Entirely possible that Man U losing 0-1 at home to Everton with Everton down to ten men for most of the game might be a worse performance than anything from last season, or even that loss to Mushy Peas United or whoever it was in the League Cup this year

Good trouble, a young lady starts reading some Charlie Kirk’s quotes to MAGA Congressmen who had his pictures outside of their office.
“I saw you guys had a Charlie Kirk picture outside so I thought I’d read you some of his quotes ….”

Ballot #1 in the 2026 Hall of Fame voting cycle is from Jorge Morejón. Andruw Jones receives the first net gained vote of the cycle. Jones finished last year 8.8% shy of election. Morejón's column: www.martinoticias.com/a/opini%C3%B...

I'm listening to the 1979 live discs of the Who Are You box sets, and the best thing I can say about them is that Kenney Jones doesn't desecrate the songs. He's a perfectly good drummer with not much flair, and that's no crime

I dunno, I think films can be enriched or degraded by their companion films (The Godfathers, the Fast movies, Bride of Frankenstein etc.) and that can play into your evaluation. Maybe I'm wrong or misreading the point bsky.app/profile/jame...
yes i have seen ANDOR, no it does not “make it better” because any given film should be evaluated on its own as a standalone text.

I was talking to a friend IRL this weekend about how the Nuzzi stuff, gross as it is, warranted public attention because one of the people at its center is destroying the lives of American children, but if there was ever going to be a bottom of that well, I do believe we've found it

the last jedi is the best star wars film because i do not care about star wars at all and when stuff explodes in the last jedi it looks way cooler than it does in any other star wars movie, thank you for your time

Since Star Wars discourse is back on the menu, boys, I'll say that Rise of Skywalker and the mediocre TV so crushed my Star Wars love, going on 25-odd years at that point, that I still haven't gotten around to Andor yet. I probably will, just, y'know

I actually laughed out loud when I saw the photo of the woman Trump appointed to do this. If you are “1987 hot” that man will let you do ANYTHING.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?
