you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Every movie can be improved by Toby Huss and/or a mustachioed Alden Ehrenreich.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Guys like Freddie and Ohtani and Mookie are also there because the Dodgers were the organization willing to pay workers their fair market value as opposed to most of the rest of the league working as a cartel to depress worker pay!

Very, very few people die from murder or terrorism, but you'd never know that from the media. ALL of our perceptions are warped by what the media chooses to cover, chooses to center, and chooses to ignore. Keep that in mind at all times.

this isn't true! every team owner has the resources to pay any player their fair market value. this is revealed every time a team is sold!

I learned last week that Reading Rainbow lost funding when George W Bush mandated educational television should only teach how to read, not simply celebrate the joy of reading. Feels connected to the big STEM push of the ‘aughts, something that sounds sorta reasonable but vastly devalued art

On All Saints' Day or All Hallows' Day a beautiful poem to remember our departed loved ones 🖤

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

we live in a fried chicken tendy golden age. it says nothing good about major league baseball the best official tendy sponsor they can get is dairy queen

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

[Yoda voice] Flies in the vasoline we are

So the media CAN use the active voice when the police kill a living being.

T-Mobile sent Billy Bob Thornton to a desolate ranch to tout its coverage AT&T countered by sending Luke Wilson to an even more desolate ranch Verizon has no choice but to escalate by sending Walton Goggins to the Gobi desert

I collect inspirational footnotes and share them from time to time:

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Award-winning sound artist @smokeycloud.bsky.social stops by to talk about DIE HARD. We discuss Joel Silver's "Whammo Chart," John McTiernan's efforts to infuse Shakespeare into the material, and what choices set the film apart from other '80s action movies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

Loved talking to my longtime friend @smokeycloud.bsky.social about one of the defining movies of the 1980s!

Being asked to join the @worstpartpod.bsky.social has been a big highlight of the year for me. Thanks to Tripp Von Weeks and the other host for having me on! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Headline forgot to mention he was shot by an ICE agent.

from AT&T to Discovery these companies fired 50,000 people! And destroyed countless popular programs! And created a much shittier product! seems like maybe important context

Can’t wait for the follow up ep on #ArticlesOfInterest

shrek was so successful because it was a farquadrant movie

looking at videos of wolves, coyotes, jackals, and foxes (technically canids too) makes clear the Continuum of Doggo. only Canis familiaris is reliably domesticated but you can at least theoretically imagine a circumstance in which any of the others would wag their tails and demand belly rubs

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

The amount of Emmys that The Studio won just proves the world wasn’t ready for Jay Mohr’s Peter Dragon.

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile debuts tonight on The Onion's YouTube channel at 7 p.m. ET. Finally somebody will release some dang Epstein Files if you know what I'm sayin'!!!

It is remarkable that of all the celebrities from the '80s who've gone full fash Axl Rose of all people zoomed in the other direction.

American citizen, read this. www.koin.com/news/portlan...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The greatest trick the devil ever pooled was convincing the world there’s a screen protector I can’t break without having any idea how I broke it.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Every day, in cities across this country, brave ICE agents and a bunch of random other guys in tactical Under Armour dri-fit gear mask up and do the "dizzy bat race" version of the border shootout scene from Sicario. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the homeland.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

If there’s a more appropriately named Guy to play football near a Coors Brewery, it’s Rocky Beers. #JustAFewSmallBeers

Guys: I am staying at a house with three other 50-something guys. The house has a legit screening room so, of course, we’re watching “Master and Commander.” Just guys being dudes.

fuck man the exchange about the black eyed peas in naked gun has me sobbing lmao

just saw a video about how harmful it is to put shoes on babies because their feet are still developing and wearing shoes regularly can make them grow wrong. and i thought damn. have i been reading too much into that hemingway story
