That's a poke ball

Recently a bunch of friends/coworkers were absolutely roasting this movie and honestly .. wtf lol. Have confidence in your "bad taste," to paraphrase John Waters. Which Paul has also revised to "have confidence in your GOOD taste"

Someone give the @fangoria.bsky.social newsletter writer a raise. Also, god I love Fango

It’s not even a swearing contest. Both McCabe and Comey agree: They DID NOT discuss the leak before the article published. McCabe has said *he* authorized it, not Comey. Their recollections diverge on whether McCabe told Comey that he had authorized the leak AFTER the article published.

Tapping the sign again: how would we report on what's happening in this country if it were another country?

Yeah One Battle After Another is an all-timer

Again. Quarry House Tavern may be one of the best dives in the entire DC area

This is so deeply embarrassing for everyone involved. It's especially stunning to see Pete Davidson, whose father died in 9/11, performing for the regime that has been so extensively linked to the attack. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMNrU9f7/

i will say this — it takes a real asshat to get the calm, collected and cordial @ari-shapiro.bsky.social to be this publicly cutting (via @nwquah.bsky.social intw // @vulture.com)

Tonight's spooky

I've read and admired @nwquah.bsky.social's work for years, so it was a privilege to do this exit interview with him in @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/ari-...

RYAN FITZGERALD GOING FULL KEANU REEVES MY GOODNESS

Today's spooky feature

Chotiner: You've written a lot about the band Weezer over the years. Me: That's right. Chotiner: And The Blue Album is their best work as you've said. Me: 100%. Always has been. Chotiner: In 1996 in a letter to your high school girlfriend you wrote... Me: Can we go off the record real quick?

Can confirm

Waiting for the rapture

it looks like the NYT stealth edited, making their journalistic malpractice even worse

Thinking only as an editor, it is journalistic malpractice to publish this ahistorical and factually inaccurate quote in the so-called “paper of record.” Trump was still president when he was removed from FB and Twitter. That is not a disputable fact.

Ten years after their last new music release, Motion City Soundtrack is still as anxious as ever, but for different reasons.

I've been listening to MCS since I was an angsty teen, and as I've said before: what sets these guys apart from a lot of the music of their genre, is that their songs - new and old - grow WITH you. Take a listen to my interview with founders Justin Pierre and Josh Cain www.npr.org/2025/09/21/n...

Good morning it’s their day

Ellen got a server at a restaurant fired for having chipped nail polish

celebrities out walking characters they’ve played instead of their dogs: thread

If AI wasn't so morally reprehensible and environmentally damaging, I would definitely make this into an AI video

Buenos dias

It's nuts how much even Motion City Soundtrack's earliest stuff still absolutely fucks. I mean these first two records especially grow *with you* as you age in a way I don't think any other music of their genre (if you can even define their's, really) holds up the same way.

Lmao I'm on Weirdos who push Die Hard as a Christmas movie And you know what? Yeah; you bet I am.

Hell yeah brother

Do you want to lose subscribers? Because this is how you lose subscribers. Physical media forever, folks

Did Obi-Wan Kenobi write this headline?

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

I miss when there were more than 3 websites

This is a Rick and Morty intergalactic cable bit

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing. #twill www.wbez.org/politics/202...

To be fair, a much larger number of the edgelord comedians have actually been pretty vocal about it than I expected.

At his Pittsburgh tour opener, David Byrne performed Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" for the first time in 19 years, covered Paramore, and much more

Last year, @ptklein.com and I talked about Robert Redford, The Candidate (1972), and All the President’s Men (1976) linktr.ee/strategyaaron

This new Motion City Soundtrack record is probably the best since Commit This to Memory. Talking to band's founders today and will have a radio/digital piece out Sunday on @npr.org's Weekend Edition.

Yes homo

I'm so happy that @outtv.bsky.social picked up PEOPLE WATCHING after the fall of Cracked. One of the best web shows available

So uh donate to your local public radio/TV station. www.npr.org/2025/09/17/n...

Doesn't appear so. What rankled me at the time was the ease with which people could assume it HAD to be left wing violence as if we haven't seen high profile right wing figures shot at by ... Other right wingers. Still a moment that should provoke newsrooms to invest in online culture reporters.

Tyler Robinson indictment has now been filed, including texts in which he confirms the bullet etchings were all just a "big meme": www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...
