“Gustavo” is harvesting mangoes in Coachella, CA. “This is very hard work. We start before dawn, but temps are already near 100° while we’re working. It’s physical labor, and it’s hard to do in this kind of heat.” Today’s high in Coachella is forecast to reach 109°. #WeFeedYou

I try not to think about how The Dark Knight is a movie from 18 years ago, but a big conflict Batman and Lucius Fox face in that is whether to use everyone’s smartphones as unwitting surveillance tools. This tech is destroyed, as nobody should have such power. That’s not how 2026 superheroes think.

SERIOUS ANSWER: forget a fifth Jaws movie. Just give us a film adaptation of the play The Shark Is Broken by Joseph Nixon and Robert Shaw's son Ian, a play that looks at the three leads filming Jaws. Or give us a taped performance of the play. Just SOME representation of The Shark Is Broken.
let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

Chuds can and do ride bikes but I think riding bikes in the car-brained US is a moral, pro-social, pro-environment, lefty political act. Accordingly, when bike brands post AI slop they tend to get obliterated, which is very funny.

New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop. Where's your worried op-ed on that one?
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
One of the funniest things I saw in the election was a guy trying to get in the building to vote wearing a red ball cap that said "You're in a Cult". They wouldn't let him stating he was wearing political messaging. He debated, "there's no political msg", they said leave, he said "are you offended?"
