it is always depressing to remember that there is basically no level of bad behavior that matters to sports franchises if you are good enough on the field

There are zero commercial breaks without a gambling ad. Then you tell everyone that liberals are racists. MLB outdid themselves with the World Series commercials. Top notch viewing experience

About a month or two ago I had this vague recollection of a specific scene from an 80s horror movie that made a strong impression on young me. Had no idea what film it might have been even. Thanks to #fullmoonfrights I now know: Night of the Demons (1988)

For that, I think I'm going to try and stay up late enough for tonight's #fullmoonfrights late feature. Can't promise I'll make it to the end, but it's been probably 35 years since I've seen this, so long that I even forgot it existed.

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Sorry brother Arabs invented like 75% of math and culture and the rest comes from China

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Honestly, this is pretty great. Making friends can be really tough as an adult. If you have a hobby, finding an affinity group of some type is outstanding -- my quilt guild friendships are so important to me -- but that's not everyone's thing. Having another way to connect is good.

The apps are taking off at a time when about 67% of adults have reported social-emotional loneliness, in part because they did not feel part of a meaningful group.. About 45% of lonely adults said they “don’t really know how to develop close friendships.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/b...

A mob of redneck terrorists broke into our seat of government trying to overturn our votes, and they were all pardoned eventually, and the leader of the insurrection was installed into power again, but hey that’s just politics, right?

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

And I've seen Luke Kirby (the cop here) in several other productions, but never in a role like this. This is so different... Sometimes I need to be reminded of the range so many actors have. #sundayscares

I feel like the butchers, bakers*, would prepare ahead of time for this starving, feral horde each year. #sundayscares *candle stick makers have no real reason to worry

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I've attended most of the #folkhorrorfriday showings this past year. And a very common theme is the shocking number of atrocities communities will undergo for the sake of a good harvest 🤣🤣 #sundayscares

What percentage of Jeremy Davies's screen presence would you say is tied directly to whatever odd hair choice he made for his character? #sundayscares
