There's a lot of slashfic set in the Cars universe, and a lot of it is about Lightning McQueen confronting his own internalized homophobia.

I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him" WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW TERRIBLE HE IS NOW SO IT'S *NOT* A CHOICE BTW HIM & A NAZI, CARL. THAT'S THE POINT.

Don't let anybody tell you Pixar's Cars aren't sexy. You get to decide that for yourself. YOU.

Continue to think this man won't win the primary because he has the world's worst political instincts nine times out of 10.

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

Somehow, Phil talked me out of Katherine Heigl romcoms and into this.

I wrote about The Tantrum State and living in it. Personally I do not care for it very much. defector.com/fascists-are...

In her 5AM StoryTalk Podcast bonus episode, 'Yellowjackets' screenwriter and 'Woodworking' author @emilystjams.bsky.social discusses a seminal piece of art from her life: ‘THE X-FILES’ Season 3 episode: ‘Jose Chung’s From Outer Space’. Listen to the episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

we have a level of this in LA from the last time they were here in force and I expect it to kick back in serious gear the second they send another surge if your city hasn’t been hit yet now is the time to lay the groundwork, and thankfully there are a ton of examples out there at this point

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

A lot of good stuff in this thread, to which I would add: Trump is hugely, hugely unpopular right now. Do you think he's going to be dramatically more popular in the fall?

In Louisiana, a man drowned being chased by ICE agents. www.nola.com/news/crime_p...

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

Vance: I'm crying right now because you stupids won't let me have your green island. I could literally just - don't you know I'm smarter than you? I'm your better - don't leave, don't get the army Trump: McDonald's needs to sell milk again. Nobody likes the Grimace. They get the milk from him

My motto is that it’s actually none of my business what anyone thinks of my work.

Don't worry, gang. The _real_ president, who is in a bunker somewhere, has given Ethan Hunt command of an aircraft carrier in the North Pacific. Everything is going according to plan.

This is a point I make a lot, but in my pivot from plays to audio dramas I stopped getting reviewed (as there isn't a critical infrastructure yet for the latter) and maybe you won't believe me, but I miss even bad reviews SO MUCH.

Weighing in on discourse that 99.9999% of you are unaware of, and you should not seek out if you're not (seriously): Even the most niche corners of art are made healthier by earnest, honest critique. To attack a critic for offering such is to imperil the integrity of the art you most care about.

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

Thank you for spreading the word! If anyone in LA is interested, I can meet them at the halfway point between the IE and LA, at Ontario.

On the right's diehard belief in finding a switch they can flip that will make everyone hateful, Gamergate, and why the vibes aren't shifting. episodes.ghost.io/vibe-shift/

I kind of had a blast with The Housemaid, which, granted, I watched over a couple of days on my awards screener at home, but Amanda Seyfried is on some other level in it.

Viewers are rejecting Tony Dokoupil's "CBS Evening News," with the show down 23% in viewers year over year. "CBS isn’t losing the evening news race, they already lost it," one veteran TV exec told me. Another called the debut a "big whiff." More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...

C'mon, SoCal pals

They should let Scott Adams' ex-wives continue Dilbert like it's the Dune books or whatever

I wrote about Renee Good, Venezuela, Greenland, and what it means to be a human being. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have liked every Damien Chazelle movie a little more than his last movie, so this, obviously, can't miss.

Rathertouille

Good Night and Good Pot Luck

yeah can I get the Scott Pelley and Jelly

Everybody mocked me when I said we should prototype the CBS Evening News alehouse and gourmet delicatessen in Tempe before going nationwide, but who looks silly now??

Found a house I really liked in Michigan, close to family, but it has a pool??? Why would I want a pool?? In Michigan??

I saw Goody Proctor at the wine mom gang at the LAX Radisson.

At least 10 people were taken by federal immigration agents in the Echo Park and Silver Lake area this past Friday, according to the Echo Park Local, a chapter of the Los Angeles Tenants Union. The full story: lataco.com/ten-people-t... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

The kind of noise that would usually accompany a lawn mower wipe scene transition on Home Improvement

And if you are outside of Minnesota, feel free to send us whistles. They are going out as soon as they are coming in. Together, we are unstoppable!

things im learning from this tweet: - everyone on this site was a really annoying kid - really annoying kids today love newspaper comics too - there was apparently a generation that preceded millennials, but they've all died out and little is known about them

In this installment, I talk a lot about how the boys are nice and good and handsome. Future installments will be for paid subscribers only, but this one is free to all! Subscribe for 20% off right here: episodes.ghost.io/relaunch-sale

I used to go to the newspaper comics section at Barnes & Noble, just looking for a hit.

That the only word I can’t strictly place here is “bunnies” (and I can guess from context clues) suggests I am 22 and still plugged into teen culture.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1765

Kinda surprised to see so many people uncritically sharing this story in which - non gay bar in Salt Lake City hosts a Heated Rivalry watch party on a random Thursday, two weeks after the season finale - there’s somehow only one man in this non gay bar on this random Thursday night for this party

Hate that North Dakota has one of these and not South Dakota

I listened to Life of a Showgirl twice back when it came out, decided it wasn't for me, then largely stopped thinking about it. Until a few days ago when I woke up out of a dead sleep with "The Fate of Ophelia" stuck in my head? I don't even like that song? Her power??
