He conned a whole generation into thinking he was the “peace president” and here we are.

Really wish Mos would have called a timeout during that run. He probably lost us the game

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Awesome halftime show. Bad Bunny won’t get enough credit for pulling off a visually captivating show despite being in broad fucking daylight. Soaked with meaning and pathos. Gotta love it.

This this this. I've posted about it before but *multiple* AI slop James Gandolfini biographies appeared on Amazon in the days after GANDOLFINI was published, and any money those jagoffs made should have gone in my pocket. I did the work, I did the promo, they ripped people off.

Your quiet reminder: Anne Frank didn't die in the gas chamber. She died of typhus and lack of disease prevention, while held in detention because the Germans stripped her family of citizenship.

For @unwinnable.com's February issue of Exploits, I wrote a short piece on practical effects in The Vourdalak and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess which became a treatise of sorts on puppetry.

It’s nice to kick off a new movie year with a good movie, instead of a Dumpuary release. #PeopleWeMeetonVacation might be my favorite January movie in the last five years, and is my favorite rom-com since Palm Springs. Full review at @sunstatecineplex.bsky.social

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Also his sources are stupid as hell. If only there was a very popular book they could look to in order to see what relationship Bartholomew and Agnes have (brother and sister for the record)

I didn’t really expect him to be, but Hawley also dives way deeper down the philosophical well as the series progresses. I felt like he got the “this is how we’re different than what you’ve seen” stuff out of the way early. Episodes 3-6 are why I love the franchise (obviously can’t drop spoilers)

Violent crime is at an all-time low in D.C. the NYT acting as stenographers for the administration is shameful - this is an authoritarian crackdown on an overwhelmingly Democratic city. Accepting and amplifying the framing of the Trump admin is wildly irresponsible.

Caught up to #Noise at #Fantasia2025, and can honestly say it’s got the best jump scares since Insideous 3. A quick 90 minutes with plenty of substance in the narrative framing. My favorite of the fest so far, review coming later today.

I really dug this one because we don’t get enough goofy horror comedies. This will make an excellent triple feature with Onyx the Fortuitous and Killer Klowns
