I learned this at 17, worked in a video store. The Green Mile had just been released and I overheard a mother and her maybe 12 yo son discuss it:
mom: what’s this movie about
Son: oh i heard shot it. It’s about a guy who didn’t do it and another guy believed him.
mom: Well, I don’t want to see that.

Counter point: he is insufferable there, too. It’s harder to notice, because most of the WWE broadcast crew is also awful.

Of the thousands of comics books I have read in my life, the scene where Jean comforts Jubilee regarding Ilyana’s death is one that has stayed in my brain since I read it. It ordered the concept of grief and mourning to my young brain like few things ever have.

But remember how he ended the war in Ukraine during his first day in office?

It’s 100% of the screen time. You can see her eyes in one scene with Isaacs, but she never had her face unobscured.

She has no integrity. Anyone with a shred of integrity would have refused to be nominated by a historically unpopular president to Ginsburg’s seat a month and change out from an election. But, like Gorsuch, happy to consume their ill-gotten gains. So many SCOTUS Catholics, so little guilt.

John Glover as the Riddler is beyond percect. Absolutely would have worked in live action. A trillion times superior to Jim Carrey.

We’d also stay after school with her to change out her seasonal decorations. I highly doubt my family was unique in any of this.

My mother was a catholic school first grade teacher (lower pay than public school teachers). My brothers and I would go to teacher supply stores during the summer where she’d buy her decorations and help get the classroom ready for the new school year.

My six year old got the whole dogman box set for christmas and, conservatively, has read all 13 or whatever books five times a piece, and then she learned about the catkid spin off. She genuinely consumes them faster than she eats actual food.

Oh I, as straight cis male, find it absolutely freakish and disgusting.

The steroids documentary Bigger Faster Stronger, Greg Valentino is interviewed and says how he goes out to clubs and women are disgusted by him while the men fawn over his arms. He clearly wishes it were the women, but also says he just wants the attention.

The irony is that those same Catholics would absolutely be strung up a heretics by the Evangelicals once that alliance became obsolete.

Timothy Sullivan @timsull413.bsky.social · Jul 18

The alliance is a function of conservative Catholics, like Mike Pence, who have drifted toward evangelicalism without renouncing the Church of Rome. He and that whole ilk, including a majority of SCOTUS and Barr and the rest of them are indistinguishable in most respects from the Evangelicals.

Did you test your insert prompt? I’m an academic and stalwart anti-llm guy, but i have been tempted to add in something to papers for reviewers who cant be bothered. So i tested something but wretched gpt still mentions my secret instructions despite telling it not to.

Huge variety of games and puzzles, including a ton of crosswords. Membership to support and remove ads is cheaper than NYT games, and it doesnt support that rag.

I seem to recall an insane amount of time spent on Omar after saying “it’s all about the Benjamins” in regards to AIPAC. So we know what they’d do.

I started seeing a ton of Gemini nonsense in gmail, which I ignored until an emailed I forwarded myself from work to sort out a reimbursement for travel was caught by Gemini, which offered to add the trip to calendar. The trip was two months ago. I turned it off, but of course it must linger there.

Oh and screw DoorDash forever, too. I like this NY law forcing to donors to be on the ads.

Before 2024, i had no idea who Bill Ackman was. Now i know he helped depose the Harvard president, give us Trump and now floods my mailbox and tv to try to give us Cuomo. What a streak for a formerly anonymous douchebag.
