I may not agree with what you say. But I will defend to the death my right to make fun of you for saying it.
It would be so hard to lose a child, imagine knowing it was 100% your fault.
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Since we’re talking about RUSH HOUR 4, I have done the research and confirmed that there was indeed a RUSH HOUR 3.

Every interview clip I’ve seen of Cynthia Erivo makes me think she’s genuinely insane.

I bet 75% of Americans have no idea that "war with Venezuela" is even a possibility right now. It would sound like Mad Libs to them.

Apparently the fans in Cincinnati were chanting "F*** the Mormons" at the game against BYU on Saturday. This is obviously rude and classless and altogether what I expect from benighted corn-fed Midwestern rubes. But it made me think of this, so maybe it's ok:

Brady Corbet's movie will be so dirty they'll have to bring back a rating that hasn't been used in 35 years. The smut will be so powerful that the NC-17 won't be sufficient, the MPA will revert to being the MPAA and revive the X. Hammer pants will also be back in style.
Brady Corbet’s next film will be X-rated, shot entirely on 70mm, and span three centuries.

I don't need mac & cheese at Thanksgiving. Potatoes, stuffing, rolls, you have enough carbs already. It wasn't part of our big family Thanksgivings growing up and I've just never seen a need to incorporate it. I can only eat so much.

I just watched THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL (1985) and I'm 40 years late to this, but Geraldine Page is fantastic as this slightly dotty old lady tryna get back to her hometown. (She won the Oscar, which is why it was on my watchlist.) It's a really great performance, warm and theatrical in the right way.

I remembered something else in AIRPLANE! that I was surprised my Gen Z friends knew about: Tupperware parties. Did those not go away as long ago as I thought? I swear I haven't heard of anyone having a Tupperware party since I was a kid in the '80s (not that they were inviting me to them anyway).

It's good that it's only 30%, but keep in mind you'd get the same results if you worded the question, "Do you support an unnamed thing that Trump supports?"

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

"I don't know what that word means" is something smart people say. They know that not knowing a word doesn't negate their smartness.
Refusing to admit you don't know something is what stupid people do because they're afraid people will realize they're stupid.

I don't know why it took me so long to encounter a Mormon boy whose first name is Romney, nor why the thought repels me so much, but here we are.

Rewatched SPIRITED (the Will Ferrell/Ryan Reynolds Scrooge musical) with some of the niecephews, who had already seen it too. What a delight that movie is! And the songs rhyme! I like it when songs rhyme. Rhyming used to be a requirement, but hardly anything on the radio rhymes anymore.

If MAGA needs a new slur for Mamdani now that he's charmed Trump, they can have "rizzlamic terrorist" for free.
Truth Social users are not happy with Trump on this one.
