Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.

Billy Wilder, a genius, wrote something like 35 movies before he directed alone (he co-directed one in Paris), many for some of the best directors of all time. Even then he brought his editor on set to help him figure out where to put the camera. Sorkin here just runs on vibes..

Best news this cycle I have had is my MAGA friend just told me she is not voting, which also means her husband mother and son are likely not voting either.

Complete and total loser.

People has named Sexiest Man Alive, so it’s time for vintage nerds to name their Sexiest Man Dead! In past contests, Toshiro Mifune and Paul Newman have taken top honors. Who are your picks?

Yelich. He has harped on this, especially lately. Remember he came from Florida, where this doesn’t exist. And he was close to Uecker, the center of gravity for all that. The young players have been saying it too. When you feel your work gets people where they live, it means something.

I’m not German. Nobody in my family that I know of is German. But I remember watching and being so happy for the Germans because they got to see their families again, their country was whole again. That moment had a huge impact on a black kid in America.

When I was a kid the Berlin Wall was up. I just assumed that it would be there forever. When I was born it had been up 16 years. It would just always be there, right? And then the year I turned 12 my Mom and I watched it come down and Germany became whole again.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Frelick is 26. If you listen to him talk about the pride they take in practicing the little things, he sounds ten years older. He says Yelich impressed it on him the moment he came up: “If you don’t do this, you don’t play.”

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

One of the problems with Jurassic Park (the movie) is it’s too much of a thin resetting of Westworld (the movie) rather than leaning more in to Jurassic Park (the book). Ironically, one of the improvements that Westworld (the series) makes is it also pulls inspiration from Jurassic Park (the book).

Michael Bazemore@deepwatermike.bsky.social

I remember watching "Westworld" a year or so after seeing "Jurassic Park" and thinking, "Wow. Crichton really ripped this off. Then seeing at the end that Michael Crichton was also responsible for "Westworld."

Bet he flunked Al-Jabr

First, he’s breaking the damn law campaigning. Second, he’s a revolting gutter racist.

i like that the big divide on this post is whether people read it, correctly, as "*run explicitly* on banning online gambling" or whether they ignored the modifying verb and adverb and read it as "i don't think anyone should ban online gambling"

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment
