Pic is of me processing the fact that a powerful force in the film industry thinks it makes no difference if you watch a wide-screen epic on your phone.

A grim reminder he has been a benighted presence in American public life for so long a guy who died in 1998 had a firm opinion about him.

the only thing trump seems to be actively engaged with as president is this ballroom

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

it's so fucked up that you can only experience something for the first time once someone's gotta invent amnestics so i can watch Dune 2 in IMAX again

it's how we end up talking about Sinners and Nope like they're naturally aligned, instead of talking about how Nope, Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Sinners together mark the dawn of a new age of existentialist blockbusters

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.

Cory Doctorow coined the word ENSHITTIFICATION & found that a little vulgarity helps people engage with abstract technical questions. On the Future Knowledge #podcast, he explains why the web became hostile & how we can make it work again. 🎧 Listen ⬇️ futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/ens...

Donald Trump is a gutter racist and we to start reporting on him as such.

In more practical terms, Nashville used to have the representation in Congress that a city of its size is meant to have under our constitutional system, and now it doesn’t.

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

First look at The Pikmin Christmas Special #pikmin #nintendo

Effectively there is no *one* person performing the duties of President of the United States right now. We are in an interregnum with an occupied throne.

putting on my favorite thanksgiving holiday film — sam raimi's spider-man

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

from "the pro peace ticket" to "we're invading venezuela to steal their oil" in just about 12 month

how it feels to raid the fridge for cheese at 2 am in your executive dsyfunction sweats

rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

🧵 The Winged Monkeys in Baum’s Oz weren’t followers of the Wicked Witch – they were compelled by the magical Golden Cap. Whoever wore it could summon them three times. The Wicked Witch used it first, then Dorothy. 🐒🪽More Oz in the #publicdomain ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/11/17/t... #Oz #Wicked

the other interesting thing about reading your work over time is you can see ideas emerge. like, i wrote this in 2024 but you can see the idea percolating early on in my tenure at the times. it just took a few years for me to be able to actually articulate it.

He meets with Mamdani one time and immediately tries to step his swag up

I miss my dad

All these "but Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft let you download your old purchases" people forget about already existing failures like OnLive or Stadia. I'm not expecting the big 3 companies to go under but it could happen and their legacies will just be purely physical games and illegal preservation.

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!

This time last year, the Chiefs had a point margin of +49 and were 9-1. Now they're +73 and 5-5. Football!

wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

US senators will say anything. "Standing up to donald trump gave him more power." No it didn't. That isn't true.

you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

the question isn't what some imaginary "we" "could" do with the senate, the question is what *the democratic senate caucus as currently constituted* WOULD do with a senate majority, and they are loudly and repeatedly telling you what they would do: dicking around with bipartisan pocketbook leg

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators. If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

HOW ARE THEY THIS BAD AT MEDIA Even if this was true, you don't *say* it. It's just dragging down the whole caucus.

My post of Decision Desk's decision to call the Seattle mayor race for Harrell last week didn't hinge on who would ultimately win: The point was that a "call" isn't a race to get a prediction right. But Wilson now being ahead should at least bring more attention to the importance of not rushing.

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Truly why fight for this when a deal is gonna be done by the end of the week

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

They already had this, when they passed axing ACA credits. There's no ambiguity that Republicans did that and you can attack them for it. The marginal advantage of having another vote for messaging purposes is, at best, extremely thin, and even negative if it lets some Rs cast a meaningless yes vote

The administration went all the way to the Supreme Court on Friday night to halt food-stamp funding. 🤡
