Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

as both a colleague of PTA and Mr Movies Tom Cruise must have seen One Battle After Another by now, in which case we should be asking why we haven't yet seen a video of him saying 'like Tom fucking Cruise'

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

an important thing to know about me is that I think Halsey accidentally wishing a second 9/11 on Pitchfork because of a 6.5 review is one of the funniest things to happen in the last five years

Halsey Is Very Sorry for Accidentally Calling for Another 9/11

She didn’t mean it.

I maintain an Amazon wishlist so I have an easy way to let my family know what I'm interested in around Christmas and birthdays but this decade have only ordered from there when I've been given a gift card, it's remarkably easy to not use it

Millard Fillmore's porcelain zither @agraybee
Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses."

on the OBAA rewatch last night I also thought I caught some Stephen Miller in Penn's mannerisms, how did they manage to make him look like every gross white guy political figure at once

chris @yrpalchris.bsky.social · 10d

they couldn't possibly have planned for this but unavoidable physical similarities between Penn here and RFK

Just seen a headline which asks "Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge?"

It's because she was a massive bastard. Hope that helps x
