Rob Reiner getting apocalyptically angry that someone would call him during an episode of the Equalizer and then answering the phone in a British accent is maybe the funniest scene in Wolf of Wall Street

you have been visited by the money mushroom. repost for a prosperous new year

This is so fucking funny dude.

Why did they make this image in big head mode

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Tony Soprano at karaoke doing "Shine" by Collective Soul:

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

i would hate to be told about the murder of john lennon while i was just trying to chill and watch the game

I’m sorry are we supposed to be doing CrossFit at the airport where we are all legally mandated to be wearing formal attire now

I googled what films came out in 1935 for this and it’s definitely one of these

Another one

Imagine the one real pop you get in an election is calling your opponents evil weirdos and instead of going all-in on that strategy you do the exact opposite and paint them as the normal ones. It wouldn't make sense! You would have to be an evil weirdo, too!

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

sure Delon was prettier, but the ineffable frenchness of Trintignant's face makes him my Quintessential French Man of Cinema. a face where when you read he was born in 1930 and his dad worked for the french resistance while his mom had an affair with a nazi officer you go, oh ok THAT'S what that is

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

Why did Variety make it look like Warren is saying "I'm going to become the Joker!"?

tapping the sign

I feel like Uncle Junior thinking he’s on TV when he sees Larry David whenever I see this guy’s name

I guess there's no good guys when it comes to management.

I am having what the French call a really shitty week

I’m old enough to remember the Bosnian war, which was regarded as bringing irredeemable shame on all of Europe. This stuff is *massively* worse than that - far more cruel, calculated and deliberately intended as cull of the civilian populace - and it’s been done with our active aid and complicity.

It’s the first year I can be smug about not having a Spotify Wrapped and it feels fantastic

mfw I learned Evanescence will perform Afterlife from the Devil May Cry Netflix series at this year’s Game Awards

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

He looks like Cate Blanchett in Black Bag

guys have literally gone to the firing squad for this exact crime lol

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

We had a lot of the TDK, the Memorex, the Sony, the Maxell Standard Grade, and the black and green Fuji HQ

The TA is not a professor. I point this out because it’s relevant, there is a major legal difference. The TA is a student and is also entitled to the same privacy as the student who complained. This is a major FERPA violation, the university shouldn’t even be really commenting publicly on this

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

if you ask students to list the causes of the Irish famine and they just say “the Irish are demonic” can you really not fail that kid?

if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish

im genuinely confused here. hegseth seems to have publicly admitted a couple days ago that he intended to "kill them all" but trump is now saying that he denies it? this is very odd to me

ive heard a few variations of: "trump doesn't like wars but he likes spectacles of violence" and i think that's essentially spot on. he wants to drop a big bomb and walk away. shoot a few protestors in the kneecaps but still be beloved by all. he's a fucking cretin

i guess they do want participation trophies after all

Some bad news. The great film and culture writer Nathan Rabin was in a serious car accident. He is expected to recover, but he has a rough path ahead. Now is a great time to buy his new book (I just did, looks cool!) - a thorough investigation of movies about movies. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

You really have to read this thread. The genius of Tom Stoppard, the fragility of memory, the magic of theatre — and the glorious stubbornness of a researcher who would not stop.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.

Still wild to me that companies got together and lied about a mass shoplifting epidemic and fundamentally changed things in all stores so that it’s worse for everyone, and then we found out they lied, and no one fucking did anything about it, and this is just life now

How it started / How it’s going
