Right now there’s a lot of articles about how 2025 US total box office so far proves movies are in decline. It’s mostly bullshit. The real story of 2025 is original movies audiences want to see are doing individually far better than anyone expected, and studios seem to not know, or what people want…
Look at this in an article on biggest fumble of 2025, Sony licensing K-pop Demon Hunters wholesale to Netflix, which could’ve been a giant lifeline to theaters and Sony and despite insane demand for it, won’t because of Netflix’s current strategy to end theatrical. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
The key takeaway is Netflix’s bragged about algorithm that spies on every click you make gives them more data about audiences than ever existed in cinema history. But it has not led to their biggest hits. K-pop DH was made fully separate from Netflix & has crushed their $320 million Electric State.
Most profitable movies of 2025 so far look like Sinners, Weapons, Materialists, & Minecraft. Nearly all them were not expected slam dunk hits with huge marketing campaigns. In case of Sinners, there was a weird insider whisper campaign to torpedo it before release! www.vulture.com/article/is-s...
Another notable thing: it’s looking like this will be the first year in 13 years Marvel doesn’t have a movie in the top 10. Superman meanwhile, with a wildly different take and tone on superhero movies, did surprisingly better. -Repetition- fatigue is real.
UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
the way Walken shifts from avuncular, fun loving pal to dead eyed remorseless killer in a split second is astonishing
BREAKING Belgium to recognise Palestine at UN General Assembly, says foreign minister
I suspect he'll try to bury the Maxwell pardon soon, probably with an illegal invasion of Chicago.
Reading a recent news story about an archaeological find of burial mounds in Kazakhstan, and wait, what? arkeonews.net/mystical-lig...
All kidding aside, it is so *insane* & *shocking* & *dangerous* that Corporate Media has collectively decided to completely bury objective fact that the President is uninformed, confused, and physically & mentally deteriorating.
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
But he won't just be remembered for the roles he played on screen but for the work he did in our communities, for the kinship that he had with folks. He was a good man. He will be missed.

so this is going to fall apart like Schumer’s book tour right
Knowing our luck, it’s probably just some fashy EO.
I keep imagining an Always Sunny episode titled "The Gang Sets Monetary Policy"
Trump would never resign, don’t even let that idea enter your pretty little head
He's gonna invade Venezuela to distract from the Epstein victims speaking out.
When he shows up, alive and functioning at the level we've come to expect from him, everybody could just refuse to accept the reality. "Wasn't him." "Body double." "Clone," "AI hologram. Did you see that glitch in his right nostril?" He'd LOVE that!
Exactly what you’d expect a dead guy to do.
Trump probably just told his minions he’s going to make an announcement tomorrow and it’s up to them to figure out what it’s supposed to be

Went to see "Caught Stealing" at the Laurelhurst. It was violent, bloody, funny, entertaining. Good underwear scenes.
If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.
Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
I was reading Jezebel's annual spooky-but-supposedly-true-stories collection one year, and one guy had a story about how, as a teen living in an old house, he once got slapped across the face by a ghost while he was attempting to have some, ahem, quality alone-time in the bathroom.
Preview of the announcement:
A good report about how the federal SCAAP program feeds data into ICE deportation machine. Some quotes from me about how we analyzed it in Wisconsin.

I’m outside the MDC here in Los Angeles, where a protest march has just converged outside the gate. Once again a lively atmosphere here
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Great day for this story to drop
*pinches bridge of nose* Maybe, ABC, just maybe we should report on neo-Nazis without actually using audio clips of them. Ditto Trump.

This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old
Oh, sure, he's either fine or will be fine, but he's too much of a narcissist to be seen in public with any infirmity on display. Either that, or he's been busy planning an invasion of Venezuela.
Each day I am astounded and mortified by this country’s descent into open and brazen racism I am equally astounded and mortified that rather than push back on the malign forces taking us to these dark places - an elected Labour government appears more interested in trying to learn from them
These taken together constitute the toughest measures adopted by any European state yet and come after the Belgian Deputy PM, who is also Foreign Minister, threatened to block all other government business unless Belgium adopted these measures.
It is fun to imagine he’s dead though, I’m going to allow myself this tiny luxury
Hello to all my new bot followers! Also hello to all the operatives just trying to make a living by creating fake accounts on social media platforms for their governments and associated contractors! I know you're all working hard and I see you.

Holy smokes This is the crowd at the Bernie Sanders/Graham Platner Fighting Oligarchy event in Portland, ME tonight Platner is the oyster farmer challenging Susan Collins; Senate seat👇 Overwhelming turnout! I feel like maybe Susan's number is finally up ..
There are serious concerns about the President’s health and the political press follows every lead to get to the bottom of his condition, obviously it’s the summer of 2024 because there’s no fucking way they’d do that today
BREAKING: The death toll from a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan’s east rose to 900, with 3,000 people injured, an official said as rescue teams scoured the area for survivors.

I'm sorry, but genetic engineering is getting out of hand.
Great lead headline right now, @nytimes.com.
Is he announcing a ground war in Venezuela?
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
🍊🪦 I WANT TO BELIEVE
it’s such a luxury that we have easy and accessible hikes that only take 90 minutes and instead of climbing a mountain puts you next to an beautiful inlet, but there’s only like 10 people at the end because we live in a place with 100 other options anyways jug island was nice
The only important thing about tomorrow's press conference is whether Trump can dispel the serious concerns over his health. Can he convince the public he's not experiencing severe medical issues? Get up there, do announcement, take questions, and act normal. It shouldn't be difficult, and yet...
yes. tasting fabrics is one of the easiest ways to test fiber composition. natural fabrics, such as wool, cotton, and linen, breakdown in the digestive tract. synthetics such as polyester will not. so to test fiber composition, eat the garment. if fibers appear in your poop, it was synthetic.

Well I never... a rainbow appeared before sunrise, created just by the light of an orange and red glow in the east. There's a first time for everything. I've certainly never see such a thing before.
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
"A bitter fall looms in American politics, as President Donald Trump flexes unchecked power that often tests the Constitution while Democrats grapple for traction with their voters demanding a fight back," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/3JIqbe6
It is absolutely criminal that as the GOP crows about urban crime, every Dem isn’t on TV saying, “Look, Larry Hogan is a so-called ‘moderate’ Republican and crime in his state’s largest city has plummeted since he was replaced by a Democrat.”
Nadler unintentionally nailed the dynamic when he said: "When he could not give Donald Trump evidence of a deep state conspiracy, Mr. Durham gave him the next best thing, a public narrative with Hillary Clinton as the victim...villain."
If history is any guide, there’s no place to go but UP, baby!
When we were naming our daughter, I remember saying about names that seemed too cute or girly, "how will that sound if she grows up to be, like, a judge?" Turns out it sounds perfect.

I feel like the news media felt like they had the most exciting job in the world for 4 years, followed by 4 very dull years, and now it’s exciting again and they never want to go back to it being dull
happy labor day

There will be NHL hockey this month. #GoLeafsGo
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Finally. The use of screens is a way to cheap out on design and manufacturing. And it’s dangerous. One should never have to take their eyes off the road to look for a function like climate control or anything else. Good design will be kinesthetic and fall to hand.
It’s another reason I hate Teslas. Every time I get out of a ride share Tesla, I have to look around for the door release because it is non-standard.

Even with the drastically reduced disease surveillance and deliberate undercount, official CDC sources are already reporting the highest number of measles cases in more than 30 years, after it was officially declared “eliminated” in the US in 2000. Also, school is about to start.
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

one of my concerns is people are gonna get used to armed presences everywhere in the cities, that we'll get a de facto police state. Kind of like how some folks think requiring schoolkids to walk through metal detectors to go to school normalizes that kind of thing
There's something really funny about how Gen Z has realised that all you have to do is film yourself making shocked faces and mouthing WOOOOW to hit songs from the 70s and 80s and put it on YT and it's basically a free money transfer service from boomers

It’s been 29 months since ProPublica exposed Justice Clarence Thomas’s undeclared gifts from billionaire Harlan Crow & yet he remains on the SupCt, unpunished, unrepentant & still writing & helping write rulings harming Americans & democracy based on tortured interpretations of the Constitution.

Pope Leo XIV met with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. The Rev. James Martin said Leo told him that he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.
I've only visited Iceland once, but the impossibly beautiful model in a stewardess outfit who was featured on Icelandic Air's brochures walked by me in the airport, wearing her stewardess outfit, because she was an actual stewardess, not a model. Although she was impossibly beautiful, too.
Have I told you about the first time I let my daughter walk alone to piano practice? She had to cross a (big-ish) street, so I told her I would walk behind her and observe. At the zebra walk my daughter, like a boss, puts out her palm to signal the oncoming driver to stop. And Björk stops her car.

There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel. 1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts. A page at a time comes together quickly
