The more I think about the Paramount/WBD sale the more I think…it’s not a good deal for anyone? Maybe Ellison and Zaslav but that’s about it. And even in the case of Ellison, I think it may be fine now but it likely won’t be later. Long term all Paramount gets is WB’s debt.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Give it a year or two. That 108 billion debt Paramount is now in over Warner Bros among the amount they already have over Skydance will bite them in the ass so hard

I’m sick of rich assholes

I REALLY hope so

This would be so so bad

Graham Platner is still super sus

Is anyone running against John Fetterman???

My biggest hope for the midterms is that Dems who take big donations from PACS and won’t commit to Abolishing ICE/DHS lose their primaries.

politicians get away with bullshit because the vast majority of people let them. folks have expectations below the basement.

He has baggage that the base will hate. And I don’t think the base will necessarily be looking for the kinds of things that used to win people primaries.

It’s been five years since the best live action Superman suit debuted in Superman & Lois.

Part of the problem with Gavin Newsom is that he's a stupid asshole who listens to stupid asshole right-wing podcasts and invites those stupid asshole right-wingers on his podcast and all of this stupid asshole influence leads him to believe and say stupid asshole right-wing talking points.

Pretty (darkly) funny that the public rehab of male hockey players, based solely on the cultural omnipresence of fictional hockey players beloved by women, ended after about a minute and half with a very public reminder that real-life male hockey players are misogynistic bags of rotting dogshit

Criterion releasing K Pop Demon Hunters is a net benefit for everyone - those who like the movie will get a really good home release of it, those who don’t care about the movie will benefit from Criterion having a certified money maker that they can use to help fund more obscure/niche releases

Gavin Newsom is the World's most electable man, the greatest since John Kerry and Michael Dukakis.

BAFTAs

If there was a primary in my state between a corporate dem and a guy with a Nazi tattoo, I would not vote in that primary.

Jesus

It seems like people are being extremely normal and not at all irrational about the Texas Senate primary. I don’t live in Texas so it doesn’t matter what I think. Crockett and Talerico seem to me more similar than either camp is willing to admit.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Mr Cameron, are also against the monopolization that a Paramount acquisition would create? Or is it just that of Netflix? Is Mike Lee against the Paramount sale as well? Is he as concerned about that as he is the Netflix sale? www.cnbc.com/2026/02/19/n...

All of us saw this and immediately thought it sounded like some shit democrats would do lol

Even AOC is still on Twitter, which is dumb

Very hard to get excited for a spinoff movie of a TV show I don’t really like

I have criticisms of AOC but I think she should run for President in ’28 (if possible). I’m more aligned with her than any of the other likely candidates and I think if she wants to be President, it’s now or never. newrepublic.com/article/2065...

“Voting is choosing the conditions you and your comrades organize under, and choosing your least powerful foe” is really the predominate way any leftist should view electoral politics.

Jesus are lefties now pro-death penalty? I thought we had agreed capital punishment was bad regardless of the crime.

I want them to treat Trump’s impeachment the way the GOP treated the ACA. They tried over and over to repeal it regardless of whether they had the votes. That’s the energy I’m looking for.

Still wish Democrats would just keep throwing articles of impeachment at Trump until one sticks.

There are fair criticisms of AOC just as there are of all politicians. But she would by far be my pick in the likely 2028 field of candidates (unless someone else pops up that I’m not aware of).

2 things that I think are true: 1) most politicians suck 2) elections have consequences

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

This would be, in every way, worse than a Netflix-WB deal. No point in preserving the integrity of the theatrical experience for a company funded by a right-wing ideologue. I don't believe there's a world in which Larry Ellison funds One Battle or Sinners. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/b...

I don’t know. I thought WUTHERING HEIGHTS was fun and entertaining 🤷🏻‍♂️

Watching Toy Story 2 with the kids and explaining that there used to be stores devoted entirely to toys.

It’s kinda funny how corporate dems have been getting mad about progressives challenging their record. After losing the podcast bros, they’ve been doing more podcasts and YouTube shows but they don’t like being asked real questions and follow ups on those shows.

For Democrats to really support democracy they need to end super delegates, front loading of southern states & rule changes to benefit preferred candidates. Allow 3rd parties in general election debates, cease efforts to keep them off ballots & support reforms including ranked choice voting.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

i think many dems should run. i think they should beat up on each other during the primary. i think the idea that a primary should be a kumbaya session and a tough primary hurts you in the general is bullshit. (citation: obama v clinton, trump v bush, reagan v bush)

Yes to all of this. I voted reluctantly for Clinton, Biden and Harris. So I’m the asshole if I draw the line at Rahm Emanuel, Gavin Newsom or Pete Buttigieg?

After watching the new Mission Impossible a lot at home, I still really like it but there’s a lot of fat in that movie. I skip through a lot. The sequence in the Sevastapol is well crafted mostly but pretty boring. Not nearly as engaging as a similar sequence that was in ROGUE NATION

I mean I think requiring agents to take off their masks is a waste of time when what needs to happen is 1) Kristi Noem is impeached 2) DHS/ICE defunded 3) DHS/ICE abolished

If you have any information about this whatsoever, I’m marisakabas.04 on Signal

I need journalists to ask Hollywood actors why they’re in pro-AI commercials.

It’s just so telling how Senate Democrats are here negotiating with the GOP while the GOP is trying to get them thrown in prison. The Dems aren’t fighting in the same war the rest of us have been witnessing.
