"Nothing worse than a white guy who cares." ... yeah, I'm all in on THE LOWDOWN.

Extremely funny things are happening www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We're about six hours from finding out the guards used their prisoners as human shields, aren't we.

you literally called Trump the second coming of Hitler

this is an interview from a paper that has accepted the fact that they're talking to the next mayor

The latest SHINY THINGS just went out, tackling the brand-new discs of MEGAN 2.0, SORRY, BABY and @jamesgunn.bsky.social's SUPERMAN, which is everything I needed it to be. Free for all, but new subscribers are always welcome.

The Cosmopolitan article that inspired the series is right here, and well worth reading. www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a28...

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Taking this one out from the paywall for a couple days if you'd like to read it. It's good.

The Chotiner interview gets stranger every time you re-read it.

Feeling his oats today, I see.

This is, indeed, a rollercoaster.

One would think this is the perfect time to release a show about the cost of monitoring America's white supremacist movement, but it's possible they know something I don't.

You know, I’ve done a little bit of media training in my time, and I can tell you that if you’re ever in an interview, and the interviewer says “In terms of human rights, I've always found it a little bit puzzling that you were so close to Henry Kissinger,” just flip over the table and run away.

Another legend. This was so much fun.

Those poor people.

In which Trump gets ready to riff on "the Abraham accords," then forgets what they are and tries to power through it.

Spoilers for THE LIFE OF CHUCK, I guess. But this is really good, and you should read it.

The thing to remember, maybe the most important thing, is that Donald Trump is very stupid and extremely gullible.

I don't think it's the rapture but something has been rustling in the backyard for half an hour or so

Oh, lovely. And long overdue.

jesus fucking christ

... you know, this is better than I expected from the NYT.

All he had to do was say "acetaminophen" instead, but good fucking luck with that.

Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert

He also says "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen." Because he's senile.

Concert's just ended but you can watch the whole thing at the link.

NOPE (Jordan Peele, 2022)

Doug sure can pick 'em.

Love the idea that releasing the MANDALORIAN trailer this morning is a Disney distraction -- do you people know how many departments were involved with this thing? How many different companies had to sign off on every single frame? Not everything is a corporate conspiracy! Just most things!

My pet theory is that after decades of crying persecution while enjoying near-unmatched political power, Charlie Kirk's murder has shattered the Christian right's sense of smug invulnerability and they've lost ther goddamn minds.

It's four in the morning, the end of December

Starship Troopers (2025)

This is good, you should read this.

May we all get the chance to be as giddy as GDT in that last image.

Anyway we were watching Kaufman's INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS for a thing, what did I miss

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This movie understood America so fucking well it’s insane

Triumph of the Shill

Good for them.

Come on, man

So it turns out Kirk was a TERRIBLE debater against anyone who'd ever debated before. All he offered were false choices and rhetorical flourishes.

seems like a bit of a deal-breaker, no

These people are fucking lunatics, and everybody pretending they're not is going to end up in a camp.

New SHINY THINGS just went out, looking at a couple of beloved older films coming back to the shelves in top-notch restorations. If you've just cancelled a streaming service you've surely got five dollars to burn on a subscription ...

Think they'll add some blur to the hand?

New York! DROP EVERYTHING.

About goddamn time. Now let's actually do something to help.
