Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

It’s a shame the Oblivion remaster didn’t lean into the colors of the original. The Riven remake really shows how it can be done. It just received an update for RT reflections even, which is awesome.

With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

Not unrelated: The entire concept of a personal "carbon footprint" was invented by an ad firm working for BP because they wanted to shift blame away from big oil.

At this point it is becoming a struggle to argue what be worse if the ALP loses the next election.
Albanese couldn't find a purpose for governing with google maps.
If it wasn't for the memories of Rudd-Gillard, they'd be working the numbers on him.

This is a coverup of the real reason we skipped a decennial census and ended up with the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929: In 1920, urban populations finally overtook rural ones, and they capped it to preserve power for white non-urban Protestants.
Interesting side note, the number of representatives in the house used to increase with population. But around 435 they ran out of chairs. So is not to have to build a bigger house Chambers, they capped it.
How The House Got Stuck At 435 Seats

This is a good example of how a lot of people who cover politics actually know absolutely nothing about policy. It’s how they all ended up writing the gop platform is moderate on abortion rights when it calls them unconstitutional bsky.app/profile/cing...

Egypt giving Trump a $10 million bribe was probably a one-day story because they needed to put reporters on important stuff like this.
Regret to inform you that CNN is covering the Walz Swiftboating as something “we’ll keep looking into.”
