Trader Joe's Thai-style yellow curry sauce is an absolutely magic product that transforms whatever food you have on hand into restaurant-quality Thai food

Ben and JLo getting back together but it’s the guy from Spoon and the girl from Fiery Furnaces

Watching the "Cubby Bear" cartoons from Van Beuren studios in the '30s. A horribly non-charming and unfunny character but I can't stop watching, even this third-string stuff hits good when you're a toonfreak

I feel like Sentimental Value should be boycotted for using the Faces song from Rushmore in the trailer. That song is from Rushmore. The fucking gall, unbelievable

I love when a corner store resells Kirkland products. Yes king use that Costco membership to buy cheap goods and mark them up at your shitty store

Pluribus is an AI metaphor, right? Have these thinkpieces been filed yet? The premise is rife with various metaphorical possibilities I suppose but “the last holdout not using AI” has gotta be one of them

It’s so sad that Denis Johnson didn’t live to see Train Dreams. A very fine adaptation.

“Describing rapid response networks and neighborhood moms as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are, and how extreme their views are.”

— U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis
FULL STORY: Finding that federal agents repeatedly used force that “shocks the conscience” and lied about their actions, a federal judge issued a sweeping injunction designed to permanently rein in agents’ use of tear gas and pepper balls. @wttw.bsky.social

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

This Nuremberg movie feels like a post-Oppenheimer historical drama where the historical events are essentially used as IP. This, along with the music biopics, is how IP disease infects the brief time of year once reserved for non-IP releases.

Haven't seen the movie I'm just riffing

Every once in a while I am reminded that television was just about ready for a consumer rollout when WWII happened. The spread and then dominance of TV is so tied to the 1950s; it’s hard to imagine what the past would look like had, say, FDR regularly been on TV. What a strange detour history took.

Realized it would be easy to metrically recreate the "Thanks Obama" memes with Mamdani. "Thanks Mamdani." Same meter. This is the real parallel between these two

I didn't know about the Virginia guy texting scandal until he won but this is a genuinely funny conceit and you'd have to be pretty illiterate to think he's actually calling for violence

All I want is one single reporter to ask him if he thinks people seeking asylum = means from insane asylums
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

Goddammit I already missed my window to see Blue Moon because it flopped so hard. Will have to watch this on my DINK-ASS television with my cat climbing on me and the neighbors tromping around. I hate watching movies at home so much man

[After promising my parole officer I wouldn’t say anything weird for a while] Zohran and AOC should leave their spouses for each other
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Adams and Lightfoot need to go on a comedy tour like Marty Short and Steve Martin
ADAMS: Now “I don't have to deal with you guys, man. I can fly private now, I can go on a cruise, I can hang out in St. Bart.”
