As with Robert Redford & Gene Hackman, this is the passing of an actor who helped define modern cinema - at a time when cinema was defining popular culture itself As cinema & the standard length film fades into a niche form, it’s not an exaggeration to say we won’t see the likes of Duvall again

I set your house on fire but I also called the fire department to put it out. Why all this hate?!

This makes no sense until you remember that RFK Jr is a eugenicist.

It happened today. Trump ordered the pride flag taken down. It's back up now!

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Great illustrated piece by Reuters about curling stones, everything from the tiny uninhabited Scottish isle the granite comes from to the physics of a curling throw. www.reuters.com/graphics/OLY...

I thought haha this has to be a humorous paraphrase but no.

It's corny as hell but the solution to fascism is loving thy neighbor

Gary knows where we're headed.😔

my understanding from reading people in the know is that CBP was known as the place for fuckups who couldn’t hack it anywhere else and was considered a backwoods clown agency now they’re being given infinite money, no supervision and - apparently - drone lasers what could go wrong

“The Germans explode all over each other!” might be the funniest Olympic commentary I’ve ever heard. (Men’s snowboard cross quarterfinals)

Simultaneously watching 4 curling games and 1 football match is a special kind of madness I highly recommend.

whut?

I can’t stop laughing about “and from New Jersey”

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

"'Shut up and play' was always the demand. But it used to mean: don’t protest, don’t kneel, don’t turn your back on the flag. Now it means: don’t answer the question. Don’t have feelings. Don’t be anything other than grateful. Shut up and salute." Excellent piece about the abuse and its coverage.

Jesus has an opportunity to do the funniest thing, while also making a fucking killing on Polymarket.

Ilia Malinin obviously an extraordinary skater but I think I'd rather have a beer with Yuma Kagiyama.

I’m sure televising her humiliation to millions worldwide will win her over in a heartbeat.

Superb showing by Sweden to win the gold. Couldn’t be prouder of the way Corey and Korey have played this last week to grab that silver for #TeamUSA. Corey the first Olympic medal winner for women’s #curling ever! 🎉

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Noooo why why why #curling

8th and maybe final end for mixed doubles #curling. #TeamUSA could bring home the gold! Heart rate =

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

#Olympics #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026 #Curling The USA is off to the Gold Medal Match to play Sweden after this last shot ...

*screams head off for #TeamUSA #curling, scares cats* Headed to the gold-medal mixed-doubles match!!

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Ah yay I made that happen by saying two minutes ago, "Wow, all this great defense yet no turnovers."

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

God willing, someday we'll look back and say, "Remember that Super Bowl where all the ads were for AI or about AI or involved AI? Remember AI? Lol."

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

People watching football for the first time: what is touchdown

the skewer seems loosening out of the middle of the world

What I loved most about the halftime show was it took us inside and made us all PART of the party instead of being merely spectators. Just mainlining joy and pride.

Show ends with an inexplicable PK call

We all saw the fellas grindin right? That may be a first for the super bowl.

Imagine giving this up for Kid Rock.

I feel like a product called Liquid Death claiming health benefits goes against brand?

It's going to come out it was because of Kid Rock licensing issues and it's gonna be hilarious.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

If it was just the date that was wrong, I would think this was a typo. But the day of the week is not a typo. Even in my brain-foggiest moments I have never thought it was Friday when I was actually Saturday.

Underrated part of the Olympics is watching sports without being bombarded by gambling odds

There bloody helicopters overhead constantly and they now come out guns drawn immediately. Or gas canisters in hand. You cant even go for a walk at a park without having to look over your shoulder. We are very tired but minnesota strong and we ain't going down.

Some Olympic athletes commonsensically and even eloquently distinguish love of country from approval of Trump administration actions that are a blight upon the country. Trump and MAGA squeal and whine. Bullies are the most fragile snowflakes.

That goal straight up broke the sound barrier. #LIVMCI

Okay I was not going to share this because of the lack of sourcing or alt text (it's pictures of people throwing dildos at trucks & SUVs) but then I realized that you can sing "These dicks are EXPIRED" to the tune of "Girl on Fire" and I really can't keep that to myself, so, here we are.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

As a doctor, I am horrified by what I saw at the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. No medical protocols. No real medical care. No nurse on site when I visited. No beds. No real blankets. Extremely cold temperatures. Minimal food. These conditions are inhumane and unacceptable.
