At a time when billionaires would be all too happy to replace artists with AI slop, I think it's important to celebrate artists like Drew Struzan.

If you've seen a movie poster in the past 30+ years, you've seen something he did. A true master of the craft.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

my father (a retired white engineer who has been in oklahoma for 40 years) is my weathervane for what normal people who just watch the news periodically think, and he was like “so, they want to call the guard out on a bunch of kids wearing frog suits? is that true?”, the admin is losing the PR war

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

Grant & Alyssa, The Couple You Can't Believe Are Together never fails to get a laugh. Marcello Hernandez is always hilarious, and it's perfect for Jane Wickline's restrained line delivery.

What could be more symbolic than Trump's private army violently attacking Captain America. The only violence in Portland is #TrumpsViolence

I actually get why, given the current US climate, Ubisoft was not ready to pull the trigger on a Civil War era Assassins Creed game.

But speaking personally I would preorder the deluxe edition of a game that let me knife Klansmen and had a "burn your way to the sea" mini game.

MIL is 7/9th of the way to making a bullpen game work. Although with Miz (a former starter) going 4 IP, is it REALLY a bullpen game?

The actor playing the daughter who responded "We're not?" when the mom actor says they aren't their kids needs to win all the acting awards for advertising. All of them. She performed like Meryl Streep with those two words.

And a bullpen with 3-4 of them as well

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

Two seasons to build to THAT? Why do I ever trust TV shows to ever nail the ending? Judas Priest, what an absolute waste of time, money and patience. I thought this time it might happen, but no. Rarely been so disappointed in a finale. And this is it. Ain't no Season 3. #Peacemaker

I think Jackson Holliday will LB in successful challenges. It got ridiculous this year with the pitches called strikes against him.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Thank you @nytopinion.nytimes.com for publishing this rot. Marc Rowan has run hundreds of companies into the dust to extract profits from their failure and bankruptcies. Now he wants to do the same to American higher education. Do not believe a word this man says. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...
