Trying to watch "Blonde", and ... wtf? Is it just me? I haven't looked up reviews. This is terrible. Not at all enjoyable.

From the bad place, part of Hunter B's response to Joe Rogan. I didn't include the diplomatic shit at the beginning because I think UFC is toxic. But the rest of it is really well expressed.

😂

this is news new york times reporters had months ago, but they suppressed it and kept it out of the paper so they could goose book sales. this should be a scandal but its how modern journalism is conducted now.

This was fascinating. An artist who has been making a map for decades. Lots of game-making rules for what he has to add next. It's a massive project and gorgeous, but his process and dedication is also a testament. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is8N...

Loving the Scots/Boston experiences I've seen. Bagpipes at the airBnB, recreating the viral 'cop on the playground slide' with bagpipes... Now they've discovered tailgating.

Recently did a rewatch of Game of Thrones. Trying to give House of the Dragon another go. Storyline is good, but.. I have so much trouble telling the characters apart. Hair all the same color. All the names alike and repeated. And then many scenes are lit so darkly that I can't see shit.

Got another text update from my county recorder/registrar about my ballot. We get text messages at every stage. I got one when it was being prepared, and today it was to tell me it was being mailed. When I send it back, I'll get more as it moves through processing. Vote by mail is safe and awesome.

Imagine being the most decorated gymnast in history, almost dying, and media referring to you as “NFL Wife” as your greatest achievement.😑 Misogyny is a helluva drug. Smh. Truly hope Simone is safe and makes a full recovery. What a horrible experience.

are you fucking kidding me?

A lot of problems with the whole 60 Minutes debacle, and I had noticed that firings included a lot of powerful women, but I didn't realize what a great job Tanya Simon, the executive producer, had been doing. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

His house is likely already packed, since it burned down and they've been living in a hotel. He's already got a trailer to tow to wherever he moves. Easy-peasy.

There is a battle royale going on over on the bad place about concerts having a no-phones policy. It started with Phoebe Bridgers announcing that her new tour will be using Yondr pouches. Seems like a generational divide, mostly Gen Z having a fit. What are your thoughts on phone-free events?

⚡️ Update: All EU states back opening formal accession talks with Ukraine after Hungary deal. All 27 EU member states have given the green light to open the first cluster of accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova, Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said on June 4.

The song goes out to Scott Pelley, who just got fired by CBS News for telling off his boss Bari Weiss. youtu.be/MfmYCM4CS8o?...

Sorry but this is just not what happened. It is a WRITTEN settlement. Blanche told Congress the administration would not move forward but REFUSED to put anything in writing. This would allow Trump to change his mind at any time.

This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

My daughter's boyfriend lives 20 minutes away, and in this economy that's a long-distance relationship.

today I learned that the James Talarico "six genders" thing refers to him listing six different combinations of X and Y chromosomes (XX, XY, X, XXY, XYY, XXXY) that occur regularly. that isn't even lefty in any way, that's just a factually true statement!

This phrase became one of our family's inside jokes. Any time we hear "It could be anything"... it was immediately followed by "It could be even be a boat!"

Those two seem like the whole ball of wax, so what was the other 95%?

Watching Outlander Blood of my Blood, and realized that Brian's mother is named Davina Porter. That's also the name of the wonderful audiobook narrator for the book series!

Yes!! Though I'm sure this is still not the end for this poor man.

Politics may be downstream from culture, but the presidency is upstream from local politics. Remind your elected leaders of that. We want better, regardless of party, than a bunch of leaders who openly flout overwhelming, near total, public opposition.

WTF did they do to that sink?

Reupping: "Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice." ---Trump on 1/13/21, after the House impeached him but before the Senate had voted on whether to convict.

A true fact about Trump's stock trading- I ran the numbers and Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026. All 535 Members of Congress made a total of ~$635 million worth of trades in 2025. So Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did last year

My radical gender ideology? That there are more than two genders and science backs that up.

And as a signal to others, ahead of the midterms

Mosque shooter had a gas can with a large "SS" sticker on it, weapons with hate speech, and left a note about racial purity. Go figure. nypost.com/2026/05/18/u...

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

I had my first ever MRI today (I’m fine. It’s very boring). I got to listen to music, so I requested Fontaines D.C. So now I know what they’d sound like if they had an extra band member playing the jackhammer.

question of the day (so far...)

Something really fucking weird is happening to conservatism

As a yank, I only get a few of the references, but I definitely get the gist. Nice work.

She's not my rep, but I'm proud she's representing our state. Rep Ansari has been impressive.

If you're having a rough day, enjoy this picture of my father in law and the abandoned stray he told my mother in law they weren't keeping. He just finished feeding him a middle of the night bottle. Of course they're keeping him. His name is Walter. Dad and Walter are twins here, both wearing spots.

👏

Not new idea but if i were a dogooder with actual money concerned about media i would pick a dozen medium sized cities in swingy states and bring back local journalism.

Same energy:

Not sure how much press this is getting

I don't quibble too much about casting choices for print to screen. I care about whether the brought the essence. My most beloved novel series is Outlander. I've read it numerous times, both print and audio. There's only one casting choice that never grew on me: Brianna.
