Probably a sense that he is likely running and does a solid enough job trolling MAGA online. People like that part but trolling isn’t governing and leftists seem to think us enjoying Newsom turn the social media tables is us supporting him.

Yes but it’s also one of the most quotable films ever made. With a very timely anti-fascist message and fantastic performances to boot.

Why wouldn’t it draw crowds? This film is one of the greatest classics for a reason.

My first thought was that it was Bastet DOING the burgling.

They can’t look to the past or future. Otherwise they must confront all values they gave up for short-term gain, or the consequences they’ll face in the future for endorsing all this.

This is indeed a Super Bowl and Sleep day. Cold weather will do that to you.

You have no idea how good this double act felt to me. More Wonder Man and Muppets please- hell have Simon and Miss Piggy team up for a table read.

I want to see an episode of the new Muppet Show guest starring Daisy Ridley and @markhamillofficial.bsky.social. But then Rey Skywalker and BB-8 crash land on some sort of comedy variety show planet and then Luke’s ghost has to help, too. Also, Angus MacGarnagle, the gargling gargoyle.

Imagine being such a bully and coward that a 5 year old in an adorable hat must be hurt to gain some semblance of fake superiority.

It's called a lot of pissed off millennials and zoomers with expert social media know-how.

It is funny watching people take an interest in New Jersey as the future... after god knows how many years of demeaning NJ for a variety of reasons.

If you're from Jersey, you probably know what I mean lol.

So it looks like the next big sign that change is underway is happening in my county. Special election is neck and neck but Mejia has a slight lead. Hopefully she can keep it.

What do we think the ratio is Super Bowl fans preferring the game, the food, or the commercials? Because I definitely prefer the last one lol

resistance liberalism is emerging as the dominant force in the anti-fascist coalition & that's triggering some people's neuroses

Send Help might be Sam Raimi’s best film in a while. And I say this as someone who enjoyed Multiverse of Madness for the most part. Crazy Raimi is the best kind of Raimi.
