Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Hey, @neon-rated.bsky.social . Any plans to do a 4K disc of Cuckoo like you did for Immaculate? I'll say please in an insanely fun German accent. :)

This movie is bonkers. I can't believe they pulled off a movie that is legit 50% Rom-Com AND legit 50% Slasher. I mean, I had faith in the filmmakers, but also was like "How the hell is that going to work?" And it does!

Since the episode of Severance has been out for two weeks, and I haven't seen anyone else talk about it, but at the ORTBO, Irving being walked off into the woods to his fate has to be an homage to Miller's Crossing, right? (Now comes the links to 6 stories I missed talking about it.)

Someone once said that given the choice of living in the Star Trek or Star Wars Universes, people overwhelmingly choose Star Wars because they all think they will be a Jedi, not living in an oppressive fascist regime as a cog in The Empire. This sums up every MAGA voter facing a leopard right now.

A brief break from puppy posting to remind you that Musk, Vance, and Peter Theil (who tapped Vance) all subscribe to a theory known as DARK ENLIGHTENMENT which is based around the idea that democracy is bad and America would be better off with an... checks notes ...absolute monarchy.

The cast for this He-Man movie is going way harder than it has any right to, and I am, quite frankly, loving it!

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

Ohio is always like, "we need to stop the brain drain of people leaving the state!" And then they pass laws that make people who would take jobs with good salaries flee the state.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

In Star Wars, the granting of Palpatine emergency powers was at least done in genuine ignorance of the diabolical Sith lord he really was. Americans (or 77 million of them), have absolutely no such excuse.

I've watched the halftime show three times now and that was 100% not a halftime show - that was pure theater. That was Hamilton by way of This is America. Award categories need to be invented so Lamar and his team can sweep them. That was fucking epic. What a bold piece of performance art.

Whenever these guys get mad they always use descriptors that make the person they're mad at sound awesome by accident

Kendrick triggered Trump so much he had to leave the game and announce tariffs.

The New Kennedy Center Honors would 100% honor Diddy if he was white.

Not so brilliant.
