Prince’s obsession with Fox led to him privately commissioning a shot by shot remake of Back to the Future with the original cast and crew, but with himself as Marty McFly.

Yeah, the abusive drunk who ordered the entire military high command to hear a lecture on grooming wouldn’t do something foolish.
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't think Secretary Hegseth would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, 'Kill everybody. Kill the survivors,' because that's a clear violation of the law of war."

There was never any similar tut-tutting about actual echo chambers on the right—TS, Gab, all of those. But they couldn’t let us have nice things.

While Elon Musk may not be “religious” or “faithful“ to the Church in any explicit way, he’s clearly a cultural-Scientologist.

As an adjunct, I will note that its darkly funny that the dynamic rn is that college admins have been leaning on faculty hard to be more rigorous w grading & to stop "handing out" As & will also absolutely throw us under the bus if a student bitches about a bad grade they got to them.

I named my fists Gilbert and Gubar because they'll knock some reductionist notions out of your attic.
I named my fists Mozart and Beethoven because they're always primed to play some sweet chin music.
I named my fists MSG and Garlic Powder, because your face is in season for some tenderizing.

Anyway. Social media is genuinely terrible and made by people who seem to enjoy torturing us, so do whatever you’ve gotta do to get by.

In 2018 Stephen Miller wanted to blow up boats that had migrant children aboard. Try and get your head around that.

Who among these critics of immigration is not descended from immigrants? Who among their American heroes are not? Who among those ancestors were not a product of cultural conflict or the search for something better and different? And who did not bring some of their traditions with them.

Gov. Walz to NBC: Trump has "normalized this type of hateful behavior."
"I think it's just because he's not a good human being, but secondly, [it's] to distract from his incompetency … Trump is like, 'This is language police. You guys are woke.' Many times, it's just about being decent to people."
