Today is the 30th anniversary of the second-best Muppet movie, Muppet Treasure Island. And since it boasts the best human performance from Tim Curry, I wrote about what makes him so special in this essay.
“Where Caine and his holiday film take things relatively seriously,” @mousterpiece.bsky.social writes, “Curry’s performance and the film in which it’s housed are a lot loopier, gleeful, and more in line with the anarchy that the Muppets represented in earlier films.” buff.ly/0TwoG7O

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Debunked.
Official statement from WBD on Brody King:

"Warner Bros. Discovery did not have any involvement in Brody King’s upcoming AEW schedule. Any speculation to the contrary is categorically false. Brody is scheduled to appear during the next AEW event, which will air this Saturday on TNT and HBO Max"

This is exactly what you'd do if you wanted to make sure that wrestling fans chanted "Fuck ICE" throughout the hours of live wrestling you air in prime time every week.

Once more and with feeling it is then.

Anyone who thinks this will get the crowd to *stop* chanting "Fuck ICE" is unfamiliar with [checks notes] the entire recorded history of pro wrestling.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
