Finger got too fat for my wedding ring.

I watched Night School (1981) the other night, a slasher I'd never seen. And the way that movie is maybe the most baffling choice I've ever seen a movie make.

I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One is my prime "it's a little chilly and the sun is nowhere to be seen" album.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

Seeing a promising, young candidate who appeals to voters outside the normal bloc of Dem voters in Maine and reacting by recruiting a very old, moderate, mainstream Dem to run against him in the primary is like the platonic ideal of current Democratic leadership decision making.

Mmm yup. Weather change a-comin’. Soon it’s gonna be time to listen to Yo La Tengo, I reckon.

One of the most insane things that centrist pundits seem to believe is that normal people don’t care about the genocide in Palestine, they just say they’re against it because “it’s popular.”

Perhaps the biggest example of shitty people telling on themselves in recent memory.

The real story here is not about how scared individual cops are (they're almost certainly exaggerating), but about the fact police depts in the US openly intervene in partisan politics, and decline to obey reform-minded politicians. We effectively have no democratic oversight of police in the US.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Watching conservative idiots complain about the Portland frog as if he is an incredibly dangerous national threat is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

It’s funny that Trump wanted the Nobel peace prize so bad and didn’t get it but also it sucks that the person who did get it is a right wing politician who loves Donald Trump.

while the similarities to a Musk "fork in the road" missive are unmistakeable maybe Bari's memo is just a sincere attempt to learn what journalists do

I'm watching it (also 2 eps behind) and was wondering the same thing.

I suspect that, perhaps, Amazon toned down the promotion for it after Kirk due to some of the content in it.

After I've watched film or TV that has given me something to think about (positive or negative as it may be), I like to read reviews to see how other people agree or disagree with me. Probably not good that if you do this for TV shows 99% of search results are now "recap", not "review".

Also Gingrich and Buchanan. You just do not get the current GOP as it currently is without them, and it's baffling seeing people pretend that this crisis (which it is) just came out of left field with no direct forebears.
