Comparing Dr. Strangelove and Oppenheimer because they both have nuclear bombs in them is so funny.
Interstellar over 2001 is actually the most aggressively demented take on the list.
Listen, strokes/folks etc, but "Batman Begins > Barry Lyndon" should trigger a wellness check
Anyone know why there would be three what appear to be CV-22 Ospreys flying in a circle over Los Feliz and Echo Park?
15 years ago today Miles Morales debuted in Ultimate Fallout 4 it completely changed my life. Getting to write for Miles was one of the highlights of my life & career & I’ll be forever be thankful for getting to leave my mark. Anyone can wear the mask yall & don’t you ever forget it!
Tired: everything went off the rails after Trump was elected Wired: everything went off the rails when the cubs won the World Series Wired: everything went off the rails after game of thrones Inspired: everything went off the rails when history channel stopped making WWII documentaries
Remember when the history channel was peak?

James Carville Tells Fox News He’s Out of the Democratic Party if Hasan Piker Stays: ‘One of Us is Going to Leave’
This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.
Another example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
Emily Wilson’s 4,000+ word anti-Odyssey harangue in the London Review of Books is so mean that I know she wrote that thing for free.
It should be said that Silver’s reputation making move to oust Sterling only worked bc Shelly Sterling had control of the team.
Meanwhile—is there a better example of the players being vastly underpaid than Silver saying he couldn’t plan the season until LeBron announced where he was playing
also silver is running the NBA like infantino jr.
if this is going to be the line then fuck these guys
Infantino running FIFA like a man with significant gambling debts to overweight men in tracksuits
One of the central ideas of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is "What if Spider-Man was as beloved as Jalen Brunson?"
Two things about the new @netw3rk.bsky.social Wait A Second episode: 1. Sick John Prine hat 2. The idea that lots of mythical creatures and myths in general arise from the fact that NO ONE COULD SEE SHIT for most of human history has been my pet theory forever youtu.be/NYnrgzo4St0?...

if there’s any clear indication of elite impunity it’s the fact that the mainstream press has moved Ross Douthat toward increasingly visual formats
Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.
Agreed, and Slow Horses vs The Agency might be the World Cup Final of grating blues dirges in tv history.
You’re right, the Agency does have a grating title song.
large swatches of the globe on fire as society invests in technology that rapidly drains the water feels like a crazy SIMCITY scenario but here we are
Le Bureau de Legendes streaming now on Paramount. Only watch it if you don't care if Agency stuff (likely) gets spoiled.
If you're gonna go all connoisseur on it with us at least do it while speaking of The Bureau Jason.
Everything people think Slow Horses is, The Agency actually is.
After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

If hypothetical President Harris’s DOD was covering up KIA’s in a war of choice with Iran in its 6th month, we’d see slurs being hurled not seen since reconstruction, instead its:
FFS 🤦♂️ The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...
