540 English language films, from blockbusters to indies, in theaters and streaming, were/will be released in 2026. My goal was to see 135, or 25%, of them before the year ends. I am at 89. I might actually make it. My favs so far: Wildwood, Obsession, The Odyssey, Tuner

fortune.com/2026/10/22/p... Humans have shaped the evolution of dogs for 36,000 years. But dogs likewise shaped our evolution. They guarded our camps. They helped us transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to agricultural societies by guarding our crops and herding our flocks. This feels wrong.

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/... TLDR: We’re doomed. “…as machines take over more of the work of thinking, people will become less inclined or less able to scrutinize what those machines tell them. But another possibility has received far less attention: AI may be changing what we remember.”

washingtonpost.comScientists are finding AI may make us remember things that never happenedStudies show that artificial intelligence can distort memories, raising questions about what happens when machines become keepers of the past.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

“I don’t think my kids should be subjected to a drag queen reading stories at the library. Now, what time is it? I don’t want to miss the televised execution by firing squad.”

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Vote for my Willa to be the next Stan Lee Super Kid!

Gas is at pandemic level prices, our allies hate us, our food is unhealthy, our economy sucks, masked law enforcement operate outside the law, & we’re all going to get measles. But at least Petey gets to act tough in front of soldiers who don’t respect him by othering my kid.

This a good start. Hold these violent, entitled thugs responsible for their repugnant, criminal and inhumane actions. Abolish ICE

"History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It is often weakened by attacks on the institutions and public servants sworn to uphold it." Well put, Jack Smith.

This is all because the theater kids wouldn’t talk to creepy Stephen Miller in college, isn’t it?

newrepublic.com/post/213446/... This will decimate the ranks. 30% of elementary & 58% of secondary school teachers hold degrees in fields other than education. Hope we’re ready to start paying higher salaries to coax those who will now hold “profitable” degrees away from more lucrative prospects.

For decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was the undisputed global leader in public health. But after a year and a half in the cross hairs of HHS RFKjr’s drive to remake public health policy, the agency is a skeleton of the powerhouse it was. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

nytimes.com‘Zombified’ C.D.C., Hobbled by Cuts, Struggles to Fulfill Scientific Mission (Gift Article)The agency has lost its independence and nearly a third of its staff, as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and associates have tightened control.

I feel so free thinking about how my taxes go to propaganda videos exalting a man who is not only reprehensible to me but a genuine threat to the safety of the people I love, and if I don’t pay those taxes I could go to jail.

This admin has spent years going after science. It proposed the largest cut in NASA’s history, about a quarter of the agency and half of its science programs. But last month, a groundbreaking telescope left the launch pad anyway. And the story of how it got there is our good news this Sunday.

Did I stay up late last night to go see a movie I’ve already watched a million times just for four new mid-credit and post credit scenes? Yes. Bonus: the color grading was upscaled in this rerelease, and it looks great.

She’s moved into the next phase of the contest! Please give Willa your vote :)
