Absolutely agreed. To that end: Wildwood was mind-blowingly amazing and I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen. I still can't wrap my head around how they did all of that in stop motion.

I think of Superman not as a power fantasy, but as a fantasy of the powerful as really good people. I kind of feel that way about Dolly Parton, too.

I talked to Mitch McConnell for about 20 minutes earlier, and he spent the whole damn time complaining about the Supergirl movie.

I believe that a working-class-coded progressive white dude with no problematic tattoos and who also is not a rapist both exists and could make a great senate candidate. But just to be safe, maybe we shouldn't let men run at all. shootmenintospace.com

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

My wife and I were joking about the Billionaires March earlier. I told her "You know there's only gonna be like seven people there" -- I didn't realize how prophetic I would be!

Finally some good news

I can't believe that Crossplay wouldn't let me play this word here in 2026.
