It's the way that one minute, there is water; and the next, there is a gaping maw jammed full of blades sharp enough to make CutCo look like they're selling butter knives. From nothing comes death. All you'll find in the ocean is teeth and hunger.

There is truly nothing more frightening than the ocean. Look, I've got nothin' on any of nature's apex predators, but I *think* I have a decent shot of surviving run-ins with bears or cougars. If I'm in the water and a shark decides on Italian-American for dinner, I'm fucked.

I like the year’s other notable shark films (HOT SPRING SHARK ATTACK, DANGEROUS ANIMALS) quite well; my feelings for BEAST OF WAR, on the other hand, are a smidge more effusive. Mechanical shark! It’s terrifying!

This Is the Scariest Movie Shark of the Year

Don’t watch “Beast of War” if you have plans for a beach vacation.

Very close on a DNA level to that recent piece contextualizing Taylor You Know Who’s fight for her masters as a contemporary thing, with Prince coming up as an aside; this is why we need culture and media literacy.

Author had it coming, I think, and you don’t need to feel bad; he wrote a bad thing and he should feel bad about it instead.

Corollary to this: the folks who think we actually deep down inside long to use AI? They would TOTALLY drink the piss.

She’s just so *natural*. There is a casual ease to her every line read and gesture in almost every single one of her performances. She was born for the big screen.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, even though I detect a whiff of personal experience from his Tweet

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

hard same on both counts, Kevin, but from what I can decipher, it appears Dinesh is admitting that he watches farmers fuck their sheep

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.
