Entering my yearly plea- has anyone invented a better way to apply sunscreen to kids?
What are we thinking? Dunk tank? Spray chamber? Sun vaccine? Some kind of artificial skin that lasts 3 months?
I’ll take anything. I’m dying over here….

right-wing nerds who have managed to miss the point of Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, every YA dystopian novel, a shitton of popular video games, and a literal musical about founding fathers rebelling and rioting are truly something else

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."
3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."
This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

It’s always cool to see the old X-Men cast but getting a little tired of the multiverse. Was hoping to see new versions of the characters so we can start moving forward instead of retreading old versions. #mcu

Remember, in Trump world, it’s a cardinal sin to ever say “I was wrong.” It’s a cardinal sin to say “I fucked up, and it won’t happen again.”
Always remember that as you listen to the bullshit coming from Hegseth, Waltz, et al.

you often see partisan political cheerleading compared to sports, but most sports fans i've met usually have some opinions about the tactics of their favorite team, or are even willing to criticize the management when they make bad calls. political cheerleaders are less sophisticated than that

JAWS turns 50 this year and while it's full of effective examples of suspense filmmaking, I would argue that this particular shot is one of the most terrifying things ever captured in cinema.

Felt honored to be chosen as Vivi’s Mystery Reader for her Star of the Week. Read a book that usually makes Jamie cry, which I suspect she chose on purpose. But I kept my composure.

Another example of this weird persecution complex the Right has. Who said you couldn’t tell a joke or have a beer with your friends? I’m a white male and no one has ever told me I can’t do those things. I’m just not an asshole.
JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person bc you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."

Everything that made James Bond special in our era of expanded blockbuster universes died today. It's a big win for growth-obsessed shareholders and franchise gluttons who care more about mindless mass consumption than being entertained.

The Broccolis have strictly maintained James Bond traditions throughout the franchise's history. That will undoubtedly change under Amazon's watch.

The tribalism in politics has got to go.
The idea that everything that a leader from “your party” is correct is destructive and not good for the American people.
These are public servants who should be under the public eye and are not above criticism.
