Don’t waste time making this the focus of a news cycle, it’s an unproductive dead end. Prices. War. Corruption/Epstein. AI.

Dubble Bubble is basically a perfect product. If there’s a better bubblegum, God kept it for himself. Suggested ad slogan: Dubble Bubble: Don’t Overthink It.

Every day it’s like “Dr. Frankenstein revealed today 10 more people killed by his monster. He continues to work on and improve the monster.”

Robert Siegel is doing occasional episodes of the NYT Opinions podcast and he’s just extraordinary. The voice is comforting, obviously, but as a voice of experience and a user of words to digest these strange times he’s invaluable.

Now that the studios are collapsing, the movie industry has finally recognized what everybody has been telling it for fifteen years—that big, expensive productions are insane, because the hits don't make enough to pay for the blockbuster flops. (1970)

Now reading. The diary of the Lost Weekend months when Robbie Robertson, Martin Scorsese and Stephen Prince lived together, watching double features every night, eating take-out Italian food, shoveling cocaine into their noses and welcoming guests like Sam Fuller over.

Dear @tubitv.bsky.social. You may remove the “Skip intro” feature for FANTASY ISLAND. It won’t be needed and it certainly will not be used.

The crime anthology show POLICE STORY is now streaming on Tubi, including the seasons that aren’t on DVD, prob due to source quality. This is a hell of a show, credibly said to be based on cops’ real experiences, and with interesting stars. They’re like tough ‘70s exploitation movies only PG-rated.

It does not matter how low his polls drop. Donald Trump has no intention of leaving power voluntarily. Those who don't want to live under Trump indefinitely need a concrete plan to make sure he cannot continue to rule by force. "Vote harder" isn't a plan, it's a prayer. crimethinc.com/soundandfury

Britain gave up its superpower status to defeat Nazism. The US gave up its superpower status to grossly enrich a tasteless real estate hustler and game show host from Queens.

Not sure if I think “Art should be horny” or “Art must be horny.” Maybe somewhere in the middle.

Uh, super helpful article. Are there seriously people that haven’t heard of this yet? Maybe this is just more pervasive here in Austin but this is at least a 5 year old phenomenon among the cooler kids. Jowl implants are basically standard issue now.

Watching a Miami Vice episode. This show’s divergences from previous cop shows is interesting, but its faithfulness to the model is maybe even more so.
