Crude q, but in the Peacemaker Nazis-won alternate universe, there’s been no mention of Jews (vs other minorities, who are in work camps)… it’s not directly relevant to the team since nobody in it is Jewish AFAIK, but does this suggest that they were all killed when the Nazis won?

My take on this week’s surprising Peacemaker: alansepinwall.ghost.io/peacemaker-r...

The screwy thing is that the Riyadh Comedy Festival is actually a terrific premise for a warped movie

Here is the link to the 1989 SCOTUS decision ruling that flag burning is protected by the first amendment. It was a huge deal back then. I genuinely wonder what John Roberts thinks of Trump posts like this. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

I'm trying to read something in an Acrobat PDF & this repulsive bloated purple-peach AI Assistant GROWTH is practically throbbing in the corner of the screen. It's maddening; it's useless; and when I try to turn it off in Preferences, nothing seems to work. So I've come here to pointlessly gripe!!

Donald Trump wanted to give King Charles one of Dwight Eisenhower's swords. The director of the library said no. He was told to resign or be fired. WTF. No swords for Kings.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I regret to inform you that in addition to the collapse of Reconstruction and the Red Scare we all need to bone up on how Woodrow Wilson cracked down on journalists and dissenters. We've got you covered, with this piece by Adam Hochschild www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A redwood tree?? Alrighty then

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Sure, you can joke about anything! Except being a journalist and being decapitated in another country. Or sex. Or misogyny. Or anti-Semitism. Or MBS. Are any of the thousands of princes. But really, almost total freedom!

This is LGBTQ+ History Month, and I urge my followers who are LGBTQ+ (or just curious) to dive into one thing--a movie, novel, TV show--from your childhood or before. Look at an older gay work as something other than a relic or an error. You'll be rewarded. Your world, your SELF, will get bigger. >

Okay, funny bookstore category

Had a nice dinner tonight with a friend from Canada who was in town for business… the only one of our friends and family willing to come down here under the hideous current regime. What a fucked up, scary situation!

I hope this is a historic piece of writing. You should read it.

I don’t know many people in the military, which is its own problem, but I’m genuinely curious how many of them are psyched about being described as <murderers who are socially crucial, but too freaky to be let into the living room with polite company>

Winter is approaching and I'm considering purchasing a Lenny Kravitz scarf. The Chicago winter has broken the spirits of many. I want to lug around a big ol blanket and call it clothes. I am prioritizing comfort this year and that means wearing a comforter to work.

Hey, does anyone know if a person can bring a backpack to a concert at the Forest Hills Stadium? Or will she have to check it?

He was corrupt, he was callous, a wretched mayor, but you gotta hand it to Eric Adams: he got extremely far in politics for being one of the weirdest people ever.

I thought the movie was… good not great Timely, yes! Lots of wild action! The first third was eye-popping! But it ultimately felt kinda glib, simple… Even a little sentimental? I wish I was on the other side of this divide, I wanted to love it

Really interesting profile of a Fox host I wasn’t familiar with: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/s...

I’m sitting in a park listening to that EK v TNC conversation, and I’m very open to hearing multiple sides of pretty much anything (strategically, morally), but it’s pretty exasperating — TNC is so obviously correct, in the broadest sense…

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Happy birthday to FELICITY, which premiered on this day in 1998! I wrote about my favorite episodes at NYT a while back (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/a...

Wonderful, rich profile of the divine Carol Burnett by the fabulous @rachsyme.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Peacemaker S2 is just excellent, so silly & gory & emotional & politically sharp & smartly plotted & willing to goooo therrrrre

The message I’m getting from beauty culture is that I’m supposed to fully Face Off myself or I’ll be out of step

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Just watched 500 Days of Summer on the plane & she was much more responsible for that emotional scenario than I remembered… but he was also sadsack scarier than I remembered! Amazing soundtrack though

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

Sad to hear that Eric Adams left the race just after wearing my favorite jacket ever He was a terrible & corrupt but unfortunately entertaining mayor

Everyone here has an interest in pretending it’s not happening, because otherwise they’ll have to disrupt their lives. Of course, they have an even stronger interest in seeing the situation accurately, but they’re taking the path of least resistance until they can’t.

A government consisting entirely of Trig Mullaneys

Text is the most incredible way of communicating and a great thing that can happen in a text is when you are trying to put haha on somebody’s post and then put it on your OWN post…

Holy shit, they solved the Yogurt Shop Murders

holy crap, solar panels are productive! even in Brooklyn our electric bill for all 2024, for an entire house: $499.29 ($240 of this is the monthly connection charge, so: only $260 for actual electricity) installed in 2018, the panels amortized last year, so now it's just crazy-cheap juice

He makes this lyric depressing. It's witchcraft. Let the golden age begin Let the window down Feel the moonlight on your skin

Beck’s Sea Change is a great album but it’s like pouring liquified depression into my ears

11th anniversary of POKING A DEAD FROG. If you haven’t yet read it, and like comedy, maybe you’ll enjoy! To celebrate, I'll be posting some excerpts and images from the book. James Downey, longtime SNL writer www.amazon.com/Poking-Dead-...

Everybody who reached out to Sinclair's advertisers this week: you did this. Boycotts work.

Shockingly, it turns out there is a limit to what is tolerable. This is an opportunity to be exploited. Record everything. Get loud. And get trained in bystander intervention. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/n...

Barbie Ice Cream Shoppe (1986-1989): A "Barbie" ice cream parlor playset that featured a real ice cream maker. Once the ice cream was made, the counter stools could be used as spoons, and the chairs as little ice cream dishes.
