposition to the corporate bookies. montrealgazette.com/sports/socce...

Really crazy to learn that JK Rowling once worked at Amnesty International as a bilingual researcher but she was fired because she was too busy writing books during work hours instead of documenting war crimes in French speaking Africa.

once again saying: Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

I don’t think it’s good that ICE is on a murder spree

Jane Campion remembers Sam Neill: ‘He was radiating peace, beaming love’

Social media can make a song go viral — even push it up the pop charts — seemingly overnight. Perhaps it's not surprising that some influencers are being paid to promote music without disclosing it.

The expanded World Cup allowed FIFA to introduce a new seeding system that placed the world's top teams in opposite corners of the knockout bracket. Now, the semifinals are both heavyweight matchups. n.pr/44Z9ZfR

Thou shalt not whitewash a Senator’s lifelong racism and warmongering. You will all be remembered accordingly for your words and deeds.

specifying the kind of violence helps clarify policy. some (not me) might argue an agency that pursues its targets with excessive and deadly force might be able to be reformed into something better. that ICE is a metastasized threat to everyone underlines the argument that it must be abolished.

The whole nation is unified in demanding ICE be permanently abolished! Keep hammering away at them! There are far more of us than there are these rogue terrorists. We will defeat them!!

Now rewatching Event Horizon (1997)! 📽

"Jurassic Park is a near-perfect movie, and Neill’s work is a big reason why: He just sells the overwhelming wonder of it all so precisely here that you can’t help but believe what you’re seeing even as you know it’s all Hollywood hokum." And so much more.

In memoriam Sam Neill, 1947–2026. "My brother, Michael… is an academic and has devoted his life to scholarship; my life seems trivial by comparison. Bastard."

The death toll from a huge fire at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao music bar in Bangkok has increased to 30, officials say, and more than 70 people were injured. UPDATE: A previous version of this post was deleted because it erroneously stated that 70 people remain hospitalized.

Oh no. Unlike *some* people who died this weekend, this man brought joy www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Nicole Kidman, who starred alongside Sam Neill in ‘DEAD CALM,’ pays tribute to the late actor. “We met when I was just 18 and he took me under his wing and we stayed friends for life. He was charming, kind, funny and intelligent. He will be greatly missed, and my heart goes out to his family.”

Sam Neill did everything, from the kind of movies Christopher Walken made to the kind Tom Hanks made. He was stellar in every role, and people who knew of him loved him like he was Jimmy Stewart. That's a career.

Ten years ago this whole statement would have just sounded like rambling nonsense.

I saw this and had to share.

Laura Dern pays tribute to Sam Neill. “Sam was my beloved lifetime friend. He showed me the depths of loyalty, protectiveness and love, always with the driest wit. He was a true and noble gentleman, wrapped up in my dream leading man. I will love you forever, Dr. Alan Grant.”

“A growing number of police jurisdictions have walked away from Flock since 2025, including Mountain View, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara County, South Pasadena, Flagstaff, and Hillsborough, North Carolina.”

I hate this game!

imagine coming up with musical gold with the melody and lyrics up through "Do, a deer, a female deer Re, a drop of golden sun Mi, a name I call myself Fa, a long, long way to run So, a needle pulling thread" and then just completely phoning it in once you got to "La"

They put explosive poop diarrhea bacteria in the salads because the GOP deep state wants to force us to eat Arby's.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Based Nolan, go see The Odyssey

When asked about online backlash against casting decisions in The Odyssey, Nolan calmly reminded interviewers "I spent 10 years of my life dealing with Batman."

Press junkets are always abysmal and almost unwatchable cringe. But this was fantastic. Even the actors were genuinely into it. youtu.be/G2scnWbybYY?...

The Odyssey is hitting the headlines for many reasons, but in possibly his most incredible uncredited performance yet, Andy Serkis' work as the Trojan Horse is, ironically, not at all wooden.
