Sure fuckin' hope not.
Better than mainlining Pokémon ROM Hacks and fan games like a (poké)maniac. (That's me. I've been doing that.)
Yeah. And I like parts of the MCU! I'm optimistic about Gunn's tenure! But as you say, the DCAU is just lightning in a bottle.
If this were written by A.I., I'd have to hand it to them.
The MCU on its best days with all of its money and star power could never approach the effortless ingenuity of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. Frankly, I don't think Gunn's DCU will, either. The Timmverse was a magic thing.
It's been this way since before the election, too. Getting compared to a drunk uncle, falling asleep in court, yammering about immigrants eating dogs, sundowning in the middle of a rally, rambling incoherently at events. Now he has the most stressful job in the world again. Of course he's declining.
The top grossing movie in the 20 year history of the IFC Film Center in New York probably won't surprise you. But the longest running movie will. www.rogerebert.com/mzs/moviehou...
The fuck are you talking about? You're the one with access, Chuck.
Can't unravel if it never existed in the first place.
You really don't need a reason to be mad at Schumer. Or at least not a new one.
Only 40+ of whoever is polled.
If thinking it's pathetic to be a powerful politician (such as the mayor of SF) dating someone half your age makes me a commie, then greetings comrade.
I'm sorry, Senator Baldwin, but I'm getting something from the control room. This is breaking news that you're hearing here first: we're learning that water is, in fact, wet.
I actually do struggle with reading, but I'm glad that's hilarious to you. The gulf between "probably" and "never" is infinity. That's why I used the former. If pedantry is all you have, there's nothing more to say.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
This week, I watched Psycho Beach Party (B-movie/exploitation pastiche) and Peppermint Candy (depressing/non-English Language art movie). Both are five out of five masterpieces because both, in my estimation, excel at their respective aspirations. Snobs and slobs can be one!!
THEN WHY WAS HE PLATFORMING TRUMP SYCOPHANTS JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO??? WHY IS HE MAKING A GDDDAMNED MEME COIN??? Newsom is as washed as he ever was.
Blaming RFK Jr.'s firing on Dems would be a somewhat undeserved and massive win for Dems. Probably why the GOP wouldn't go for it.
I don't say this as someone anti-Swift (I like her fine!), but this is a massive waste of time. "Not everything has to be about the erosion of our social order." Well, for you, it does. If you want to be a reputable journalistic outlet, that's what readers want, not tabloid bullshit.
That's such a weird leap to make. Just because I'm not mentioning the GOP doesn't mean they're not a factor or that I think that they're not. God, what a dumb fight to pick.
Except I never said it would never work? And I did say that I wanted it to work? I'm not a doomer by any stretch. I have my fair share of skepticism of the Democratic Party, mostly at the national level, but I'm hardly rooting for them to fail.
this site is bad! it's going to fail! its user base has plateaued! it's not making any money! nobody here is smart except for me! everybody here is stupid! nobody is having any good discussions! i don't like being here! ok that's it for now. be back in 90 minutes
It's about him making his best and most emotionally raw album. It's probably a 3/5 at worst.
You're making a lot of assumptions on very little.
Well, the Mamdani thing is weird because Jeffries represents part of NYC and has just generally been evasive and somewhat hostile about Mamdani. But yes. There is a barrier between them, although I imagine national Dems have a stake in it that they may want to oversee.
For sure! I just hope they don't fall for whatever party line Schumer and Jeffries are peddling and drowning on.
You're telling me that Roy Cooper wasn't a roaring success for them???
Banger incoming!!
Undisputed is so, so good. Gotta check out the other two, though.
It's insane because Torres does not need to be this defensive. As much of a goof as Friedland can be, he is asking questions in good faith. By the end, Torres is just a snide asshole.
“What does that have to do with taking money from Blackstone?” The Israel part of @adamfriedlandshow.bsky.social’s interview with @ritchietorres.bsky.social is getting attn, but this part was also great. Hey media— what Adam is doing is called FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS. They are still currently legal!
The good news is that we'll be rid of Joni "Pig Testacles" Ernst. The bad news is that Dems will probably fuck it up. I'm praying that Iowa Democrats prove me dead wrong on the latter point.
At the risk of deifying a politician. The virgin Newsom vs. the chad Pritzker.
Adult fiction does get read. Sadly, it's mostly pornography.
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
Rich from the guy who built his platform on throwing his home and family under the bus. But hypocrisy is their bread and butter.
I mean, the more popular a site gets, the more you're going to get people who are dumb. But I dunno, man. Sometimes you ask questions that aren't very thoughtful (which is not the same as asking questions that are simple) and people respond accordingly.
The bank bailout is his greatest domestic failure, or at least his most consequential. I think a lot of the Democrat base just looked the other way at the drone bombing. But because he's such a force of personality, it's easy for the average Obama voter to forget that.
Breathtaking how juiceless Gavin Newsom is and how the one thing he's better at than trolling Donald Trump is halting his own momentum with the dumbest ideas possible.
Good. Salt Lake was already gerrymandered to shit. But because they got Dem reps a couple of times, they had to quarter it to guarantee GOP supremacy. The Salt Lake Valley should be its own district.
Even if you want to argue Obama only served less than four years, he was a state senator for a couple terms, a community organizer, and a law professor. He wasn't his own brand ambassador.
This week on the podcast, Alicia Gaines of @ganserband.bsky.social and Matrix director @lillywachowski.bsky.social talk: ➡️original music versus well-known pop songs in movies ➡️their shared experience at Chicago’s School of the Art Institute, aka. @saic-edu.bsky.social ➡️finding yourself through art
I don't know how someone like Jamelle does it. And does so without breaking a sweat.
Rare Brandon Johnson W.
little known fact: In 2020, Republicans lost the White House and the Senate.
Snort laughed at work
Very, *very* smart piece from @espiers.bsky.social about why media efforts by Dem consultants are so often comical failures. Highly recommended:
Is there a scarier performance than Ray Wise in this movie? Other than Ray Wise in God's Not Dead: In God We Trust.
Damn. I didn't know there were so many avenues to make a shit ton of money from trolling.
Agree on all points except the first (as others have mentioned). If anything, we're seeing greater acquiescence to Trump than ever before.
Hard to think of a more ruinous interview of unforced errors than Ritchie Torres on The Adam Friedland Show. Every talking point taken as and in bad faith. Just embarrassing shit.
we're heading into fall, so: I am a professional writer with hundreds of credits to my name, mostly reviews of TV shows but also books, movies, and video games. My work has appeared in the AV Club, GQ, IGN, and a bunch of other places, and I'm always looking for freelance work. Thanks.
Oh shit! Vox is good again!
Easily the hottest Dylan O'Brien has ever been.
I would accept this, even though neither is my winner, even among the nominees.
Not that you aren't brilliant, but if PSA acts in good faith, it wouldn't be that hard to find someone to rebut anything MattY has to say on... well, any issue, but trans rights in particular.
Oh, FUCK OFF. (Not you; PSA)
Mamdani shouldn't be chasing it. Jeffries is increasingly radioactive.
Love this. Would it be too much to ask for a source?
They had Democratic U.S. house members twice, in an already gerrymandered district, and said "NEVER AGAIN." So threatened they were by Ben McAdams (my old grandboss), something I cannot imagine.

Hart-Celler a common domestic W for Johnson, and even a little foreign policy w.
Even in the first Trump presidency when the Democrats were against the wall, they at least paid lip service as an opposition party. Now, they can't be bothered and the GOP is happy to let Trump's agenda coast.
Probably not, but we'll see what happens (in a manner of speaking).
As someone who has been legally blind their whole life and who might one day benefit from this technology, this looks fucking stupid.

The sigh I'm letting out has yet to find its depth.
This is what the bosses were voting for when they voted for Trump, and why they were aggressively putting out stories about how bad the Biden's 3% unemployment economy was. If you're a worker and you helped them push that narrative, congratulations, you are a dupe:
I'll support arsonists. I don't care what bridges I burn.
We gotta bring back punching Nazis.
very excited to announce I have been featured in Liberal Currents, writing about what Zohran’s pro-housing policy should look like! here’s the TL;DR: 1) upzone, upzone, upzone 2) address hard costs & permitting 3) leverage the public sector 4) appoint the right people 5) sell the vision
Is that what the Trump administration calls gutting the union rights of over 400,000 workers? Trump hasn’t put “American workers first.” He's been the union-buster in chief.
Trump is a demagogue. He wants more and more power for himself. He doesn’t accept criticism — not even from Republicans. He simply wants Americans to bow down and obey. Not gonna happen. Too many brave Americans died to defend democracy to let Trump take it away.
On top of being cartoonishly evil, it's just politically stupid. If they just let him go home and pretended it never happened, it would be forgotten. By drawing it out, they're just underlining their increasingly unpopular cruelty.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
I don't really see how either point is mutually exclusive. If you're progressive, stay on message because progressive policies are popular. But also, people are going to lie about you and try to put you on the defensive and you need to do whatever it is, like not watering down your platform.

Honestly, one of the few lists where I'm like, "Yup. I get that choice," for every entry. And while my favorite performance of the 21st century is not represented (Haley Joel Osment in A.I. Artificial Intelligence) I put, like, 90% of these on my own Oscar-style ballots.
The Trump admin wrongly sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a horrific El Salvadoran prison. Now, just days after he was reunited with his family, they’re trying to deny him his rights and deport him to Uganda. Kilmar—like everyone—deserves a fair hearing to defend himself.
Well, Ezra Miller is a moth to a flame. So, his astonishment at anything is meaningless.
This is definitely gonna work. Historically, the nation has always sided with the government shooting civilians.
Yeah, he's been trying so hard to "mediate" an end to the war. Been busting his ass day and night but he can't square that pesky circle.
It's fine to want spaces away from kids. Kids can be irritating and gross! It's 1,000,000% okay not to be a parent--if it's not for you, don't do it!!! I do think it's creepy that adults treat children--categorically the most vulnerable people--as invaders who are trying to ruin your life.
It's not like kids aren't restricted from lots of places. Beyond that, they have every right to share this world as anyone else. Kids can be loud, dirty, and annoying, but they're just trying to figure it the fuck out like anyone else.
Damn. TACO Tuesday already?
Look, dude, you're the billionaire. You don't need permission from a broke fuck like me to bend the knee. If it appeals to you to kiss Trump's ass--as if anyone who's sold their dignity thinking it would benefit them hasn't been fucked over every single time--you do you.
This would have been semi-relevant in... 2015, maybe. Democrats with any kind of platform don't use these terms, or do so sparingly. They basically never left the "academic hothouses." This is just more conservative rage baiting
Elon thinks anything "the libs" view as transgressive gives him cred among his legions of nihilistic sycophants and therefore makes him badass.
With rich people, I assume they're surrounded by people who never question them, or are just egotists who suppress any self-doubt. Vance I have to assume he's just so desperate to be accepted, even if it means associating with the most morally depraved people, that he'll say or do anything.
I remember getting this CD in the 6th grade and being pretty bored of it after the first three tracks--"She Is," "Over My Head (Cable Car)," and "How to Save a Life," which I still revisit from time to time. Anyway, love The Fray.
Relentlessly cruel and inhumane. Again - whoever leads the Democrats in 27-28 if that person cares about my vote she or he will need to provide a plan for reckoning and accountability for all of this.
The GMO shit is the most maddening. There's a ton of evidence that shows there's nothing wrong with them. But people hear initials that allude to a chemical and they freak the fuck out--which is at least 80% of the MAHA appeal: people fretting over letters they don't understand.
Harris had a lot going against her, much of which was her fault and much of which wasn't. She was stuck with Biden's people and message, and couldn't deviate. That said, even if she could've developed her own platform, I doubt she would have been much better.
Yeah. It's the thing that's maddening. Miller (and the Biden administration by extension) act as though their hands were tied the whole way when they could have been more aggressive and they just weren't. That they knew Netanyahu was acting in bad faith is just ruinous.
Real bad faith shit!
Watched both halves after reading your review. A Bread Factory remains one of my favorite films of the 2010s, and of all time, really. There's nothing else like it.
Sorry. Not gonna pretend JB Pritzker hasn't had shitty views, but I'm gonna take anything posted/reposted by Lexi Alexander with a huge grain of salt.
Hit like if you read film criticism weekly and repost if you read film criticism more than that
What a rotten stupid fuck you have to be to say this shit with a straight face.
