No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

These are amazing!

I'm sorry, but if you were against this halftime show you are a loser.

Hating the Game The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

It's Tennessee. Same thing.

If we do win back both houses of Congress we will absolutely have to hold the party leaders' feet to the fire to get them to do what's needed to safeguard our democracy. Schumer and Jeffries won't do a damned thing unless forced to.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

I mean, he's not wrong.

everything is terrible so here’s the swedish chef doing rapper’s delight

I will even suggest a title: The Muppets Take Mamdani

I hate needles, and I STILL want this injected into my veins.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

...I have questions.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

Mentor. Share your knowledge. Expect nothing back. Much like the people who mentored you did.

And if no one did, be the mentor you wish you had. Be more to the arts than the words you leave behind. Help create the next generation of talent. It's on us to make a better future than we were raised in.

Fellow writers/directors/producers: It is vitally important not only to secure the ladder behind you while you ascend, but also to make sure there are many women on it as well. Mentorship without strings is essential and there are so few real opportunities for women...because of this exact problem.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

That’s the worst part! The not knowing what’s wrong or how bad it is.

Aren’t we all these days.

Oh, I totally get it. We’ve got five of the little beasts, and I get anxious every time one of them so much as sneezes.

Stay the fuck away from this place!

Maybe he pulled a muscle exploring or escaping? If he were really hurt he’d be hiding somewhere. I’m sure he’ll be fine in a day or so.

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

To be clear: I think the regime's plan to steal the election is doomed to fail. I don't think they're going to pull it off. We can win by voting in huge numbers and mass civil resistance against their crimes.

But, we're much more likely to succeed if we are prepared for their attempt.
