Most NEA translation grants for single books are around $12,500. An F/A–18 Super Hornet costs about $65M. These two jets dumped in the ocean would’ve financed 10,400 book translations.

This is your periodic reminder that if you don't like what President Donald Trump is doing to our country then turn off your TV and get up off your ass because democracy is not a spectator sport. Here is my guide to resisting Trump. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

Big week for popes: happy birthday to the Pope of Trash, the great John Waters!

submitted 21 days ago • 0 comments

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

At least we won't have to wonder if the Pope fired a cardinal or made any other big news in his last meetings because it will just come out in the next Signal chat leak.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

I find myself drawn to revisiting The Music Lovers every few years. The film is a bit uneven, but he's definitely one of its highlights. RIP

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

Physical media is more important now than ever. Max just removed their entire Looney Tunes catalog on the weekend that LOONEY TUNES: THE DAY THE WORLD BLEW UP came out. Especially preserving animation in particular.

Major media outlets seem very into the prevalence of threats right now. I care a lot less about Republican senators getting mean emails than I do about immigrants who have been in the US for decades cowering in fear. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/o...

I support and am happy the party came together to stop this. However, this is what they should be doing on EVERYTHING. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it - we are in an existential crisis as a country. We’re either going to emerge as Americans, or as something else.

What’s a movie that is wildly considered bad but you love it proudly? Fun Art Deco and noir-inspired imagery, Ian McKellan, Tim Curry, Peter Boyle, and a hilariously miscast Alec Baldwin, what else do we need from The Shadow?

Accomplished a massive personal goal by hitting a 2000 rapid rating on Chesscom today! It puts me in the top 0.3% of players on the game's biggest website. Not bad for only playing for less than 4 years.
