You're not doing my TBR pile any good, Maria.
this is one of the most amazing conversations I have ever seen on Bluesky. It’s a shame that the Louvre deleted his account because this should be framed
Annihilation (2018)
The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs.

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
Such beauty.
I memed. No regrets.
Some contemporary news coverage of the Choctaw Nation's Gift from 1847.
The last piece mentions another donation from the slaves on a plantation somewhere south of the Mason Dixon line.
Your opinion on tagging authors in negative reviews is a litmus test as to whether or not you suck as a person.

They've done it before.
Steps in Trump war rhetoric:
1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war
2. We won the war
3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won

I’m heartbroken to learn of the loss of six service members, including three Ohioans deployed with Ohio’s National Guard.
My thoughts are with their families and loved ones. Ohio will remember their service, love of their country, and their sacrifice.
Samara Weaving has been in some great movies. I loved Eenie Meanie and Ready or Not. But I can't wait to see her get some better roles. She's going to be huge and needs the right script to get her there. Such a damn presence.
Oh, hey...
Because they've got Vlad.

The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.
Discuss.
There is no bottom.
“A fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch: using an image from Saturday’s dignified transfer honoring six fallen US soldiers, it promises access to the president’s “private national security briefings.”
“Fuck! I’m dying!” during a press conference. “Fuck! I’m fucking dying! Oh God, it hurts! Ahhhhhhh!” Trump said in response to a question about the ongoing war in Iran
“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”
I. Fucking. Love. It.
So honestly...if you were a member of the Iranian regime, the bet that you can outlast Trump - that you are willing to endure bombs and blockade longer than the American public will accept $100 a barrel (or $150 or $200) oil...that looks like a pretty likely bet.
Note the noise cancelling headphones so she doesn't have to listen to him open that cakehole.
It's been an honor serving with you.
Never in a million years would I expect that I’d be doing military analysis for a gonzo news and culture site. But here we are.
