Danny De Maio (he/him)

Pete Hegseth is the quarterback that berates his teammates for lack of talent, pats himself on the back for it, and immediately gets sacked. And then of course blames everyone else. What an absolute twerp.

This is my ideal humor. Definitely ready to be a dad.

The transportation secretary (Sean Duffy) can ask fliers to dress more formally when the airlines stop forcing 6 people in a row that actually fits 4. Until then, my fellow passengers can dress as comfortably as they want.

Been watching HITLER & THE NAZIS: EVIL ON TRIAL, and the rhetoric of Schicklgruber & his goon squad is echoed in ~this~ man’s messaging. He is showing you who he is, so believe it.

TRAIN DREAMS crushed me. The best book-to-film adaptation I’ve seen in many years. Script, acting, editing, runtime, all perfect. Watch it now.

Also, Denis Johnson was a fucking genius.

This new #Prewn album (SYSTEM) is a little monster. Incredible vocals, songwriting, and guitar work.

Bravo/Brava to the person that leaked this.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Trump’s playdate with Mohammed bin Salman took a handsy turn

The fact that a president calling for the death of Democrats opposing him is a third-tier story on a Thursday says everything about where we are.

👏 👏 👏 This brought me a strange amount of satisfaction to read haha

"I was asleep before. ...When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it."

“The Gold-Bug” is not showy at all, but it’s one of Poe’s stories that gets better each time you read it.

It is pretty ridiculous that the Criterion Collection simply exists to go “here are very good movies that we present to you to buy and watch with some thoughtfulness” and that’s all it takes to be successful because it’s rare that anyone does that shit

If you don’t want to have MOBY-DICK spoiled, avoid watching THE BEAST IN ME 😂

MTG’s about-face has to be related to what she knows about what/who is in the Epstein files.

Trump’s about-face on releasing them speaks to the fact that he now feels safe in their release after being scrubbed from them.

This is not a coincidence, y’all.

The parallels between pre-WWII Nazi storm troopers and present-day ICE are staggering.

I adore much of GDT’s work all the way back to THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE, but FRANKENSTEIN was a miss for me. Dialogue spoon-feeding themes (Victor, you’re the monster. 🙄 Duh, bro 😂), saggy middle, and a reimagining of Elizabeth that doesn’t work.

But Elordi is the best Creature.

If you love great ghost stories that never give in to cliche, EASTMOUTH & OTHER STORIES from Alison Moore is for you. Will be thinking about this one for a while.

My guy, if you want to pick a fight with someone for no reason, X is definitely the platform for you.

#MegynKelly saying that Epstein was ~not~ a pedophile because the girls were 15 and “the barely legal type” is both abhorrent and a lie. 15 is not the legal age of consent in either FL or NY. The hoops these Trump cultists will jump through for their leader is astounding.

@eddiewojo.bsky.social, we seem to be politically aligned but not on this particular topic haha

Colour Revolt were such a fucking amazing band. I hope the kids find them band and force them to tour again.

I think Aaron Judge is an amazing player (& person), but @mlb.com got it wrong. Cal Raleigh was the most valuable player to his team and plays the hardest position on the diamond.

If there was any question that Republican legislators hate women, allow @jessicavalenti.bsky.social to present Exhibit Z.

HAHAHAHAHA Legit can’t wait for Mamdani to make public transpo free to NYers before Trump can disperse a measly 2k for tariffs.

Not yet, only speaking to the trailer at this point.

Legit cried at the ending of this movie when I was 8.

Speaking as a homeowner, this 50-year mortgage is one of the more idiotic ideas to come out of Trump‘s mouth (which is saying something). The monthly payment is hardly different and you pay more interest over time. Most importantly is obfuscates the main issue: INCOME INEQUALITY!!!

The OOZ is still the best album of the last 20 years to me. And walking around NY this time of year only reinforces that. #KingKrule
