I have an irrational hatred of Jesse Eisenberg. I’m sure he’s a perfectly pleasant man IRL, but for some reason all of his movie roles have just irked me. I think it was the “Now You See Me” movies that solidified it for me. Couldn’t stand a movie about a bunch of smug, pretentious magicians.
What actor are you so (rationally or not) repulsed by that their work, no matter how good, is unwatchable to you?

I wish Father Mulcahy was real, because he would most certainly be out on the streets with his boxing gloves, knocking ICE agents unconscious with a mean right hook.

2 Year Old: “Why?”
*heavy sigh* “Well, you see, we unfortunately live under a system of economic capitalism where the acquisition of material wealth is upheld as the main motivator of…. you know what, just read this.”

You know what’s wild to me? The #MCU and the #FastAndTheFurious movie franchises have both been around for so long now that their first films contain a transphobic joke and a homophobic slur, respectively.

No, it’s worse than that. They didn’t “go” insane. They were always insane, and the people voted them in anyway.

The Enterprise-D bridge we got is my favourite from all the shows, so things worked out well. But I've always found these ideas for a much more casual, democratic bridge to be very appealing. I'd still like to see something like this in a Star Trek series one day. /1

The Renault Twingo is back as a retro-chic EV for the masses.
Priced below €20,000, the reborn Twingo will face the Volkswagen ID.1, Hyundai Inster, Fiat 500e, and the BYD Dolphin Surf.
What do you think of its design?

Trump: *puts this chair in the Oval Office.
Karoline Leavitt: “The insinuation by members of the lying fake-news media that the President’s choice of chair is somehow inappropriate or “obviously evil” is ridiculous and, quite frankly, insulting and hurtful to our great and perfect leader.”

Also me, whenever I see “Global Village Coffeehouse”:

Let me get this straight: Poilievre basically forces Justin Trudeau out of his role as Prime Minister, & still loses not only the election, but his own seat.
Meanwhile, JT gets to have a stress-free retirement from politics, not have to deal with any of Trump’s bullshit, & have sex with Katy Perry 🤣
