I know Kevin Smith is cringe now or whatever but there are about 1000 things in JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK that are still the funniest things in the world to me
Jason Mewes’ greatest contribution to pop culture isn’t necessarily his work in CLERKS, but it’s this line in JAY & SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK. Ben Affleck has said he get yelled this line on the street the most outta any of his own films.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Nithya Raman has a much, much more difficult race to run than Mamdani did, and his was plenty difficult, but even her presence in the race shifts the conversation in the right direction. Here’s hoping.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

You're all doing a great job dunking on the "talent is gatekeeping and AI democratizes the arts" post, all I have to add is you need a pencil and a piece of paper to be an artist, or some paint, but to be an AI Artist you need a credit card.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

I have literally only bought like three things from Amazon in the past 15 years. Everything you want is available somewhere else!
Obviously do what works best for you but fwiw: I decided to cancel Amazon Prime a year ago and find stuff elsewhere whenever I could, and… it took a little bit to get used to but it’s surprisingly easy to build new patterns of online shopping.
