Out of all the lovely choices made in the Dunk & Egg finale, my favorite might have been… the use of jazz(?!)

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

New Carvel fans should check out the Strange & Norrell miniseries!

A travesty that NBC didn’t show the Kazakh kid who skated in the Kung-fu Panda suit! That was hilarious!

No. You don’t get the skater with facial piercings and weird hair. You get country singers named Bunt Gruntley and Mormon wife influencers with poorly done extensions and that’s what you get. Sorry

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is the first non-Zelda game I’ve *ever* put over 100 hours into on a single playthrough. There’s so much to do but I’m not burned out at all, it just rips

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word β€œfascism” during press junkets in 2025.

Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

I have read and loved every single Rodger Newsletter these Games. Penisgate, Messy Biathalon, Curling Swears, Alysa Liu being the coolest person ever, and now perhaps his crowning analytical achievement: NORWAY OR NO WAY

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

I know American men haven't been successful at the Olympics. But I really believe that if we televise men's sports and get them some financial support, there's real upside there. Think about it: Nearly half of all Americans are men, surely some of them might be good at sports

We do not send rich people to jail in America, we simply fine them a token amount of the vast wealth we have allowed them to accumulate and that they will never miss. Sometimes they don't pay the fine and we send their attorneys a strongly worded letter, or even slightly increase the fine

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

seeing news about a "memory shortage." it's not a shortage. billionaires who hate you hoarded it all so they could make everything worse and stupider and more expensive, just like with most shortages

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
