This seems potentially newsworthy.
I have some friends that worked on it & apparently it was unfettered access to the worst people behaving badly & without filter (racist senators, Melania’s boyfriend drama, infighting, etc) so a good portion of that $40 million might just be hush money to insure the raw footage never escapes.

I'm loath to find the humor in Trump greenlighting a movie for his (alleged) sexual predator buddy, but if RUSH HOUR 4 happens a JCVD-led BLOODSPORT sequel is a mortal lock.

Ian, you're an NFL reporter. You've been to Los Angeles. Surely you've carved out the time to hit up The Apple Pan. If not, do it posthaste and repent.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Not a joke: Trump just greenlit RUSH HOUR 4. It will be directed by Brett Ratner, a pig of a human being who has been accused of sexual assault by six women. He also harassed Elliot Page and outed him. Disgusting and depressing on so many levels I don't know where to start.

I really wish comedians I love and respect would stop going on this asshole's show. I assume there are favors getting paid off, but, goddamn, burn that bridge. Maher ain't worth your soul.

I maintain that BACURAU is one of the best films of the 21st century. Also boasts a brilliant deployment of Udo Kier. No shame in starting here and working back.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Exactly this. I was deep into alternative rock, exploring '70s punk and funk, and loathed hair metal. The Beatles were as undeniable as Bach.
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
