I watched the trailer for this movie specifically to learn wtf is going on with that name and was left not only completely in the dark but annoyed that I had watched the trailer. 100% oscarbait
Look, I'm going to see Hamnet, but I can't get over how silly "Hamnet" is. It's hard not to feel ridiculous saying it. Like you're a kindergartner proud of some new bit of information but you bungle the announcement. "But that was a real name!" I don't care. Not my fault.

the urban planner insisting that waymo killing kitkat the mission shop cat is not a issue about autonomous vehicles is such a bad look

❓Has your opinion on AVs changed over time? Why?

nothing better to show you are ready to take over the seat of the most powerful house speaker of all time than calling for the resignation of the leader of the other side of congress than the one you are running for
UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

not sure who needs to hear this, but for the record, England is a very nice place to visit
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.
The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

here's a concrete next step that you can ask your senators to do to replace Schumer
We need 24 Senators to replace @schumer.senate.gov as Senate Minority Leader.
To get there, we need 10 Senate Dems to request a special meeting with the conference chair w/ an agenda to remove Schumer and who would replace him. Schumer would b required to hold the meeting within 3. Then they vote.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

so apparently the new mayor of sf, who has no political experience, gave the open supervisor seat to a 29 year old music teacher / entrepreneur with no political experience because she walked up to him at a night market and asked for the job, which is truly wild and rather unsettling!
