Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

There’s an influencer who recently said when Bernie Sanders rails against “the establishment” he means Black people. You know there’s a substantive conversation to be had about anti-blackness in leftist spaces but this is an absurd take.

Ridiculous attacks are being thrown at Abdul El-Sayed right now. I wish so many left wing commentators hadn’t spent the last 6 months deflecting criticism from Platner. They’re right to dismiss the smears against Sayed, but they lost some credibility when they chose to do the same for Platner.

Hey

Ta Nehisi Coates talked about how if Harris had parted w/ Biden on Palestine and still lost, she would have lost with honor. I agree and I think losing with honor is underrated. If you’re gonna lose the least you can do is stand for something.

It’s morally reprehensible and bad strategy. Which unfortunately seems to sum up the dems governing philosophy.

“The left is going to lose these elections for us,” say the people who lost 2000, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2024 — often because they were fixated on the “winning” strategy of punching left and wooing center right voters

Obama stood ON his party's 2008 consensus... civil unions was the default Dem position. Acton is breaking DOWNWARD from hers: only 2 House Dems voted for the sports ban. Zero senators. No state party endorses them. He taught the party nothing new. A win for her teaches Dems transphobia works.

Wild to drop this endorsement in the middle of Amy Acton's exploding controversy over calling trans girls boys.

Whats worse... A single Democratic loss in a statewide race to a right-wing governor? Or a Democratic Party win in Ohio that uses transphobia to get there, teaching dems across the country that this is a new acceptable tactic? The latter results in no party left to fight for us.

I think in the not too distant future the only superhero movies that will get made are: Spider-Man Batman Avengers Superman And maybe X-Men and Wonder Woman

It seems significant to me that Chris Rabb called out James Carville in no uncertain terms. Basically saying a lot of shit the online left has been screaming into the void for awhile now. Rabb is not a competitive district, he’s going to congress in January.

9:11 AM? This can’t be real

There’s a reason AOC endorsed Abdul-El Sayed and not Graham Platner.

It’s fair to point out that what Mamdani said about not expelling AIPAC backed from the Democratic Party is something that the gotten anyone else screamed at by the left. I think he’s right too. But those of us on the left should interrogate how we conduct ourselves and how we handle disagreements.

It’s nice having another rock solid Nolan joint in what was otherwise a non remarkable summer movie season

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

ARRIVAL is very good

If I’m Andy Beshear, fam, just declare the election. Mitch is in hell.

The pencil trick in The Dark Knight comes to mind. “Zero would be nice” in Oppenheimer. Eames tripping Arthur in the chair in Inception. I’ve always thought Nolan is really good at levity.

I think Ossoff is one of the better communicators in the Democratic Party but his voting record in the senate is a concern.

lfg: "Nolan's recent works—Interstellar, Dunkirk and Tenet among them—feel consumed by these primal fears of society eating itself through climate change and war. In keeping with these fixations, his latest plays like a rousing culmination of modern nightmares echoed by the Bronze Age Collapse..."

Was really hoping Spider-Man, Superman and Batman all having movies come out the same year would be a thing. Not a big deal of course in the grand scheme of things.

Is Ellison an even bigger idiot than Zsaslav?

If the Ellisons can put Bari in charge of CBS News then I should be hired to greenlight and cast all DC projects since we have the same level of experience. I would also do a better job.

best blockbusters of the decade: Oppenheimer Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) Creed III John Wick Chapter 4 The Suicide Squad Guardians Vol 3 Godzilla Minus One The Batman Sinners Superman K-Pop Demon Hunters Disclosure Day M: I Dead Reckoning Spider-Verse 2

I’m worried about Haley Stevens. She clearly sucks and I was hoping Michigan would elect one senator who isn’t a jackass.

Don’t make me defend Jay-Z

I hope Gunn and company are willing to make this a long movie to accommodate the larger cast. The Justice Gang in the first movie could have used more screen time. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Even for the last couple of years I was on that platform people were saying “Twitter isn’t real life.” Now some figures seem to be implying “Bluesky isn’t real life but twitter is?”

I’m watching BIRDS OF PREY again. I’m convinced it’s among the best blockbusters of the decade so far.

Reposting this today for no particular reason:

Oh we’re pretending everyone thought Obama was electable in’07/‘08?

I saw a video on YouTube titled “Tenet is misunderstood” and I think that might be because Tenet is incomprehensible. Nolan is my guy and there are things I like about Tenet but I don’t think it works overall. If a movie is that hard to understand, you can’t blame the audience for being like “huh?”

Lol but also Michigan Dems, I beg of you…don’t nominate this buffoon.

Don't let copaganda fool you — police violence is not tied to their safety. In 2025, the vast majority of killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported.

“Paramedics had a very short window to save Sen. Graham, and thankfully they did not make it in time,” said George Washington University Hospital cardiologist Dr. Eric Fallstaff

I would be curious to see him do either comedy or horror. Don’t have anything more specific than that in mind.

BREAKING: My office is suing Paramount/Warner Bros to block their proposed $110 billion merger. Combining the two Hollywood giants would unlawfully reduce competition in the film and tv industry and raise prices for consumers. You shouldn't have to pay the price of corporate greed.

X-MEN 97 is still really good. Watched the first 2 episodes of season 2. I missed X-MEN. Not really interested in the upcoming MCU reboot but it’s a really good property and I hope this show goes on for a bit.

BREAKING-We are challenging the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger because it threatens competition, will harm theater goers and TV viewers, and will undermine distribution of movies. As the new host of Sundance, Colorado will do our part to protect access to film distribution. coag.gov/press-releas...

policing problem <=> gun problem <=> car problem <=> ad infinitum: like a tri-connected gear connection in a massive machine of violence & death, paid for by all of us, all the time & every place

A coalition of state attorneys general have sued Paramount to stop its $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, a sweeping legal challenge to a merger that threatens to reshape Hollywood amid the absence of the Trump administration’s intervention in big deals. bit.ly/4wJqybG

im gonna have a hell of a day when bush dies and all the democrats are rushing to praise him. luckily ill be drunk and dancing in the street.

Journalists, you’re smart people. Find a way not to do this

Primary every Democrat who releases a statement about how sad they are to lose their good buddy Lindsey fucking Graham
