I’m just glad Dems are starting to get comfortable making the GOP eat shit

The Carentan episode of Band of Brothers is an excellent piece of television. Holy shit.

I always forget how top notch this show is.

I've long wished I could be a storyteller/screenwriter, I just don't think that I have the right imagination for it or anything to say really, even if I understand all the parts and how they fit together.

Bleh.

Pretty rich coming from a guy who sounds like he swallowed a rock tumbler

I do like the ending with Rusty rigging the slot machine to give the hotel critic a payout. Poor bastard earned that.

I’m just so tired of everything being a scam.

We live in hell

An Apple News push notification that reads: The New Yorker 7m ago What W.W.E. taught Linda McMahon, Donald Trump's Secretary of Education, about handling unstable men.

An actual headline in the year of our lord 2026

Seriously. I don’t need my can of spaghetti sauce narcing on me

What are we doing here

It's one of my favorites, always has been, but I really really appreciate it more after watching Jaws 2 recently. I remembered that one as the "good" sequel, and man...it takes forever to get started.

The OG starts and never really stops. Constantly invested in every last thing on screen.

The Internet makes me regret my literacy sometimes.

Evil organizations naming their products/initiatives after fictional evil people/objects without thinking through what happened to those things is my favorite bit.

Enron, Trump 2020, ChatGPT all called themselves the Death Star. DO THEY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEATH STAR?!?! Like, 2-3 times?

Poster for the Bourne identity

Tonight’s flick: THE BOURNE IDENTITY.

Somehow never saw these, and I need to scratch that Tony Gilroy itch

The notification noise makes my blood pressure spike. When it decides to work, of course. Sometimes it decides to turn itself off, and then I miss messages from my boss, who then uses our OTHER internal messaging system to tell me to check Teams.

Bang up job all around.

The latter smacks of the type of nostalgia that holds us back from making meaningful progress.

I do think Brendan Gleeson made a good Trump, but would have been better if he dialed back the sinister by, like, 20%.

I live on the Jersey Shore, see lots of local restaurant owners on Facebook ocassionally. Worked in a few of those restaurants. All of the owners are MAGA, all of them hire migrant workers, all of them are now whining about not being able to find workers as summer approaches.

reading a history of the peasants' war in germany in the 15th century and the extent to which the whole fucking thing was gender is really striking and has me wondering whether all of us who support progressive views on gender need to be more honest w/ ourselves about how steep a climb this is

"The Pope should stay out of politics!" Buddy, you don't become the head of one of the largest and most influential multinational organizations in the world without being a savvy politician.

Man, I really didn't think there was a fandom with worse media literacy than Star Wars, but the Pitt subreddit has proven me wrong.

Did they stop to think that the type of guy using that app is more inclined to be looking for transactional MILF action than somneone who isn't using it?

I'm not a religous man, but having a woke American pope at this time feels a tad like divine intervention.

Pope Leo:

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

Here’s looking at Donald Trump.

🔥

the thing that will revive younger people's investment in politics is millennials and zoomers becoming the face of it, it's really that simple.

The second one, hoo boy

Apollo 13 for sure
The Insider iirc
I would also nominate My Cousin Vinny
