To all those people selling their Marty Supreme DVD screeners on eBay for $300 (and similar amounts). Fuck you. It’s literally only just in theaters. The film industry is collapsing and you’re doing this? What an absolute abuse of your privilege. Fuck you. #MartySupreme

It’s like Michael Caine talking down to Steve Martin in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Ben Shapiro: "Today I want to talk about something even more important — how to discern those attempting to speak truth from frauds and grifters…The conservative movement is in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle but actually traffic in conspiracy and dishonesty."

It’s crazy that the number of people who are a lot like Annie Wilkes has exponentially increased since Misery came out, rather than, you know, going down.
Only in America do cautionary tales inspire people to become the thing being cautioned against.

Stephen Miller is on Fox calling for everyone involved in the CBS “revolt” to be fired.
“The revolt” is called journalism.
They were doing their job.
The person who should be fired is Bari Weiss, who tried to censor and kill a well researched story that the American people had a right to see.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Civil servants have now missed two paychecks and are starting to rely on local food banks.
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

They don't think they're public servants.
They think they're kings, princes, dukes, and barons. They control the government, and that makes them royalty, and that means our money should be used to buy them planes and gold-plated toys and gilded ballrooms

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

Donald Trump has said that the growing immigration crackdown should include carveouts for the hospitality industry, which conveniently allows his companies to continue hiring foreign workers without fear of raids. The hypocrisy seems pretty stark.
