why is my kid humming battle hymn of the republic at the top of her lungs

everyone is dunking on him and I am here for all dunking on pratt but these kids are 5, 3, and 1 lol this isn't that wild. honestly it's just super privileged to be able to keep your kids away from screens this long.

It is not only public good on its own, but a refutation of the myth of free markets and of the adulation of wealth that has plagued this country for far too long.

Been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, so it feels like a good time to share my painting "Steady".

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

one incredibly frustrating aspect of living through times of immense prosperity is that when we marshal resources to solve a huge problem before the consequences become severe, a large chunk of the population becomes convinced that no problem actually existed

Let's go to Londo Mollari for some commentary

I LOVE SPIDER-MAN

"California is pledging to put 7.5 million acres under tribal stewardship in the state’s first-ever tribal stewardship policy." Absolutely *phenomenal* news & essential. We need this, across Turtle Island, fast. We don't time. But WOW. What an amazing thing to see in my lifetime.

my kid came home from kindergarten today and announced she was setting a trap to catch a leprechaun. apparently other kids at school always end up with candy and treats in their annual leprechaun traps, so she’s pretty stoked to see what she gets. I am begging other parents to fucking cool it

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

No, I do not watch the news, which is curated by craven morons. I read online updates posted by sad jokers

2 f1 races canceled bc of this stupid fucking war

it just cost $53 to fill up my car 😭🙃

TIRED: Timothée Chalamet's heel-turn stunt promotional tour for Marty Supreme backfired by convincing the public to start rooting against him WIRED: Timothée Chalamet's heel-turn stunt promotional tour for Marty Supreme paid off by convincing the public to start rooting against Paul Atreides

Once you remember that Trump tried to murder every member of Congress, their interactions with him become objectively insane.

weird that the Stone of Madness wound up being PayPal

Checking in on our tech overlords, one is on his way to Rome to give a series of talks about the antichrist and another has convinced himself that thinking is fake

Anyway, vote for @katmabu.bsky.social. She helps you when no one is looking.

She asked me point blank what the most immediate, solvable problem I had was…and, reader, she then fixed it. Without hesitation. It was one of the most selfless acts I have ever witnessed during a time I was barely holding it together in the midst of her running a political campaign.

If you know ANYTHING about Sheriff Judd, this is shocking. The polling on this has to be in the Mariana Trench.

me when I can hear my neighbor's generator running

this is so wild man

no storms but our power went out anyway 🙃

Me after doing a half-assed job at even the simplest task at work

if you ever say out loud or show that you are not happy with a cookie cutter binary life, if something about how you were born or raised has led you to feel unhappy and need support or medical care, they hate you for it. fascism hates you for it. you're disposable AND a symptom to them.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

really struggling right now with planning this memorial gathering for my mom, there's too many people coming I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and won't have enough food or anything and it'll be bad and stupid. I only know like 5% of the people who are coming but I have to plan the whole thing

this is so load-bearing

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Interesting how much of the criticism of both Sinners and OBAA is identical. "Politically muddled without a clear and simple message, and more fun and interesting to watch than groundbreaking." I dunno, maybe you guys are going to movies for the wrong thing?

Creating stories for people who are hungry is what it's all about

ME: (chastising myself) Careful. We can't just paint every billionaire as an evil NPC with no inner life. They're just people, and we need to understand that if we're ever going to improve society BILLIONAIRE: I'm an empty shell, man. No thoughts up here. I'm essentially a void made to suck up money

No but for real

Snubbing Delroy Lindo again? Jail.

let's not ignore a serious issue just because it's politically incorrect to point it out: a man has never won Best Casting

what a shame TLJ didn't perfectly set up that character's arc to take center stage in an no-holds-barred struggle for power over the dominant military force in the universe i mean if only, right

Thompson not only refused to accept orders have priority over morality, but acted. And he continued to stand up for what was right as many of those around him, in the press, and in public, branded him a traitor. Because to him REAL patriotism was doing what was right, not what he was told. 26/28

Thompson is, to my mind, one of the finest examples of leadership and courage, military or otherwise, you will find. It is easy to just "follow orders", pretend you don't see what's happening or that you're just doing what your country needs "for patriotism" Doing the right thing is a choice 25/28

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Playing twins in the same scene so well that you could tell them apart by their stances and demeanor is a way cooler magic trick than method acting.

The fact that he was careful to smile in a way so that only one of them has dimples is insane.

I can't think of a team more deserving of the kind of power that nights like tonight bestow in Hollywood than Michael and Ryan. And a big part of that is because they know what to do with it and what it means. The future is so bright for them. This too, is part of Chad's legacy. 🖤

it makes it even more striking how there still has only been one Black woman best actress winner, ever. in 98 years.

So Ryan Coogler grabbed Autumn's son so he could see his mom winning for best cinematography. My cold, dead heart🥹
