Thought about it, don’t think so, too much else in its bones

It genuinely is, as well as being a goddamn delight.

Jaws created the summer blockbuster. It still does not qualify here. You simpletons. You rubes.

Some yes, some no. A fickle mistress.

This is fair. Never been my movie really but I get it.

This is absolutely correct

These are both good calls

I actually considered this and I think you’re right

Guys baseball movies are not fundamentally summer movies. They are baseball movies. Summer slashers are slashers. Etc etc. These need to have SUMMER or WINTER as their root, a backbone. As defined by me, some dipshit.

I will accept Stand By Me as a summer movie though I think it has some other vibes.

Hundreds of Beavers a great winter addition. Groundhog Day is not, in fact, a holiday movie.

what a fun contribution

Hot Tub Time Machine is a great winter addition. The Thing is snowy but not a WINTER movie. The Shining… I’ll allow it.

Caddyshack is a good SUMMER addition.

Best definitively SUMMER movies:

-Do the Right Thing
-Wet Hot American Summer
-Snack Shack
-Dazed and Confused
-Summer of Sam
-American Graffiti

Best definitively (non-holiday) WINTER movies:

-Fargo
-Hateful Eight
-Winter’s Bone
-Groundhog Day

Do Hegseth next

The existence of a "Shield of the Americas" suggests the ascendance of a "Hydra of the Americas"

"nobody questions the success of the military operation" uh hang on where does the entire murdered school fit in to that "success"

c'mon everyone she is clearly just taking questions in her absolutely real and important function as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas

lol

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem: 9/1 odds Noem, like Rubio, has gladly plastered herself across TV and other media these last few months to trumpet the administration’s ongoing descent into fascistic cruelty. But she somehow seems to court weird controversy — like this weekend, when she had her bag stolen from a DC restaurant, which for some absurd reason contained her passport and $3,000 in cash. Noem can’t protect her own purse, let alone the Homeland, and at some point it will catch up to her.

It took almost a year from when I set the odds (and the assumption at that point was that Hegseth wouldn't survive, so, oops), but Noem cashes in at 9/1.

oh good a saner DHS secretary

By BEN LEFEBVRE 03/05/2026 05:00 AM EST f • • • President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations. The White House is "looking under every rock for ideas on improving energy prices, especially gasoline prices," said one of the executives, who was granted anonymity to describe internal administration discussions.

I have an idea. Here’s my idea: We should have had this meeting last week before we started bombing Iran. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

A lot of "some day they'll all have been against this" vibes out there right now

Almost a year later this still seem very true, it’s all a matter of getting the news to people who haven’t been paying a ton of attention but can still be shocked by it all

"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."

Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.

I know the number will never be zero or anything but goddamn I look forward to a time when a few less awful people are in charge of important things
