Fox going to commercials with San Diego-based Stone Temple Pilots because any grunge-era band gets to be representative of Seattle? Not cool.
Inject these "Michael Penix Jr thriving" headlines into my veins. Few athletes inspire me to use the word "joy" when talking about what it's like to watch them play. I'm a Seattle guy all the way, so, Go Hawks! But when the Falcons are playing and Penix is on the field, he has my full attention.
Anyone joining the chat about fearful evangelicals protesting Greta Gerwig's radical #Narnia will do themselves a favor by reading what @laurenwilford.bsky.social wrote back when people were similarly incensed over Aronofsky's NOAH. This essay is a major focus of my class on the art of adaptation.

"Paid for by the US Government" just means paid for at the expense of American taxpayers. Trump is setting your tax dollars on fire for ILLEGAL political propaganda.

Dear Jim Henson, on your 90th birthday... The third chapter of my new book is an open letter to you about how you changed my life — first with SESAME STREET, then with THE MUPPET SHOW, then with THE MUPPET MOVIE, on through THE DARK CRYSTAL, and so much more.

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · last wk.Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...
This revelation of a "twist" is basically a spoiler. I mean, OF COURSE Cruise will tear off his old-man mask and we'll learn he's actually Ethan Hunt on a mission to stop climate change.
Joanna Langfield@joannalangfield.bsky.social · last wk.Digger is furious comedy, Dr. Strangelove-like, but with a twist that makes it both more palatable and confusing. Riz Ahmed is dandy, but you can’t take your eyes off Cruise, ferociously committed to this ambitious but uneven satire.

Trump’s U.N. speech opened to dead silence no applause for “America is back.” Then he threatened Iran. Iran’s delegation walked out. He attacked Cuba. Cuba walked too. Diplomacy by threat doesn’t command respect. The world is watching America lose it. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue
