It’s fantastic. One of the best performances of Treat Williams’s career

isn’t it great? what a mensch.

Good news bad news I brought rod serling back to life in 2025 but he made it through about eighty seconds of news before he ate a flour sized bag of heroin

It’s honestly not anything I know about, just curious to hear your take.

Oh that’s interesting. Does it look significantly different from the original?

Character sheets for the “king of the hill” character Bobby hill, showing him as an adolescent (in the original run) and in his 20s (in the revival)

Here’s me on the King of the Hill revival (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/a...

end card of the French connection that reads, “Alain charnier was never caught”

I like to go by the end cards of the original (even if II is pretty decent)

The “see also” sub-entry for “The French Connection”: Crime film List of American films of 1971 Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, a fried chicken restaurant chain that was founded in 1972 and had its name inspired by the Popeye Doyle character in the film Federal Bureau of Narcotics

LIBERALS LOSE THEIR MINDS when they tell you to see the great clown Pagliacci and it will cheer them right up and you say but I am Pagliacci. It’s why more and more people are turning to the Republican Party

You wake up in your nest. It was all a dream; you have no idea what a “shitpost” is. As the concept of a “banger” fades from your mind, you look at your brood mate. It's 150,000 BC; you're a Silurian Lizard Person. It's time to build the pyramids.

I am kinda fascinated by the emerging joint deployment of “Mamdani would take away the NYPD’s ability to effectively deal with shootings like the one that happened on Monday” and “It’s impossible to prevent shootings like the one that happened on Monday”, sometimes on the same page of the newspaper.
