If you are friends with parents who are blabbing about how great RFK is and how their kids won’t be poisoned by vaccines, you are not doing them a favor by going “hmm” and shutting up because it’s a polite. You are doing HIM a favor, at the expense of innocent children.

Walz not running for a third term does free him for 2028, and he seems like the kind of guy who would not want Minnesota to be neglected by their governor because he was running for president. It’s very early, but so far he’s high on my list of people I’d breathe a sigh of relief to vote for.

It’s easy to be tough on this last season of Stranger Things, but a few days later I’m still thinking about how many amazing moments that show gave us over the years. Eddie’s guitar solo, the Never-ending story, the Mall fight, El closing the gate, Robin’s coming out, poor Barb. It had it all.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

It drives me crazy in Big Trouble in Little China when Dennis Dun’s character says “why isn’t it safe to walk in Central Park anymore?” They are in San Francisco. You mean Golden Gate Park, you dumb East coast writers.
#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

Hey I know I’m hopelessly old fashioned, but I think it would actually be a good thing if leaders don’t have to set up defenses against the US kidnapping them.

I am doing a lot of research on Steinbeck and his wife and let me tell you what I’ve learned: these people were having more fun in the 1920s than any one of us has ever had 100 years later.

Precisely. Being the good guys is different than being the less bad guys.
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

I know I should watch news coverage of Venezuela but is there any that is not some version of

The owner sold it to private equity, and people have got to stop doing that if they want brands that last.

I need people to understand that if you asked Grok or any other LLM to write an apology for its ass being too big, it would say something like “I’m truly sorry Jordan, while I don’t have a corporeal BE-hind, I can understand why you think it would theoretically be too big. I’ll do better!”
