I just don’t understand why now. He’s always been a racist scumbag. How is a 2 second video finally the last straw? This is a dude known to throw around the n word, but a cartoon video does the trick? 🙄 Fine, I guess?
Trump’s racist video is by far the most widely denounced thing he’s done since January 6

Couldn’t agree more! Just wish Tom wasn’t such an asshole towards those who like different things than he does :)

Not at all, in fact the opposite. Tom carries himself as someone who has the one and only *correct* opinion on movies and tv, is often an asshole about it, and that’s what rubs me wrong.

I was hoping he would, why do you ask?

Oh he’s allowed to post about whatever he wants, as are we all, he just has a way of being an asshole about it and seemingly goes out of his way to piss in other people’s Cheerios, which I find to be in poor taste.

For someone whose main opinion seems to be that people stick to their own expertise, he sure likes to spend a large majority of his time here larping as a film & tv critic lol

You know, for someone who's all about people sticking to their relevant "expertise," you sure do engage in a lot of amateur armchair boomer media criticism on this here website 😂

So apparently an app that points out where the murderous thugs are can't be allowed, while apps that deepfake pedo shit are totally cool. Bravo, Apple and Google. Bravo.
NEW: Last night, Democratic Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from their app stores over sexual deepfakes.
Hours later, X restricted Grok's abilities on the app.

Q: How do you respond to people who say what you're saying is in direct contradiction to the video?
NOEM: This vehicle was used to hit this officer. It was used as a weapon. And the officer feels as though his life was in jeopardy

Your piece today says the new release doesn’t have anything accusing Trump of wrongdoing. Do you not consider it wrongdoing for a grown man to have a love of “young, nubile girls” that he would “grab snatch” of as they walked by?

Yeah but does it reliably turn on/wake up over years of use? That's been my issue with every non Apple branded display when connected to my Mac.

If you think the large percentage of Hispanic voters in Texas are going to turn out for republicans again after this last year of ice hounding… 😬 It doesn’t really matter who it is between the Dem options, imo.

Also, Miami just elected its first Dem mayor in 30 years. Just because it’s been a while, doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

What about the 13 point swing in Tennessee recently? All it would take to flip Texas is a 7-8 point swing 🤔

Senate races get a lot more national attention than attorney general races, which tend to line up with the vote for governor imo. I know some Floridians who didn’t truly get to know DeSantis until he ran for president, despite voting for him for governor, and there was some definite wincing regret..

I wasn’t asking him not to talk about it, just not to speak for us. But you’re right, I definitely could’ve worded that better :)

It’s not about the politics, it’s about the candidates and their talent for getting attention in a congested attention economy.

And I’m of the opinion that by the time Nov 2026 rolls around, even Texans won’t want to vote in yet another corrupt criminal clown into office as our economy is cratering. We shall see.
