There are lots of good dramas on streaming TV. We really do live in a golden age. But TASK (HBO) has one thing many of the others lack: Soul.

"Star Wars is about a war in outer space..." "SPOILERS!!!"

Apparently I spoil movies when I describe the basic premise of the movie as laid out in the movie's own trailer. I can't make this shit up, some people are too stupid. 😂

I feel like Abaddon from Haunted Hotel and Invader Zim would get along until they realized they both can't rule the world, at which point a bitter rivalry would form.

I'm watching a supercut of Paul Rudd pranking Conan with the Mac & Me clip, and something a commenter noted that I'd never realized until now is that Rudd, in every clip setup, is describing what happens in the actual scene but pretending it's from whatever he's plugging, which is sheer genius

You could not more perfectly invert the whole point of the power of the purse than this false notion the legislature cutting off appropriations means the executive gets more power.

'What’s “remarkable” about Trump supporters’ belief in medbeds, Jarry explains, “is that it is one of the few optimistic conspiracy theories I have seen. Whereas most conspiracy theories center on a sinister goal, this one is benevolent in nature.”' Medbeds are in the news....

The Republican manufactured government shutdown is now in effect, but our district offices will still be available to help constituents and connect them with resources. Here are frequently asked questions about a shutdown and information you need to know: ocasio-cortez.house.gov/federal-gove...

G'mar chatimah tova to everyone observing Yom Kippur in NY-14 and across the world. We hope you have a blessed Yom Kippur and a meaningful fast.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Just yesterday Trump promised to spend a record $1 trillion on the military — roughly half of which will go to private defense contractors that price-gouge the government. Remember this when Trump or Republicans talk about "sacrifices" that need to be made during a shutdown.

ICYMI: A Reagan-appointed judge ruled that Trump's abduction and attempted deportation of pro-Palestinian student activists is an unconstitutional attack on freedom of speech. We must continue to resist Trump's illegal attacks on our fundamental rights. www.commondreams.org/news/judge-s...

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

A government shutdown means Americans won’t get the services they depend on. Federal workers won’t get their paychecks. People’s livelihoods will be upended. This is happening because Republicans wanted to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich by making devastating cuts to the social safety net.

Trump’s authoritarian agenda is not popular. His big, ugly bill is not popular. Ripping health care away from millions of Americans is not popular. As @aoc.bsky.social explains, he and Republicans are weaker than they look. Democrats must stand strong and refuse to cave.

This should be a truly massive scandal in the Jewish world. Obviously, many of us knew and assumed this was occurring, but the proof is now out there and it needs to be called out. We have US-based influencers pretending to speak for themselves but actually working directly for the Israeli govt.

I feel like Abaddon from Haunted Hotel and Invader Zim would get along until they realized they both can't rule the world, at which point a bitter rivalry would form.

So petty. He did this during his first term too, btw. He's always been vindictive about states that went blue.

This campaign understands the thing that has eluded Democrats for years while the GOP ran wild with it. We're in an attention economy; you have to stay top of mind every day. The GOP does this with an endless stream of fear and bigotry, but that's not the only way.

#bernie and #AOC today

AOC is giving tours since there are no tour guides during the government shutdown. #wholesome

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Sometimes, I can't tell if a comment is trolling me. 😂

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

October is here, which means horror is everywhere on streaming. Here's what's arriving during peak Halloween season:

Great, now its going to be some sort of political litmus test whether you use Wikipedia anymore. Conservatives ruin everything.

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

Rest in peace.

“That son of a bitch. It’s really unbelievable ... I never imagined that we’d ever have a President like this and I hope we don’t have another President like this again” — Jimmy Kimmel on Donald Trump

Rest in peace. 😭

October is here and Fango's got your guide for streaming (and screaming) your way through our favorite month! What are you most excited to check out? 🎃 (Continued in comments)

This triple feature would go hard.

The hype is real! The Toxic Avenger (2025) is the best Toxic Avenger movie. It's a hilarious and gory superhero movie that's also unapologetically political. Great performances, stylish art direction, and good writing - all things you wouldn't expect out of a Toxic Avenger flick! 😂👍

The Man in My Basement (2025) is an intense thriller about racial identity, the masks we wear, and ones connection to one's ancestors. It's about a lot more, but those were the core themes I plucked out. It's a movie I found myself sitting with me for a while after, though it wont be for everybody.

Underlying the constant “Gotta listen to the Trump voters more!” drumbeat is the assumption that they represent “real America,” the true Volk, and therefore have a right to have their voices amplified at all times. It’s an assumption that perpetuates the core ideological claim of Trumpism.

The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real” America that is constantly being victimized - made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And so many leading Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”
