Finished my Best in Show rewatch. Not a bad scene or wasted moment in the whole movie. Incredible cast. Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy have ridiculous chemistry.

NPR discovers “ope”
npr.org NPR @npr.org · 22h
Some use the word to apologize or point out something noteworthy. It's become a social media obsession among Michiganders, Wisconsinites, and Minnesotans alike.
Where does "ope" come from?
If you live in Michigan, it's very likely you’ve heard someone use the word “ope” more than once. But why do we say it and where does it come from?

This absolutely sucks but my timeline is now much less Trump and much more Catherine O’Hara.

Catherine O’Hara’s injured walk as Cookie Fleck is one of the funniest damn things in movie history.

If a news outlet doesn't condemn the Trump Administration for arresting Don Lemon and other journalists, I'm just gonna assume they're fine with it. Because you KNOW they'd be lining up like that scene in Airplane! to attack a President Harris if she so much as criticized someone at Fox News.

In light of another errant round of “Trump Pivot” stories, please take a moment to pay proper respect to the GOAT of the genre.

They love The Trump Show.
The headlines of top 6 stories currently on the NY Times homepage:
“Trump expected to announce”
“Can Trump Really Give”
“Trump Sues…Demands”
“Trump Threatens”
“Trump Weighs”
“Trump Confronts”
Good example of the media reinforcing what @donmoyn.bsky.social calls the “personalist presidency.”

I found something I’d want to watch less than the Melania doc.

If you're in line to see Melanie...you're probably in the wrong line. You're the only one who bought a ticket and there's no wait. Just walk right in and pick a seat.

Wow. This changes everything. He definitely deserved to be executed extrajudicially.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

I like the idea that Amazon actually gives a shit about recouping its spending via Melania. They'll recoup it in other ways - that's how bribes usually work.
