Sean O'Brien, come on down *TEAMSTERS CALL ON US DOJ TO BLOCK PARAMOUNT, WBD ACQUISITION

Showing this to myself in 2022 and having an aneurysm

if iran has drones that can fly 7500 miles undetected and unintercepted, we should probably give up now

The Qataris have no pizza experience. They've never been in the pizza category.

Republicans can’t be doing this when they’re walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they don’t want the Mad King to yell at them bsky.app/profile/tito...

Want to see a dead body?

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Ms Kamlager-Dove is my Rep and she just asked Kristi if she was boning some dude on the plane bed with her husband in the audience and never have I been more proud of my vote. South LA don't fuck around

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Among the many reasons it’s so cool to see SINNERS clean up at awards shows is that it’s truly a Movie Ass Movie

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

New 'Ride the D' Metro shirts sold out almost immediately. Because of course they did

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

It’s bad for motion pictures, and it’s bad for America.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

characteristically good work from Serwer. again saying: we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people. It is true that in the time between now and Woke 2, they are going to hurt a lot of people, some very badly. There’s no way around that. But then, again, Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people.

Why do Caltrans projects take so long and cost so much? A multi-year study in the 5th round of outreach to consider creating a project to build bus lanes for a few miles.

oh word???? no shit????? for real????????

the Bonica-Grumbach thesis is doing an amazing job and is being recognized more and more

The Sun-Times and WBEZ have published about 20 stories and audio pieces this week about the Rev. Jesse Jackson, showing how his civil rights work intersected with film, education, Chicago mayors and much more. So, here's an ICYMI thread with some highlights. 🧵

90 minute compilation of adorable monkey baby Punch getting his ass beat by every animal in the zoo with soundtrack by alien ant farm

ICYMI from yesterday: Rev. Jesse Jackson had an athlete’s swagger and confidence and he expected to win, which explained so much about his life and life’s work. I wrote about some of that here.

“.. They committed trillions of dollars .. stacked their boards with MAGA friends, abandoned progressive causes .., brought gilded gifts to the White House .. “.. But political pendulums swing both ways ..” 👀 @semafor.com www.semafor.com/newsletter/0...

Yes we absolutely can

On some level I feel like “Disney parks are very expensive and the lines for the big rides are still oppressively long” is part of the affordability debate and people’s dissatisfaction with the economy.

it's simple: i see Mike Alstott highlights, i share Mike Alstott highlights

You LOVE to hear it. #AEWGrandSlam #AEWCollision

Ohhhhhhhh Ilia threw five interceptions

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes

YES HAHAHA YES

"it was taken as read that anti-immigrant sentiment was a function of economic anxiety: indeed, that was the instant explanation offered for Trump’s victory in 2016" - yes, that's what several US papers said, but that was instantly disproven by the actual facts. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This man is a thief, coward and hypocrite. He argues the U.S. can't afford to protect workers from scammy corporations through the CFPB, but it CAN afford to pay millions and millions robbed from three different agencies to pay for his imperial guard. #stopvought www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

to spell out my anti position (who caaaaares), it's around people using the gen tech in particular to "make" things that are often shitty or, more often than not, disingenuously put forth as though they did the work, that they created it. Craftsmanship and skill gets lost

"Having an online-first strategy should be point number one. And I think she does it very well. And I think a lot of Democrats could learn from her." She's 82 years old:

Hmmm. Louder then.
