I’m roughly the demographic for Christy. I go to in-person movies regularly. The only reason I knew about it was there was a poster in the theatre hallway outside the auditorium I saw One Battle After Another in. MASSIVE marketing failure.
‘Christy’ starring Sydney Sweeney opens to $1.3M at the domestic box office

• Top 10 worst opening weekend ever for a film in over 2,000 theaters

• ~$646 per-theater average

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

The current MSNBC panel is actually vibrant and asking tough questions of guests. If MSNBC were like this all the time, not just Sundays at 10pm I might actually tune in more (no shade @chrislhayes.bsky.social I <3 u)

So what I’m taking away from this specifically is that New Hampshire’s Senators suck.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I don’t even know what you do in this situation. Pay your rent, pay your healthcare, eat rice and beans, learn to live without electricity?
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

2256.42%????

TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

Getting really tired of the political side that contemptuously said they were the realists who would “call a spade a spade” for the last thirty or forty years, suddenly becoming the party of “it’s not a tariff it’s a ‘licensing fee’”.
If I had to lock myself in, I’d say 6-3 against tariffs but with a clear way for Trump to try them again but he has to call them “license fees.”

But I’m not confident in that prediction because Roberts and ACB are squirrels

For some reason the Reddit algorithm has started feeding me r/tattooadvice and every one is someone with the gnarliest infection ever asking whether it’s normal or they should see a doctor. If you have to ask Reddit if your tattoo should be oozing green puss, you might deserve to die of sepsis.

There’s a certain type of woman who doesn’t want to admit (to herself much less anyone else) that she’s actually a reactionary conservative, and boy do they not understand actual left (even center left) women At All.

Just going to say again that it feels like we’re going through a period uniquely and expressly designed to torture historians.
Me: “Quit doing the ‘the Nazis got their ideas from America’ thing because people don’t understand what they are talking about and the Nazis did fine on their own.”

Them: “What could go wrong? I know what I’m talking about.”

What went wrong:

I continue to be deeply impressed by Hilary Mantel’s dedication to hating Sir Thomas More!
I’m reading Wolf Hall, and every 20 pages or so I have to put it down and say “damn, Hilary Mantel really hated Sir Thomas More.”

Watching All of You on AppleTV. Both of these people need serious therapy, Laura moreso than Simon, but still.

A perennial Reddit post: a lonely guy asks for advice on dating/making friends IRL. The standard advice is offered (go to bars, join clubs, take classes, go to church, join a gym, volunteer), and he rejects every suggestion with an excuse for why he can’t make the effort to do any of those things.
The trouble with the people whining about "the male loneliness epidemic" is they reject every possible solution to it other than "submit to fascism"
