Classic "I'm from east of Chicago" Midwest map. Possibly an "I'm from Chicago" Midwest map. We humble west of Chicago folk know better.

I'm introducing my boyfriend to The Pitt and we just watched episode 8, and he truly gasped when I told him it's only the 3rd highest rated of the season on IMDB

we have a family friend who used to be on the SD Supreme Court (I was born in Pierre), always described to me as a "republican only because even the democrats are republicans in South Dakota," and boy she's really been going through it the last few years trying to process what's happening there

my favorites of the 20s so far (alphabetical):

All of Us Strangers
Anatomy of a Fall
The Brutalist
Hamnet
Monster
One Battle After Another
Sound of Metal

One Battle After Another has been getting a lot of “best movie of the decade” talk, and I’m inclined to agree but I’m curious — what’s the competition?

"Americans are so stupid they don't even know how to speak French" yes baby girl because French n'est pas une langue nationale in the United States. Montreal is not in Indiana <3

Meanwhile, Des Moines students stage a walkout to protest their superintendent's detention www.desmoinesregister.com/picture-gall...

A crowd of teenage students walk on a brick path beneath trees. Some hold signs—one says "ICE MELTS UNDER RESISTANCE."

even the comments on this post are deranged. I don't think I can even remember the last new thing I watched that had a sex scene at all. It's possible Hamnet did, very briefly? if it did I'm sure it was exquisite and devastating

A TikTok from this film industry account was posted about how an industry survey of Gen Z media consumers found that a near supermajority of young people thought television and cinema had too much sexual content. These were the comments.
