I don't know if this is all that hot a take, but I think baseball movies are way better than football movies, on average.

The rivalry between the Washington Post and the New York Times has been a low bar to clear lately, but damned if the Bezos Post doesn't seem bound and determined to get clobbered in the face by it.

It's a little messed up when we're simultaneously trying to deport people to Somalia and actively bombing Somalia, right?

So on the one hand, Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman are in the Epstein files. On the other, it's because Epstein got a Kickstarter e-mail telling him she was crowdfunding an album.
So, a wash.

FYI:
Matt Damon doesn't "look Greek."
Neither does Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, or Robert Pattinson.
None of them look even a little bit ethnically Greek, and no effort has been made to make them.
People are using "looking Greek" as a stand-in for "white" because they know how that would sound.

In hindsight, I think the exhaustive lexicon of wizard slurs in Harry Potter should have been a red flag.

The reason that Trump superPAC donation e-mail where they threaten to deport you if you don't donate plays well with their crowd is because they're only reaching out to white people. It only reads as "humor" because it's being sent to people who assume they aren't ever the targets of state violence.

"Man who was held down and shot by ICE had the shit beaten out of him by ICE a week earlier" is not the exoneration you think it is.

Seeing the head of CBS News declare that they're going to release all of their reporting online on a blog first really kinda defies belief.
Bari Weiss is going to take the home of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite and turn it into a glorified Substack because that's all she knows how to run.

So you don't under any circumstances "gotta hand it to" Susie Wiles, but I'm kind of enjoying this thing currently going on where she just doesn't invite Stephen Miller to things he is ostensibly in charge of, like taking Noem out behind the woodshed.

Sure looks like they're doing upgrade sprues and characters for the Chaos Undivided factions.
So I think we can all agree this is probably Solomon Akurra, right?

I can understand making your own grimdark game because something about Warhammer is not scratching that itch for you. Stuff like Trench Crusade is wildly creative and gorgeous, and I certainly think there's room for that.

Okay I'll admit, they identified "Big Beefy Doofus in Pink Shirt" as core traits of Prince Adam, and that's kind of working for me.

I wanna point out that the current interpretation of the rules is what allowed conservative talk radio to flourish. Brendan Carr is gonna end up tearing down the foundations of conservative media because Trump gets mad at late night hosts.
FCC takes aim at talk shows in fight over 'equal time' rules for politicians

At this point I assume the UK is just high-fiving each other over the fact that another country is screwing up more loudly and visibly than they currently are. I can see the appeal.

So I guess where we're at right now is that in retaliation for Trump's threats against Norway (that he put on official White House letterhead) getting leaked, Trump is now leaking all the personal texts from European leaders asking him if he's lost his mind with the Greenland thing.
