Could you rewrite this like a journalist instead of a stenographer?

lol. I am and always will be forever skeptical of diagnosing the long-dead, but only someone who literally knows absolutely nothing about Isaac Newton could ever let the phrase “autism didn’t exist back then” escape their mouth.

it’s like something an estranged parent picked up at the airport

Congress could vote on the KIDS Act as soon as tomorrow. The bill would pressure websites to determine users’ ages, and more broadly moderate lawful speech. We’re urging lawmakers to vote NO: act.eff.org/action/tell...

There are so many horrors and blunders and crimes of the Trump regime that normal folks don’t see or the media shields from them, but “cannot fix a pool” and “cannot throw a party” are highly visible and understandable self-owns that project in droves his least favorite quality: weakness

I don’t know why no one wanted to go to the American State Fair. I mean, this guy promised me a carousel ride

Sitting in the theater for Terminator: Dark Fate my friend leaned over to me half way through and asked me "why was everyone saying this movie was bad? This is great." We've got to stop letting the astroturfed bitterness of faux outraged YouTube neckbeards affect our expectations of movies.

"Their tiny hands and capless knees can take them anywhere: under fences, over flowerbeds, and through your open windows. Use wedge locks to ensure your windows can’t be opened more than four inches, as most babies are taller than this."

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

Speaking as someone who filed RICO claims against Elon, dismissed only because he has not yet been successfully prosecuted for securities fraud due to A) the PSLRA amendments to RICO and B) his purchasing the 2024 election, and was then ridiculed by certain lawyers for doing so... I agree.

The funny thing here is she’s presenting this as an out-of-the-box, shake things up gamut when it’s like the first thing every right wing us media outlet does. Hire a bunch of Brits from the Fleet Street/Murdoch world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Bring back Bombshell, we need more Nazi hating superheroes

This was how he reacted to notes on HIS films... ...when he was producing and defending another creator's work from the studio's editing scissors, he had a completely different tone like this bit about The Elephant Man. Mel Brooks is the best.

Time to pull out my usual phrase when learning about a wild historical event that perfectly encapsulates some essential, massive truth about humanity: Where has this movie been? The truth in this case: people die following clowns down the river.

“Patriotism I s a word which always commemorates a robbery. There isn’t a foot of land in the world which doesn’t represent the ousting & re-ousting of a long line of successive ‘owners,’ who each in turn, as ‘patriots,’ with proud swelling hearts defended it… 8/9

Yes! there was a formal committee and they had been working on America 250 plans for years! But Trump wanted his own thing, so the committee was disbanded and they scrambled to plan Freedom 250 in only 1 year.

During the Biden Presidency, when the press was upset about inflation, we saw continuous interviews with ordinary folk who no longer could afford 800 gallons of milk per week. When are we going to see the press obsessively covering New Yorkers whose lives are now better with child care assistance?

Okay, Republicans become Nazis, Democrats become Republicans, and democratic socialists become moderate politicians with perfectly reasonable policies. The US has no extreme left

*TMNT theme song voice* fake coyote, goose deterrent fake coyote, GOOSE DETERRENT FAKE COYOTE, GOOSE DETERRENT AIN'T DETERRING SHIT THOUGH GEESE ARE BASTARDS

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

I want Absolute versions of all Steve Ditko’s DC characters: Question, Creeper, Blue Beetle, Hawk & Dove, Captain Atom, etc

Hey, @ssnyder1835.bsky.social, I've got a great pitch for Absolute Question, if you're looking.

Some people have criticised this but I’ve done it with a ludicrous boss who just tried to upset me & others by setting us dumb tasks. I knew she’d forget about it as the initial cruelty was the point so never did it. Others did, sadly. You assess how foolish your boss is & act accordingly.

I do not know what I thought Rod was short for. I don't know if I thought it was short for anything before just now. Rodimus Prime Serling. he had a brother named Rob. that's just punishing yourself as a parent. you're going to fuck that up.

learned just now, on the anniversary of his death, that Rod Serling's first name was Rodman, which is just, that's tremendous. imagining him in a full suit, smoking, pulling down the filthiest rebound you've ever seen. he's somehow in black and white and everyone else is in color.

Happy 100th birthday to the 2000 year old man! If the only movie Mel Brooks directed was The Producers, he’d still be responsible one of great comedies. But to make that, AND Blazing Saddles, AND Young Frankenstein, AND Spaceballs surely puts him on the Mount Rushmore of Hollywood comedy directors.

Centrists- “WHY ARE PROGRESSIVES GETTING SO MANY VOTES??????”

Happy birthday Dan Jurgens! In addition to being a key contributor to “my” era of Superman, he was really kind when I met him at HeroesCon a year or so back. When I think of Superman, it’s Jurgens’s art I see in my head.

Wrote down some thoughts on Supergirl from a couple days ago. There are some spoilers, FYI. boxd.it/eY5pw9

The usage of “says” is just so messed up. He's not claiming it happened, the police confirmed it. Do better NYT

R.E.M. Meat Loaf Beatles Monkees Rod Stewart Also a whole lot of 1970s/80s showtunes

Yale dropped 'improving the world' from its motto, endorsed the creation of a "civic education initiative" (a wink & nod to the right-wing), and promoted 'viewpoint diversity' all but in name so it's disappointing, but not entirely surprising that its administration would make a deal with Trump.

The "who fucking cares, ship it" part of generative AI is just as fundamental as the part where it openly violates consent at every single stage. It's necessary to do one, in order to do the other.

In which a member of the Texas State Board of Education advocates for major revisions to teachings on Nazi Germany while repeatedly struggling to pronounce "a really long word that starts with a K." The word? Kristallnacht – "the Night of Broken Glass."

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.

I love watching grown men walk around saying stuff like "p doom" and "permanent underclass." True cargo cult shit, an insane way to talk that sounds weird and exists only to signal to other peculiar people that you know the special words that bring about the great capitalist prophecy

It breaks my heart thinking about how so much artwork has been stolen--and remains hidden because the person who purchased it knows it was stolen.

Name a film with a title that is a full sentence

Supergirl: again, when you're dealing with a low stakes story you need great characters, but contrary to The Mandalorian, here the characters work. Its a good movie, could be better, but I liked it a lot.

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

They really want kids to get diddled huh

Mel Brooks’ birthday is on Sunday.

Invite Mr. Met to my funeral.

Welcome? This witless chowderhead doesn't know that passports are issued to US citizens for use traveling abroad? Welcome? Christ, he's so relentlessly stupid.

I have some family in Springfield they are so pissed about this they are posting on *LinkedIn* about it and they are all republicans

The number of people who signed up for a health plan and then didn't pay their premium fell much more sharply than it has in years past. Trump officials blame fraud. Health policy experts blame costs. n.pr/4uX01pS

I hope Rockstar and CD Projekt Red are paying very close attention to America's treatment of Haitian people. It's an abomination, and it's also of vital importance to both of their universes.
