it's kind of funny that the wire rimmed glasses in The Devils were considered on release to be unbearably "ruins the entire movie" tier anachronistic nowadays, they're Ben Franklin looking, blend right in, would never have any idea absent familiarity with contemporaneous criticism

flashbacks to hiding this issue to read before my parents saw it

In 2005, Time Magazine did a cover story on “The Battle Over Gay Teens.” It’s the same handwringing we see now from “concerned” adults on behalf of young people. “Kids are disclosing their homosexuality with unprecedented regularity–and they are doing so much younger.” time.com/archive/6596...

I was thinking a yard sign in the median was the first time I'd ever seen the name of the Republican running against Mark Warner, but then I remembered I've literally already voted

honestly i think it's great that non-film critics that are seen as experts in their fields keep on writing embarrassingly bad film reviews because it emphasizes how much we actually need critics

“'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and it’s dangerous to pretend that it is,” writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

A more accurate name would be "You Can See Everything That We Chose To Point The Camera At"

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

2029, retroactive reinstatement and back pay for everyone doged

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

if a room of lawyers is upset the New York Times counsel does not view their onscreen copyright disclaimer as dispositive, we have to be a bit more charitable to the layperson's "no copyright infringement intended"

the journalism ethics aspect is also so weak you let this guy in because he told you he was making a student film, and then you're upset said film was published by the NYT? you'd think congratulations would be in order, not accusations of deception

lmao of course, guess the byline if you were eligible to vote for John McCain you are now at least 36 years old if you were the median voter in 2008 you are now eligible for Medicare

I've seen "how many brexit voters are now dead" analyses, would be curious about the same figures for Romney-Hillary voters

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

This is why I don’t date: You cannot get your heart broken if you don’t open it up in the first place 😎

I had someone ask me why I care so much about Ethan's cheating if I'm poly now. If anything, that has made me care even more! If you're going to be in a relationship, you need to be able to be open and honest with your partner, whether you're in one or many.

remember when Fox News used to count the number of times Obama said "I" in a speech

Trump received a made up "Man of the Century Award" during a Republican campaign rally in Iowa. The award was invented by Joe Mitchell, a Republican congressional candidate. Mitchell made up the awarded and introduced the recognition himself.

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

this political action committee still does "Democrats are the real racists" messaging the old fashioned way

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @barackobama.bsky.social & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

focusing so much on Benghazi is going to risk Republicans winning in 2016

Schooley@schooley.bsky.social

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.

I am kind of surprised the social conservative panic has centered around trans kids when "help!! my kid invited a gay kid over to the sleepover" must be happening all of the time right now

Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social

Like when you have students who say they’ve been out since fifth grade, it’s actually quite interesting to think about what a gay culture that’s *not* defined by the closet/being a social outcast is going to look like for Gen Z and beyond.

I just don't understand the Youtube infidelity thing. Like if one of the Corridor special effects guys one day had sex outside the holy bounds of matrimony, should I naturally expect their entire operation to shutter immediately? What year is it?????

The fact that these are channels that have huge staffs and half a dozen cohosts makes it even weirder, instead of a channel where it's one person (plus an editor or producer offscreen) Even then I don't know why their personal life would matter unless it related to the information they're conveying
