NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

there are going to be many remembrances of Tim Curry today for his brilliant work in Rocky Horror and Clue and so much more, but to me this ridiculous bit from Red Alert sums up everything that made him great you never knew what you were going to get with him, but whatever it was would be brilliant

Bourdain once said “The one thing I know for sure about China is I will never know China. It's too big, too old, too diverse...” He’s right. All the more reason to be thankful for @eosnos.bsky.social ‘s new piece on China, AI, and the future. Helps to make some kind of sense of the current moment.

Got this @a24movies.bsky.social book and it looks great! Wonderful selection of movies, each with little “warning flag” callouts for violence, language, etc. But… The Brave Little Toaster not having ANY callouts?! If that’s a bit of trolling for the ‘heads out there, all I can do is tip my cap.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Trump on Egyptian President el-Sisi: "He was in a hotel and I met him. We fell in love, deeply in love ... we didn't know each other before that. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to."

NYT's house style makes its coverage of Trump administration stuff sometimes feel like those Monty Python skits where they do a documentary or news style serious narration about something objectively goofy

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

“I must to HAND it to you sir… that was quite the BRUISING remark”

Trump to NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "You heard that question? With those beautiful ears of yours." (Check out how awkward Isaacman looks after Trump says this to him.)

Can we talk more about how Trumps fat fragile cankles gave out on him after standing up from a chair and how great it was watching him collapse into a big frumpy pile of cheap trump brand factory made tuxeo crap
