I missed that Ben Shapiro had something to say about the new Superman and big surprise, it's negative. That's fine, I don't care and I won't even argue against what he said for two reasons. 1. He doesn't know what he's talking about. 2. This is actually about James Gunn not liking Trump.

I think people are way too quick to claim with certainty that Trump didn’t write a given tweet, but I promise you he didn’t write this one.

The Trump administration has canceled a Biden-era agreement requiring the state of Alabama to clean up raw sewage in poor, Black, rural communities where filthy toilet water has been flowing directly into the yards of homes where children play.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

Read an interview Dan Trachtenberg did about Predator: Badlands and he is a really smart filmmaker. He's quite lucid in his thoughts on what to do and not do in a genre film like this and that makes me even more excited to see it. Like half the nonsense people would wine about is already addressed.

The last person to really exploit what Florence Pugh can do, was Ari Aster. Since then she has been misserved by the material she has agreed to do.

Bluesky is very much like old Twitter in that way, populated by irritating bastards whom I would like to slap every now and again, but not so overpopulated by cultish, moronic fools who are a threat to the world. Every other type not mentioned is generally cool. I can handle that.

Someone dared to post this outrageously stupid shit in April of 2025.

My bold proposal: make this website suck ass

Just to be clear, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled this week that people are entitled to due process before being sent to El Salvador. They couched it in weaselly passive language, but it's very clear that they unanimously agreed such actions are "improper." The administration is ignoring that.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Remember this is in spite of BOTH major political parties and major news outlets attempting to manufacture an electorate entirely in support of Israel. It is possible to reach people and change minds.

1. Major ruling: A federal court has ruled, for now, that Trump cannot take away school lunch money from hungry kids over trans students. This is Gov. Janet Mills first victory after telling Trump she would "see you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

They definitely voted for this

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy. I guess if we add some horny Nazis next year maybe CNN will come out and listen to what we have to say?

DOGE is failing on its own terms, which were already misleading. The numbers they toss out don't account for the effects of the cuts. The deep cuts to the IRS alone cost $1.6T over 10 years via reduced revenue. Cuts to research like NSF and NOAA will cost even more. www.cbpp.org/blog/on-tax-....

If you still support this guy and you call yourselves a liberal or a progressive or anything other than a [redacted for a family audience] then you are a [more redactions].

For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.

Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

RIP Nicky Katt - an incredible actor who always elevated everything he was in. DAZED & CONFUSED, THE WAY OF THE GUN, THE LIMEY, BOILER ROOM, INSOMNIA, SIN CITY, PHANTOMS, THE DOOM GENERATION, and so much more. It’s an amazing and accomplished filmography that will live on forever. So it goes.

I am slightly mystified by the upcoming Supergirl movie. I know its based on an apparently well-received comic arc and that's fine, but if I were running a studio I'm not sure I'd take a risk on that character.

Is this shit made with AI? I decided to listen to this WhatCulture video on YouTube and the guy's voice sounds natural, but then weird sporadic innaccuracies pop up in his descriptions. I don't know if this is a real voice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yxI...

damocles, dude, you absolutely cannot put your sword there. come on man

Yes, Elon Musk is essentially carrying out Hans Gruber's exact scheme in Die Hard: He is using the cover of political action to commit robbery. That is precisely it and it is fucking stupid that this is now real.
