Darkest Timeline JDP

The website has been sanewashing Trump, too. It was the one news app left on my phone. I deleted it after they treated the East Wing like an episode of Property Brothers.

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

Farewell sweet Prince

Does he know how to laugh?

I got a new phone for the first time in five years, so like an old fart with a greater sense of mortality I’m mostly excited I can stretch time on the lock screen.

I mean I’m in awe. The longest text I’ve ever sent was prob three sentences with maybe MAYBE two emojis.

Probably not. At the presser fer sure, tho.

That’s fucking dedication to the art.

He just now hearing about it.

THEY'RE PLAYING NOT LIKE US AT THE MAMDANI CAMPAIGN RALLY

It’s a weird system. I’ve never thought so much about judge retention. The joys of 2025.

You never know until you know — and they were throwing money into this race. It’s nice seeing these asshats burn money on 30 point losses.

I was really down on my new movie selections late, but DEADLINE AT DAWN (Harold Clurman, 1946) — currently streaming on the @criterionchannl.bsky.social — totally changed my fate. It’s a fun, ambling “one crazy night” noir with deliciously purple dialogue and great leads in Hayward and Lukas.

True. It rules. Such a satisfying conclusion.

I saw this on an individual social level, too. My friend group in school was black and Jewish and, well, me. Oh, and the Polish kid from Hamtramck. I miss this dynamic — one of the things that made the city such a great place to grow up.

If only we had a rule for something like this.

I didn’t think I could love Mamdani more — but this made my heart swell three extra sizes.

If you need a hype man, I talk about my first watch of MEMORIES during this especially memorable @cinemashame.bsky.social episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

But it’s so fucking good.

I wasn’t prepared for that conversation. Not even the LMAO! prepared me for that.
