I feel like now that it’s after Thanksgiving, I can re-share my FLOP HOUSE episode about RED ONE, in which we discussed seeing things in 4DX, JK Simmons’ workout routine, and how much more annoying this movie would have been with Ryan Reynolds in it. overcast.fm/+AAA93mq5FA8

US military fliers’ escape maps were made of silk, because it was durable, could get wet and could be folded very small. We cut real escape maps to pocket square size and hand-rolled the edges to make pocket squares with a special story.

If you are giving this Thanksgiving, please consider joining our effort to support Al Otro Lado’s work on both sides of the US-Mexico border. We’re very close to raising half a MILLION dollars for their work.

This is a really good New Republic article about trans people leaving the country. Do some research about getting visas. Start now. It is harder and slower than you think, and there are no opportunities for asylum right now. It also is entirely doable.

Rodney Dangerfield is fundamentally amusing! Other than that it’s a train wreck!
Thank you @jessethorn.bsky.social for finally confirming that Boomers and elder Gen-Xers have been gaslighting the Millennials by saying Caddy Shack is a good movie! #JJGo

Look, I'm genuinely sorry for the Graham Linehan posts. I really am. But this is just too fucking astonishing not to share. The last paragraph of an Observer interview with him. Absolutely beyond parody. He's gone. He's absolutely fucking gone.
