Remembering Daniel Craig answering that question from the kid in Road to Perdition - "Why are you always smiling?" "'Cause it's all so fucking hilarious."

Horror Movie Rewatch Challenge: John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness." It has 14 characters that get screentime. Name one that you cared about enough to be upset if they lived or died.

The thing that really hit home for me with the Season 4 Finale for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is just how much the crew of the Enterprise - other than Spock - must have grown to despise Christopher Pike in a very short period of time.

Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

If I was a Democratic candidate and some fucking crypto oligarchs were running ads against me, I think my response would be an ad where senior citizens' open up their wallets and purses and dust falls out. I would strongly imply that the Crypto Bros were trying to make their money worthless.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.
