Dig this Prada campaign, which hired former Disney/Don Bluth artist John Pomeroy for the hand drawn animation. Unlike the Walmart Muppet Christmas Carol ad, this tickles the brain's nostalgia wrinkles while still feeling fresh and creative instead of lazy and cynical.

The answer was obvious to anyone who read Fahrenheit 451 in high school.

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

Don’t forget that Jokic was a supporter of Serbia’s long-time pro-Putin/pro-MAGA strongman president who was just beaten in a landslide this weekend.

"They are not welcome anymore." Nikola Jokic on the fans who booed the Nuggets after their poor first half 😳 (via @milehighrachel.bsky.social)

Going into this season these first four games were supposed to be a big challenge and instead the Wolves have won the first three by 20+ points and have held the other team to less than 100 twice. This team has the vibes of Ricky’s rookie year.

I think there should be one game where the league decides OKC doesn’t get to draw any fouls. Preferably, that game would be against the Detroit Pistons.

The OKC FLOP tape just dropped... #NBA

Honestly I just want all stars to stop doing ads. I know why they do them and it’s a free country blah blah blah but it sucks balls

Wait wait wait, so what I’m hearing is you’d like to see LESS Adria Arjona during your daily TV viewing hours?

Truly one of the worst takes I’ve seen in a while.

"Tavern style" just means "pizza in a bar." Bars all over the country have this. That's like saying "Chicago has something special called draft beer."

One more reason why the government needs to take control of Starlink and SpaceX.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Send all of them into the sun.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Rebecca Ferguson should be like 35 percent more famous

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

rebecca ferguson plays the AI judge (the movie is stupid) and she is infinitely more compelling. she should be leading the film!

We need to keep America’s one good thing safe.

Dear friends: Pope Leo needs all our prayers, as he now faces treatment for lung cancer. Let me suggest that we ask Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette to intercede for him, as well as for his doctors, nurses and caregivers, so that he might be quickly restored to full health.

Have a feeling more of the same is going to keep coming out during discovery.

JP Acosta@acosta32jp.bsky.social

ESPN released a story about a recruiting firm’s memo to teams about Brian Flores containing racial stereotypes and yeah I’d say that’s definitely racist

You don’t see many politicians not mince words like this these days but Ossoff has not been afraid to come in from off the top rope.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

Fire Thom Tillis directly into the sun.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Alexander: "How confident are you that President Trump will not ask anyone to do anything illegal as it relates to midterms?" Tillis: "It'll work itself out." Alexander: "Why do you have the confidence?" Tillis: "Because January 6 worked itself out." Alexander: "Did it?" Tillis: "It sure did."

Then out spake Brave Toretto, the champion of the race, "To every driver on this earth comes Fury soon or late; And how should man race better, than facing Furious woe, For the honor of his family and the pink slips of his foes?"

The city is his possession: he roars through it, head held high, leaving rubber upon the cobblestones. He is king, he does whatever he wants, blows through crosswalks, takes a man's pinks, has his daughter on the back seat. No one dares to race him. But the people of Uruk cried out at his fury

This is a very good ad and obviously has Tim Robinson’s approval. Now let’s get Detroiters back on the air.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

Mikey and Nicky: written and directed by Elaine May. A gangster movie, a buddy movie, a night in the city movie. Cassevetes and Falk give all-time performances. It’s grimy, dark, funny and heartbreaking. Also one of the most chosen films in the Criterion Closet.

Name a film with a Woman Director.
