How have Trump and Hegseth burned through nearly our entire missile arsenal such that it's almost empty, in a 100 day "war" with Iran that barely makes the evening news, but Putin can launch ballistic missiles every night at Ukrainian cities for years on end?
I am so happy to have never been able to look at that guy's face for 2 minutes in a row
Just watched a video with Jason Sudeikis saying that it's OK to tip 10% at a diner if the service isn't good and you should leave a note and explain why you tipped poorly. I hope that guy gets the explosive diarrhea worse than anyone else ever has
My hottest comic take is I hate that Claremont made Magneto, the sinister leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants,a jewish death camp survivor & the most forwardly jewish character in the Marvel Universe. Meanwhile Ben Grimm, who had clearly been jewish coded forever, only was stunt-jew'd in 2002
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Shots fired. In a way, @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social 's translation was the Trojan Horse that Nolan took in to his project, and she is leaping from it, now inside the gates (after selling a million copies) and slaughtering.
I wrote about the Trojan horse, and what we can learn from her mouth about different cultural attitudes towards deception and violence. As someone comments below, the phrase GIFT ARTICLE is pretty scary in this context.
Is Bluesky in the middle of breaking? All my feeds besides "following" are not loading. This is a test to see if posts are a'posting.
holy shit the comments here are peak "forget about it, Jake. It's Blueskytown."
Francesca Hong was asked last night by Kaitlin Collins if she still believes Thanksgiving should be canceled. Her answer was not 'no.'

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
We blew through all the long-range weapons we'd use to, say, protect Taiwan from invasion, in order to fight a war that did nothing but make Iran vastly more influential? I feel like I'm going crazy when I even describe it. How is DC not melting down over this world-historical strategic catastrophe
I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️
The FULL Starsky & Hutch episode where they fight a Satanic cult. It's so bad that it's *kinda* wonderful. (As a kid, I loved that Starsky was the single most unapologetically, in your face, tough Jewish character on TV, but that wasn't ever the main focus of his character, or mentioned.)

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Not even trying to hide the corruption any more.
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

There have been SO many times, since the coming of Trump, that I have had the terrible thought, "Thank god my father died before he had to see this." I hate them so much for having that be a thought in my head.

I’ve known @jeremymoss.bsky.social for 20 years. He’s one of the finest, most dedicated public servants Michigan has ever had. This is a disgustingly, blatantly antisemitic attack by one of his primary opponents.
oh no!! I have been watching the TALKING SOPRANOS podcast on HBO MAX, filmed during the pandemic, and just saw his interview on there, a few days ago. He seemed like a real character, and a doting grandfather. 💔
Much like the Red Wedding on GoT, the Salvatore Bonpensiero arc on THE SOPRANOS was essential in showing the audience that no matter how much affection you had for a character, this universe had unbreakable rules. And it doesn't work if Vincent Pastore doesn't make a thug like B.P. lovable. RIP.
