Am I going blind or is the Sopranos missing from this list?

I adore Mike White but The White Lotus being ranked higher than The Leftovers on the NYT list is blasphemy!! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Meet the Pacific stargazer, an ambush hunter spends most of its life buried beneath the sand. Its upturned face allows it to see even when most of its body is concealed. And? It's capable of stunning prey with electrical shocks of ~50 volts! Photo: alboertoalcala, CC BY 4.0 iNaturalist

Saw Masters of the Universe tonight and had a blast. Weirdly, I kept thinking about I Saw the TV Glow while watching it. They're very different movies on the surface - one's a big, colorful sword and sorcery adventure …

A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #1 gets really clever with it though. Writer Phil Hester @hester and artist Ryan Kelly @ryankelly lean into contrast - when characters are safe, you get more dialogue and word balloons. When things get tense, it goes quiet. Like, really quiet.

Whole stretches with no dialogue and just a few tiny, uncomfortable sound effects that feel way louder than they should. It ends up creating that same anxiety the movies have, just in a totally different way. Pretty cool stuff.

Vinyl record of the night: Strange Little Girls by Tori Amos. Her 2001 album of cover songs written by men about women—drawing from artists like Neil Young, Depeche Mode, and Slayer—was finally released on vinyl for the first time this month.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Today ICE killed a woman in cold blood. Her name was Renee Nicole Good. This isn’t an isolated incident. Since Trump’s second term began, dozens of people have died in ICE custody. We need Nuremberg-style trials. Silence is complicity. History will judge.

Friend in Westchester NY is trying to place a very friendly cat that hangs out in their yard. The cat is good with other cats. Please spread the word. They’ll have to go to aspca if it gets much colder (yes they built a temp shelter plz read the screenshot). #adoptdontshop #Westchester #PeekskillNY

I’m not outraged. The nonprofit sector needs talented & dedicated people and that means salaries/benefits competitive w/ for-profit world. $1M sounds like a lot (it is!), but not outrageous for running one of the biggest charities in the country.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Why do we crucify ourselves every day? I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you I crucify myself, every day I crucify myself My heart is sick of being I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh-oh

There is no pain You are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

What Tom doesn’t understand is that many immigrants, people of color, and LGBTQ+ folks have already gone into social media silence because they have targets on their backs right now.

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared. You have no idea what "fascism" really means.
