What a hellish way to waste your one precious life.
Man, Orson Welles really nailed his country - a nation of Kanes, Harry Limes, and Hank Quinlans.
Comme moi aujourd’hui
I don't even remember who that is.
The correct answer to a citizen of Klansville, Alabama saying they feel like the country is leaving them behind is “good.”
oh so what I’m getting from the tea leaves of potemkin photo ops is the powers behind the throne are suddenly not quite so confident of their ability to keep all of this - >gestures widely< - shuddering down the highway in the event the primary cult object suddenly and publicly dematerializes
I want to throttle Sean Manaea
Hyperstition.
I got my kids to eat beans by telling them it'll make them fart. Their eyes got big and they started chowing.
The food in Paris is great, but mostly French. If I could eat at only one restaurant, I'd choose Paris; but if you gave me a punch card for 10 restaurants, it's easily London.
No one asked for it, but my British/American food opinion is...who gives a shit if it's "British" or "American,"?! The food in London is fucking excellent, therefore food in England is good.
Cling to their bibles? If only. They never comprehended their bibles. They cling to marketing: Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and the Barrel Cracker etc. Their praxis is waiting in line for Chik Fil A. Their heritage is green bean casserole made with Campbell's cream of whatever soup. Embarrassing.
Wonder Bread
I went into a Montparnasse boulangerie that had two separate 3rd place awards for Best Flan. Very weird and funny (flan was good).
here's a cold, final word on american-uk food discourse: i think it's very interesting how americans will absolutely claim food introduced to them by an immigrant or minority culture is american food but when anyone else does it it is 100% not theirs and how dare they
And far too many "support the troops/first responders" types in the general populace to join the maidan at that point.
Some of our favorite posters are also putting far too much hope into "there aren't enough troops and cops to stop us" in the nation that drummed out a football player for doing the most innocuous protest in history.
Imaginez que c'est bien fait
So a UK minister feels obligated to understand the racist concerns of a US citizen who migrated there? Why?
The left doesn't need a Rogan, but it does need a Rufo.
if we lie enough times that he's dead the new york times has to do a 3 month long barrage of stories over whether or not he's dead
Picture of a man fitting the description of the other driver.
Singapore
On the night of August 30, 2025, Mayor Giuliani happened upon a woman drowning in a giant martini,

If he looks frail, he doesn't even have to die right now to get people questioning if this is something they want to continue being involved in.
"I guess JD Vance, who no one likes, might protect you, but do you want to prove it?"
I feel like the real victim in this as a non-woo lefty who does actually think the tallow fries taste better
That's me!
Well, there's taxes and the other thing, so.
The "fight" democrats definitely need to immediately start doing the thing where they remind everyone that when he's dead, it's over; and we've been watching you and taking names.
Parisian guide to snitchin'
Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
You guys remember coca cola?
The Coronial generation
I can walk to seven bakeries, three of which would be the best you've ever been to, and I still manage to have plain-ass grocery store white bread on the counter every day. Skill issue.
figuring out which proposals assholes fear the most is like a compass that points to whatever would do the most good for the most people
I was shocked watching another mid- (and mid) mainstream 90s comedy, Airheads, where it was taken for granted that cops just suck.
Something to be said for the young boomer/gen x/old millennial "you are evil racist buffoons who should be ignored, mocked, and if necessary, roasted on a spit while we burn your villages."
Ricci's Wednesday has a proper and unnuaced sense of justice throughout.
The Thanksgiving play in Addams Family Values is a Mel Brooks-worthy good old-fashioned beat down of what used to be pretty obvious villains.
That's around the sweet spot for at least a few of those 8k i imagine.

My "I'm Not Dead" head is getting questions, etc.
"Daisy, daisy ..."
REPORTER: did you talk to Republican colleagues about your anti-secret police bill package that they absolutely will not sign onto? ME: 👎👎👎
Amazing to offer this as Proof of Life frankly.
Now is a good time for '28 wannabes to start talking about prosecutions.
I dosed before a small party and didn't tell anyone. They put on Faces of Death and I had to go outside for a few hours.
Oh yeah, Batman '66 too
Is it good when you appear to lose and then gain 30 pounds from day to day?
The Holy Mountain
Special place. My first date with my wife was a midnight showing of The Shining and we saw Silence of the Lambs at midnight there a year later, just before I left NYC. It's also special to us because I still call it The Waverly and it drives her insane.
The good wine shops are closed on Sundays and Mondays so I should probably get that champagne today, just in case...
Googling sad versions of YMCA just in case
Yeah, you're definitely going to be hearing blasts of my favorite songs from my death chamber.
And as it would be 3am in France, this is how I'll find out.
I want it to happen during a Mets game so when the crowd goes wild Howie Rose has to awkwardly explain to listeners it's because someone died not for a play on the field.
No public appearances scheduled, apparently.
Think I'll spend the cooler months becoming an andouillette guy.
But as every schoolchild knows, Nirvana did not bring down the USSR, Scorpions did!
I don't know if you've seen other Johnnie To's, but man I'm loving them.
Two great, and two meh, but the Minecraft movie was far less excruciating than it could have been.
You got me checking, and I'm in luck (in Lyon)! www.institut-lumiere.org/programme/se...
I’ve not seen Violette Noziere but my favourite Chabrol, also starring Stéphane Audran, is the superb Le Boucher. www.bfi.org.uk/lists/claude...
I just don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the public should be worried when a former senior Labour MP, who famously helped General Augusto Pinochet evade facing trial for crimes against humanity including torture, argues that Britain should ‘decouple’ from the European Convention on Human Rights.
Like, the ability of other countries to pass gun control laws says more about their culture then the effectiveness of the laws.
I do think showing up to City Council meetings with those photos and saying "the French figured out how to do this and you're telling me you can't?" Would work in a lot places tbqh
Combined with an intricate system of night trains perhaps?
Is The Metro still around? I saw Oasis there.
Due to the end of summer, I will now replace "touching grass" with "hanging out at the sidewalk cafe" thank you.
Walking the concrete > touching grass, imo
I regret to inform you that the solution you seek is "electing people who aren't republicans," and you live in a two-party system.
I hate when the yummy mummy boss ladies want to have fun with me; it's much more alpha to be angry and alone on my computer.
What can liberals do to help rurals right now? Is there a bill they can pass or perhaps an EO?
I agree that it totally sucks that elections (especially elections between people I don't really like) have consequences, but
"What is a co-ethnic in the US," seems to be a question Trump and Miller are willing to ask, though.
You mean to tell me Turkish delight and baklava aren’t the same thing? I have woefully misunderstood the betrayal at the center of the Narnia books
Yet, the guy who came there from Queens? They keep missing.
Counterculture doesn't have to be "I only listen to punk, pop music sucks," but it should at the very least be, "I reject all billionaires with private jets as artists."
That's just lazy old-fartism

I saw him at a Lincoln Center screening of City Lights with orchestra, just catching a movie by himself. Now that's a good dude!

Andy Brennan's evil doppelganger emerges from the Black Lodge as Governor B.
No words, just this photo from Richard Tsong-Taatarii of the Minneapolis @startribune.com:
Me, getting ready to jump into the city vs. country discourse.
For us it was the summer of '22 with Uvalde and Dobbs.
