I keep reading Makary as Malarky.

Dan Trachtenberg owns the predator series now.
A really cathartic thing in this moment of incandescent rage is Predator: Badlands. Fuckin’ rips. Under 2 hours, monster is hot and emo, Elle Fanning incredible in the murderer’s row of Weyland Yutani synthetics, has perfect sense of humor and pace for its barbarian tone. Knows how to be a movie.

How can you promise anything when you know nothing?
Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."
For once, I believe him.

Schumer absolutely signed off on those 8 Dems who voted yes. He needs to be kicked to the curb. Step down as leader ASAP.

For those of you still on the hell site, keep an eye on her entry on Grokipedi(phili)a. I'm sure some weapons grade disinfo will be making is way there.
Joyce Carol Oates told Elon Musk that he’s a pathetic little boy in the way that only an author could and I think that may be the thing that drives him to Do It.

This is good news for now. Kim Davis is not the avatar they need to overturn Obergefell. That's not going to stop the Christo-fascists from finding someone who has a "better" case for Roberts, et al to sink marriage equality.

@drewmagary.bsky.social took Elon Musk's feeble Wikipedia knock off for a test drive so the rest of us don't have to.
Naturally, what he found there in the muck and mire will not surprise you.

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."
