I have sent a copy of ‘The Onion’ to every member of Congress. To spread its message to less powerful people, I have also taken out an ad in a lesser newspaper. Read my full letter here: theonion.com/why-im-sendi...

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

A Persian phrase used when nothing makes sense any more is sag mizane, gorbe miraghse. It means “the dog is playing an instrument and the cat is dancing.”

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

I was just trying to enjoy a BBQ with loved ones today and I see the former host of Celebrity Apprentice has dragged us into a war.

- war without congressional approval - masked thugs abducting and deporting people without due process - concentration camps on foreign soil - US military deployed against protesters - tariffs costing families thousands - gutting healthcare for millions … we’re only 152 days in

Celebrating 50 years of #Jaws on NBC tonight. Me and my boo got to watch it at the #TCMFF back in April. Got to see Ben Mankiewicz interview Lorraine Gary! 🦈 @tcmtv.bsky.social #TCM

You know it’s a legit gangster movie when the guy with the intensely featured face shows up. #TheSting #TCMParty #CharlesDierkop

I know Newman’s Mr. pretty boy and all, but Bob Redford is my strawberry blonde cup of tea. I call him Bob cause in my fantasy world we’re cool like that. #TheSting #TCMParty #RobertRedford #PaulNewman

Barret Hansen — better known as Dr. Demento — is retiring after 55 years in radio. The 84-year-old broadcaster has introduced audiences to "comedy songs, parodies, and musical oddities" since 1970. And episodes from his entire run are archived on his website. sopghreporter.com/2025/06/01/d...

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

“I got a mass appeal, a little girl smile …” #SheilaE #TCMParty #KrushGroove

“A Love Bizarre” is such a good song. Sheila E. + Prince = 🔥🔥🔥 #TCMParty #KrushGroove

I’m so ready! Needed this. @tcmtv.bsky.social #KrushGroove #TCMParty #MichaelSchultz

A reminder to us all from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

I hate being nostalgic for years that, at the time, I thought were bad.

OMG @tcmtv.bsky.social is showing #KrushGroove as part of their #Juneteenth lineup today! Michael Schultz directed so many 70s-80s cinematic bangers. Love seeing them on the channel and at the film festival. (I’ve always been obsessed with 80s hip hop/bboy movies.) #TCMParty

May the gods grant at least one good thing this year.

damn dude

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

Tomorrow on @tcmtv.bsky.social: ALL DAY - Celebrating Juneteenth #TCMParty ^JW

Even the *good* news now is like “judge temporarily blocks administration from performing fingernail torture on people who recycle.”

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

With every headline it becomes more clear: Dark times are getting darker. Wherever you can, lean into the good things. Focus on the helpers and helping. Do what you can. Do away with what you can't. Take breaks. Hydrate. Sleep. Revel in joy. Seek out light and torchbearers. Fight. Repeat.

oh shit

We are living in the upside down. WTF

“If we binge ‘Stranger Things’ instead of reading Stephen King, or listen to self-help podcasts instead of buying self-help books, is that the end of civilization?” In a new column, Joshua Rothman considers the future of reading.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵
