Every entertainment news article covering Poker Face's cancellation seems to have run with the idea that Peter Dinklage would take over *as* Charlie Cale but the actual quote doesn't seem to support that as the case? I think the idea is a new actor would just play a new lie-detector?

For me off the top of my head is Nick Hornby’s ABOUT A BOY.
The scene where Marcus’ mum is crying at the breakfast table and the 12 year old boy has a whole running monologue in his mind that boils down to “oh no now it can happen anytime.”
Masterclass is using humor to emphasize sadness.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

The Princess Bride showed me that books could be more than just third-person narration
and there’s nothing wrong with third-person narration!
but the metatextual way it tells its story blew my fuckin’ teenager mind and opened me to a world I didn’t even know could exist

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.
Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Emailed and called @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov asking thrm not to cave. Also left a msg for @schumer.senate.gov saying that if this deal goes through, any money I would’ve given to Senate Dems will go instead to primary opponents of the people who caved.

It feels weird to check in with the hive mind about Pluribus but… I really dig it so far.
Granted I’d watch Rhea Seehorn read from the phone book so getting to see her doing more Vince Gilligan instead is already an upgrade.

“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.

Must-read report from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social on today’s SCOTUS order allowing the Trump administration to implement its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy.
Breaking: SCOTUS lets Trump administration implement anti-trans, anti-nonbinary passport policy
The Democratic appointees, led by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented. The ruling, which applies during litigation, effectively reverses two lower court rulings.

Reminder: It benefits nobody in a way to list sex assigned at birth on passports, there is no requirement to include it, this is just about punishing trans etc. Americans.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy during litigation.
The unsigned, four-paragraph order effectively reverses two lower-court decisions. The Democratic appointees dissent.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A319
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. ASHTON ORR, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[November 6, 2025]
This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at
birth. The United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then
filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac-
tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreievxyvqikl7wmrg5jkqhsrta5l5xfq272x7caunvxka7vtuzp7hoa@jpeg)

What this order makes clear is that plaintiffs can collect a mountain of animus, the district court can write extensively about the record, and the Supreme Court will just go “nuh uh.”
