When Trump said "they're not sending their best" what actually he meant was Republican politicians from slave states.

RE: NY Times TV list, it's interesting to see which shows were punished for falling off creatively in their later seasons (COMMUNITY, THE BEAR, TED LASSO, DEXTER) vs. those where that seemingly wasn't held against other equally egregious examples (US OFFICE, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, GIRLS, LOST).

Related: it's not some miraculous coincidence that everyone my age thinks music was *so* much better when we were in high school/college. The art didn't change, you did. Make your peace with it, circle of life, etc.

Inspired by recent Gen X carping about the state of film: things aren't "worse" than they were 20-30 years ago. You're just getting older. As you begin to contemplate your death you crave the comfort of the familiar & romanticize the art of your youth. You're not unique; every generation does this.

I'm sure the schedule will release any day now but it's odd to me that I'm supposed to select my AFI-Fest tickets in 1 week and I still have no idea what's even playing the festival. This is me mostly trying to will the lineup to drop before the weekend.

This dummy falls for literally everything that comes across her red-pilled social media feed. She’s like a Facebook wine aunt posting conspiracy theories 10 hours a day. Instead of being disinvited from Thanksgiving she was disinvited from the Telluride Patrons Brunch (also, probably Thanksgiving).

Apropos of today's shit sandwich, here are all the films Paramount has released or will release in 2026 (some of these are international only or streaming titles). It's a good thing the Ellison braintrust is now overseeing roughly 40% of the industry.

I don't expect the record to hold for very long but someone someday is going to win pub trivia for even remembering the name of the director of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, the (current) highest grossing domestic release of all time.

We need to assume Fetterman is salivating (although it doesn't take much to make the man drool these days) at the idea of every Democratic senator having to suck up to him for the next 2 years lest he tank the entire party's plans to govern. It's a 52 seat majority or bust, unfortunately.

Old enough to remember when this sort of provable lie effectively ended the career of the dude from "The League" but he had a super important job telling dick jokes on a cable sitcom about fantasy football so I can see why this senior citizen with his finger on the nuclear button will get a pass.

This dummy took a flamethrower to her career. She couldn't understand why Fox wouldn't want to broadcast more unsubstantiated claims about the company they just paid $787M to so she tattled to daddy Trump. It's fine, lots of on camera jobs out there for 60 year old women who undermine their bosses.

I've been reliably informed that Moulton is, in fact, Gen X and not a Millennial. Regardless: sucks to suck.

Jared Golden has sucked ass for a long time and even the knowledge that he's likely to be replaced in Congress by Paul LePage, who's almost cartoonishly racist, doesn't change the fact that I will not miss him when he's gone.

Kavanaugh believes a movie about the invention of Bitcoin starring Casey Affleck, Gal Godot and Isla Fisher would have cost $270 million if they weren't using AI "to fill in the production design and lighting." I have no further questions as to how Relativity Media went bankrupt.

Sophie Cunningham is the avatar for conservative fandom even though she's a bench player who's averaged 8 point a game over her career. No titles (college or pro), no ASG selections. It's almost as if they care more about her being pretty, white and straight than excellence in women's sports...

On the one hand, I would find this personally annoying as I only just learned the “HOMES” mnemonic a couple years ago and I hate learning new tricks. On the other hand, “SHAME” would also work and, as an American, it’s a sentiment that’s always top of mind.

I don't understand the segment of people online who get big mad at Sean for using his clout to curate things that align with their interests. The subtext is almost always "you're not cool enough to have made this incredibly cool thing happen. Now more people I deem uncool will get into it as well."
