damn. hoping it at least signifies something

i’ll never get over this

Sending Tony Blair to administer a peace plan in Gaza is like having Jeffrey Epstein run an all-girl's boarding school.

The Gaza ceasefire is obviously good news and a relief but three things need to happen: Palestinians need to be key partners in the process, it needs to end in statehood and the rest of the world needs to hold Israel accountable for their genocide.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

I accept your terms.

If you need another reason to see One Battle After Another, it's that it'll have the worst people on the Internet pissing blood because a film that's woke garbage* is making money.

*It's not, but they have the media literacy of those moths that bash their heads into the bright light of a TV screen.

One Battle After Another is about many things but it’s mainly about getting pussy so good it ruins your life

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER was my first “Steely Dan will start speaking to you at a certain age” moment, despite my best efforts resisting it for years

"So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?"

I said, "Yes, that's right."

This is absolutely horrific. To attack a synagogue and kill people, and that too on Yom Kippur. Vile and inexcusable.

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.”

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

I would like to apologize for all the awful and charged rhetoric of late about eating the rich and worker solidarity

Bill Burr Defends Performing at Controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival: “They’re Just Like Us” The actor-comedian details his experience at the event: "Definitely one of the top three experiences I've ever had ... I think it's going to lead to a lot of positive things."

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

One Battle After Another is brilliant, hilarious chaos. Nobody makes films like Paul Thomas Anderson. If there's any justice it'll be a box office and critical hit. Loved it so much I'm walking on air leaving the cinema.

Shane Lowry holing an eagle putt and shouting "fuck you" at the American crowd is the highlight of the Ryder Cup so far.

Even better than McIlroy telling to "shut the fuck up" earlier.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

I once interviewed Babou Ceesay for a short-lived Sky procedural called Wolfe. He was a sound man, and so I'm really pleased to see him knocking it out of the park on Alien: Earth. Well played, man, so deserved! 👏

Are you still talking about Tyler Robinson?
