The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Dropping him into the volcano

This is pretty amazing writing. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Sending astronauts to the moon isn’t inspiring. Sending billionaires to the bottom of the ocean in a shoddily made submersible is.

Cooking competition, but all the judges are sloppy eaters, just complete fucking messes.

I've seen enough people walk into this freeway convenience store to come to the conclusion that much of America has hip and back problems.

Dear companies, stop sending me coupons that expire. I am a very lazy consumer.

Does Luis Gonzalez know baseball or what?!

What is the main difference between America and England? I think it simply boils down to, in America, a quadruple amputee corn hole champion will murder you, but in England a vaginal weightlifter sex coach will merely assault you. Something to consider, once again.

What I wouldn't give to peel this seal

I have been trying to make too much food without ingredients, I guess. Perhaps from now on I will only use ingredients. My bad!

I'm glad more places are reporting on it, but calling it "Mysterious" is kind of funny, like it's the Loch Ness Monster of trading patterns. Trading sure gets spooky when the fog of war hits the marsh.

Checking in from Chugwater, where I have.

there are real experts on the Iran War geopolitics & geographies & i'm very far from one! (the human & ecological costs that people in that region are paying/will pay are unconscionable) but: there is something like a force field of empire in my back yard bsky.app/profile/inqu... (lazy 🧵 incoming)

Criminal to not tell us how many skips the winners had.

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

#OtD 15 Mar 1973 after a prison guards' walkout against rehabilitation reforms, inmates at Walpole prison began running it themselves, improving conditions and eliminating violence. This ended when state troopers allowed guards to regain control stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8704...

graphic scene here at the f1 as turbo teen the teen that could morph into a sports car has crashed into a wall and exploded like that beached whale they stuffed with dynamite

NOT NOW, MYSTERIOUS LARGE STEEL CYLINDER

"Oh no the intelligence meter is on empty," I'll say, but by then I will be too stupid to remember how to fill it. Eventually, my legs will forget how to hold me up. I'll fall to the ground and, after a few days, I will die very stupidly, like an idiot. All because I didn't pay the intelligence bill

"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought: You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another though. The process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts" - Lynn Hunt

Just called Schiff and the person on the line sounded quite sad.

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

Booker watches Starmer and Labor's opinion ratings plummet after shifting to the right and thinks his party should also move in the same direction. Nobody is asking for this! Incredible opposition party we have in this country.

They could have just used AI to make videos of Iran being bombed and Trump wouldn't have known the difference. He would have come out and said we bombed, "the hell of out that place," and no reporters around would have pushed back and we all could have moved on. But no, the ghouls gotta ghoul.

Crazy how different Ant-Man and Human Centipede are story-wise.

Classic Trump ploy to make it bad in every way so as to prevent critics from consolidating on a particular line

I too have a bank account. Perhaps some of it could go there?

trans rights you fucking assholes

Wow

Finally someone is saying it

After the exuberance of Braydons and Keighleyshleys and such, I think the pendulum will turn toward short, brutalist names. The children of Gen Alpha will all have caveman names. Grog, Zub, Cronk, etc

The night Donald Trump Jr. finds his dad dead and, before calling an EMT, puts all his money on "Yes" for the Kalshi "Will Donald Trump Be Dead Tomorrow?" bet.

It’s weird we never do stuff like this with other terrible decisions. Newspaper doesn’t run “I saw a half empty can of Mountain Dew left on the street and drank the rest of that mfer”, and the guy who drank the Mountain Dew is only hurting himself

My Quebecois grandfather might have succeeded in normalizing it if he had not insisted on close-talking to you immediately after finishing it.

There's a certain jazzy piano riff they play on Unsolved Mysteries segments about con men that's much lower stakes than their usual music and lets you know that on some level they condone what these con men have done.
