You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

It's early in the movie , but #late overall, so for those of you joining us now, here's a sneak reveal for tomorrow night's #late flick: Angel - it's marketed as smut, but it's honestly a bait-and-switch, instead serving up a heartfelt tale of found family; IMO perfect for Thanksgiving weekend

It would make it so much easier to make art, to survive as an artist of any stripe, in a world where human-made art is rapidly becoming so much more precious even as it becomes increasingly economically unviable.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Okay! Time to press play on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I've always been ashamed to admit I've not seen it entirely. The super-serious opening narration is very silly watching this in 2025, but I guess it sure tries to set a tone. Watch with us in Tubi if you want for #folkhorrorfriday!

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Believe it or not, I've never actually seen this in its entirety. Not entiiiirely sure this is what my brain needs tonight, so we'll see if I actually make it or if I instead devolve into a baser lifeform and crawl back into the sea.
Tomorrow night! Gather 'round the dinner table and spend some quality time with family for TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974).

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit
