100%.
Old school example: I distinctly remember watching Misery, wanting so badly for James Caan to fuck up Kathy Bates, because why wouldn’t you root for her painful demise?!
But afterwards, I sat in the car upon leaving the theater and felt sick from how revenge-thirsty it had made me.

We have had at least three of four seasons this week

They could’ve tried to orchestrate a split vote, but that’s very tough without having Savannah as the second option.

A Sweeping Yoko Ono Immersion at the MCA Here’s why you shouldn’t miss the exclusive U.S. appearance of the <em>Music of the Mind</em> exhibition.

Agreed — it’s an amazing experience.

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

I wish I owned this! If I did, I’d frame it.

Well, he's certainly stayed consistent on that point!

With her best parade wave!

This lab is key for tracking deadly waves. Its sensors are about to go offline. After NOAA cut funding to the lab that’s been monitoring seismic activity for more than 25 years, nine stations tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes for the agency will go offline by the end of the mo...

$300,000

That's it. Nine tsunami-tracking stations going offline over a $300,000 funding cut.

That's like 1.5 ICE agents/year.

Probably less than it cost just to fix potholes caused by Trump's birthday parade.

What are we doing here?

George Retes on His 3 Day ICE Detention

What a great few weeks it’s been for people once pardoned by Trump.

Hi, longtime constituent here. Called your office but couldn’t leave a voicemail. If you, as is being reported, vote yes on this non-deal to end the shutdown, your legacy will be: Durbin the coward. Durbin the dupe. Durbin the sellout. Read the room.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law.

Just got the 16e. Works great.

I wonder if there’s some bogus factory-default setting on your phone that’s enabling AI or something to constantly run in the background? I learned here on the Sky that Chrome automatically turned that crap on, and I had to actively shut them off.

Former Kentucky marriage license clerk and connoisseur of Mormon compound prairie couture, Kim Davis, believes that marriage is sacred. And all three of her former husbands (one, she divorced twice) agree. #ChristainNationalistBusybodyHypocrites

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Jury finds sandwich guy was actually a hero.

It’s happened dozens of times before. A Survivor catchphrase is often the solution to a Survivor word puzzle.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech

In this situation, Dems wouldn’t have anything to do with removing the president through the 25th Amendment. That’s up to JD Vance and the cabinet secretaries. (Which makes it even less likely to happen, unless you think Vance has some Macbeth in him.)

Great news! Thanks for sharing. (Also: Mark Joseph Stern is awesome.)

WOW, what a stunner! So great to see how Shuster captured action moments and also played with perspective.

Democrats are on track for a double-digit number of flips in the Virginia state House. The chamber will be unrecognizable come January.

Ooh, what a haul! I bet that Absolute Multiversity is a delight of a doorstop. And the Slow Horses novels too — well done.

Lots of Chicago cops live in this far NW Side neighborhood. Nobody here wants ICE and Border Control goons kidnapping their fellow Chicagoans!
