reject modernity (Michael (2026)) embrace tradition (Michael (1996))

seems like a real problem that the most senior government officials can't do 4th grade math

financing interesting but commercially suspect movies is like the one good thing extremely wealthy people do. Imagine a world where Elon got Coppola-mania instead of horny and based spacepilled. That's a world I'd much rather live in.

more like Tim Cooked amiright?

I usually don't mind doing my taxes but I genuinely feel like a fucking idiot cutting a giant check to this government.

giving your OD'ing homie more adderall is the 2026 equivalent of doctors killing George Washington by bleeding out nearly two and a half liters of blood to treat a sore throat

70 million dollars for an AI movie is wild. Marty Supreme cost 70 million. Dave Eggers made a meticulously detailed 13th century viking epic for 70 million. Uncut Gems cost 19 million!

What is the point of all this AI shit if it isn't cost cutting?

we might even get a few halfway decent albums out of it if they did

a quick run of a times square billboard is actually pretty low rent when it comes to brand campaigns. In fact, posting about them is their real utility.

It’s literally the lesson he learned when he cancelled Chapelle Show, that the wrong people were taking the wrong ideas from his work and weaponizing it. When your standup is just a multi million dollar ted talk for republicans to nod along to, it was always going to go this way.

Zucman, Stiglitz, and Zohran?? all my favorite fellas together on stage

Clavicular is a 20 year old child and famous for no good reason, not due to any particular celebration-worthy talent. He is a victim of a form of mental illness that is exacerbated by attention. However, if I come up with a good joke about him, I will post it.

this usually happens when they reach the "and find out" part of the "fuck around and find out" construction

His win was largely due to the economic and political headwinds Bidem faced. I agree with Dave there. But there's a reason he won with a point and change over Kamala and not ~10 pts like Reagan put up over Carter. A different candidate or strategy could've beaten him. That's all I'm trying to say.

I listened to that interview over the weekend and she basically says she thanked MTG on the floor on her last day for having the conviction to stick to her beliefs when they brought her into conflict with Trump, but characterizing that as pushing democrats to emvrace her is a pretty unfair imo

I won't just go to mass, I'll straight up go to confession

is kalshi taking bets? the smart money's on greek orthodox, but I might place a small hedge on methodist

It's so wild lmao. And you just know he was like "wait until the Academy gets a load of this!"

Brad Pitt but he's doing the Jamaican patios from Meet Joe Black

hey man, you don't have to censor yourself on my behalf. Fire away or block me if you must

Trump was also a world historically bad candidate in 2024, his historically slim margins in what should've been a blowout are proof of that

And just on the Zohran thing, I agree that you couldn't drop a democratic socialist in Texas and expect him to win statewide office. But James Talarico has clearly learned something from his style and strategy and at least has a chance.

while taking declining major interview opportunities and basically keeping joe biden in hiding. Would they have won if they had knocked it out of the park on the comms front? I don't know, but they at least would have gone down swinging! And if they couldn't, they should've made way for a primary.

That is an inexcusable failure. And my civic obligations aside (I don't disagree with you there and I knocked on doors for kamala believe it or not), they instead chose to alienate a large part of their base with meely statements and smug press conferences on Gaza
