It's not all bad news, Liz! I'm a reaction image now! They're putting together a shared-universe IP and they need a replacement after the little girl in front of the burning house got arrested for insurance fraud.

Seated for Frankenstein. Overheard this theater worker, a lot of the food is gone because people keep coming to see this movie in theaters.

Speaking of new tech foes, I hate how they've yassified Woody and Buzz. They are supposed to be toys! Made of plastic! Their skin is allowed to be shiny! Their faces are allowed to be exaggerated! They aren't meant to be literally tiny humans with subsurface-scattering flesh!

Everywhere I go, people come up to me on the street and ask me if there's going to be another one! Mike Meyers, on 9/11

This is one of the things I hate most about modern capitalism. The idea of making money has been fully peeled away from delivering any kind of goods or services that people would want to pay money for.

The restaurant where I order my poke bowl changed their ingredients and upped the price. So I get less fresh food, more ultra processed crap, AND I have to pay more for that 🙄

So fine, I bought everything I need to make them now because fuck that shit

Like $25 for a rice bowl like come on

👏👏👏

why are they "trad wives" and not "girls gone laura ingalls wilder"

they trying to bring data centers to two rural areas here, near aa and ypsi. trying to speed it through before the people can do anything about it

You can think this is about Sweeney or whatever, but between this and that Safdie movie with The Rock, it's clear that America has no appetite for biopics about marginally famous people who fought other people for a living in the 1990s.

I miss my dog. I miss looking down. I miss checking to see if she's asleep. I miss her breathing. I miss her indifference to whether I'm busy. I miss the sound of her drinking from her water bowl. I miss her delight in having a completely predictable day. Death sucks.

Imagine killing 600,000 black and brown people with a few keystrokes and not having a care in the world but one little old white lady drags you on Twitter and you spiral for a week.

Autocorrect tried to help me this morning in writing the title

THE RUINING MAN

and now I want to see that movie. He just makes a mess of of everything! You try to have a nice dinner, he loses his temper over parking. You try to go for a nice walk, he complains it’s too hot.

THE RUINING MAN!

Our hearts are particularly with our transgender veterans, many of whom have been forced to retire against their will because of the administration’s cruel and discriminatory service ban.

We’ll never stop fighting for the equality you deserve.

Let me run the Bond franchise and I’ll blow him up at the end of every movie. Maybe several times within each movie if it feels right. He’ll be back the next movie (or scene) and nobody will talk about it, but man are we gonna explode that guy a LOT.

Hi 👋🏽 @gtconway.bsky.social we support this wholeheartedly

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Donald Trump has sued the BBC for one billion dollars. The network should wait 40 days and then pay him the entire amount without a trial.

another huge problem writers are facing with a new james bond movie: james bond looks totally different now. its like hes a completely different guy

A tweet from Sahara Stevens (@Sahara_Stevens) reads: “34 of them.” It’s replying to a post from Captain Obvious™ (@TheFungi669) that says: “Karoline Leavitt: ‘President Trump is a man of conviction.’” The response is a play on words referencing Trump’s criminal convictions.

Good one!

Screenshot of Tweets that say: "Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up. My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people who profess to like it."

Welp!

Every time somebody posts “zohran derangement syndrome” my brain autocompletes “had a very shiny nose.”

Whenever one of the guys in a war movie has a fun personality, you know he’s toast. That’s the main reason I never joined the military. Too fun.

A tweet from Annie (@AnnieForTruth) reads: “If you care that Mamdani is Muslim But not that Dr. Oz is Your issue is not his religion.” The post has a purple background with white text and includes a small logo at the bottom: “You Are Now RBG – Continuing Her Life’s Work.”

Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.

It will never not be funny to me that an important writer like Joyce Carol Oates who writes captial S Serious Literature is also really good at posting. It's like if Stravinsky had lived long enough to be really good at Animal Crossing too.

Senate Democrats: what just happened under our current leadership is a total travesty

Also Senate Democrats: i have nothing to say about whether our current leadership may be part of the problem

sorry to be that guy but when will the press corps that just recently was very concerned about presidential cognitive capacity do a story about grandpa repeatedly agreeing with the last person who spoke to him, with chaotic results

I agree with this but would settle for "you have to go someplace that sucks to do it." If you want to do some stupid six-leg parlay you should have to say it aloud to a person through a little microphone at an OTB that's lit like the MTA offices in the original Taking Of Pelham 123.
