Memory Holed: 2018's 'The Predator' Was a Horribly Misguided Misfire There's a reason you forgot Shane Black's sequel existed. Several reasons, actually.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Maybe Zohran Mamdani should have come out for ending the shutdown so Democratic Senators could have opposed it.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

Anybody who has watched the Times pull this shit for ages knows this game. Good piece.

One lesson of the Sandwich Guy Case is now more than ever when you are called to jury duty you should go

Congress Enjoys Ultraluxe Health Care as It Fights to Gut Yours Congress has ensured its members receive ultraluxe health care as Republican keep the government closed over stripping it from Americans.

Big text at the top says "ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur" This is followed by four consecutive drawings that are exactly of that. Grover is a man in his underwear with no ears and large bulbous eyes. A textbox says "this is what you wanted" Cookie monster is a large man with a small head, also in his underwear, with his eyes erupting from the top of his head.

"Your desire for knowledge led you to this point" Elmo is a thin man in underwear, with eyes jutting from the top of his head and a bulbous nose. He has another face coming out of his chest. "ask yourself if you really needed everything answered."

ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur

a screenshot of a tweet from myself that reads "game 7 cheney dead mamdani mayor this november has been relentless (complimentary) and we are only 4 days in," with a little box indicating that "1 label has been placed on this content" classifying it as "rude"

A screenshot of Bluesky's explanation of "labels on your content," with the caveat that "you may appeal these labels if you feel they were placed in error" and a button to "appeal." The explanation for "rude" is "rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose" and "source" is listed as "@moderation.bsky.app."

‘All Her Fault’ Review: Sarah Snook, Dakota Fanning and Jake Lacy Anchor Peacock’s Satisfying Domestic Mystery Michael Peña also stars in this eight-part thriller centering on the disappearance of a 5-year-old boy from a wealthy Chicago neighborhood.

I quite liked ALL HER FAULT, and if you're like, "wait I thought you said yesterday it sucked," this is your PSA that ALL HER FAULT and ALL'S FAIR are two completely different shows premiering 2 days apart.
