I've honestly never laughed so hard at a deposition in my life (and immediately wept because this bag of hammers wrecks - present tense - so many lives)

I think about this quote an unreasonable amount, and I hope the person who said it knows that they're a complete buffoon of the highest order.

Wrestlers: increase your rates 15% - especially if the promoter is a Trump supporter.

Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

Wait, I just found some clips online.
That's... look, I'll take Griffith at his word that he wasn't trying to seem borderline-fanatically bigoted, but really man; this could have used a second draft.

Was it just impossible to find mixed-race extras back then? All of these half-breed northern soldiers are played by white actors in makeup!

Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?)

a) require Congress to utilize the War Powers Resolution Act

b) every time Congress gives the President approval to go to war, one member of Congress must be randomly selected to be placed on the front lines along the troops

Beyond tired of turgid men sending others to die. You do it.

Congratulations to Brandi Carlile for being named one of Time magazineโ€™s 2026 Women of the Year!

Thank you for always using your voice to fight for justice โ€” for women, for immigrants, and for everyone in this country.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Are those the Peter Ustinov Poirot films? Evil Under the Sun was outrageously well cast (and even better dressed).

Was there plans for a larger series (or are you counting Xenosaga)?

As amazing as the story is, would have loved a few more turn-based RPGs that played just like it.

Trump will absolutely not stop unless he is stopped. It wouldn't take much to stop himโ€”he's a coward. But if those who have institutional power don't act, the current crisis will get even worse. He has no self-control and is giddy over the death and suffering he's inflicting.

The downside of emailing and calling Senator Fetterman to tell him he fucking sucks is that his aides send his newsletter to your inbox.

Yes, folks have agency & the authoritarians are to blame for DOGE, this illegal war, Hegseths' fundamentalist Crusader nonsense about the country & war, etc. But also, none of this stuff happens if we haven't encouraged 50 years of "The Troops are The Only Public Employees Who Matter" 24/7/365.

It's impossible for me to understand how people watch this shit, it's the most obvious "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" shit imaginable.

Guess it's @pkrugman.bsky.social's oft-cited "epistemic closure" among audience - overt resistance to pesky contrary facts.

Always check the FOX News' homepage in days of catastrophe for GOP to see framing.

DJIA down 5% over the last month
Oil creeping towards $100
Massive job losses in February
Trump's unpopular war

None above the fold bc we need the (un)subtle racism of TWO items featuring Omar and "The Squad."

Also don't think Fleming knowingly wrote Bond as a creep, but book Bond is definitely a creep.
