Jurassic Park, like Jaws, is a clairvoyant warning about capitalism run amok. Which is a major part of why it’s a perfect film that none of the sequels or spinoffs can match.
Jurassic Park is a perfect example of a great movie whose message is ignored and diluted by a studio that sees dollar signs only. A three-decade franchise that should have been one movie only.

Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

Seeing a lot of folks who either don’t know what the usual numbers look like or who didn’t go look at the demographics and methodology and are treating this as a _meh_ data point when anything close to this would be earth-shaking. Believe it when you see it, etc, but these are GOP extinction numbers

White House has picked very pro-Trump pool reporters for Trump's Oval Office meeting with Mamdani on Friday: TV is Fox and Newsmax; Print is Washington Times and The Telegraph; New Media is Megyn Kelly. Exception is Radio: AURN (whose Black, female correspondent Trump called obnoxious in September)

"The prospect of the files’ release or further disputes about their release will hang over Trump. That makes it more likely that a cornered Trump will lash out not just in speech but in deed... Presidential panic isn’t pretty. It’s also a danger to the republic."

If you include the World Cup break in the 2026 MLS schedule, 84% of the full capacity match-weeks line up with the new summer-to-spring calendar they'll start using in 2027.

It's essentially the same schedule already.

Remember the horrifying text messages that showed a Border Patrol agent bragging about shooting someone in Chicago last month?

The government just abandoned their charges against the woman who was shot to avoid even *more* embarrassing texts being released, it seems. New @motherjones.com
The feds suddenly want to drop charges against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent
The move avoids the release of more messages from a Border Patrol agent whose previous texts showed he had bragged about shooting her.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

👇🎯 And not too long from now, we will be told we need to move on & none of the people involved in committing these heinously immoral crimes will go to jail or suffer consequences at all. So, as with all of the awful & illegal things since 1865 in 🇺🇸 politics, they will happen again in the future.
Not too long from now, we will look back on these strikes as we today view the torture at Abu Ghraib: heinously immoral conduct done in the name of national security & enabled by legal & constitutional arguments designed only to justify a predetermined conclusion.
