couldn't agree more with this. the balance Rian Johnson is able to create in this film, from the tones & themes to the characters themselves, is excellent. and all in service of protecting the little guy, but without that message in of itself dominating the movie

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

ICE was blocked and impeded by people all the way to the Lincoln Tunnel

let's fucking go

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days

Black Friday. Dark Saturday. The Doom that Came to Sunday

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

They did it again! NYC subway Thanksgiving 2025, via @scootercaster.com!

okay Wake Up Dead Man was a lot of fun

wake up dead man fucking rips

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

The New York Times, where the popular mayor-elect of their city is a fringe figure, but the QAnon podcaster who asked him a racist question comes out as a "winner" This newspaper hates its readers as much as Republicans hate their voters. And if you're still supporting either, you deserve it.

stop you've struck gold!

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”

"the funniest thing I can think of is getting my horrible machine to say slurs at random people at a party" what an utter wasteland this man's mind is, no wonder JCO got to him so badly

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

GOTHAM WIN

yeeaahh Gotham FC!! champions again, rose lavelle clutch as all hell, let's gooo

evergreen

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

Israeli press is irate that Trump didn't push back on Mamdani saying the US funds genocide against Palestinians

Mamdani probably got home, turned to his wife, and let out the longest, loudest “this fucking guy” of all time

I literally think Mamdani went “you know, there was actually a President so popular that people kept electing him more than two terms” and Trump was like no way tell me how he did it

the son he always wanted

big bugs bunny getting elmer fudd to marry him vibes in the white house currently i see

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

New York Groove subscriber Zohran Mamdani has converted the president to socialism

hahahahaha I knew it. "I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

He’s surrounded by such wormy little losers at the White House that I think he was like wow a cool guy

Last person to talk to Trump rule in effect

Fox News chyron called Showdown for the Soul of America: Trump vs Socialism and then it immediately cuts to Trump saying Mamdani makes JD Vance look like a big ol pile of shit and they high five

we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him

he hangs out in group chats with teenaged nazis, so there’s that

You know what media is NOT bending the knee in the Trump era? College journalists! The Harvard Crimson's brutal takedown of the lecherous ex-prez Larry Summers is just the latest example of students showing a failing 'grown-up' media how it's done My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

marisa is always a fantastic read, but this in particular excels on another level

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

Zohran won for a lot of reasons but I think a really huge one is he actually likes NYC. Conservatives and liberals both act like I live in a war zone instead of the coolest place on the planet. But Zohran told the truth: that living in a city, but especially this city, just fuckin rocks.

Holidays are coming up, a perfect time to remind your MAGA family members that Epstein is only part of the story, Trump has been importing foreign sex traffickers and giving them special protection. Then ask, "so did Trump bring the Tate brothers here as a replacement for Epstein's services?"

it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen
