It’s a huge problem that the most senior people in government routinely get in front of microphones and say things so mind-boggling racist and hateful that you don’t feel like you can repost it to scream about how much you hate it, because you don’t even want people to have to HEAR it

Suffice it to say that RFK Jr should live the rest of his life penniless, shunned, and outcast from common society for the shit I just saw him say, and that’s just for what he said on Monday of this week, not the balance of his entire preposterous and destructive career

I've written a lot of big articles over the years, but my profile piece of @nickdragotta.bsky.social is one of my favorite things I've ever done. Get to know the Absolute Batman artist by reading this feature, with insight from Dragotta himself and a whole bunch of his collaborators over the years.

This week brings Absolute Batman #25, and if you want to learn how its artist Nick Dragotta got to this moment, read my profile of Dragotta exploring how he went from a creator figuring things out in his 20s to maybe the biggest artist in comics at age 50. It's open to non-subscribers.

i know there's all kinds of apps people use to block their internet, but physically putting a framed print of Carolyn Drake's "Door to Hell" over the entire monitor whenever i don't want to use the computer has been working pretty well here

I’ve lived here for almost twelve years and this article was the first time I learned that, if a digital billboard on a storefront in LA is showing ads for something other than that store, it’s illegal. And, of course, basically never enforced. Great job, everyone. Great governance.

A Hollywood billboard whose bright glare has kept residents up all night shines a light on the city’s failure to regulate commercial signs. Read the full investigation: buff.ly/HocVWkq

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

a 25 year old could not comprehend how bad the dining options were in the median American town in 1996

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Did you know: the truck flip in The Dark Knight was improvised! The stunt driver was “feeling a little silly” and did something he assumed would end up on the gag reel, but Nolan wasn’t paying attention that day and put it in the final edit.

I need a version of this meme where the girl is in a spectacular Eiko Ishioka lace dress, or maybe the red muscle-fiber armor, so that I’ve got something to post in the event of BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA MENTIONED

There was a copy of this going on sale on a Saturday morning at Record Safari a couple weeks ago, but it was that weekend when it was 95 degrees by 8:30am and I would have had to line up out front for like an hour in order to be the one who grabbed it, and I just couldn’t make myself. I HAVE REGRETS

This is a reminder of the ways in which you can influence betting markets with fake scams, at a time where big news outlets like CBS News are incorporating these markets into their coverage and graphics.

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

I left LENNY behind bc I try to hold to an “only buy discs of movies you’ve seen” approach, but I would v much like to see LENNY so there’s a good chance I go back and break my rules before the day is through

If only there was some form of document which enumerated the powers of the legislature.

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

I do not believe that all movies need to be 90 minutes long or whatever but my limited powers of prediction tell me I really won’t fuck with being inside the vibes of this one for three hours

I can still remember sitting at the table in my friend’s dining room after school one afternoon reading this. I was VERY pumped for this album. (And I still rep for it!)
