Exec: We were thinking something about togetherness, or magic, or—
Walt Disney: Lots of implied sexual danger

Everyone’s trying to figure out why the fuck Trump is doing this. I have no idea, but people are sleeping on this angle: Denmark’s female PM basically laughed at him when he tried to buy Greenland in 2019

Turns out the Epstein Files are just hundreds upon hundreds of blacked out documents. I declare President Trump INNOCENT.

I resent Trump for making me care about the stupidest shit
Only Congress can change the name of the Kennedy Center
Wow, look at these totally independent and respected people who wanted to name it after the president.
The president himself! The president's chief of staff! The president's advisors! The attorney general! The vice president's wife! The president's favorite Fox News hosts! ... Uh, Lee Greenwood!

When the news first broke I was trying to think of the best ways it could turn out, and this is probably the worst it could have turned out.
"Senior law enforcement sources told ABC News the victims were stabbed to death."

It never gets mentioned when people talk about Reiner’s run of great movies, but I have a weird soft spot for North. I don’t know why but when I was a kid I watched North like 12 times. I don’t think anyone else did that, like in the world

Democrats would never lose the White House again if the election was held on a random Tuesday in December
A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

Just imagining one of the candidates being like "Uhh, maybe a parade where they walk backwards the whole time?" and it tanks their candidacy
Can't stop thinking about the question, "Are there any parades that don't exist that you think should?" By far the funniest thing ever asked at a debate.

I can’t believe that in this whole giant bill nobody included an amendment that movie theaters have to have a little countdown clock in the corner when they’re playing trailers that shows how much time until the movie actually starts so you know if you have time for a last pee

Whatever happens, and whatever you think of him, Zohran has run an incredible campaign that Democrats (or anyone) should learn from. This man was polling at 1% in February.

Free idea for any mayoral candidate who wants it: when they play trailers at the movies there should be a little clock in the corner of the screen that tells you how much time is left until the movie actually starts so you know if you have time for a last pee
