Feel like the two things worth adding are that the going out options we have have multiplied dramatically over the last 25 years. Like to the point where it's noticeable even in places where they were never thin. And that takes like the guardians are regressive complaints about Calaro's point.

Naomi Ackie Discusses “Hollywood Machine,” Her ‘Star Wars’ Experience and Buying a Crank Radio
Naomi Ackie (I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, Small Axe, Mickey 17, The Thursday Murder Club) stars in Boots Riley’s anti-capitalist satire I Love Boosters, part of the 70th edition of the BFI London Film Festival (LFF), which runs through Oct. 18. But on Saturday, she discussed not only her new film, which features her opposite the likes of Keke Palmer, Demi Moore, Don Cheadle and Taylour Paige, but also her broader career experiences and insights into the acting profession during an LFF Screen Talk.

So the thing about loving Rosalia but preferring anesthesia free surgery to any chud endorsement in 2026 is that I’ll be able to watch her performances by tomorrow without seeing the aforementioned chud bro and I’m not sure why programs trying to force feed us this shit think it’s still 1991. ✌🏾

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

Not so that I’ve noticed. Or at least it’s not as important to them as finding out their employees mostly disagreed with them politically and were willing to act like it during Obama term two.

Saw a Hinojosa-Paxton voter thing earlier and was reminded that the first big impressive “they really might win this thing” moment of Warnock-Ossoff’s original races was watching what an effective double act they’d put together to minimize that kind of thing.

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.
