BACURAU is maybe my favorite movie of the 2020s. Udo is equal parts terrifying and charismatic, and he has a scene with Sonia Braga that burns through the fucking screen

‘Rush Hour 4’ is officially in the works.
This comes after Donald Trump personally requested Paramount to revive the franchise.

the bittersweet feeling of learning that a grad school friend died but connecting with other friends you haven’t talked to in years. RIP David, you would’ve loved that we were all texting each other about you today

when I tell people not from around here that I live in one of the reddest states and work in one of the bluest, they look at me like I’m insane. people who know the area are like, of course, moscow is miles better than pullman. all politics is local etc etc
I hope all the libs who say "just move out of your red state if you hate living under tyranny" realize that you sound as idiotic as Bessent here
Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

this is the most dangerous group imo, they have A LOT of institutional support and claim to be speaking for "ethics"

I had to reach back into some disgusting college dorm conversations and those are memories best left undisturbed
took about ten minutes for my uncaffeinated brain to remember felching is NOT the term for that urban legend involving small rodents and let me tell you that's not any way to start a day

one thing I will never do is set traps to catch students cheating because I am a teacher not a cop
Since this article and its perspectives are generating a bit of buzz, I'd like to dig into what I find distasteful and, frankly, disingenous about it, particularly the ethical values it proclaims. 1/8

two episodes into Pluribus and it’s a little too premisey for my taste but Rhea Seehorn has plenty of credit in my bank
also two eps into DBL and Offerman shouting “music! fighting! … sausages!” will be front of my mind for awhile

To do my part re: “talking TV on bluesky”
PLURIBUS is excellent so far. Don’t know how long this premise can work, but it’s working really well right now.
DEATH BY LIGHTNING was fun, but I bumped against the anachronistic language a bit. Might just be a me thing, though.

(That was a truly excellent Pilot and it’s been a while since we had a big fun mystery show to speculate about collectively so I hope this show becomes a big hit and people talk about it)

I will ghostwrite your book for $250K, get in those dms people
Fetterman received a $750,000 advance for this with another $300-400,000 going to the actual writer.
"The Barnes and Noble in York—where Fetterman was born and raised—had sold zero copies. The Barnes and Noble in Philadelphia had sold two copies. An independent store in Pittsburgh and an independent store in Philadelphia each told me they weren’t stocking Unfettered" defector.com/john-fetterm...

so this is easy mode if you are a reporter with a mic. ask every republican moc, "do you support president trump's calls for execution of your fellow members of congress?"
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

one of the few albums I return to again and again. wall to wall bangers. RIP mani.
Can’t believe Mani died. Was listening to the Stone Roses a few weeks ago, and I never get tired of “I Wanna Be Adored.” That opening is cinema, desperation and optimism all rolled into one. youtu.be/kmAZWKdCvmI?...
