Enough new folks here that it’s time for a pinned intro:

I like to post about David Lynch movies, Alan Moore comics, AEW, Columbo, video games that everybody finished years ago, 90s sketch comedy, and collectible screenprints.

I don’t like to talk about politics, but I seem to do it a whole lot.

Alt: a man and woman are sitting at a table with the words " oh hello " on the top - the preceding was the auto generated description and it rules (this is George St Geegland and Gil Faizon, charmed I’m sure)

deleted a post about this, because I don't want to ruin a phrase that elicited the loudest theater laugh I've had in a while

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn't need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That's because she's Al.

Just in case you’ve never seen it, CITIZEN KANE is on BBC iPlayer and you really should give it a go. In the era where multimillionaires are shitting their pants publicly on the reg because money can’t buy the love they want, it feels as relevant as ever.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

I'm mad about a lot of things (ha! ha!) but the sheer number of journalists who wrote "There are no plans to implement Project 2025" under the grounds of "well, Trump says there aren't, so..." and still have jobs is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up there

"The GOP is lying. Will it work?"

Scour this passage -- nay, scour all of Politico -- for even the slightest passing *hint* that lying is ... bad. That you shouldn't do it. That it degrades politics over time.

You will find nothing.

Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social · 6d

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.
