Trump: "Please remember I wrote Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden!' ... I gotta take a little credit."

And that was 28 sold out showings per day over 3 days. Hard to beat!

Crazy, but it was a 3-day event where they essentially took over theaters for the weekend. 28 showings at our local AMC. And most showings were sold out. It will certainly bury all actual movies this weekend. Not sure we've seen anything like this before.

Knowing my love of vampires at an early age, my mom dropped me off at the movies to see this with a friend when I was 9! Needless to say, it left an impression. 😲😁

Watched it today. Definitely got the Halloween III vibe with the Diet Phantasma segment. Cheers!

I don't typically rewatch individual episodes of any series and I've watched this one multiple times. Bought the soundtrack CD and still listen to it regularly. Also, such a great episode that's integral to the season's storyline and NOT just a 1-off gimmick like most TV series musical episodes.

After attending a book signing where @rachelharrison.bsky.social interviewed author Darcy Coates, I decided to sample her work and 3 audio books later, I'm hooked! One of my new favorite authors!

Can we get someone with a backbone as the Senate Minority Leader? He needs to be replaced. He's also my senator, but unfortunately not up for reelection until 2028. 😡

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

OPEN LETTER: to Conservatives who are compiling databases of people who don’t express sadness at Kirk’s death, in order to call their employers & get them fired.

I realize they truly feel self-righteous about this. But on sheer statistics, alone, they are completely fucking delusional.

I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves.

I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct.

I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away.

www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

But on the morning of Aug. 31, as the bus made its way to the airport, A.R.M.D. worried that he would be returned to Guatemala without the opportunity to make his case in court.
Sharing his anxiety were other Guatemalan children who, like A.R.M.D., had been roused from bed in the middle of the night at their respective foster homes or care facilities. At a children's shelter in McAllen, Texas, one young.girl "was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician." Another teenager, who said that her sister was murdered in Guatemala last year, worried that she, too, would be killed if she returned. Other potential deportees cited personal histories involving family violence, sexual abuse, or human trafficking as reasons why they were afraid to return to their home country.
In theory, the law is supposed to protect unaccompanied children from being summarily whisked out of the country by the government.
