Yeah, there's an asteroid sharing our orbit for the next couple decades (!), but sometimes they're ahead and sometimes we're ahead so it looks like it's orbiting around the Earth. Crazy

I don't think it does: Netflix in two weeks.

As someone who doesn't really have any "talk to/see each other every day-ish" friends, I want all my "talk to/see each other every week-ish" friends to know how much they mean to me. 🤎

Remember how you felt when Levar Burton talked about his tongue skills? The next generation has one too 😂

I mean... once a wheelchair user is involved, it HAS to be related to accessibility.

Many such birthday parties...

It was a catchphrase (8 for work, 8 for sleep, 8 to do what you will) that became a compromise, that got locked in because the only lesson America learned was "destroy unions"

It's literally just the "Who's Who Among American High School Students," but replacing self-congratulatory kids and parents with self-congratulatory CEOs.

Fascist, no. Authoritarian, absolutely.

Never met a wise man
If so, it's a woman

Oliver's most recent contract is from 2023 -- I have to believe he has a clause about something like this in there.

So far, 2025 has felt like living inside a Hieronymus Bosch painting

Hey does anyone want to talk about THE NEWS and if ADVIL WORKS FOR LOWER BACK PAIN??

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?"

A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons.

Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

You might be surprised to learn that this account is ALSO wildly antisemitic.

It read like 40% "No, I'm not totally evil," and 60% "I could still get more jail time/lose contact if they think I thought she might actually hurt herself."

Apart from whole "man, time is a real thing" aspect, the cool thing about "me at 21" threads is the difference between those who turned 21 before photos became real currency (generally, 2006 or so) and those who turned 21 after

The saddest part of the whole thing is that if Palin had a quarter of the chops of his youth, he could have come up with this himself.

Young man wearing a cream sweater with dreadlocks in an updo gives a strong side eye to a shorter black man wearing a stonewashed denim jacket over what looks like a dashiki. Both are on Pop the Balloon - the caption is the shorter man describing his name as "That's Thotmas like the god of thinking."

I do appreciate (darkly), that the National Guard objection isn't even necessarily on ideological grounds, but from a fundamental attitude of "this was not in my job description."

Sam Altman @sama • 13h This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like. Elon Musk @elonmusk • 15h Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any Al company besides OpenAl to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. ...

Short answer - she's been dropping legit bangers pretty consistently over the past several years, and got adopted by the kinda folks who rank Carly Rae Jepsen "top 5, dead or alive"

I appreciate that Apple TV appears committed to a premium cable model of "We're releasing 4-6 shows solid middlebrow shows a year". They don't have the output of the others, but everything I've heard about has landed between "enjoyable" and Severance

"I hope he dies."
