For a while there, we had rumors of a Jenette Vasquez origin story movie with Michelle Rodriguez in the lead role.
In the service of all humanity, I would suspend all film production until that was in theaters.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

This. This right here.
I don't understand why the other reporters just carried on like it was normal. Why was nobody saying "you can't speak to her like that" and refusing to continue til he apologised? He's not a king; they don't need to treat him with unearned deference.

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

I had a heart attack at 49. The bill was $300,000.
DeSantis said “Most people, particularly under 50, what they really need is a catastrophic plan that’s affordable, where then they can pay whatever they’re doing out of a health savings account.”

Truly, Chicago is the Platonic ideal of an American city.
I visited Chicago for the first time in my life this spring. I went all over and while I didn't get to see every square inch, all of my experiences were amazing and overwhelmingly positive. The people of Chicago treated me so well! The food was good, the ballpark phenomenal, transportation fast!
BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW.
While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers
I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.
