Andor is an Emmy-nominated masterpiece that easily ranks among the best of prestige TV, so I will never understand Disney+ dumping episodes this season like its a goddamn Spider-Man cartoon. More importantly, you guys wanted golden shower talk with your Star Wars, right? Please say right.

Jesus Christ, Vulture, Thunderbolts hasn't even been out a few hours and you're already dropping spoilers in headlines. Goddamn.

What regulatory standards? They're all being rescinded by Donald and DOGE.

we have ceded entirely too much power to the dorks

Just learning about this, but kerning is actually very important.

We should have had a whole week to marinate in Saw Gerrera getting his Charlie Kelly on and baptizing revolutionaries. This episode would’ve killed on its own. Killed. (Outstanding writing by @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social btw.)

We’re only two weeks into Andor and the season is already half over. Season 1 felt like a sprawling epic, which it absolutely was. Now it feels like we’re speedrunning to Rogue One.

Dear Molly, don’t post unsourced, anti-Democratic rage bait from Axios.

One of my major concerns with the new Andor release schedule is that it would be too much at once. The episodes would be too dense to take in one shot. That wasn’t the case last week. It was absolutely the case this week. Still love the show, but this arc deserved a weekly release to breathe.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Live look at Natasha Lyonne announcing her Gen AI movie a week before the new season of her show premieres:

The idea that Democrats in Congress are uniquely, routinely, and materially insider trading and that this is an important issue is a bullshit horseshoe theory thing but instead of the far left and the far right it’s the far left and goldfish-brained swing voters.

It's darkly funny how "this actor is Israeli/this piece does not negatively depict Israel" is considered a perfectly fine reason to boycott something but "This actor is Russian, they've done photo ops for the Russian state" immediately causes people to tell you that Russophobia is very serious

This story is straight up porn for divorce attorneys. I guarantee at least one read about the Punisher of Words here and audibly moaned in public.

This actually went up on Friday, but to the shock and surprise of everyone who knows me, my soft blogger skin was actually outdoors this weekend. True story, I saw a snake near a waterfall. Nature is trying to kill us. Anyway, yes, I’m doing “Andor” Season 2 recaps for Pajiba. Enjoy!

The show’s changes to the game are starting to pile up, but I think we all could use the breather this episode provides

We wanted to know if Pete Hegseth still has the support of the Pentagon's rank and file. So we talked to three dishonorably discharged Marines who were court martialed for shooting at Afghan civillians.

Think of how soft you’d have to be to make one of your administration’s priorities searching immigrants’ phones to make sure they didn’t say anything mean about you.

Movies you’ve watched more than six times (“Hard Mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

If someone told me at any point before Andor Season 1 that freaking Mon Mothma would be the most captivating character in a live action Star Wars series, I would have laughed in their face. And yet here’s Genevieve O’Reilly killing it again. Seriously, just give her the Emmy now.

“I’m here at the President’s request to rebuild the United States military into a lethal fighting force powered by nothing but pure strength and an absolute warrior culture that will crush America’s enemies beneath our might.”

Just doing the Lord’s work. The Lord’s big green dick work I will never get that image out of mind

Shrek porn. What? We’re all thinking it

The Trump presidency is actually what a lot of too online people convinced themselves the Biden presidency was, in terms of the president not having any fucking clue what’s happening or where he is.

Love the quote tweets writing shit like "Get fucked party stooges" while ignoring key facts like: 1. Schakowsky is pro-Palestine. 2. She votes for trans rights. 3. She was on retirement watch months before Kat launched her grift as this clickbait POS even notes. But yeah suck it, establishment!

If the Lamborghini dealership is offering one free oil change, we are going to see a Lamborghini boom unlike anything America has ever seen.

Pete Hegseth just stopped by my town this morning. While that's disturbing by itself, I watched a leftist in the wild comment on the community FB page that "the genocidal Israeli lobby" is pushing Trump to get rid of Hegseth because he won't start a war with Iran. Thanks, Ken Klippenstein!

You ever hear something said that isn’t inherently racist but will make you look at someone different? Anyway, someone I know just referred to Sinners as “that Hailee Steinfeld movie.”
