i saw disclosure day last night. i thought it was…pretty dumb. i heard a young man exiting the theater say “that was the best movie i have ever seen in my LIFE.” who is right?

"barefooted fighters stretching and warming up in what appears to be the Indian Treaty Room"

This is a much more impressive accomplishment than becoming a trillionaire

holding out for the ollivanders themed Father’s Day card that says “terrible, yes. but great.”

i really, truly, find this offensive

TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND BRING THE GOOD NEWS TO YOUR PEOPLE

Trump announces "maybe I'll seize the capital of the US if voters displease me" and it'll be nothing more than a blip on the news at best

Need three books and a movie

i don’t know how it’s real but i do know what my go-to response will be the next time something mildly bad happens to me.

imagine if the news media had looked into this as hard in 2024 as they looked into Tim Walz's National Guard service

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

IF YOU ARE IN AN ACTIVIST SIGNAL CHAT please check if there’s someone named “AJ” with a trans flag in bio OR someone named “Teddy” with a pink Signal name attempting to access, joining, or already in your chats. That’s a fascist infiltrator. Reset your group link after you boot em!

i think it’s specifically that we’ve lost our ability to critique anything as long as someone, somewhere is making money off it. our concept of a social good distinct from profits has eroded so much we can’t even stop clearly antisocial business models.

i would like someone to write a detailed guide for what the left can do to prevent newsom or his ilk (but esp newsom) from getting the nomination, when the democratic party and primary system is clearly set up to make that happen. we came so close with bernie. how can we succeed today?

“the other side will always fight back” is a very simple truth that seems out of the cognitive reach of trump’s republican party

this is actually perfectly structured because you get to take three and you think "ah yes, hmmm, I wouldn't have said that personally" then take four hits you out of nowhere like a cartoon mallet

“Defectors must have a place in the progressive movement” my brother in Christ you have a place and it’s way at the back of the line. If you have truly changed you will not come around here giving advice to everybody who has been fighting *you* for the rights of women and minorities until yesterday.

they should make an infowars for ladies. Wominfowars. a place where we can finally speak candidly about female issues, like how seed oils made me disobey my husband

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!! Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on! I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

for a long time is was weird bc we have such piss poor investment in public K-12 education but such impressive public universities, but don’t worry, they’re eagerly dismantling the universities now.

Not many people know this, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is responsible for making sure the coal industry is never inconvenienced. Pretty sure it's part of the oath he swore.

Boastful Quaker Oats ad, Chicago 1891

i had to pull a tick off my leg the other night and now my body is so hyperaware of every single sensation on my skin as “POSSIBLE TICK” that it really feels like the simplest solution would be to flay it all off and start over.

WHAT!!

Rep. Bonamici: How can you spend HHS's limited resources and taxpayer money on a video of yourself drinking milk in a hot tub with Kid Rock? RFK: "I would have no idea… So many people have come up to me who saw that video and say that inspired me to work out."

COMPLAINT: i was trying to watch RRR yesterday, in an effort to expose myself to new types of cinema/CGI tigers, and the *only version* i could find, on any streamer, was a dub! how is this possible?

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

ah yes, the four races.

Justin Theroux keep taking roles There’s nothing beneath him if he sees the art in it.

wow this kind of blew up, so while i have your attention there’s something I’d like to say: not enough credit has been given to smashmouth’s “walkin’ on the sun” for its searing indictment of how baby boomers betrayed their ideals and left the mess for their children to clean up.

call him whatever you want, but this is clearly mr clean in witness protection.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

well if anyone can do justice to some of tolkien’s eeriest, most powerful chapters, and capture the ineffable feeling that you’re touching the edges of a vast, clouded map of myth and history, it’s him. (unfortunately, no one can do that and i am pretty sure This Is Going To Suck.)

crafting headlines is one of the hardest parts of internet writing; a delicate dance between your taste, values, and priorities. stripping that work away from people is fucking appalling to anyone who has he ever done it.

even wes anderson would blush at this title

obviously don’t want to underplay the significance of a global economic meltdown, but it is so weird to see how much of the coverage (including opposition coverage!) is focused solely on that and not, you know, the murder.

This show is the rare case where I have suggested to people to tough out the first two episodes. I usually say life is too short to suffer for pop art. But by the end of season 1 I was having an absolute ball. Genuinely excited for season 2.

sometimes it feels like a critical mass of people got a secret memo that said “stop trying.”

so…is the assertion here that *anyone* living in iran will “most likely be killed?”

you know if she really believed that shit she wouldn’t still be dieting and getting hair extensions
