RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214. Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs. The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Resistance to the building of concentration camps is of the utmost importance. Salute to every person doing their part to say not in my community.

I don't think people quite realize the red line that Trump 2 views firing people as. It's a mark of dominance or w/e to keep them in the face of a media cycle that will always turn.

This movie is amazing.

Nacho Vigalondo is a master and this movie whips ass. If you've never seen it, you're missing out on one of the best delightfully weird gems of the 2010's.

LOL if they actually get McKellan to wear the '97 long hair 😂

So we had some laughs on the YouTube channel last week re: this Swedish animated movie from the 1980s. It DID have an English-language release in the U.S., Australia and a few other regions via Orion - that's how I remember first encountering it, but that version appears to be lost media. Yes/no?

"Edgelady" is gonna have to do as a perfect-enough description for Fennell's approach until I can settle on which "Not exactly 'good' but 'compelling'" filmbro director she's best classified as the "for girls" version of. It feels wrong/too-easy to just say Harmony Korine 🤔

Lmao

We need a term for the polar opposite of lost media. You Can't Get Rid Of It Media.

I'm a crankly old man who loves TNG but also come the fuck on they had classic characters on every two weeks and then jammed Worf onto DS9. Great TV but let's not get rosy-eyed.

That's the fakes fake thing I've ever heard

Money is tight right now, so if anyone's looking to get some AT4W merch right now, it's appreciated! atop-the-fourth-wall.storenvy.com

It feels weird for people to be wistfully framing "STAR TREK: TNG" as 'the era era when franchise IP didn't need to be built on nostalgia callbacks!' when before during and after its run the TOS crew were headlining a *SIX FILM THEATRICAL BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE SERIES*

genuinely with him on this one, the eagerness to fedjacket a guy who has made right-wingers more angry than you've ever managed because he's using different tactics is playing kid games with adult consequences

Biggest news in Variety since Sticks Nix Hick Pix. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

We got Taylor Swift and they got Nicki Minaj. Wouldn't have figured.

For real. I don't know what happens near-term with what I still think is a doomed ego project for Rowling; but if Netflix buys her out and pulls a full "This will begin to make things right" apologetica brand-refresh down the line? Okay, THEN you've got something. And they could do it.

Remember, the shitty jobs numbers you see from this administration are their fake numbers. The real numbers are much, much worse.

Like it's going to be a MASSIVE early overperformer and there'll be a million "Hah! Told you so!" thinkpieces that will all be very annoying 🤷‍♂️ But I don't think it'll take even until Season 2 for the "...oh, wait, this isn't gonna work, huh" icebergs to appear. And it'll be too late.

I mean, have zero doubt that if/when the "POTTER" reboot show actually launches it will be the most-watched debut in HBOMAX history, just on brand name and curiosity alone. My contention remains that it A.) Won't be any good, B.) Will be an unsustainable production long term C.) JKR will f--- it up

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This is why primarying people matters. Suddenly everybody involved in this race is in a firm spine contest.

The next episode of Philosophy Tube is a monster to edit and it’s over 2 hours long and it’s gonna lose money and probably not get many views BUT I’m legit proud of it - I’m really planting the flag on this issue and hopefully it’ll do some good by reaching the right people

So apparently they might not show "SCREAM 7" to critics *at all?* 😳 I can't confirm if that's true or not but WOW that would be *crazy* for a big legacy sequel, right? 👀

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

the thing that gets me about the antivoting leftists is that they don't just want to not vote. they want to not vote and have all the rest of us admit how cool and good it is. a participation trophy for laziness

#nowwatching A Chinese Ghost Story on Shudder. First time watch for me but not my first Hong Kong horror. I’m thrilled that Shudder has these to stream. #horror #films #movies

Wow. What a question. I guess if I HAD to describe my perfect woman it would be body heat and dense skin.

Here's the thing: I like EVERYONE involved in the existing and forthcoming reboot(s) of MST3K. I expect it all works out fine, people seem to be getting along in this. My hope/mild-worry is that we don't get stuck in a vague Force Awakens-ish vibe where an actual concerted effort to "go new"...

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

The young'uns that were hired for the previous MST3K reboot were all very talented, and did a great job, but this time around the concept is, "What if we gave the old farts from the original show a shot?" Why not, right? I think it's gonna be fun.

Okay. That's interesting.

Republicans, c'mon. We used to have an deal about this. You don't GET cool young people music and good movies. You get money, and the trade-off is that you have to wait 20-30 years and then like 40% of the kids who like Bad Bunny (or whoever) NOW turn into YOU bc THEYRE old and owe child support

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

okay but like the burden is literally on us

Oh well this is fantastic news

Demon Squad: Tooth and Claw is now streaming on @PrimeVideo! www.primevideo.com/detail/0O7QT... #indiefilm #HorrorFam #MutantFam #HorrorMovies #werewolf

...wait, what? ... ...that's not how that works. You don't deport the JOBS with them. If they were in fact illegally occupying a job that would otherwise be filled by a citizen, the number would either RISE or NOT CHANGE 🤦‍♂️

Analysis: Starship Troopers is a fun time at the movies but anyone looking for a political or social message will be left wanting as at no point do the characters turn to the audience and say “it is wrong to Starship Trooper someone”

honestly mob bookies handled this more responsibly

my joke about vance is still making the right-wing rounds. they are furious about this! the worst thing ever said by a human being, apparently.

Yeah, yeah… it’s putin’s war they say .. Average russians are sooo “innocent” they say .. 🙄

Why yes, I am extremely online and this is very funny.

Let’s be honest Dr Ian Malcolm would be taking this pretty hard

Since taking office, candidates that Trump have endorsed in primary races are losing in general elections at a frightening clip. There have been many 30+ point swings in districts he won comfortably. The GOP should be very afraid.

NEW EPISODE! Time for the comic adaptation of Labyrinth! youtu.be/4LnbHdKw9oY
