(Sorry in advance for this extremely dumb metaphor)

John Roberts is one of those covers of God Emperor of Dune where it's just, like, a desert landscape, and Clarence Thomas is one of the ones where it's a picture of the giant worm man. The contents are the same, but only one tells you what it is.
looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

We are Thanksgiving hosts and my wife, several years ago, convinced me (amid much skepticism on my end) that it was better to do it as lunch than dinner. Well let me tell you, it’s game-changing, you get all the good parts of Thanksgiving and everyone is out of your house by mid-afternoon.

This shit (the question, not Mamdani’s good answer) is outrageously offensive to both Muslims and Jews.
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

A lot of media and cultural focus of our AI slop world has revolved around the false positives, videos that are fake that people falsely believe to be real, but in the end I think the false negatives will have a much larger and broader impact, bringing everything into question all the time.
I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

The goof in OHMSS where Bond looks at the camera and says “This never happened to the other fellow” comes off as pretty gauche but also represents a version of the franchise that wasn’t so self-serious or obsessed with capital-L Lore. It also happens to be one of the best films in the series.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Something that I always find coming out of these episodes is that I have a greater appreciation for the artist, even ones like Creedence that I’m sort of lukewarm on. John Fogerty is kind of a tiresome asshole but goddamn did he write some indelible jams.
New episode just rolled out!

We’ve covered Tina; now it’s time for the steady, bluesy original. Andrew looks at “Proud Mary” and the brief but productive career of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Available to listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and via Andrew’s website: 500songs.com/podcast/2714/

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

It is obviously insane to believe that Medicaid fraud by "able-bodied men without dependents" is a serious problem in need of attention but also the idea that basic medical care should be dependent on working is fucking stupid, nobody is grifting through life because they love seeing doctors.
Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading “monarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulses” and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother
Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

He’s right and he should say it.
Right I am tired of this. Oasis fucking sucks ok? I have been subject to what I can only describe as a fifteen-year long propaganda campaign, started by my high school crush, to make me believe otherwise. I have pretended for long enough. His voice is unpleasant to hear and the lyrics are terrible

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society
What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.
