I mean they clearly weren’t right about what motivates Americans to vote for a candidate. 🤷‍♂️

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is obviously one of the most influential horror movies of all time. It basically reinvented horror as a film genre and - along with Black Christmas from the same year and Halloween a few years later - essentially created all the conventions we associate with slashers. (1/5)

Hot take: if the government isn’t providing anything for its citizens anyway, it might as well be shut down until such time that it does.

Libs are freaking out in the comments because Lorenz… pointed out the true fact that it was Biden and a bunch of Democrats who pushed through the Tiktok ban in the first place. Also Obama signed a law that allowed for ICE to do what it’s currently doing. We can’t be afraid to own when Dems fuck up.

The lineup to the Riyadh Comedy Festival is funny because it's like I'm super disappointed in... one or two of you. But the rest make perfect sense.

@roseyroseamund.bsky.social A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” showing Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday.

its a good thing that he sent a bunch of self incriminating messages that fit the narrative that the FBI made before they knew anything about anything

Any obituary of Charlie Kirk that doesn’t mention he was an openly racist, openly misogynistic, fascist white supremacist who was single-handedly responsible for radicalizing more young people to become Nazis than any one person since Kurt Gruber is dishonest.

It’s wild that we all just sort of forgot that Trump’s first impeachment was over a phone call to Volodymyr Zelenskyy where he conditioned US military aid against a then-not-yet-invading Russia on Ukrainian intelligence helping him to smear Joe Biden. And now he’s supposed to help end the war?

Why is it every time I click into the comments under a news article on this app it’s always just a handful of boomer liberals saying “What an embarrassing fool!” or “Cheeto covefe!” instead of actual discourse or, you know, funny jokes?

Fantastic Four is the most okay superhero movie I’ve seen in a while. It’s aggressively fine. The performances are all fine, the effects are fine, the aesthetic and art direction is fine, the story is fine, it’s fine. What I’m trying to say is it’s the best Fantastic Four movie ever. Yay?

I think we need to come to terms with the fact that major institutions are being actively co-opted and/or destroyed by fascism and big tech, and start collectively building grassroots alternatives.

Yeah and a basic skincare routine shouldn’t scare David Ellison either but here we are.

Today I am gaslighting Chat GPT into believing there was a third Star Wars trilogy helmed by Paul Thomas Anderson and Zack Snyder involving a resurrected white-suited Vader, Darth Jar Jar, and Gene Hackman tastelessly resurrected with CGI to play an imperial officer.

Everybody needs to go see the new Naked Gun NOW. I literally can’t remember the last time I laughed this hard and this often at a movie. Maybe Anchorman?

If you want to know how we got here, I highly recommend you read up on Marbury vs Madison, because the legal loophole fuckery John Marshall pulled to establish Judicial Review is kind of insane.

I don’t know, a NYT editorial clutched it’s pearls at the hypothetical possibility that some of the people who went to the child rape island weren’t there to rape children and might be lumped in with their child raping friends unjustly! And then the internet might be mean to them!

This is quite possibly the quintessential writing of our shared miserable existence of our time.

This is how you tease a movie. On paper Supergirl isn’t the obvious next step. People might think “We just saw Superman, why do we care about his distaff counterpart?” And then she crashes in drunk and calls Supes a bitch. And then this. And suddenly, people want to see what she’s all about.

How about we try nominating a dem who supports ALL human rights for once, and the centrists can hold their nose and vote for that person instead of the usual?

We’re done “voting blue no matter who.” It hasn’t worked. It never works. It just gives us shittier and shittier candidates moving further and further to the right until the “no matter who” ends up being one of the guys we were initially fighting against.

dems honestly should not wait till the midterms to dump their shitty congressional leadership

He won't have one! Ben Grimm is Jewish!

I can’t wait to play with the Thing’s Fantastic Four skin.

This is a better use of these things than Starlink is.

There’s something very telling about the fact Superman unabashedly celebrates goofier comic book things like Krypto, hypnoglasses, and pocket universes while the upcoming Fantastic Four movie’s main trailer gag involves a self-conscious deprecation of one of its characters’ famous catchphrases.

Donner and Reeve made you believe a man could fly while Gunn and Corenswet are making everyone believe a 21st Century Superman movie doesn’t have to be a boring depressing slog

Matt Reeves finally gave us a ripped from the pages comic accurate Batman and now James Gunn has done the same for Superman. All I need is for Lanterns to be good and I can die happily.

Why’d people vote for Obama? Because he was anti-establishment and he promised them tangible benefits. Why’d people vote for Trump? Because he was anti-establishment and he promised them tangible benefits. Who will win in 2028? The anti-establishment candidate who promises tangible benefits.

Voters in Jeffries’ district: Bet.

The biggest question I have is who exactly Alan Dershowitz, lawyer for both Donald Trump and OJ Simpson, thinks he’s speaking for when he says “We”.

How many apes do I need for a down payment?

I’m a manager at my job at 33. I’m the Head of Post Production at 33. Most of the people I know in management and director level roles at this point are in their 30s. This person clearly hasn’t been in an office recently.

Do we think the DNC will take note of the fact that the Democratic Socialist endorsed by AOC and Bernie beat the centrist sexpest career politician endorsed by Bill Clinton? No? They’re still gonna roll out Bill Clinton in 2028 to give a 40 minute speech endorsing Hakeem Jeffries or whatever? Cool

Democrats are in a primarying mood, and these 128 House members should be *real* concerned right now.

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

On the one hand, this is damning. Every single Democrat should have been lock step in impeaching this war criminal. On the other hand, this is the minority of Democrats. And Jeffries and Pelosi both voted with the minority. Which means the party leadership are vulnerable to a well-earned mutiny.

It’s weird rewatching Buffy & Angel in 2025 and seeing both a young Pedro Pascal and a young Jeremy Renner pop up in each show as one-and-done guest characters.

To be clear: yes. Yes it was. Normalizing unilateral presidential military action was the biggest failing of the Cold War, but every president who did so - from Johnson to Reagan to both Bushes, Clinton, Obama, and now Trump - violated the constitution and should have been impeached.

dems in congress should impeach for war actions even if they don't have the votes. they should protest ICE even if the polling is in favor of talking about something else. they are leaders not followers.

I’ve been pretty staunch in my support of lesser evils in the fight against literal fascism. Despite a multitude of misgivings, I voted Clinton, Biden, and Kamala. Seeing this shit again and again and again, however, makes me really question the validity of supporting a party that hates my vote.

I think progressives should get on board with boycotting CNN.

The most insidious part of LLMs that I feel a lot of people overlook is the way they’re designed to talk like people. They could’ve been designed to respond in any number of tones, instead they have just enough personality and pseudo-emotions to feel semi-human… which makes them feel trustworthy.

This entire NYT Mag piece is an unhinged and depressing reckoning for our time. But the below quote just about gave me an aneurysm. If you “can’t function” without AI, it’s not an endorsement of how good the technology is but an indictment of how lazy, stupid, and complacent you are.

It’s extremely clear from the Elon/Trump fallout that there is no actual Republican idealogy any more. There’s just the MAGA-fascist cult and the techno-fascist cult, and now that their uneasy alliance is dead both cults are scrambling to redefine themselves.

I don’t think any company is as consistently inefficient at crowd control as GameStop
