Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries recording music on SoundCloud to being one of the most streamed artists in the world. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinos that Republicans say should make them natural conservatives. Instead they are crashing out on him.

Uh, slavers famously *censored* the Christian Bible, ripping out all the parts about justice and liberation, to prevent the slaves from getting any ideas about their own humanity.

Jared Leto *is* AI: a tacky thing corporations keep forcing on consumers by putting him in everything even though he’s unprofitable and nobody likes it

For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the β€œGerman Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.  
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake β€œmass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these β€œuseful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

It’s perfect that this episode aired three weeks before Toy Story. Got in at right the last minute before Tron was no longer the cultural reference point for computer animation

Gonna be kinda shocked if this doesn't come back to haunt them in the midterms.

They gave 20b to Argentina while your farm went bankrupt is, uh, not a hard line to land.

TRON is a super cult-ass franchise *anyway* but I promise you more people would have gone to see it in theaters if Jared Leto wasn't in it

If HBO Max aired Tilda on a double bill with The Miraculous Year, their 2010 pilot about a Sondheim-like Broadway composer, with Kathryn Bigelow directing Norbert Leo Butz, Frank Langella, Hope Davis, and Patti LuPone, it would be the most πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ event of the TV year.

By the way: Isn't it time somebody released (or leaked) Tilda, the HBO pilot that starred Diane Keaton as a Nikki Finke-like gossip columnist? Also with, I believe, Elliot Page, Wes Bentley, Jason Patric, Sanaa Lathan. 2011, many cooks inc. Bill Condon, at least two versions.

I’m glad I could postpone my WAITING FOR GODOT because my brain is still with Genndy Tartakovsky hissing into his microphone, trying to spit something out of his system, at a β€œI want to ask about the level of AI Integration in your animation” inquiry.

 The movie gets a B+. The Tatum female followers who were over 25 did show some at 38%, but overall demo was guys at 53%. It’s a small-scale date movie in regards to the grosses and 41% showing up with a partner, spouse, girlfriend and boyfriend. Diversity demos were 55% Caucasian, 20% Latino and Hispanic, 10% Black, 7% Asian American and 8% Native American. Some PLFs, with play in the East, South and Midwest. AMC Burbank was the pic’s top grossing location with close to $12K so far.

"41% showing up with a partner, spouse, girlfriend AND boyfriend" - wow, didn't know Tatum had THAT many polyamorous fans but good for them managing to have all four lol

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Only 4% of Americans think Trump claims about Tylenol and autism β€˜definitely true’ Americans are largely divided on partisan lines on whether they trust the Trump administration’s health claims on autism and vaccines

Some good news: Most people don't trust Trump and RFK Jr.'s claims about autism.
Just four percent of respondents told a KFF poll they believed the claim was definitely true, while 30 percent said it was probably false and 35 percent said it was definitely false
