When Elon Musk was forced to buy Twitter and fired 80% of its staff, everyone thought it would collapse immediately. It didn’t.
It rotted from the inside out, becoming a Nazi-infested crucible for hatespeech and AI-deepfake sexual harassment—unrecognizable as the vital social connector it once was.

I tripped over an open dishwasher, narrowly missed falling on upturned knives, then hit my elbow at full force when I landed, while clutching a glass jar of pickles.
Then I declared to my roommates: “It’s okay! I saved the pickles!”
Anyway, that’s how I PERMANENTLY DENTED A BONE IN MY ELBOW.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

A two-night event with two of the most INDEPENDENT and RENEGADE movies of the century so far.
If you’re in ANY of these cities, but especially NY or LA (which are doing the double feature), you owe it to yourself to see CASTRATION MOVIE on the big screen.

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

In light of all its NSFC wins, a reminder that I do not endorse this movie one bit
“it opts to give just enough lip service to its supposed central theme that ‘revolutionary violence is the only way’ so that viewers can feel good about themselves without having to get their hands dirty. ‘The Spook Who Sat by the Door,’ this is not.” Yes, I panned OBAA. And I am Not Sorry.
In ‘One Battle After Another,’ the revolution doesn’t feel so relevant - The Boston Globe
Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn lean into their worst acting instincts in Paul Thomas Anderson's busy satire.

The owner sold it to private equity, and people have got to stop doing that if they want brands that last.
After 20 years of shaping American dessert culture, Sprinkles has officially closed all of its stores nationwide, marking the end of a brand that not only helped spark but also outlasted the U.S. cupcake craze.
