You know this isn't about Carly Rae Jepsen otherwise it would be 100%

daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"

This man does not represent us.

Hudson Williams kinda straddling Carney while standing up? They’re both thrilled

Meanwhile, in Canada: One of the Heated Rivalry boys gave one of the show’s fabricated Team Canada Olympics fleeces to the prime minister and this happened

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Opposition party doing so good that they’re gonna pass a law that exists already and tell us it’s a win 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Very selfishly, I am delighted about TikTok’s decline.

That app accelerated AAVE theft on a level I had never seen or experienced IN MY LIFE.

Elinor the Cat is taking your phone away, and honestly, can you blame her?

Elinor Catwood suggests putting down the device, grabbing some water, refilling the dry food and then coming to lay down for a cuddle.

Darren Aronofsky's Civil War

Do they think that’s as long as they could need to wait for it to happen at this point?
Because that’s the only explanation I would accept for this deal.

When the history of the 21st century is written, there will be a bright line of division of politicians pre-2025 and politicians post-2025, and right now, every major moderate Democrat is on the wrong side of that line.
Virginia voted in a post-2025 government. I’m so proud.

We have to vote them all out.

We aren’t being given a choice here.

Apparently a pair of gits decided today was the day to release a racist screed demanding the BBC stop hurting their feelings by casting people who aren’t white or actually examining colonialist history.
Happy #Bridgerton Season 4 Premiere Day, I guess.

HAVE YOU HEARD KID SO NOW I HAVE THE TWO BIGGEST PEACE PRIZES IN THE WORLD AND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HAS WRITTEN A SONG ABOUT ME DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS HE'S THE GUY WHO SINGS ABOUT HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE BORN IN THE USA AND BY THE WAY WE HAVE DEPORTED YOUR MUM

If someone had made a film about how an Eastern European sex worker came to America illegally and ends up as First Lady I reckon it’d be a box office hit. But I guess they weren’t ready to go there.

Everything British Streaming on PBS for February 2026 Our monthly rundown of everything British coming to PBS and PBS Passport for February 2026.

It's once again time for our monthly rundown of everything British coming to PBS in February 2026, including a couple of surprise fan-favorites.

And this is why we don't sneer at people for finding meaning in hats.

When they say that the "paid protestors" accusation is "projection" this is the kind of thing they're talking about.

It isn’t if you understand this is Civil War II.

(I am also completely convinced that in 50 years, Biden will be viewed as the 21st Century’s James Buchanan.)

Don’t argue with me. If you are recommending Ezra Klein’s podcast in The Year of Our Lord 2026, you are functioning on a pre-2025 mindset.

When the history of the 21st century is written, there will be a bright line of division of politicians pre-2025 and politicians post-2025, and right now, every major moderate Democrat (including Obama) is on the wrong side of that line.

Note the problem here. Trump does apparently want to minimize clashes between government security services and protesters. But he doesn’t appear to want those heavily armed government militias to stop doing the things that are causing those clashes in the first place. What’s really going on here is this: Trump is looking to defuse anger among congressional Democrats for purposes that don’t portend a meaningful shift. An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package. The problem for the White House, Punchbowl reports, is that if Democrats successfully renegotiate new measures, the House might have to pass a new package—the House already passed funding that included money for DHS—and Republicans doubt that’s possible. So the show of de-escalation is about making it easier for Senate Democrats to support appropriations bills that don’t require another vote in the House.

There really seems to be a lot of kayfabe happening right now. Trump is pretending to de-escalate to placate Dems so they don't demand reform, and Dems are making up fake reforms so they can pretend like they made changes while they vote to fund DHS.

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not.

Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends.

We are angry, feral, and tired.

Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

It hangs together as a narrative more than Holy Grail, which is more “Arthurian sketches presented in a semblance of order.” But yes, it’s a proper Easter movie.

It’s Monty Python Does The Passion. Sample quote:
“He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.”
Do with that as you will.

A-fucking-men
