NEW VIDEO: Movies have shaped the legend (and notoriety) of Japan's infamous Yakuza gangs.Though the cinematic yakuza had a long meandering history that goes back further than you think, even before film ever reached the shores of Japan...

Thought Tim Blake Nelson was just going to be an episode 1 cameo but I LOVE what they end up doing with hi.

It's Fuck the Yankees all year, every year. But after they flew their flags half mast for a hate monger and then played host to America's totalitarian dictator?

Yeah, I'll grin extra big watching those cops and opps get bodied this postseason.

Go Jays.

The best thing EA ever did was partner with Nintendo on the GameCube port of SSX On Tour so that you can watch Luigi snowboard to Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold

Bad Bunny is American. He’s also wrestled in 3 WWE pay-per-view matches, appeared in an Adam Sandler movie, and dated a Kardashian. Culturally, he’s like the most American guy we’ve got.

An AI representation of the President promises his chronically/terminally ill followers a nonexistent miracle technological while simultaneously cutting the actual medical support system from under them. Love living in the premise of a grimdark cyberpunk dystopia novel.

NEW: I wrote about the “medbed” video Trump shared on TruthSocial, and about all the other extremely wild health claims that find an unusually receptive audience there. I also spoke with a medbed fan whose hope in the technology has been renewed because of Trump. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

How TruthSocial’s bogus medical claims fool Trump fans

It's not just "medbeds."

I'm so grateful for YouTube's Live Chat replay system because I can see the exact moment when a bunch of people are exposed to @jonbois.bsky.social's Madden humunculus for the first time

I used to think the reason why I'm largely immune to childhood nostalgia was that I had a pretty mediocre upbringing...but then I see people of my generation (in their 30s) getting wistful over the most banal Bush era shit and think "Wow, you *really* have nothing going for you right now"

What happened to that "Hollywood commission"? I feel like Sly, Mel, and Jon Voight should've pulled Trump aside to tell then how colossally stupid this whole thing is

Durocher figured out that the Giants’ centerfield clubhouse, 483 feet from home plate, offered a clear view of the finger signals that opposing catchers gave to pitchers before each pitch. But how could a Giants spy with a 35-millimeter telescope, able to see the tips of a catcher’s fingers spread just .2 inch apart, tell the distant batter what pitch would be thrown seconds later?

An electrician named Abraham Chadwick solved that by installing a buzzer system. When Durocher’s clubhouse spy stole the catcher’s sign, he sent an electrical signal to the Giants’ bullpen and dugout- -one buzz for a fastball, two for a breaking pitch. Players in the Giants’ bullpen crossed their legs or used other signals to relay the stolen signs to their teammates at bat.
