They gotta get Tim Robinson to play Stephen Miller on SNL - just imagine coffin flop but it’s Stephen Miller. Perfect casting

Honestly the last third is the only part worth watching. It’s totally wild after a major snooze fest

I can't tell you how much I hate shit - people don't owe you, or anyone, a goddamn thing.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

This was the moment. This was the life event that made Snoopy swear he’d never be anything less than the coolest guy in the room ever again.

Got really excited for a second that you were watching the 1969 Michael Caine WWII movie Play Dirty - which rocks - but definitely doesn’t have Mark Cuban in it.

All these kids today talking about Quasimodo - back when I was a kid, we had ACTUAL modo.

Clay McCormack @cmccormack414.bsky.social · 9d

I will say, that performance is captivating

Clay McCormack @cmccormack414.bsky.social · 10d

I don't know - if they're talking about it I haven't seen it. I tend to miss big chunks of stuff on there

I’m starting to understand why Skynet made the decision did.

So let me get this straight: the guy that DMed war plans to a group chat with random people gathered all the generals in one room to lecture them? THAT GUY?!

In Unhinged Speech, Pete Hegseth Says He's Tired of ‘Fat Troops,’ Says Military Needs to Go Full AI

The Secretary of War lectured America’s generals on fitness standards, bears, and warriors for an hour.

I really liked The Long Walk - all the actors were fantastic, and it has the feeling (the ups and the unavoidable downs) of a Vietnam war movie without the actual war. Good stuff
