Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Devastated to report that the furniture I ordered is being delivered by FedEx.

I went home and began bundling my old newspapers. But suddenly the pile fell; I was trapped. Let this be a lesson to recycle frequently. For the next two months, I stayed alive by eating my mother's delicious preserves and maintained my sanity by dribbling a nearby basketball with my one free hand.

Mel Brooks and David Lynch on the set of The Elephant Man, 1980

They're going to set it on fire aren't they

This is why physical media is still so important.

But! In a rare "double-whammy" decision, the Justices also declare that it is illegal not to own a gun.

not to be a cop but i almost saw the cyclist in front of me get annihilated bc he insisted on trying to skip out on a red light. if i followed his lead i def would have died. i know it's morally superior to ride a bike but everyone benefits from everyone else behaving predictably in traffic

Happy 100th birthday to Mel Brooks

Slippy, no!

PlayStation is deleting 551 purchased movies from its customers' accounts, reminding us nothing digital is ever truly ours https://kotaku.com/playstation-store-movies-digital-studio-canal-terminator-2000711013

this is truly the only way. conflating “immersion” with expensive 3D puppetry, wannabe film bro mocap fantasies and lifelike pore design is a big reason we’re in this shit

I honestly wonder how much of it is just because he makes them look bad.

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

You didn’t write shakespeare’s plays. You didn’t paint the sistine chapel. Those are not “your” accomplishments because you share a skin color with the person who actually did them.

"Long story short, she shot me five times."

I get that there's reactionary nostalgia for an aristocratic Culture to order things downward, but enough is enough already.

This is a party that will shrug and say "yeaaahhh sorry nothing we can do about the targeted deportation and murder of ethnic minorities but listen stop talking about taxing the rich and arresting war criminals so much you're rocking the boat." And I don't think I want to vote for that

You know they control all three branches of the federal government, right?

Lots to say about this quote from Phillipson but I think a key element is how cis people are understood as 'biological' and therefore as having material needs (services, spaces) where as trans people are an 'identity' and therefore only have cultural/recognitional needs ('not being pilloried').

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great. #FilmSky Sam Raimi directed this comic book style western with a lot of fancy camera work. Sharon Stone insisted that Russell Crowe play her romantic lead in his first US film and paid Leo DiCaprio’s salary personally. Not bad!

"our"

Technically, they’re Remains now.

Didn't they pass it by way, way more than enough to override the veto?

They should invent a kind of company that isn’t a data company

one thing you can see on TikTok etc is that there are a lot of young, low info people whose primary exposure to the concept of antisemitism is as a bad faith smear, and my guess is that’s not good.

Oh my god, it's not even fencing that blocks the view. We might have to rename the Streisand Effect.

That oughta stop people from talking about it.

There are so many things to say but if you can't handle a grad class saying things like this drop out. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/u...

lol and furthermore lmao

When I played the Beautiful Game, all we had was greenies, steroids and something they called The Clear

Yes yes yes. I'd go a step further and say that in addition to ego and narcissism, sadism - the active joy in hurting people under your power - is a big factor as well.

In a better world this could have been the best way to get into PC gaming and instead we live in hell

Yeah that's called "not going to Mass."

Holy shit I just realized I put an e on the end of Geordi's name, why didn't anyone tell me

what to announce when you first enter the Acela quiet car

"i'm a committed catholic. also i waited six years to baptize my child"

relevant to an email i just got

noticing the clock and casually wondering whether i forgot about the game

Well this explains quite a bit about the last few years of “what the absolute fuck, Gillibrand” that’s been going on.

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.
