I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’

‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’

‘Gandalf!’

‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’

is it crass to point out that popular indifference to lives abroad and then to targeted killings helped pave the way for this

Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 1d

Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

The blast radius of how much this is going to suck is going to be huge. Best practice for creatives in Hollywood, for crude self interested reasons alone, is to stay as far away from whatever the fuck is going on at Paramount as possible

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 1d

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

CHOTINER: So this movie, you already had it on bluray?
ME: That's correct.
CHOTINER: And you've bought it again.
ME: Not exactly. I bought a 4K bluray of it.
CHOTINER: Superior?
ME: Yes.
CHOTINER: Perceptibly superior?
ME: The resolution is...look, on an OLED-
CHOTINER: Do you have an OLED?

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Ultraman says: It's Wash Your Water Bottle Wednesday!

If you've forgotten for a while to give your water bottle a good scrub, today's the perfect day for a fresh start 💜

A drawing of a nalgene water bottle that is full of water, with Ultraman kaiju Gubila, Guesra, and Eleking swimming inside of it. In the upper right-hand corner of the composition is Ultraman pointing directly at the viewer. Underneath it says, "Ultraman says, 'It's was your water bottle Wednesday! You never know what monsters are growing in there!" A small watermark saying @bennygesserit appears next to the water bottle.
