This is honestly what I’d like someone to tell, say, Greta Gerwig.

I love my country the way Anthony Bourdain did, appreciating it as the home of the last Popeye’s buffet in existence.

Kris nailed it 40 years ago. Happy 4th.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Reminds me of when Chris Christie said he was giving him the name Donald DUCK. That really showed him.

I think people still ride for Terms of Endearment and The Last Emperor but admittedly they don’t have the same cultural footprint

It seems to me that Peter Theil is not smart in the way that a lot of men who are smart but vain become not smart - they decide that an unorthodox view makes them sound even smarter and then surround themselves with others dedicated to that view and try to be the biggest fish in that small pond.

University of Virginia President Under Pressure From Trump’s D.O.J. to Resign

they want to force UVA’s president to resign because he thinks it would be bad if the university reverted to being a lily-white finishing school for the failsons of the old guard southern elite www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

James Bond getting out of his plane seat to announce we finally got Blofeld would be a beautiful scene.

Couldn’t have come at a better time tbh

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship.

Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it.

What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

Starting to think Joe Rogan’s “make u smrt” Alphabrain pills are a scam

The hats on the plane departing BNA is just too much. I get it, it’s hard to pack a cowboy hat but please put it in your lap.

Love being at the Nashville airport where all the departing tourists are decked out in cowboy hats and boots just like the locals all definitely wear.

A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

The most disturbing part of this is that only when he criticized Jewish people was the student disciplined. He could freely call for the death & disappearance of Black people via rescinding the Civil War amendments & apparently that’s just good scholarship.

A top 3 American songwriter of all time. Listen to LOVE YOU today. I hope he finds the peace in death that was such a struggle for him to maintain through most of his life.

@timheidecker.bsky.social Tim, you should definitely read the John Ganz book someone recommended on your Friday podcast. It's called When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s. Really shines a light on where all the current Trump shit came from.

It’s probably mine. It seems extremely personal. It didn’t work for me upon release but it really clicked with me when I hit my late 30s. It’s a coming of age movie for men leaving their youth and approaching middle age and responsibilities.

Good interview with Murray and Anderson on Elvis Mitchell’s podcast this week. Murray has a lot to say about Life Aquatic.

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops
