I love Colorado's flag. It gives off serious vintage Marvelman vibes.
Can’t wait to share this new memoir, but willing to hold on till Fall 2027.
Daybreakers with Ethan Hawke and Sam Neill was criminally underrated and, after 17 years, I will be filing charges.
When I was a boy, we had proper TV seasons—22 episodes! At least! None of this waiting three years for the next one. BAM—every fall, a new season in the lineup! Cover of TV Guide and everything!
There are many mysteries in the universe, I just want the answer to one: how the hell does Eric Powell manage to create illustrations at this level of detail and still put out like 5 graphic novels a year???
Sweet lord--after this, they're gonna need an even bigger memory hole than the one they shoved the Bush administration in.

Let me talk you something, I—and I can’t stress this enough—want my mommy.
I need everyone to go see it so I can say how much I loved the ending without spoiling.
Did not expect the Resident Evil franchise to be rebooted as an indie-style horror/comedy that sticks closely to the actual video game and yet manages to be something wholly original.

The dumbest asshole in the country and the President need to be two different people moving forward
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

A Philly family bought their first home thanks to reparations from Quakers in Germantown
Green Street Friends Meeting, a Quaker congregation in Germantown, pledged to spend $50,000 a year for 10 years as part of its reparations work. It’s helping Black Philadelphians become homeowners.

This premieres in one week. One week. Give yourself a Halloween treat, one with a great cast of characters based on the iconic vision of one @victorlavalle.bsky.social. And… ultimately… something a note of tentative hope in these tough times.

I'm a fan of The Wailing, so went to see the opening matinee for Hope just now. Wow. Epic. Tense, funny, and original for 2 hours and 36 minutes. Avoid spoilers.

Just when you think Fetterman couldn't suck more, the guy goes from Hoover to Dyson on your ass.
Fetterman text to aide: “Why do I have to keep having to meet with [Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia]?” Aide: “Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.” Fetterman: “Well I’m not.” @wsj.com #PAsen www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
I show up to movie theaters early just to crush on Maria Menounos.
