I think people have it in their head that great directors are at the height of their powers when they're like in their 50s but a lot of their enduring classics are made when they're younger. Coogler was 38 when Sinners was released, PTA was 37 for There will be Blood, Cameron was barely 30 for T1
This man was regarded as an unstoppable political genius throughout the '90s
The important thing is that we waste hundreds of millions of dollars in one fell swoop, let's not let tactics get in the way of goals here
Clyburn endorsed Cuomo in the NYC primary as the "future of the national democratic party." Even his much vaunted status as a kingmaker is in free fall.
Techbros have officially reached the level of delusion where they think their hatred of anyone who isn't in STEM or finance somehow connects them with the working class
He may think he's a young hotshot but these 74 year old whippersnappers need to pay their dues to impress the veteran 80 year olds
I haven't been there since 2021 or so, is there new management?
The George Strait of Hormuz
It's always the ones you most suspect
He has decided he needs to spend more time not with his wife and kids
Bluesky is an echo chamber of liberals and leftists who left twitter. Threads is an echo chamber of people who weren't getting enough engagement on LinkedIn and also can't read.
Say what you will about Iraq but at least the uncritical propaganda buildup didn't also include ads for like, Clippy
The most important part of being a democratic senator today is having a separate voice when you're sending out panicked fundraising emails or speaking to liberal wine moms, and when you're talking to a room of 99 other oligarchs who you think are your friends
It's cool that national papers are not just uncritical war hawks in the traditional sense, they're also hawking unproven technology that can barely do spreadsheets
Paleontologists just found Earth’s oldest “butthole” impression. The 299-million-year-old imprint was planted by a lizardlike reptile cooling off in some mud.
Sometimes life as a science journalist takes you strange places.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
Almost as if transphobia is a luxury belief that normal people with real problems don't buy into and you have to be say, a syndicated columnist with nothing better to do
If I were genuinely enthusiastic about a new technology I would probably put in some effort to advertise its supposed benefits, not ominously insist on its inevitability.
Suggesting Trump "hasn't explained himself" or whatever already implies the false premise that he or any of his goons have given this any thought beyond how it will appear to their far right twitter base for more than like a week.
Both candidates are strong and seem to have energized the party. It's still a long shot but at least Texas dems have decided against right-tacking transphobic losers like Colin Allred.
Oh come on. It's not like the US has a history of lumping all Muslim thought and culture into a single otherized category that nobody in power has bothered to differentiate in geographic, ethnic, national or theological terms.
The US used to at least put on a show of pretending to care about women and girls in the middle east before committing atrocities there. Now they can barely pretend to even pretend to care.
I don't see why people struggling to afford rent would be uninspired by a wealthy warmongering career politician having zero effs left to give
The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace
That is all anybody in this administration is after. Before anything else - white supremacists, misogynists, transphobes etc - they are content creators.
It's incredibly insulting to the average democratic voter to suggest that Trump has some kind of plan and he's just hiding it from us.
You also don't have to pay for a bluecheck here, which plays into the affordability crisis that I'm told incumbent elected democrats care so much about
It is not surprising that the guys who have insisted that learning history or the humanities is a waste of time are incredibly credulous when it comes to taking the government at its word
Real mystery how an administration of fundamentally unserious content creators who are constantly online and who only see themselves as accountable to their far right base would mainstream far right language
