according to my research of Dateline NBC, the most life-threatening quality a person can exhibit is the ability to light up a room.

reading a true crime book recommended by one of the best writers on this site (not their book) and…I would reject this thing if it were submitted as an assignment by a high school English student. there’s also glowing praise for it from fine authors. feel like I’m OD’ing on crazy pills.

wanted to celebrate “Today [being] August 4, 2026” by reading “There Will Come Soft Rains” but I can’t find my copy of Martian Chronicles so I ordered a newer paperback sight unseen and DANGIT

how can the Blade movie not be happening? they got a hat made seven years ago that said "Blade" and they had him wear it on a stage and people went yay, everyone knows the rest of the film production process handles itself.

Everybody loves this Denzel gif but most people don’t even know it’s from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

oh man somebody get this over to twitter, they’ll eat up this hard evidence of how cheaply you can purchase politicians in liberal hellhole California

Manosphere grifters have figured out that some men are easily manipulated by making them feel insecure about their masculinity. The GOP has turned this sales pitch into both an ideology and a campaign strategy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
