Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Google shows an interesting ticker on top of the search results for Pluribus.

Friendsgiving would actually be a lot more fun if it meant you can give away friends you don't really like anymore.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale from Cleveland, OH. I look forward to this beer every year.

Watched some Pluribus "explainers" and episode recaps today and my reaction to those is always a mix of "Nah, you're reading way too much into that" and "I can't believe I missed that when watching!"

It's almost 2026 and Apple tv+ won't let me have a profile in their app without setting up an Apple account. I'm surprised they didn't ask for a proprietary cable...

All Her Fault had a great start, but its drive is kind of collapsing mid-way. Now on episode 7 and I'll definitely finish it and would recommend watching the show, but I really hope the ending is a stunning twist to make the second half of the series worth it.

if you’ve never seen Interview with the Vampire, it ends with the vampire being told he’s made it through to a second interview

Finally watched The Substance, now that it's on HBO Max. Grotesque, but very well executed. Visually superb.

I didn't mind that Tame Impala shifted more to dance music over the years, but Deadbeat sounds kind of bland on first listen. Uninspired.

Someone please make a Cracker Barrel logo with Bad Bunny instead of the old man.

Rochelle Jordan's new album is pretty good. The rest is more uptempo than this, but I like this song.

People who don't use punctuation in their posts probably also don't use their blinker while driving.

But on the plus side, if you watch a movie with them that they've already seen, they probably won't tell you what happens next.

The cheering a bit later is embarrassing though.
Trump tries to goad the Navy into booing "Barack Hussein Obama" but is met mostly with silence

Red Hearted IPA is actually a pretty nice Fall Beer. This is from the variety pack, but they should release it as its own six-pack.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

There is no longer room in America to be "apolitical."

We can no longer assume that the rest of the nation operates in its best interests and will carry American democracy across the finish line for us.

Every person who cares about living in a free society must mobilize their passion and power.
