All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. Only, you know, stupider.

Finally, a sociopath who actually listens to the consultants.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE: Weirdly, my biggest takeaway from this is that I am incapable of recognizing Jonah Hauer-King. I've seen everything he's in! He just doesn't register somehow!

Toronto! Show starts at 12:45pm, and it's the perfect day for a matinée ...

It's actually not complicated at all! It's a different book! If something can be explained in four words it isn't complicated in the slightest!

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

Things can always get dumber, I guess.

Circular Firing Squad (you will never hear me offer MTG any praise though)

My god, he’s a child. “Canada should be a dirt cheap place to eat, to house yourself and to live your life. Why…because we have the most dirt. We have the most dirt with which to build homes…we have the most dirt to dig up our resources and we have the most dirt on which to grow food.”

"No one could have seen this coming."

Donald Trump has never cared about another human being enough to go down on them, and we all know it

🤘

The complete Calvin & Hobbes and a hardback copy of The Tommyknockers

Have some compassion for the guy, he's still up there

I mean, asking RFK Jr. if he'd take a bullet for you is like some heretofore unknown, Cenobite-level of kink (kids, ask your parents)

ahem BEST-SELLING BOOK GOES INTO SECOND PRINTING this is quite cool actually

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

In this week's What's Worth Watching edition of SHINY THINGS, I tackle THE RUNNING MAN, COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT and PLURIBUS. Paid tier only, but you can always take the free trial!

"don't waste your time with Trump" should have been a campaign slogan

our future is being designed by people who think Black Mirror episodes are helpful suggestions

There are just so many movies out there. You’ll never run out. It’s great.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

See, the problem with COVID was that too many people survived and voted him out of office

Baby wants his monorail.

Cookie expert here. Oreos eat their young when they're in extreme distress. Not many people know this.

The non-technical term for "ephebophelia" is "well, actually."

Speaking of that TOXIC AVENGER reboot, I wrote about it in the latest edition of SHINY THINGS, along with the new NAKED GUN. A good laugh is more valuable than ever, you know?

... well, this sounds nuts but I'll follow @rianjohnson.bsky.social anywhere -- and having just seen Dinklage give a rich, warm and weirdly vulnerable comic performance in the TOXIC AVENGER remake I'm willing to believe he could pick up the mantle of Charlie Cale, too.

Even if he was saying "adapt" -- as it's surely written on the page -- this is still gibberish.

I actually hope Trump sees this one, he'd be incensed to know his bestest pal was only pretending to like him

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

You go to war with the stupid, attention-seeking conspiracy theorist you have, not the stupid, attention-seeking conspiracy theorist you want

It really is amazing that conspiracy nuts believe in secret cabals and thousand-year plans when it's clear the most powerful people in the world are wholly focused on their own gratification

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

On the local front, this SUCKS. Coco's is a great spot and its pineapple upside-down cake slices always made our afternoons brighter when we lived in the neighborhood.

Jinkies! This week, LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS writer-directors Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese celebrate their unironic love of SCOOBY-DOO 2: MONSTERS UNLEASHED -- and, especially, Linda Cardellini's Velma. On all podcast platforms and streaming at someoneelsesmovie.com/episodes/emm... !

I mean, that's absolute nonsense but at least he looks like a squalling baby in the still image

I can't find a good frame for my cinematography jokes.

I sketched out my answers and they read like a Philip Larkin poem. Except for the last one, I guess. I am not me You are not you The secret is out We can't trust society Science gone mad Nature gone mad Collective guilt made flesh It's not human and it's got an axe (yes I know it's only eight)

anyway I sure hope the stroke happens in full view of the cameras

Toronto film pals! The Fox is screening Julien Élie's documentary SHIFTING BASELINES Saturday afternoon. I saw it at #WIFF last month and it's very good -- a moody, monochrome look at the ruin being wrought by Elon Musk's obsession with blowing up rockets.

Absolutely this. Apply what you know to what you learn and you'll make something that's personal and unique

The great tragedy of Donald Trump is that he will never be willing to fake his own death

It’s been enough years that I guess it’s unsurprising my brain would eventually assimilate a new verbal tic from the Epstein files, but man, “DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT” really sings

There's a thesis to be written about the way the technical distinction of "innocent until proven guilty" became a way to allow monsters to keep operating in broad daylight.

‘accomplice’ works just fine

Impressive to come out looking the worst amid the cast of characters in this story, congrats to Michael Wolff www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

King of Kings The Ten Commandments Meet the Parents Wedding Crashers

Oh, that's just awful.
