This sort of thing reminds me of when the home crowd starts chirping the visiting goalie after a one-goal lead. Just a bit premature.
I know we’re all the heroes of our own stories, but building memorials to yourself seems like the sort of hubris Greek playwrights warned about.

As CBS News falls apart please admire this marble bust of Bari Weiss that is installed at the fake unaccredited university she co-founded with Joe Lonsdale.
Their U. of Austin is reportedly also falling apart, with faculty leaving and enrollment crashing, so we shall see where the bust ends up.

The scofflaw and disorder president.
Trump doesn’t care about laws or rules. He does what he wants. His followers think that’s great…until they find out it isn’t. Which shows how grossly unAmerican and unpatriotic all of maga is.

Trump knows only Congress has the express authority to change or alter the name of the Kennedy Center for performing arts but as usual that didn't stop the malignant narcissist from adding his name to the bldg which is being done as we speak.

Issue #1118 of Bewildering Stories is out, and with it my story “Between Wild and Home.” It’s a bit Don Bluth-esque.

I had the biggest crush on Christine “Moose” McGlade. Also, the show taught me “sucks” (as in “that sucks”) which led to my minister dad threatening to cut off cable.
I remember seeing You Can't Do That On Television as a kid and I still don't understand how any of that happened
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

I saw this for the first time when it came out on video. I rode my bike to Blockbuster and brought it home after school.
My mom saw the tape and said, “I’ve always wanted to watch that!”
So the first time I watched it, I watched it with my mom.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it.
Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?

It seems like Musk hasn’t actually read Heinlein, either. (And if he has, he certainly didn’t grok it.)
I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Even if Elon’s stupid little cartoon were true, it doesn’t follow that you abandon the spot you’re on and run way past the guy on the right.
👇🎯🧵 I wish Ezra would simply not repeat unsubstantiated lies & the far right authoritarian party’s talking points on his podcasts. His views, as articulated here, are functionally indistinguishable from those of Elon Musk. But then, this is the guy who talks now about “birth tourism” so 🤷♂️

It’s no surprise that a man who believes in nothing but his own aggrandizement can’t imagine anyone being motivated by anything other than money.
Trump: "Even that garbage deal they had this wknd, which was embarrassing to them. And the crowds were not big at all. But when you look at signs and they're all made professionally in a printing shop, some guy is paying for all that stuff ... they're going crazy because they're getting paid"

“Nuanced vision” aren’t the two words that come to mind.
This oped is actually pretty bad. Caldwell claims that “the military of the 2020s has been as overburdened by the imperatives of progressivism as schools were by the duties of racial integration in the 1970s” and that Hegseth “outlined a nuanced vision of the military’s purpose” in his speech.

It's becoming clear that this is not an administration that is popular or skilled enough to do the consolidation needed to implement actual fascism, so they've decided that constantly creating fascism-flavored content is good enough
