Not feeling vindicated per se because it is a really low bar, but I am pleased that no one I have ever voted for is in the Epstein files

not the most important thing going on right now, but ‘american express’ should be a train and ‘amtrak’ should be a credit card

I think maybe a lot of bad things could be avoided if the worlds most obvious crooks faced some sort of punishment other than “accumulating great sums of money and power”

Whenever Meta or Amazon or Telsa/X/GrokNCP lays off 1,000 people, it’s worth remembering that the CEOs of those company could buy each of those now-jobless workers a house without any notable change to their net worth.

The DS9 writers room presumably had a big dry erase board for story ideas but someone accidentally wrote “Torture Chief O’Brien?” in permanent marker

Oh no, Odo is trapped in the turbo lift and needs to get back to his bucket! Such high stakes for the guy who goo’d his way into a closed airlock, like, two episodes ago!

From a tv production standpoint, all the talk of decisions being made by senior management on Saturday and Sunday has been so weird. That episode was delivered by 5pm EST Friday.
Remember when I said Weiss was stupid and incompetent? Stuff like this. An actual television producer would understand this stuff - if not the exact schedule and procedures for how the episode was distributed, at least who they could ask who would know.
It’s actually not technically a leak. CBS News only operates in the US. A non-PSKY owned network Global TV has Canadian rights for 60 Minutes and aired it unedited since the call to pull the episode was made so late in the day. That broadcast was recorded and then shared across the internet.

I’m convinced that Disney has a Phantom of the Opera-esque character stalking their studio; except instead of demanding that they stage his operas on pain of death, he insists that they keep making Tron stuff

please convince your friends and loved ones to stop saying “it cannot be understated” when they mean “it cannot be overstated;” we can still nip the next “I could care less” in the bud if we work together.

Homeless people are not more likely to be drug addicts, it just used to be possible to afford both a home and a drug addiction.

Spitting in the face of the rich White American tradition of completely ignoring your neighbors.
The best neighbors I ever had spoke limited English, and frequently brought us, unprompted, some delicious Mexican or Vietnamese food. There’d be a knock at the door, and boom!, dinner.

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do
