The year is 2037. 4-hour flights are now $1500+ and the only sound on board is the crinkling of wrappers over the constant advertisements for credit cards.

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

I have gathered my thoughts and turned it into a fun blog about how IMDb is hell. I hope you like a long, under-explained list of movie ratings. aftermath.site/imdb-review-...

aftermath.siteThe Sweet Spot Of IMDb Is 6.3-7.6Β  - AftermathIMDb's scoring system is useless and conceptually poor, unless you account for that ahead of time and assume it's wrong.

My grand theory is that 6.5 is the ideal rating on IMDb for an interesting movie because it means it alienated idiots. If you’d like proof: Almost every Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie is rated between 6.3-6.9.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

newrepublic.comTrump’s Decapitation of CDC Takes Darker Turnβ€”and Hands Dems a WeaponIllinois’s J.B. Pritzker is leading a charge other Democratic governors should take up: In our America, we’ll make sure public health systems remain strong.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Applied for a job and was immediately called by an AI recruiter that disconnected me and on the second call didn't respond to one of my answers...just dead air. Fuck that. Human recruiters are better than AI that can't hold a conversation about the position.

Democratic lawmakers are expected to communicate their opposition to Donald Trump during the president’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday night by color-coordinating.

Democrats can and should be much more openly contemptuous. They owe terrorists nothing and they should treat Nazis like Nazis. But it’s true that almost none of these appeasers could pull it off.

The dignified, low-level rage and contempt Zelensky channels as he confronts Trump and Vance is a model for what leadership could look like right now, and it's hard to imagine any top Democrat pulling it off.
