I saw this movie exactly once and never plan to watch it again. Phenomenal horror movie. Sam Neill fucking owned it. Hated every second of my time in the theater watching it. 10/10 no notes

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Yinz should block Sally Jenkins (and follow Chris if you don’t already)

Sally Jenkins is pulling a rage-bait grift. She told you it was a rage-bait grift. And yet, so many people quote-reposted this, sharing it, and giving her exactly what she wanted. 🫣

somehow the defenses of Bari Weiss always find space to list all of her self-promotional achievements and then run out of column length before they can cite any examples of her doing worth-a-damn journalism or writing or publishing. must be a coincidence

I feel like this is a code that you’re in danger. Blink twice and we’ll call 911

It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work. Even the people that admire the success she's had selling lite reactionary shit to rich old guys top out at "people do seem to like it." You could defend Jake Paul that way.

Depends on what you’re calling about. If you select “policy issue” from the phone tree it goes to a vm (or has every time I’ve called)

Fetterman’s office doesn’t accept voicemails outside office hours and his district offices are all closed during the shutdown so maybe the people of Pennsylvania just need to become Fox News hosts to actually be able to talk to him…

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 20h

Maria Bartiromo tries to reassure Fetterman: "You know, senator, what you just said, it's really shamefully on your colleagues. You feeling isolated -- that is absolutely outrageous. You are a breath of fresh air. I know our viewers are grateful."

Take out the word “young” - it’s all dudes that thought they were punk 25 years ago and now don’t want to accept that they’re “the man” they railed against in high school

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 1d

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes should be allowed to roam the country every summer, just showing up at random ballparks every five days and announcing themselves as the starting pitcher for whichever team they desire

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "
