Marley, a Werewolf of Wall Street

NYT Reporter Solicited $30K for Charity From Epstein Sources tell The Daily Beast that Landon Thomas Jr. was “pushed out” after confessing he was friends with the sexual predator.

A few years later, Thomas was let go for a flagrant ethics violation involving Epstein (he got him to make a $30,000 donation to the Harlem Cultural Center), who he said he’d become friends with.

I say a version of this at home, I don’t know, weekly.

One of the hardest things to remember in these times is that while things are falling apart, *they are not falling apart because you're not trying hard enough*. They're falling apart because the structures of our society can't prop them up anymore.

You are enough, just as you are.

Gretchen Felker-Martin, Jordan Peele and Jeff Vandermeer are the first ones that come to mind!

I think the theater would need a whole grill setup, since there's a lot of meat eaten in this book... I'll stick with something sweeter. Maybe a spicy chocolate.

If someone makes a movie out of "Good Bones," I want to see Jodie Comer as Mona.

I think my username (or my dogged participation in this chat) gives you the basics on who I am and what I'm doing.

Movie inspiration: Get Out ('social horror' about class predation) and... Devil's Advocate?

I've always said the story is Wolf+Wall Street+Wolf of Wall Street

Honestly the way he talks and behaves around his daughter is all the evidence most people need; the rest is gravy.

Alright, here's the big setpiece in the 🏳️‍⚧️ James Bond reboot...

'What's the point of standards? I don't have any, and they just put me in charge of CBS News!'

"I have never seen the AI Michael Caine, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the planet it helped destroy, and it was terrific."

"Some men just want to watch the world burn (because of AI data center proliferation causing an immense increase in electricity use)"

Do you think anyone tried to tell her the song is about drugs?

I have to wonder if this article is about drumming up interest (or lowering expectations?) for the reboot, because everybody knows the Bond people don't care about continuity this way.

Hey, they successfully changed the argument from 'Republicans have cut off SNAP payments and your holiday flight is getting canceled' to 'your health insurance premiums are going up, and Republicans are responsible even though we didn't do anything about it except force a vote we knew we'd lose.'

It also illustrates how central Russian propaganda is in this effort (that's where the rumor about Khelif being trans comes from)

I see we're working along similar lines!

The story begins with Bond having transitioned, bada bing bada boom; from there it pays exactly as much attention to continuity as every other Bond reboot (none)

Pretending they’re Seal Team Six makes them feel tough and lets them hide from community judgment (bc they’re cowards).

I have one thought: cast @theabigailthorn.bsky.social. Solves every problem 😂

Did the other German parties do this much to actually help the Nazis? I feel like they can’t have.

That's exactly how you should take it!

This guy practiced medicine as an obstetrician for decades; it makes more sense to assume he’s pretending not to understand the concept of insurance

He’s literally an OB/GYN!

In my more cynical moments, I think leadership is trying to demoralize the progressive base so they can get back to the “serious” work of strategically losing.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Remember that time the NYT breathlessly reported that a Parkinson's expert visiting the White House and implied that maybe it had something to do with Biden—with no reporting to support it, and a bunch that contradicted it? Good times, good times.
