This Wednesday, 10/21, at 8 PM ET, join us on YouTube for our annual Beg-A-Thon with guest @josholson.bsky.social! We'll discuss the rise of Ben Shapiro's right-wing movie empire and its lurid demonization of Muslims and leftists while parsing just how organic the demand really is.

This is going to great. I hope you’ll join us!

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

Yeah, baby!

It’s def up there for me. Number 1 is a hundred percent A History of Violence, in a packed opening night multiplex theater in DC. The audience was reeeeeally into it. Grindhouse, The Departed, Miami Vice, The Girl Next Door, School of Rock, are runners-up off the top of my head

If you want to know why I think @andrewhickey.500songs.com 's A History of Rock in 500 Songs is one of the greatest podcasts ever, consider the fact that his brand new 10 minute Patreon bonus episode is 2 hours and 20 minutes long. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Oh my God. I’m only just now watching Kash Patel explain the FBI’s relaxed regulations on bestiality. They finally broke me. How can a human being be expected to believe this is reality?

If there's a single solitary part of you that doesn't understand what's happening here, replace the word "transgender" with "Black," or "Jewish." This is the sitting president of the United States openly calling for a genocide.

Someday soon hes going to be over and trans folk will continue to exist and, hopefully, thrive, for as long as there are humans on this planet.

Got to drag out my amazing and terrible Philly accent for this fantastic conversation with the creator of Task and Mare of Easttown, two of my favorite recent crime shows.

I’ll take “Things the left has been screaming about for a decade” for a thousand, Alex.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

Based on everything we keep seeing I just don’t know how people are so reflexively defensive of Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries etc. They’ve all fucking failed us. Their job was/is to fight the right and they don’t do it.

Republicans actively ripping up everything that isn’t nailed down and giving it to their rich friends. Democrats actively working to make sure there’s no meaningful or effective resistance. Elephants out here just taking care of motherfucking business. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Vital.

IGN@ign.com

Director Joe Russo said it is vital to bring Avengers: Endgame back to theaters ahead of Victor Von Doom’s arrival later this year because the new footage is "critical" to the story of Avengers: Doomsday. https://bit.ly/4sGegOJ

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it
