I can’t believe it didn’t even occur to me that men would use AI to make photos & videos like this. I know it’s not real but it’s somehow still violating & nauseating to imagine some creeper making realistic-looking photos of me kissing them (or otherwise). Get me off this fucking planet.
This would be a dream come true

J.J. Watt’s biggest broadcast to date drew plenty of critics, but Dan Patrick wasn’t one of them. Appearing on The Dan Patrick Show this week, the NFL on CBS analyst was greeted with a compliment from the host, who said Watt had matched the noise and energy of the crowd during Sunday’s Cowboys-Ravens game in…

Digger is one of 2026's bigger disappointments. Like Don't Look Up, it’s a heavy-handed, unfunny satire about climate change. I liked only two things: the visuals and set design, and Jesse Plemons. Jesse Plemons was excellent.

Bryan Curtis thinks Charles Barkley is faking retirement again: ‘He’ll be back’
Charles Barkley already announced this will be his last year on Inside the NBA, but he might not get a farewell tour, because nobody believes he’s retiring. Last month on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Barkley claimed this was going to be Ernie Johnson’s last season on Inside the NBA. And if it was going to…

The first 20 minutes of Verity are utterly ridiculous, and it only gets more absurd. That said, it's a serviceable thriller if you don't focus too much on the plot.

Never saw the original. Practical Magic 2 is mostly unremarkable and sluggish. Plus, this film needed an editor because it's at least 20 minutes too long.
