We are entering a phase when it will be very important to not hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are."

Bold move for Peacock to cancel the only show anybody watches on Peacock.
This is...wild.
Poker Face with Natasha Lyonne is done on Peacock but Rian Johnson is shopping an immediate reboot with Peter Dinklage.

Incredibly conspicuous that a bunch of media folks on here are tripping over themselves to downplay the significance of NYT choosing not to publish the Epstein stuff back in 2015 and then sitting on it for a decade.

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

I was already convinced Epistein was murdered, but I didn't expect "NYT to cover for Trump" to be on the list.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Brilliant storytelling is when the Incredibles shout plot at you through the speakers on a roller coaster.
This pretty much sums up why Disney Parks are being ripped up to shove up random franchises in every corner. Just a stunning lack of awareness of what makes these things special, why they work.
Sometimes, most of the time, it ain't about storytelling.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Arrived two hours early for tonight’s American Cinematheque’s Frankenstein screening and Q&A with Guillermo del Toro and still didn’t make it in. By the time they called it and said no one else would be getting in, there was still probably a couple hundred people in line.

Made a point to take my time and really savor the new volume of STAR WARS: VISIONS. This whole run is great, but out of all of them, I hope someone showed “BLACK” to George Lucas.

There’s a sense in which this is probably true of all the major branches of government, but it really feels like the Supreme Court has broken so bad at this point that the only reasonable solution is completely disbanding it and starting over from scratch.
