I just want that house. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

"We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and to love the wrong people and die!" And that is the truth. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

I have actually asked someone, "Why didn't you wait for me?" in a very similar context. I was not, in fact, late. (No, it did not work out.) #Moonstruck #TCMParty

"You're a little boy, and you like to be bad." You said a mouthful, Olympia. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

That little hat lift! #Moonstruck #TCMParty

I've been to the Philharmonic, it's pretty incredible. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

A small misstep in an otherwise near perfect movie: I don't think Loretta would listen to smooth jazz, I just don't. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

"I'm gonna kick you till you're dead," is a threat that needs more use. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

Honestly, she should walk out the door the second he says he likes his steak well done. #Moonstruck #TCMParty

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.

Sometimes, I think the People Magazine staff took what happened to Teen Vogue personally and are pounding their chests, yelling, "What now, bitches?" when writing headlines.

#MrSmithGoesToWashington is so quaint. JUST graft on the part of crooked senators and the machine? Some mere self-dealing? Ah, the good old days. #TCMParty

That's what I’m talking about!

Good to see Hilda’s still on the job.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

A big difference between Catholicism and Evangelicalism which JD Vance doesn't seem to understand is the rapture isn't a "thing" in the former. I remember when the Left Behind books came out, I had no idea what they were talking about.

It’s every type of organization. List-making. Triage. Categorizing. Knowing how to stop at “good enough.” It’s not sexy. But…slow is fast.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

One disgusting aspect of all this is Trump fundamentally doesn’t care about it at all. He barely knows where any of these places are. He likes cash in brown envelopes and being on TV as Mr Big Important Guy. He’s just willing to pull any lever he thinks might keep that stuff flowing indefinitely.

At some point you wonder not just if insiders using information to place bets, but maybe also reshaping their advice to make those bets profitable.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?" Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

True. The real concern is a process already underway: countries gradually hedging themselves away from exposure to US power, technology, financial influence. The dollar isn't collapsing, but it's reflecting that headwind.

See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec

This is why I can't brook the "I didn't vote for Harris because she was doing a genocide" bullshit Even if that's true, you then chose not to vote -against- genocide + x, where x = bombing Iran, etc. That's a bad choice.

as always, the way we do taxes is so fucking stupid you know how much money I owe! just tell me instead of me having to guess about it! you'll yell at me if I'm wrong anyway!

cancel culture was never real. not when the most powerful people in society keep giving rapists and racists opportunities their victims never get.

So all of this is in a thread about a Claude tool someone built to link to NLRB opinions, and it's just such a massive misunderstanding of how law works.

The judges every week to Kenya but still they save her idk #DragRace

Alright, everybody did quite well. Bottom 2 will be people who just did a bit less well. #dragrace

Watching Kenya crow over doing well on vocals (debatable) has me wondering if she'll manage to lip sync the words in the performance. 🤷 #dragrace

Yeah, last week's #dragrace did not improve on a second viewing. What on earth was that judging?

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

(Also, Juicy was going to do Ugly Betty for Snatch Game, but didn't know who Brooke Shields, who was ON Ugly Betty, was? #dragrace)

So, instead of Athena portraying the first wife of Ari Onassis, who was named ATHINA, she created a blank slate that stayed blank, Greta. 🙄 #dragrace

🤡🩰

Only Larry Summers would be so stupid and naive to think you could get Alan Dershowitz to stop talking to the press.

Also, what's "MAGA-friendly" entail at this point in any form that could amount to a monetizable consensus? Apart from naked bigotry? Otherwise, it's some weed-smoking channer manchild gamers, resentful ass Gen Xer's who listened to Hootie instead of Nirvana, and Kid Rock fans.

shout out to the "they're not going to actually try to mess with the midterm elections" crew

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country. www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

So, consider how this goes: They deploy ICE to remove people who are “illegal” Kavanaugh says US citizens will be fine, once they show their IDs (sure, buddy) Kansas just showed us they can & will invalidate the LEGALLY ISSUED IDs of CITIZENS immediately & without warning Because they want to

This is the worst case scenario occurring at almost all turns. - Tased and struck over misunderstanding - Stays in jail for a year because of slow wheel of justice and ICE fears - PD screws up in releasing him - Border Patrol release catastrophically screwed up - PD blows off missing persons report

where’s that furious goose when you need it
