I remember when the Toast (z"l) told us we'd gotten Kristen Stewart all wrong--she wasn't a princess, she was John Wayne--and now the Onion AV Club is telling us Keira Knightly is Cary Grant and they're both so, so very right.

"Hitchcock Lite" is just right for brisk mystery The Woman In Cabin 10

With sleek, moody direction and an overqualified cast, The Woman In Cabin 10 achieves its modest ambitions without striving for more.

One of the drivers of monetized nostalgia in the past, was that when a remake came out kids had seen the original with the parents.

There was one tv, the parent had the remote, the kid could either watch what the parent watched or get bent.

You, as a kid, consumed the media your parents liked.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

WHAT A GOOD IDEA
LET’S TRY IT

I heard that 72.9% of antifa’s members are health care execs and if we instituted not-for-profit healthcare we’d drive antifa out of business

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 11h

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

I’ve talked about this before but every time Ask A Manager (which normally has a pretty good commentariat) posts a question that touches on Jewishness (like “my company won’t let me take off for Rosh Hashanah”) the comments are filled with people just free-associating about the time they met a Jew.

Every time Judaism becomes a national topic -- which seems to be every day -- it's like a free-for-all of gentiles confidently being publicly wrong about us.

A dirty truth about games: most of the time leadership is why a project fails or is cancelled, and even worse: those people go and start their own studios get investments because investors don't question the bro code, and the cycle continues.

Sometimes second chances aren't great
