When I still believed in Capitalism, a big question I had about Socialism was "Under Socialism how are we going to make big art projects like Triple A games and blockbuster movies?". Turns out capitalism isn't able to support those things anyway.

RIP to Watler Jr. Reminder that Ken Paxton was impeached for trying to fuck over Mitte's charity foundation.

This is incredibly sad. I once interviewed RJ Mitte on the Southbank and he was very friendly and joyful on a sunny day by the river. He leaves a legacy of disability representation on the screen; something that is far from easy to achieve and still too rare. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

@alexwgalbraith.bsky.social I'm a leftist so I believe that wrestlers deserve worker protections and should unionize. Your piece, though, shows little respect for the art of professional wrestling and it's performers. It's lazy and condescending and will turn off the people you're trying to reach.

Read my Labor Day column: Move over Mamdani. Mayor Whitmire is the real left-wing, workers’ hero. www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

The argument of the essay that Hook caused Spielberg to lose his "sweetness" or sense of child-like wonder only off-handedly mentions that he made Jurassic Park immediately afterwards which has sweetness and child-like wonder in spades.

I was in a parking lot for a Harbor Freight in Baltimore and the people next to me had a philosophical conversation about whether God disapproves of adultery or smoking crack more while smoking what I can only assume is crack.

Also later a guy parked next to me, got out of his car, and dissed my T-shirt for no reason. I feel like I'm in an episode of Superstore if it was written by John Waters

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

I've already stated my position that firing your weapon, for any reason, should be the end of your LEO career. Thanks for serving. I think going after the wrong person on a warrant should be the same result. Did both? Automatic prosecution for negligent homicide at minimum.

I hate that all new stories about the Supreme Court decision on Birthright Citizenship read something like "In major blow to President Trump..." when instead they should read "Well this failed...OBVIOUSLY...but here is all the stuff the Supreme Court gave the Trump administration this week."

It's all made up.
