Lazenby got a raw deal, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of the best.

My new rule is that I can scroll through until I come to someone advertising their stream or self-published book, at which point I block them and have to put down my phone.

Public service! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

For example, rich people buy one hundred percent of the Lamborghinis sold in this country--100%!

I like using cutting-edge technology to convincingly illustrate otherwise implausible lies--it's very validating!

It used to be that if you were an insanely obnoxious crank you had to keep a lid on it, otherwise you'd be lonely. No longer! That's progress! I guess!

"It's better to get a bunch of terrible change I really didn't want than some of the change I do want" is a pretty wack position to take.

Yes, "some progress" pretty much implies "not all progress." I don't see how this is unclear

The do-nothing Democrats you reference actually did plenty. Maybe not exactly everything I would have preferred, but some progress was made in some areas. And compared with the wreck-everything Republicans who are in the ascendency now? Come on.

There is a tiny minority the rest of us ought to come together and work to eliminate, I agree with that at least.

Billionaires. I mean the billionaires. Obviously.

I feel like this Frankenstein + the new Wuthering Heights is a mistimed Barbenheimer for this year. Except that in this case they both looked painful to sit through.

Marco Rubio has men's Mar-a-Lago face.

Finally, a guy with fuck-you money says fuck you.

I feel like it shouldn't take four months to make this place look better

Weird spike in "curling tights" as a Pornhub search term recorded

That dress is an Audrey Hepburn movie!

I always have to pause the graduation-speech scene to look for my best friend's sister's best friend, who I had a massive crush on in high school.

So I am saying there are semantic shades to the meaning of the word "nonfiction." Reportage is one thing but it's not the only kind of journalism or even nonfiction.

My Atlantic com't:

This is the kind of article I wish more outlets would produce: rigorously researched, broadly factual, and emotionally persuasive. When the country is being engulfed by a cabal of people perfectly willing to lie persuasively, the ability to share truth persuasively is critical.

Seriously, this Guardian writer response to this Atlantic article is making me wonder if The Guardian is really a particularly reliable journalistic outlet. The Atlantic story is written in the second-person point of view and is therefore CLEARLY not meant to be literally factual.

Totally understandable. I'm stupid and have trouble using my imagination, too.

SO TRUE

Thank you for confirming everything I suspected when I chose not to see this movie.

And there are some comedians who great at playing jerks even though they seem like they're probably nice people in real life. Will Arnett strikes me as . . . the other type.

FDA refuses to consider Moderna flu shot in move experts claim is part of ‘anti-vaccine agenda’ Experts say ‘they’re just coming up with reasons’ as agency says application lacked ‘adequate and well controlled’ trial

Do Republican congress members just not own stock in pharma companies or something?

I liked exactly two things about One Battle After Another: all the Chase scenes, and the final chase scene.

The problem with electing the guy who's amoral enough to win at all costs is that he'll keep being amoral once he's in office.

I mean I kind of feel like the same could be said of Harris supporters. AOC, Sanders, these are people with a point of view. Harris is just sort of there. I think people who are in favor of Newsom see him as the kind of vile political player who will do whatever it takes to win.

During Trump 1 I was walking home up Mass Ave one day and an older black man coming my way said "SPICER!" I said, "Uh, you think I look like Sean Spicer?" He was pretty skeptical that I wasn't him. Insulting.

Does it count as an anti-ICE account if I only point out that ICE is a bunch of unAmerican tubby dipshits every once in a while?
