Stupid Rebels will they won’t they finally gets a good kiss and then ONE OF THEM DIES? What the fuck, man.

republicans: fyi we are bombing france for being too gay and lead poisoning is now mandatory democrats: yeah? well prepare yourselves for several strongly worded haikus

very sad to hear about the passing of George Lowe I am sure I am not alone in saying Space Ghost Coast to Coast was probably along with MST3K the most formative television shows to my sense of humor growing up a truly weird and wonderful experience that opened me to so much all anchored by his voice

I am looking at a chamber filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, and if you asked me to seriously estimate what percentage of them understand how deep in the s*** we are right now, I mean really truly understand how close America is to full collapse, I would put the number at between 10 and 20

Was really worried the Dems weren’t gonna have mediocre protest signs. Democracy is saved.

Fucking Thomas Massie once again earning my respect for at least being true to his principles.

SS United States under tow. Oh that looks freaky.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

lmao, jesus

I keep forgetting to post about it, but I love this new TV show PARADISE on Hulu. I’m a sucker for a good pulpy genre show that takes its characters and concept seriously while not taking itself too seriously.

I need more people to watch Paradise so we can talk about it. And its weird ethereal 80s covers.

how can our country turn against the agency that inspired twister :(

The former bartender in me just instinctively slapped the tabletop and said, "OK, let's have the car keys"

Honest question: Why are people obeying DOGE?

The way this stupid love triangle intersects with my life.

Hardcore bummed by the way Mulder and Scully do their jobs really well and routinely investigate the government and its entities. What a concept.

"Operation Whirlwind" sounds like some kind of Soviet military action designed to crush a Warsaw Pact state trying to get its freedom. Because that's exactly what it was:

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Stop. Acting. Like. Everything. Is. Normal. If you seriously think all we need to do is win the VA governor’s race, you’re not paying any attention and are completely blinded by a naive faith in institutions that are actively failing or—even worse—enabling an authoritarian takeover of this country.

remember friday? that was ten years ago

Rewatching the x-files. Holy shit Mulder is so slutty.

Luka in a Lakers uni is fucking cursed.

This seems important

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?

I know everyone is like "Luka is going to improve his conditioning and make the Mavs look dumb for trading him," but what I want is for his conditioning to get even worse and yet the Mavs still look dumb for trading him

There’s no need for a new law and you’re never going to get it passed in the minority anyway. Just demand that the authorities apply the current laws to stop the actions that are already illegal

Deeply appreciate the congressman doing this, but at some point we’re going to need our elected officials to refuse to take no for an answer. Make them arrest you if need be. Force the issue.

Watching Return of the Jedi again and I really do think it’s underplayed that the Ewoks eat human flesh.

"This trade actually makes the Mavericks better." Brother, they were 3 wins short of a title last season.

Good news though Titanic is on tv,

The Ocean’s trilogy understands something very important about ensemble chemistry in sequels: you don’t have to contrive pointless conflicts for these characters to keep it fresh, you can just let them be silly little guys together.

Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.

The second worst thing to ever happen in Dallas happened today. And it's a tossup which one Kyrie Irving has the weirder theory about
