Watched Locke for the first time in a decade last week. Still great, still shockingly engrossing when they're talking concrete, and the cast is fantastic (young Tom Holland on the other end of the line!).

it’s totally possible to do a movie like this, where the protagonist is locked in one place and the drama comes from his conversations with others. the tom hardy vehicle LOCKE is a great example of the form. but pratt just does not have the range for this. he’s too self-conscously “serious”

He was back in 2 plays later. Which kind of tells you everything you need to know about the level of accountability this staff demands.

Colin Simmons of Texas did a piss taunt after sacking the Tennessee QB and caught a penalty for it. The slo-mo angle is incredible

This is what makes all the tactical moderation/triangulation stuff so obviously a fool's errand. Most voters are not consuming party policies that way. They are broad strokes generally defined by the other party.

I also think people underestimate the fact that Dem House committees are going to spend two straight years getting testimony on the most egregious corruption anyone has ever heard of.

anyway we’re going to win huge in November and it isn’t going to solve everything right away, or even later, but it will make things meaningfully better in both the short term and the long term for ~everyone, and I know this because I remember 2006

Any manufacturer who thinks people are going to give up CarPlay is absolutely nuts. No, I don't want to use your glitchy, proprietary system. Obviously. And I certainly won't pay to do it.

Woah. This is good news. People may not realize it when they demand this feature, but what they're saying is "I will not buy a car which requires an ongoing subscription to remain fully functional" and it is a good sign GM may be responding to that. carbuzz.com/gm-not-compl...

BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian

Watched Clue this week in honor of Tim Curry. Getting some real “why would he want to kill you in public?” vibes from this summary.

Stereogum@stereogum.com

Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been convicted of the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. The 63-year-old former South Side Compton Crips leader was charged with orchestrating the drive-by shooting of the legendary rapper in 2023, and prosecutors leaned on his own 2019 memoir detailing his role in the killing.

Gotta give the City of Dallas credit, I renewed my vehicle registration yesterday and it was the most convenient experience I’ve ever had with something like that. Take ticket, get a text when it’s your time, spend 90 seconds at window and walk out with the sticker.

Obviously shocking on the “merits,” and could impact my kid’s teacher. But Abbott is normally smarter than this and I cannot imagine why he would do this in an election year that promises to be tougher than normal. “I will harm your kids to punish immigrants.” Cool message.

Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday he plans to call for a ban on school districts employing anyone with an H-1B visa, a move that could cost hundreds of Texas teachers their jobs. bit.ly/4wA1bbC

Said another way, it's not enough to do policy only. You've actually gotta do politics as well if you want to win a political process. Managing the press is a really important part of that.

People are gonna be mad about this but yes it's a MASSIVE failure that the Biden admin failed to do the basic mechanics of engaging with the press and pissed them all off. "The press shouldn't base its coverage on whether we answer their emails on time" ok but they do. So answer the fucking emails.

Also, it's fine if it's not earnest! I am very happy with people pretending to be good and care about others because they view it as a social expectation. It's much better than the alternative.

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social

i also wonder if part of the backlash was that we've decided obvious earnestness is 'cringe' &, like, look at the world around you. do we like the alterative? getting back to a sane & just world will involve a lot more of things we dismiss as cringe now

My favorite part of “not necessary for the plot” is thinking about what else would get cut. Establishing shots? Nope, why would we do that? Action sequences? Nah just cut to the end and show us who won. It’s a take that hates the entire idea of movies.

Everyone is hitting “you’re mad she took the daughter to the ER?!?” Which, sure. But doesn’t this quote imply that he planned ahead in the parenting plan to prevent her from taking the kid for medical care?

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Max Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan

There were people who thought One Battle After Another made too much of a caricature of Lockjaw and his crew.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

This is both a very funny relationship and the coverage is hilarious. He is a junior at a PE firm. “Hey babe, I know we were supposed to go out tonight but I don’t have all the responses yet for the reps and warranties call and the VP had some comments on the funds flow…”

You wanna see your house do some weird stuff? Lose one leg of your power. Some stuff doesn’t work, some does, some HALF works because your 240 stuff like the AC apparently backflow into the down side? Obviously though your AC goes off when it’s 100 degrees.
