Listening to Do They Know it’s Christmas, and man, wildly out of pocket there by Bobby Geldof.

L.A. folks, don't miss this free early screening of Miguel Gomes' dazzling GRAND TOUR, Best Director winner at Cannes '24 and one of the great new releases of '25.

Pizza guys jacket in home alone is so incredibly sick

That Watt Family commercial for Dick’s is like a mishmash of four John Hughes movies. Commercials are always artistically bankrupt, but that is a “Airline filing for Chapter 11”-level of bankrupt.

Kanopy is great, and it’s also the only place I found (at the time) Scorsese’s entire history of American Cinema doc.

We all grew up and raised hell on twitter, Blue is like our retirement home. Dont be over here with all that noise. Sit ya ass down and act like you got some sense.

I mean sure, BBT could be an old Jamiroqui or Jack Sparrow fentanyl dealer, but I’m getting more white Ice-T from this angle.

Can the winner take on Gregg Abbott in the crowd after?

He’s almost 60, I give him credit for just getting off his chair.

I’d rather watch this…

Why is Shaq dressed like Incompetent Robber #3 in a Wes Anderson movie?

if you see Tyson's cake, then your Paul be Jake if you see ring but no Rogan, that Paul be Logan

Is this like a Zoom call where if Netflix turns off the audio the video should come through clear, and vice versa?

Why this lady dressed like 2003-era 50 Cent?

Of all the lies we got fed in the 90s, which was worse—that recycling did anything or that society would be one big Benetton ad in the future?

Jerry Jones interviews the Sun’s emissary on earth about not being so bright on Sundays.

apparently there is a really good thread somewhere on bluesky breaking down the johnny somali saga in Korea so I'll be brief: a super annoying American shock streamer desecrated a comfort women memorial and Koreans are now crowdfunding bail (+ rewards????) for anyone who punches him out in public

Who are 5 artists you have in heavy rotation right now? 1. Dylan 2. Dylan 3. Dylan 4. Dylan 5. Dylan

Why wouldn't Netflix put the Tyson fight on top of the homepage instead of (/checks notes) The Lincoln Lawyer?

It’s like people don’t watch “…And the Band Played On” anymore. It’s on MAX, people!

If RFK Jr. bans Diet Cokes, my MIL (who definitely did not vote for him) will take the sweeper to all the boring ol' biddies at her club (who did).

It'll take two years, but I'll be doing puppet shows for my wife after a dinner consisting of veggies I had to grow out of a garden because of a lack of regulations just to feel like I'm not contributing to these shitheels. Or I could just 🏴‍☠️. I'll just 🏴‍☠️.

I think the true test of the site's juice will be tonight with the fight. If the skyline (I guess...?) is full of policy wonks instead of commentary about nihilist Tyson curb stomping Paul, we're not there yet.
