As if everyone would actually share the risk. (See second screenshot.)

Moscato is a good wine for people who drink Sprite and think “I wish I could get drunk off this.”

Roberts will go down in history as one of the worst but most consequential chief justices. He might get some decisions right, but few have done more to undermine confidence in our system than he.

When your party’s brand is “hey, at least we’re not as bad as Trump,” sexual assault allegations remind us that “not as bad” is still pretty bad.

Tl;dr of every @datelinenbc.bsky.social: “the husband had an elaborate plan to do it.”

The one game where I want Duke to win….

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

At the workshop on Making Academic Research Potent and Potable for General Audiences workshop—more panels need to include spirit samples! Thanks @tvbookstvbooks.bsky.social, Jennifer Porst and all of the presenters for a fun, informative, provocative panel! #scms26 @scmstudies.bsky.social

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

Train conductor hats are top-tier headgear.

REP. HARIDOPOLOS: I was a shitty history teacher.

This is also true if, as in our case, the constitution isn’t that well-designed or as well-respected.

The fuck is a hot beef sundae?

I’m guessing it’s Andrew Jackson. Trump absolutely idolizes Jackson, absolutely is talking to his hallucinations and absolutely is certain they too think he’s the greatest president ever.

Whereas the U.S. had been certain bombing schools would result in a mass outpouring of love for us.

This is nearly a city of 10 million people. Imagine New York City being carpet bombed. Tehran has a larger population.

Why isn’t Melania testifying? I’ll tell you why Because her husband is a pedophile

"Pure evil"

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

If you’re looking for an invigorating read about personal myth-making and the popular press in late-twentieth century Hollywood, might I recommend an essay in the latest Journal of Cinema and Media Studies? muse.jhu.edu/article/982202

The amount of work faculty are going to have to put in, the amount of regression, the amount of the worst kind of rigor discourse we're going to lean into, the amount of suspicion we'll have to have for our students... Techbros pushing AI everywhere, I hate you. I really do. Hate.

Spoilers for season two of Heated Rivalry.

When did we stop teaching students to write in separate paragraphs? Asking for my weary soul.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

So someone paid $3 million for a ticket?

Rep. Randy Fine is really working hard to be the most loathsome GOP member of Congress.

Sinners deserved all sixteen of its nominations. I’ll be surprised if it actually wins a fourth of them. (I’m not saying it doesn’t deserve to win all sixteen—just that Academy politics and, yes, racism make it unlikely.)

RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

An important thread.

The Plot to Enslave America. They are testing this out on immigrants before turning it on everyone else

Happy 2109th birthday to Marc Antony!

Noem killed her dog. Let's stop pretending she cares about the murder of a human being under her watch.

One of the two or three greatest debut films in history. Citizen Kane is probably the only one I’d say is greater, if for no other reason than its impact.

It really is dispiriting to be continually reminded how morally empty so many people in this nation are.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

While I respect arguments otherwise, I’m gonna side with those who call the current administration fascist.

Maybe God *does* care about sports events, and that’s why we’re living in hell. God’s more interested in hitting the parlay than world peace.

Leaving 2025 like…

Around 1990, I peed next to Umberto Eco. In 2002, I peed next to Don Knotts at a McDonald’s in West LA.

Whenever I’ve felt the need to apologize for being a white male, it’s been because of the behavior of other white males. Persons of color and women never made me feel ashamed of my European cisness. It’s always been white men who did that, simply by association.

Exactly this, except my dog Olive.

I’ll give you two.

On the other hand, this might make an interesting scene in Bad Santa 3.

So suddenly my feed is bombarded with random skeets from people with absolutely atrocious taste in film.
