For comparison, 14% of Americans believe you can communicate with the dead. (link in next post)

Brad Lander via @jfrejnyc.bsky.social on Insta: “I am proud as a Jewish New Yorker to be on that slate alongside a Muslim New Yorker. Jewish New Yorkers and Muslim New Yorkers are not going to be divided against each other. Our safety, our freedoms, our thriving are bound up together.”

Me: Haliburton went down, but Indy is still keeping game seven tight somehow Wife, loving, but not a sports fan at all: [blank expression] Me: Really good sports tonight Wife: Oh good!

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

America rushing into an ill-advised Middle Eastern war without a coherent justification or plan feels like an auspicious sign for the team with Haliburton.

Couldn't attend my cousin's wedding because of my cold, so I watched the livestream, which meant I could shout "I believe in you!" before he stepped on the glass. Unlike me, he broke it in one try.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

This from Timothy Snyder says it all:

C&B has been dying a slow death for months, and it seems that no one cares. Support articles like the one below; soon they won't be anywhere on the internet. For the last time, we are asking you to help us survive; please share this link with all your friends: cinephiliabeyond.org/donate2024/

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

at least 60% of all this is bc trump and his failson mafia think war is cool and the american military is their toybox, it's not complicated

Blue jays can mimic the calls of predators like red-tailed hawks, one of the reasons being to scare other birds into dropping food

Remembering the great Billy Wilder on his birthday. Le Monde titled its front-page obituary for Wilder, who died at 95 in 2002, “Billy Wilder dies. Nobody’s perfect.”

If you can understand it’s not antisemitism that would drive people to hate Harvey Weinstein, then you’re capable of understanding it’s not antisemitism that drives people to hate Netanyahu. Now don’t let bogus antisemitism talking points let you rank Cuomo, who aided both Weinstein and Netanyahu.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

🚨🚨🚨NEW AD🚨🚨🚨

The last time the US used “instincts” as a basis for war:

at least toby keith is dead this time

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

It’s so weird and horrible to watch this country make all the same mistakes it made when I was young, but somehow dumber this time

Our current Director of National Intelligence:

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

So we’re fully back to this huh

The thing about Trump and Netanyahu is they both represent the id of the worst, most powerful people in this country.

Not the biggest issue right now, but Dutch continues to not be a serious language

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

It’s tough because I largely agree with people saying we should have a better balance on here between politics and other things but then the President declares war or a bunch of people get kidnapped and it feels a little silly to finish typing out “what’s your favorite Futurama episode”

It's always a cool time to have a drunken TV personality as secretary of defense, but now is an *extra* cool time to have a drunken TV personality as secretary of defense.

Never forget.

They look like Duckman (complimentary)

It’s my birthday and I’m at home sick. One cool thing you could do is watch my last short, which I made publicly viewable yesterday youtu.be/h05s5pLqIjU?...

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

*John Carpenter sighs, turns on synth*

Nobody in power has ever been farther from the room-where-it-happens than JD Vance.

Confirming this is INCREDIBLY fun

when we scream and shout about doing things, this is what we mean. got popped and still went back again? hell yeah brother
