This is by far the worst Super Bowl hype song I have ever heard and yes I am aware We’re the New York Giants exists.
Never saw this before in my entire life but the toothless and painfully unfunky “New England, The Patriots & We” that aired nonstop on V66 left a bad taste in my mouth. Berry The Bears!: youtu.be/HEOj-IoIgXo?...

In which Zack Budryk perfectly captures the feeling many #ActuallyAutistic people feel in this particular moment of RFK Jr.'s resurgence: We felt like we were turning the corner on autism acceptance. And now we are seeing that door closed off.

The Tommyknockers, and it has to be true to the book, I don’t care if it’s 14 hours long and absolutely sucks.
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.

Daniel Craig performances are like my children; please don’t make me choose which one is “better”
I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

I watched both Clerks and Mallrats in a (different) theater in a college town and it was a great time both times. I’d imagine this wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun seeing either film in a multiplex with a bunch of older adults
wrote about the kind of cinema that can only be appreciated in a friend's basement. that's right, I wrote about MALLRATS!

“The Little Movie That Couldn’t”: ‘Mallrats’ Turns 30
In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

The first legislators arrested for inspecting these spaces were Black legislators from New Jersey
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

over and over i ask: do you genuinely think the police will catch the person who stole your package (and what do you actually want to happen to that person, if so)
“Camera doorbells are social cancer as a technology, breaking down social solidarity and further encouraging people to see strangers with suspicion.”
Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.
When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

I was idly watching the YouTube video with all the Star Trek openings on a lazy weekend. Lucy was sitting with me (she’s only seen TOS) and she screamed 10 seconds into Faith of the Heart

I argue with people way less on Bluesky than I did on Twitter and some of it is I’ve noticed reading comprehension has eroded to the point where so many responses from non-mutuals completely miss the point I was making.

dropping a top 100 comedy movie article during baseball HOF ballot season should be punishable by trebuchet
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp
