Why does every gay man on the dating apps want someone to travel the world with? Where are the men who want to rewatch Bewitched with me?

LOS ANGELES: ICE is prowling Silverlake & the hills

I am down for a Mothra vs Godzilla situation, presuming it kills both deals.

I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die

'But if we took measures to make it safe, the internet couldn't exist in its current form.' Cool. I guess the internet can't exist forever in its current form. I guess multi-billion dollar companies will have to pay for competent moderation as they outsource the costs of making their content.

Any civilized nation would've banned AI porn by now. Even hosting those images should be a crime. And if it means tech companies have to pay for oversight, tough. But they can't. Because it's AI's only revenue stream. And tech has gone all in on AI.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

The Pitt and Traitors both back tonight, peak TV

You cannot convince them ICE wasn't acting in self-defense because they already know it wasn't self-defense. They don't care. They're making fake arguments to derail you.

Crazy that ABC seems to have just not bothered to advertise at all that High Potential is back after a 2-month hiatus. Also crazy, they went on a 2-month hiatus in October after only 7 episodes. Like, have we just forgotten how to maintain viewership?

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Impeach and prosecute everyone using their government-granted powers to commit crimes. Full stop. It's that simple. Fuck optics. Because the optics are 'well, it must not be as bad as it seems because no one's doing anything'

I think we are seeing that the government does believe it has the right to murder US citizens as it sees fit. If they didn’t, it’d be pretty simple to sacrifice this one agent and go back to kidnapping.

This was foreseeable and inevitable, and so many people could've stopped it by exercising any powers of oversight

I am 100% certain every country in the world is now moving towards going nuclear. There's simply no reason not to after the US decided imperialism is back.

It's so clear how many entertainment executives haven't even been on The Great Movie Ride

A moratorium on the phrase 'superhero fatigue.' This isn't fatigue; this is a popular movie trend running its natural course. If you study film you'll see there are tons of eras, the musical heyday of the 40s, film noirs in the 50s, or spaghetti westerns of the 70s. Media is not static.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

I have to believe at some point there will be some consequences

Not off to a great start.

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important. Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

Called my reps. It’s very easy.

He is everything the founders feared. Everything they built checks to prevent. And the spineless, fascist GOP is letting him destroy every aspect of our country.

holy fuck

The fuck did I wake up to?

taxpayer money going to a kiddie porn generator should be a gigantic scandal, like one of the biggest scandals of our lifetimes

Again, I can't stress how stupid it is for streamers to decide to crack down on streaming WHILE they pivot to an ad-revenue-based model.

Making your way in the world today really does take a lot.

Dear 2026, please be good finally.

One under-discussed downside to the modern 'everything must be a franchise' monoculture is the fact that it has sapped all the fun out of being a fan. It used to be so fun to discover a new person had also heard of the show/movie you loved or to stumble upon some niche item in a store.

Dem's should be loud and clear about their feelings for the tech oligarch. Take a lesson from the way Fox broadly painted anyone on the West Coast as 'disdainful out-of-touch elites' Now is not the time to mince words because you want their money. Point out you're against the moneyed interests.

It's bizarre to me that Netflix, a company that rose to popularity off the idea of binge viewing, still has no understanding of how important volume is to the television business. Shows are more profitable when you have a mountain of episodes.

I love the commercial of the lady leaving a bad review for 'store brand' paper plates because she dropped food on her daughter's diorama. A truly insane fictional person.

If you're still keeping a Twitter presence, might want to finally amputate.

Merry Christmas!

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

Here's a particularly juicy nugget I found in my reporting . . .

Bring back Willful Suspension of Disbelief in audiences. I am very tired of people looking at perfectly good graphics and being like "LOL that looks so fake" It is. No one is trying to trick you into thinking this is real footage. You're watching a movie. It's fiction.

I am excited to see Cap again, even if it's a transparent corporate panic move.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Trump officials will continue to break the laws at the highest level if there continue to be zero consequences for it. At a minimum, Bondi needs to be impeached, and the Epstein files must be released in accordance with the law.

CBS news' reputation will simply never recover.

As Heater Rivalry continues to outstrip all expectations, I just want to mention to the universe that I have several very gay pilots that are all very much available.

I just know if I saw Oh, Mary! I'd be able to make a really good Erika Kirk joke.

It's insane to me how many people still use Twitter when there is an identical app not owned by a Nazi who is ineptly using its algorithm to spread hate and disinformation in a transparent way meant to be covert. Anyway, I worry about this TikTok thing because Ellison is smarter than Elon.

What on Earth are they redacting? This is all so bad already.

Every executive's attempt to make their product feel cool turns out to either be A) 'Hello, fellow kids' Meme or B) An assumption that some highly specific interests of the wealthy and spoiled execs' children must represent the whole generation.
