A quick glance at the clips of Big Man’s speech and as usual, there‘s only one clear conclusion.

Shot from Apocalypse Now. Caption reads, “and very obviously he has gone insane.”

Today's front page of the New York Times is about people struggling to feed themselves and their families after Trump's cuts to food stamps.

Fair point. Still don’t get why he did that. Then again, if you think about Tenet for more than a few seconds you end up looking like this.

A lying liar who lies professionally on CNN surely wouldn't lie about carrying on an in-depth 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell now, would he?

A tweet from Scott Jennings that reads, "I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible."

Happy Return of the Living Dead Day to all who celebrate! Easily one of the best films set in my former hometown of Louisville, KY.

A stone and glass building. A large billboard sits atop the building reading, "UNEEDA MEDICAL SUPPLY." The caption reads, "JULY 3, 1984 5:30 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time."

It's a shot from the movie Return of the Living Dead.

Are we sure he's not going to Mt. Rushmore to meet with his handlers inside that house on top of the mountain?

Nothing screams Freedom like Trump deploying the National Guard to the Reflecting Pool and ordering people to stop touching it.

Are you a cinephile who collects physical media? Criterion is gonna take all your money this fall.

Family texts can get wild, y’all. Dad sent this to everyone—mom, my brother, my sister-in-law, my wife, and me. All of us. No context. Flabbergasted.

A text from my dad that reads: “Still worth it that’s a great question if you want to pee and actually looks good after that concrete coating my opinion is one of the highest value upgrades you can make and right now is a great time to get a concrete coating because ninja is actually offering 60% off the installation for 60 interest interest financing don’t worry”

In a way, it gets worse the deeper you dig. Look at what they featured for an AAPI-themed section.

Paramount Plus celebrates AAPI stories by showing mostly white performers and a lizard.

Here's what Paramount Plus on my iPad served me for Star Trek: Insurrection. At least it's a shot from the movie, but WTAF. THIS?!? Why not show us Worf with a pimple or Data caressing Riker's beardless face?

I just checked Paramount Plus on my laptop. I don't have that image for Star Trek II, but they did make some rather unusual choices.

Y'all, I just got the WILDEST YouTube preroll ad I've ever seen. It's an AI "rabbi" hocking "ancient Jewish secrets" to preventing type 2 diabetes. He has a copy of the Holy Bible on the table and while hard to see, there's a crucifix in front of the bible. Like, what the actual fuck?

An AI "rabbi" stands in a kitchen. An assortment of jars in front of him, alongside a copy of the Holy Bible and a crucifix. Yes, you read that correctly.

Sorry, John. You missed the audition to play Ed Harris's role in The Truman Show by like 20 years.

From my mom. A gas station in Alabama. Republicans can rig maps and bring Jim Crow roaring back, but voters are mad as hell. Mad as hell at a rigged economy and rigged politics.
