I watched One Battle After Another on the plane and I'm still trying to collect my thoughts on it. I accidentally saw a bit of the various discourses on the film & it messed up my calibration as a viewer.
But it was a good movie that was elevated by even better performances. I'll say more later.

These capitalists have been controlling every inch of our government for decades at the expense of the American people and the entire world.
Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”
I just see a lack of real values across America. Success justifies anything and it's rotten to the core.
People say Trump has no war strategy, but his strategy is quite clearly a criminal one of destroying Iran's civilian infrastructure (and killing a bunch of people in the process) unless they capitulate. We -- the United States of America -- are a rogue state and global pariah.
Third Way has promoted the idea that Democrats should get cozy with Joe Rogan. Just in the past month, Rogan has said more vile, bigoted stuff than Hasan Piker has said in his entire career. That's just a fact.
Quiet. Part. Loud.
Before load management injuries were just covered up so players could play through them, and then the injuries would get worse so that players would have to retire early. Andrew Toney only played 8 years in the NBA and retired at the age of 31.
Stop trying to force injured players to play.
“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention.
“It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”
Y'all are so fucking weird with random pointless stats...
Crockett: "What if someone from another country said 'We're gonna bomb America bc we have a warrant for the president's arrest bc of the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files.' Every single one of you sticking up for him right now would be screaming. The analysis has to be the same."
CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars
Cars go vrooooooooom!

The Timothee Chalamet thing is so funny to me because this is just a classic case of a white boy beefing with his mom but it spun out of control
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
He was so good for us early in the season. Wtf happened?
Crazy the Sixers let him go, but it's even crazier that no other team was willing to offer more. Almost every team in the league could have had him.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza.
There shouldn't be a profit to be had when it comes to dehumanizing people this is horrible
NBA tanking panic is funny because they wrote a CBA designed to stop paying veterans and now they’re scrambling when a bunch of teams tank for good rookies
While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a ICE agent fired the fatal shot.
As someone who grew up without basic cable in the late 00s and early 2010s, NBA was never on "regular" TV for me. Just weird to see rose tinted glasses for the days of basic cable, which received plenty of complaints at the time.
austerity chic
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
