INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE was released 36 years ago today. The third, and for some best, entry in the Indiana Jones series, reading the behind the scenes story will mean you chose wisely… 1/38

In a down-to-the-wire race among the six iconic Wienermobiles that serve as goodwill ambassadors for Oscar Mayer, the hot dog-on-wheels representing the Southeast proved to be the big dog on Carb Day ahead of Sunday’s running of the Indianapolis 500.

"If I have to choose between a Tenth Avenue freeze-out and Trump’s Fifth Avenue hypothetical, I’ve gotta side with the leader of the free world."

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 45 years ago this week. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most anticipated and acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect. 1/39

U.S. Military Bans Men With Girl Names From Participating In Combat

me: they think it should be illegal to have black people in positions of influence savvy, sophisticated pundits: don't be hysterical the trump administration:

This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s worsening relationship with the press, how we should be reacting, how it could impact the U.S. moving forward, and how Will Trent has been renewed but Doctor Odyssey hasn’t. We will not sleep until ABC responds.

Jonathan Cannon: 5 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 0 HR, 60 of 88 pitches for strikes, with 21 called strikes/whiffs. The young man pitched better than his line. But this land is cursed by the sins that secured its purchase, and misery and woe are the only crops that can be harvested from its soil.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was released 10 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great action movies of the century, and the 4th film in George Miller’s dystopian sci fi series, the behind-the-scenes story will make you wonder how everyone made it through in one piece… 1/52

🔥 DENIRO AT CANNES: “In my country we’re fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted… Art looks for truth, embraces diversity — that’s why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.” 🇺🇸

Increasingly, it’s harder to resist the comparison to Nazis.

Pam Bondi’s last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar at $115,000 per month… So, of course, she says the $400 million gold-plated 747 isn’t a bribe or emolument…

Ridley Scott’s GLADIATOR was released 25 years ago this week. A sword and sandals classic, and the film that made a megastar of Russell Crowe, the making of story is worthy of the Colosseum… 1/43

Here’s last night’s story about the recent deportations by the Trump administration, the flimsy pretexts behind them, and what the song “Closing Time” is actually about. Trust us, it’s not what you think: youtu.be/F2hN3JKZ-Go

We will be eliminating funding for Head Start, PBS, childhood vaccines, and student loans. However, we will be offering a one-time $5000 check to new parents. All right, young women: Start making those babies! by J.D. Vance and Elon Musk

Despite rising trade barriers in the US and Europe, Chinese e-bike brands keep winning. Here’s how they game the system. escapecollective.com/industry-ins...

"I sense much fear in six. Fear of seven. Why? Because nine, seven ate."

This video is really funny when the animation gets brutally dark

"The GOP prides itself on being the pro-family party. We help women achieve the American dream: having so many babies that their weary bodies collapse in a shopping center parking lot with ninety-six-count packs of Walmart diapers under each arm."

Vaccines do not contain any fetal tissue or cells, nor do they contain any cells derived from fetal materials.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

The Trump administration's deportation of small children is key to stopping the violent MS-K-through-12 gangs that lead up to MS-13. Also, Tren de WahWah.

I am finding myself unprepared, in a positive way, for the concept of Based Liberal Jumbo Elliott. Everything is on the table now. Bumping into Bart Oates at a DSA committee meeting. Prairie Populist Gary Reasons. All of it.

"In the Time interview, President Trump claimed 'I invented a new kind, actually four new kinds, of jacking off. And that's something that I think, because they never write nice, always nasty, but that's something that I think really people would love to know about.'" "Well there's a lot going on."

"Here is tonight’s Bill of Fare, inscribed on distressed parchment and encased in a leather book fashioned from the boots of retired blacksmiths."

This recipe took the wrong turn at Albuquerque

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

In THIS administration we value WARFIGHTERS who WARFIGHT the enemy and if you’re not WARFIGHTING the enemy to DEATH we don’t want you in the DEPARTMENT OF WARFIGHTING, take your “logistics” and “intelligence” BULLSHIT somewhere else this place is for WARFIGHTING WARFIGHTERS WHO WARFIGHT. GRRR!

Larry David writing a NYT guest essay as a man having dinner with Hitler, just to roast Bill Maher as a smug, self-important clown, is the stuff of comedy legend. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

Can't let Patriots' Day go by without returning to one of our most loved and controversial lists ever.

This from Dr. Oz is a new fucking low. Also, on a side note, are they looking at bringing back the draft?

MAD MAX was released 46 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great low-budget films, and the movie that launched the career of star Mel Gibson, the making of story is a ride through a dystopian wasteland… 1/44

Hey wait, Point Break is on
