"[Jeff] Beth had been a long time. So we headed to our room to see if she was still coming out.
[Chris] I thought she was dead. Because she wasn't moving, her feet, were just... Yeah.
[Jeff] She was unresponsive. Her eyes were blank. And then suddenly... she seemed to come out of this state. Her immediate reaction was...
[Beth] 'It kept calling your name.'"

"[Chris] Hey! Did it mean something?
[Harcourt] What?
[Chris] The boat.
[Harcourt] My God, the boat again.
[Chris] Did it mean something?
[Harcourt] Chris, I told you, okay? I'm not right in the head--
[Chris] Emilia, I'm not asking for anything. I just want to know if it meant something to you at all.
[Harcourt] Of course it did, you f---ing ass---e. It meant everything. (Turns and walks off)"

"[Charles Manson] Hey! I'm Charles Manson. Killed a whole bunch of motherf----ers. I dig you, man. Big fan. I think you're outta sight! You caught Ted Bundy, f---er!
[Ed Kemper] Hello Ed, I'm also Ed, Ed Kemper. I murdered seven women, one girl. I killed my mother with a claw hammer, and I also murdered my grandparents. And just like you, Ed Gein, I engaged in decapitation, dismemberment, and necrophilia. You're very much a role model for me.
[Jerry Brudos] Hi, Ed. Jerry Brudos here. Uh... I only killed four women, but I did cut their t-tties off and their feet.
[Richard Speck] Oh, here he is! (Flashes his chest) Do you wanna squeeze 'em. Huh? Just kidding. Richard Speck, I can't believe I'm finally meeting you. Give me a hug, goddamnit..."

"You're lying on your back, crying out for your mother. She is standing, facing the wall. She has her back to you. A bell rings. Your mother turns to face you. She is silent, but her mouth is open wide. In her mouth is a door." #Wayward #NetflixSeries #Netflix #Thriller #HauntedOctober

"[Evelyn] ...Where does your fear live? It lives in your memories in the pattern you construct for yourself, the pattern you feel helpless to stop. Have a good day."

"[Laura]...My years here were really intense and really healing. And then suddenly, I was out in the real world. People were fake, and there was no community. And I never thought I would find that again, until I met Alex... and I have been terrified by my own limitations. But when I look around this room and I let myself be held by all of you... I know that this baby will have everything that it needs. More than I or Alex could ever give. Isn't that beautiful... to know that we will never be alone."

"[Campbell] No one gets away, Jake. It is only a matter of time they will find out it's Vince, and there are only two ways it can go... There's one sure thing. This is a zero-sum game. It's either you or your brother." #TheBlackRabbit #NetflixSeries #Netflix #Crime #Thriller #StirringSept

"[Jake] Come on. It was a bad thing. Hey, it was a bad, bad thing that happened. But you are not a bad person, Vin. Look at me. You are not a bad person. You are not a bad person. And I'm not f---in' leaving you.
[Vince] And you never will, will you?
[Jake] No. I'm not leaving you.
[Vince] I know. (Exhales) I know. I know. I f---in' know.
[Jake] Come here. (Embraces him) I never told nobody. I didn't tell anybody. Not a soul. You know?
[Vince] I know. You did good. You didn't do anything wrong.
[Jake] It's all right. It's all right, bro... We're gonna be all right. It's all gonna be all right. You wait and see, Vin...
[Vince] I told them I did it. I told them it was my fault. Always has been.
[Jake] Hey. It was me too.
[Vince] No... Uh-uh.
[Jake] We're gonna tell them the truth. And, uh... we'll face this together, the both of us. [Vince] Jake.
[Jake] Maybe they'll give us a break. Uh...
[Vince] I should've untied you years ago. It's fine.
[Jake] No, it's good. This... It's-- it's a fresh start. Huh? Without the weight... of everything. Clean slate.
[Vince] Hey.
[Jake] It's okay, Vin.
[Vince] Jake.
[Jake] I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm okay.
[Vince] It's not great in there. Okay? You stay out here. You live your life. You live it for both of us. You've always been better at living it than me anyway, okay? Huh? It's okay. I mean... I mean, I wish... I could make it out there. To the bridge, you know? It'd make everything easier.
[Jake] S---.
[Vince] I owe her a jump anyway.
[Jake] Shut up. Christ. Oh, God. I've been so scared the whole time. That all this was, you know, gonna get taken from us. From me. My God. I should've stopped pushing. Slowed down.
[Vince] You can now."

Meiselas: Brazil convicted Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro, sentencing him to 25+ years. Trump’s regime just retaliated by slapping Magnitsky Act sanctions on the judge’s wife and hitting Brazil with 50% tariffs—punishing U.S. farmers as China scoops up Brazil’s soybeans.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

Republicans keep proving that free speech isn’t free for everyone. That’s why I introduced the Free Speech Act of 2025 — to stop the FCC from being used as a political weapon and to protect the First Amendment.

Republicans scream “free speech”… until the truth hurts their fragile politics. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended, but hate, lies, and conspiracy theories run free. Once again, they prove selective outrage is their brand.

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.
