A few years ago, in what may have been my last enjoyable interaction on Twitter, I asked for movie recommendations. And yall brought the HEAT.

Let's do it here!

What are some all-time movies that haven't won big awards and aren't super well known that I need to watch?
Keeping inflation around 2% and ensuring profit-driven orgs don't gouge citizens on big ticket essentials like healthcare, education, housing and childcare is a fucking given. A core duty of Congress. And you've been there all this time. Fix it, obviously. But the splintering republic is more urgent
I am just a simple small-town lawyer but I really can’t think of a more toxic and self-defeating political strategy than telling your constituents the things they care about are “a distraction.”

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

These arrogant, offensive pricks are destroying everything the US has purported to stand for over the past 80 years
When U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was asked how concerned he is about European investors pulling out of treasuries, Bessent said at a press conference at the World Economic Forum: “Denmark’s investment in U.S. Treasury bonds, like Denmark itself, is irrelevant.” cnb.cx/45I3MGb

Perhaps Trump going full eugenics for a second straight day will cause the media to realize they need to make it a headline.
Trump: "Somalia -- they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. I always say, 'These are low IQ people.' How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?"

Flight-tracking nerds are on the frontlines of our nation's battle of Maybe Being Excited Over Something. Whether it's a dead president or MLB signing or Taylor Swift up to some bullshit, we can all briefly look at "line on map go bloop" and, just for a brief moment, Feel Something.

Here's how WaPo and the Times
handled this.

The Times didn't mention the anti-Somali racism. WaPo simply said Trump "revealed his thoughts about Somalia."

WaPo cited Trump praising Hell's Angels without noting he did it while attacking "vicious people" from "the Congo."

An alternate universe

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years
there are a bunch of big names on this list, including multiple beard award winners, and some places i never would have guessed in a hundred years (the malt shop?!) and i'm genuinely floored and delighted to see so many participants

Instagram cooks juicing their crunch bite sound audio to comical levels, it both makes me squirm cause it's gross and makes me furious at the deception. Germany needs to invent a word for all this.
