It's physically painful to me that the elderly institutionalist Chuck Schumer pick turned out to be a better candidate than the guy trying to pass himself off as the Maine version of Mamdani

Trying to move to a place that requires an entrance interview. It went great and I felt great about that until I realized in movies if your entrance interview goes well and they seem thrilled to have you it means the place is cursed

They laughed when I put all my money into inflatable frog costume futures BUT WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 2d

I haven’t the froggiest idea why…

A tweet from Molly Ploofkins says: “Inflatable frog costumes are sold out on Amazon.” The attached image shows a product listing for a green inflatable frog costume with dark spots, a white belly, and a blue bow tie. The listing title reads “Inflatable Frog Costume Adult Men Women Outfit… for Halloween Holiday Cosplay Party Animal,” and it’s marked as “Currently unavailable.”

One Battle After Another was labeled a flop during opening weekend to the delight of YouTubers who didn’t like its pro-immigration subplot. As for Tron Ares…the two drunk guys I saw coming out of a showing seemed to enjoy it. Maybe they’ll see another 100 million times www.forbes.com/sites/markhu...

One Battle After Another Eyes $200 Million Box Office, Tron: Ares Flops

Disney's attempt to revive the "Tron" franchise crashed and the franchise appears headed for moth balls. But "One Battle After Another" fights on in Warner's banner year.

Kudos to anyone who voted for America to get more gurgly old-man hot takes about teenager sperm count.

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

There's a huge political argument about about Israel and Joe Biden going on between other people in the comments of one of my posts and I want everyone to know that my comments sections are exactly the place to do something like that
