Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is the cathartic, fuck A.I. Twilight Zone-ish anthology-ish movie I needed right now.

Handsome at Any Cost

The darkest, most dystopian fiction cannot match the sadness for humanity I felt from reading this profile.

Miss fuzzy 90s/early 00s female-fronted alt rock? Check out Pony. Their new album scratches that Josie & the Pussycats itch.

Want more romance for Valentine’s Day? Go read books by my favorite romance writer @jchenwriter.bsky.social (who, yes, also happens to be my beautiful and talented wife). Her latest swoony delight comes out in June and you can pre-order it now. bookshop.org/p/books/chec...

Star Wars make me want to fight for a better future. All of its flavors - original trilogy, prequels, The Last Jedi, and especially Rebels and Andor - they all spiritually fueled me for where we are now.

If you thought that Bad Bunny halftime show was inappropriate, what’s it like living in the town from Footloose?

Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Green Day, Brandi Carlisle, SistaStrings, and Coco Jones. This Super Bowl was a damn good concert.

I lost respect for all celebrities in AI ads but gained respect for all celebrities in that Pokemon ad.

Now that we got Momoa as Lobo, a question for VFX folks: about 15 years ago, somebody showed me test footage of a CGI Lobo in a scene with actress Tania Raymonde. Does anyone know what project that was for, or how close it came to happening? The CGI looked good, so I’ve always been curious.

100%. Their last album, The Window, is really good too. Enjoy!

Need a pick me up from this world? Check out the good new albums from Ratboys, LAPΓͺCHE, and J. Cole!

Not an ad. I have no involvement in any of these. They're just powering me through the day.

Yes, the guy who called for the deaths of the Central Park Five decades ago really is that racist.

Ratboys Grow Up - SPIN One of the delights of the prior Ratboys album, 2023’s The Window, is that I could recommend it to almost any indie rock fan. You like beautiful β€˜Singin’ to an Empty Chair’ finds the Chicago indie roc...

The new Ratboys album comes out tomorrow and you may ask is it indie, Americana, fuzzy 90s, or pop-punk? The answer: yes, and it’s pretty great. Check out my review for @spinmag: www.spin.com/2026/02/ratb...

The family and I all LOVE the new Muppet Show. We need a full series ASAP!

Also, Sabrina Carpenter passes the most important celebrity test: can act with Muppets!

Rumor: Bezos killed The Washington Post because it was about to run this undoctored photo of him from 2001.

Just a reminder: you don't need anything from Amazon. Their entire business is based on simply copying and undercutting other businesses. Support other businesses and help push Bezos back to being the lonely freak he truly is.

Let’s say the there were government-deployed deathbeds eating people.

I wouldn’t want Congress to stop funding the deathbeds.

I wouldn’t even want Congress to promise to keep a better eye on the deathbeds.

I would want them to abolish the fucking deathbeds.

Do you get it, @democrats.org ?

I was told I’d get more conservative as I get older, but instead each year I’m one step closer to hurling a Molotov cocktail.

The Epstein files make a compelling case for replacing the government and the rich with AI.

President poops pants on tape.
00:33 - it happens
00:50 - Trump gestures to leave
00:53 - Lady behind him gestures it's a code 2
00:54 - PR staff usher everyone out
01:08 - Hot mic catches PR staffer saying "Are we gonna flip for this, or what are we gonna do?...I really can't do this again"

It’s a good one! Or at least an incredibly ambitious and unique one.

This thread is delightful.
