Mr. Howard

Hamnet will return in…
Turkeynet.

Really funny to see our ruling class's calls for Unity and American Pride completely falling flat. For a week they've held these guys up as paragons of virtue but everyone I've talked to sees them as pawns, stooges and simpletons. This isn't the 80's, we aren't chanting "USA USA" for a Nazi regime.

Congratulations on driving a woman to self-immolation! Proud of you!

I think we’ve got to go back to the 80s, when you plant enough seeds in the underground (Lynch/Cronenberg/Demme/college radio/etc) that resources are then devoted to enough stuff to make “The 90’s” happen on a pervasive, mainstream level.

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

I'm sorry *Bobby Slayton*?? First I'm hearing of this, and now I see he tried to recruit Gilbert Gottfried??

Voters see Dems as weak and ineffective and Republicans as cruel and extreme. No lies detected.

The Faillison paid $150 million for Bari Weiss to tank CBS' ratings and is about to pay $111 billion for Warner, which by all indications is overpaying by about 80%. What a phenomenal businessman.

There's sort of a meta-issue here. People on the left think of culture as "high" culture — prestige films, books, etc. But culture is also... what people talk about every day. And this is why the right owns the framing on everything, and the framing is bullshit.

You're Hellbilly Standard, I'm Hellbilly Deluxe.

Trying to think of a better measure of a dead society than 61% of the governed thinking its leader "committed crimes" with the most famous pedophile of all time but just going about their day.

It's just regrettable that nobody rocks even 1/1000th this hard anymore, especially when it goes nuclear grade at 3:53.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

If I were society I would simply decide that art and truth had value beyond how much money can be made from them

Zaslav is the ultimate 21st century media CEO: a trash merchant who alchemically spun his shit into billions for himself alone with absolutely zero regard for his product, his employees, or the legacy of his holdings. The collateral damage to American culture? Incalculable.

Please remember to support independent journalism so there'll be real media out there not owned by the Ellison empire or by Bezos. It's no panacea, but it's vital. We've built @boltsmag.org as a place to cover the bricks of local power without that corporate oversight.

All the stuff you were worried about happening is happening. Only question left is when it happens to you.

Maine Dems might be even shittier than Florida Dems.

They called everyone snowflakes and now they are afraid of snowballs. They really think this is gonna work.

This happens to me constantly: "No no no I am not evil, I am a watchdog of the evil, please don't misunderstand." On the train when I think someone's looking at my screen as I look at MAGA shit I shake my head cartoonishly like, "Can you believe this shit??"

I just love all the trans people in my life and want them to be safe and happy!!!!!

You just know that Kim Jong Un's sister – arguably the most Bond villain-esque person on Earth – is looking at this poor lil tween that stands between her and total power over a nuclear empire like...

”Why aren’t people having kids? We’ll have to replace them with machines.“

Day 4 of snowball-gate. This is the top story in the biggest city in America, 20 million+ in our metro area. $6 billion police budget, felled by snowballs.

What if Katt Williams is Wanda Sykes’ Tony Clifton?

In a first, I am a fan of every potential Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Hoping that Questlove has now completely flushed the org of Jann Wenner stench.

Soooo many deep cuts on Midnite Vultures waiting for rediscovery.
