I stand by my take for all “top 100” lists: never share the rankings, just show one group for top half of the list and another for the bottom

Most of you are plenty old enough to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the anti-bed lady is a fool who will wake up one day with her neck against her shoulder and discover a real scam called “chiropractors”

Such a shame she missed the first generation of Bluesky dot com. This is absolutely somebody who would be a Bluesky elder, telling people 'uh, sweaty, this isn't the hellsite - we caption pictures here' then everyone's like 'YOU TRIED TO MURDER SOMEBODY FOR SLENDERMAN'.

A Wisconsin woman who stabbed her friend more than a dozen times in 2014 to impress a shadowy fictional character named Slender Man was taken into custody late Sunday, a day after she left a group home where she had been staying.

So many people need to throw their phones in the toilet. Bring back landlines so that friends and loved ones can make sure you’re not dead. There should be devices that just do email, like a Jitterbug for screen dopes

Death By Lightning got me thinking about Biden. Arthur was a weak president, but he met the unstoppable force of The Historical Moment and became moveable; Biden was like Hoover and leaned his desiccated shoulder into that boulder, cursing us all

Noirs should be meaner
A ★★½ review of The Blue Gardenia (1953)
If you’re going to make a mystery where a woman (Anne Baxter) can’t remember if she murdered the fat pervert who got her blasted on rum (Raymond Burr), just lean into the misanthropy.

I reviewed HAIL, CAESAR!, an underappreciated gem in the Coens' filmography. A film about the place of the cinema and Hollywood in the debased, ridiculous American pantheon.

Is it good for your Oscar’s campaign if everyone looks at your movie and go “wow these women are dying”

Donald Trump sitting at his desk in the Oval Office and grinning with his head turned to beam at a standing Zohran Mamdani like a toddler meeting a Disney character. A gleeful Joe Biden wearing both a TRUMP 2024 hat and the kind of smile that only happens when your skin recedes.

In Oakland, CA on a hot July Sunday in 1983, 20,000 baseball fans watched the Rangers and the A’s take a 5-5 tie deep into extra innings. At the top of the 15th, the Rangers set the MLB record for largest extra-innings score differential by bringing home 12 runs.

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:
And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide. And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide", ", and they're getting everyone else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

I would love to hear from the Maserati dealer who sold a car to a 26-year-old MAGA Jersey Girl, I’m guessing the interest is well into the double digits
Screengrab from article. Text reads: Greene allegedly drove to Pennsylvania and paid a body-modification artist $500 to carve the wounds on her face, neck, and upper body, using a pattern she had provided in advance. Investigators later found matching zip ties in her Maserati SUV. Cellphone records showed that two days before the purported attack, her co-conspirator searched online for “zip ties near me,” a discovery authorities cited as further proof that the incident was staged. The sentence “Investigators later found matching zip ties in her Maserati SUV” is highlighted.
