To this day I cannot watch those music biopics—even the ones I like!—without thinking about Walk Hard
a movie so sharp and funny that it basically killed the musical biopic for a decade

To paraphrase the late, great Mitch Hedberg: Nigel Farage used to be racist. He still is, but he used to be, too.
Wow, the dam has really broken on allegations about Farage’s racism when he was at school. There was nothing like this intensity during Brexit - I think it says a lot about how much more dangerous he is now perceived to be. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Sherrill is certainly a centrist—she’s probably to the right of Senate Dem leadership—but she understands that the people that got her elected won’t stand for this. This will be the dividing line between he Democrats next year: who gets that base is tired of elitist gerontocracy, and who doesn’t?
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The Peanuts holiday specials are wild because one minute kids are teasing Linus about sitting in the pumpkin patch instead of trick-or-treating and the next minute Snoopy is briefly experiencing trench warfare

Less than 5 minutes into el Clásico and we already have a clear penalty overturned by VAR giving the ref a bad angle. Buckle up.

Unfortunately I think “fuck it, we ball” is about all Liverpool have got right now.
i feel like there should be more complex tactical solutions than "bring on all the attackers".

Liverpool should've bought the Kerkez who crossed the ball for Bournemouth. Not sure who this guy is.

Oh so it’s gonna be THAT kind of season for DWhite…
Derrick White has 23 points. No one else on the Celtics has more than 8

The subtext of this comment is that the Mayor of Boston is Asian-American, whereas the Mayor of Chicago (like almost everyone else that Trump refers to as “a low IQ person”) is Black.
Trump: "Boston had a bad mayor who at least is a reasonable IQ person. Most of them are low IQ. I mean, what's going on in Chicago ... "

Curious if MAGA knows that "God Bless America" was written by someone not born in America who arrived here without any authorization whatsoever and yet, through the woke policies of the time, was allowed to stay and to become a naturalized citizen. So very "open borders."

They’re shooting priests in the head with pepper balls. There is no moral appeal to these fascist thugs that can possibly work. They should be utterly shunned from polite society and the shame of this should follow them the rest of their lives.
CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

“Please, daddy, come tread on me!!”

What a fucking joke. Douthat will say or do anything if the thugs shredding the Constitution can get him one step closer to his Christofascist dreams. He’s an intellectual weakling of the highest order.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Many stewards of cultural institutions are aware that they have a problem,” our columnist Ross Douthat writes. “But they are still dealing with internal ideological pressures — so to be able to reform, they need pressure from the outside to do the right thing.”

This is an excellent, rigorously organized argument against uncritical AI adoption that everyone in academia should read.

In 50 years I think we’re going to look at universities scrambling to endorse ChatGPT Edu like we do those “4 out of 5 doctors smoke Chesterfields — The HEALTHY Cigarette!” ads

Can’t wait to see what the “free speech absolutists” in the comedy world have to say about this!!!!
Sinclair, run by right-wing media mogul David Smith, says suspending the Jimmy Kimmel show isn’t enough. It is going to run a tribute to Kirk during Kimmel’s time slot.

Sinclair stations will run not consider putting Kimmel back on air until he apologizes and donates to Turning Point USA

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
