What's the coolest thing you've seen on the web today? 🤔 We nominate columboxd.com 🆒

Here’s a new project we’ve been cooking for the last few months! So proud to stand with the brilliant, dedicated, passionate workers of Quirk Books. We’re not on Bluesky yet but you can follow us on Insta at @quirkbooksunion

One time I saw a wino eating grapes, I was like dude, you have to *wait*

Our scavenger hunt is live! 🔍 Be in to win a private screening of Wes Anderson’s new film by following the clues to collect seven special The Phoenician Scheme-inspired items hidden around Letterboxd’s app and website. Read about the scavenger hunt and first clue here: boxd.it/arw

A lot of pro-AI people will be like, “This technology constantly makes mistakes and adds unneeded steps to work, but you’ll have no choice but to use it for every facet of your life whether you like it or not” and then furiously wonder why some folks aren’t instantly on board with the pitch.

No kings. Not ever. Saturday, June 14

Someday, I'd like to see a defense of witholding criticism of Democrats on the grounds that Republicans are fascists address the fact that most Democrats do not themselves believe most Republicans are fascists, would like to continue making policy in a bipartisan fashion, and say this regularly.

one thing the Dem establishment doesn’t understand is that Rogan is *downstream* of the right-wing misinformation machine. he doesn’t originate reactionary conspiracies, he absorbs them, and that’s why he turned toward Trump

Indeed. If Dem donors want to create their own Joe Rogan, the answer is to just do what Republican donors did and throw money at all kinds of stuff on your side—especially stuff *farther* left than the donors themselves, like GOP donors did funding right-wing crackpots—and watch your garden grow.

Soggy Bottom Boys for trans rights.

I am just choosing to hear the people saying they let AI do their research for them as an admission that they’ve never done research that prompted them to have one new thought

Corgis have an extremely low center of gravity and the density of a dead star. PERFECT for skateboarding! 😇

One of the great ironies of the Creation Museum is that it's built directly on top of one of the richest beds of 450 million year old fossils in the world. Literally every rock in the ground is majority made of fossil. Bro, just look down.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

pretty indisputable at this point that the Cybertruck is the most high profile vehicle flop of my lifetime, I can’t think of anything remotely comparable total disaster in every way, you love to see it

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

one effect of the cartoonish supervillains running the country that I didn't anticipate: now when I watch anime I am much more sympathetic and forgiving to the writers' decisions about the dialogue and story arcs of actual cartoon villains

✅Clean holding that Trump violated due process ✅Classwide relief for targeted migrants ✅Bristling skepticism that this administration can be trusted to keep its word ✅Frustration that the conservative lower courts failed to intervene Yes, this ruling is a big deal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This just makes me not trust people from Cleveland in general 😂

I must not be the first person to bring this up But there has never been a more vindicated guy

i don’t understand when my fellow thirtysomethings panic about no longer understanding what the kids like and how they dress. the most perfect serenity ever devised by man or heaven is within reach and you’re pushing it away with both hands

Guess what! Turns out if you ignore/laugh off an ongoing campaign to turn the concept of expertise & knowledge into something means "untrustworthy" you can get to a point where everything dive bombs for the worse. Who knew! Except everyone shouting about it for 30 years who were ignored.

Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

The new Superman trailer is here, and it's full of heart, action, and... well, Pa Kent giving the advice we want him to. Watch here: www.thepopverse.com/movies-super...

lowly worm in the trunk of his little apple car begging for his life as the boss of the busytown mob turns the screw on an industrial cider press

SINNERS is now the biggest Hollywood original movie of any kind at the box office since 2017 when Pixar's COCO came out. To find a live-action movie that made at least $200M domestic, we have to go back much further. This is truly bananas. www.slashfilm.com/1857902/sinn...

There are certain music-related opinions on which I shall never waver. Here is one: All Stevie Wonder is good. No bad Stevie Wonder songs or albums exist. The extremes of his discography are “corny, but still good” on one end and “world-changing, life-affirming masterpiece” on the other.

Bush II (2001-2009) was, obviously, a disaster and laid the groundwork needed to get where we are today. But Trump II (2025-?) is a whole different animal. His first month he turned off cancer research and made sure more kids get HIV. His only discernible goals are: 1. Cut taxes 2. Kill people

I miss him so much. It's like I see him everywhere I go
