ERIC BAUZA DIED?!!! WHAT THE FUCK???!

Brazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.

The alarm in Israel's business community over Netanyahu's comments is palpable. Suddenly centrist pundits are saying how important it is to end the war. Another proof that sanctions have to be on the table.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

biddy blas might be the hardest a dude has ever rocked. an absolute staple in the glupo shitto pantheon

Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, has been fired, after less than a week on the job, NYT reports

"Why does my boyfriend take such ugly pictures of me???" it's because he think you're beautiful just sitting there in pajamas rubbing something out of your eye, he doesn't know how to stage the photo to present you as hot to the world because it's all hot to him

There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers"

Yet another example of "the politics sickos need to read more military theory" is the fact that so many politics sickos seem to be wedded to the idea that a decisive battle is the One Simple Trick that will result in eternal victory

So Lindsey Graham is dead. Mitch McConnell is brain dead. These tend to come in threes. I feel like I should buy champagne. Gotta stay ready 🍾

BREAKING: USGS upgrades Venezuela earthquake to 7.5. Major damage to buildings.

woke up this morning with the phrase, "Ork pronouns, 'e / 'em" stuck in my brain so there you all go

I feel like executives need to understand that we very literally wouldn't have Widow's Bay without Parks and Recreation, just like we wouldn't have had BSG (2004) without TNG and DS9. Writers, actors, directors, showrunners need to space to stretch out, again.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

this is the ideal newspaper columnist. you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

It's probably easier to just handwave it and move on tbh. Something like, "it's a glitch in the Timeless Child's regeneration" and doesn't count as a result. This is Doctor Who after all, it's one of the few shows that can pull off that kind of ludicrous nonsense.

I think about this Tweet a lot.

tell them there’s a sex criminal in the building

There's a lot to criticize about JJ Abrams but him putting a bunch of random one-scene-wonder background aliens with cool diverse designs is one of the coolest parts of his Star Trek and Star Wars movies. Most of these aliens don't even have names or lore, they just exist and I kinda like that.

Also, can I just say, Bryan Cranston had to do a TON of hard work to make a single character who shows up for one scene and make you feel bad about him dying and the dude NAILED. he did it SO WELL! Like, genuinely, you could see why he'd become a big name later!

Back before Yoda had a confirmed lightsaber so ‘how would Yoda kill’ required other solutions

Anthony Head, best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72

This is crazy if you know anything about anti union a lot of American comic book companies have been historically. www.thepopverse.com/comic-union-...

Well, that sucks.

🥱 Why does Batman not kill the Joker 🥱🥱 Why does Batman not give his money to charity 🤯🤯🤯 :

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

look at him. he doesn't even have any money

Peter Thiel moving to Argentina amidst a crumbling fascist empire kinda writes itself

the problem with the shittiest billionaires getting so directly involved in space is how much it turns off people who just want to be excited by space

Gee, I didn't know about this series. Taking the content of hefty $60 hardcovers and putting it in $14 paperbacks! DC's Compact Comics really really were a pro-consumer initiative that forced other publishers to get on board.

Bring back the network television format! 22/24 x 42-minute episodes, which allowed for important episodes, character episodes, comedy episodes, experiment episodes. Just look at a show like The X-Files. Some of its BEST episodes would be dismissed as filler these days.

There was a period where people kept saying the internet wasn’t real life and then a period where people started to accept that the internet had become real life but I think we’re out of that now and that the internet isn’t real life anymore, it’s some sort of hyperreal zone of impossible terrains

New: Federal agents pulled a gun on neighbors observing an arrest in Washington DC on Tuesday. Witnesses say the agents (from several agencies) were arresting a man for having an open beer. "There's a whole surge, right, that's coming out of the President's office," one agent is heard explaining.

MAGA HEADS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE 🤯 🚨 A new Cato study found immigrants reduced US deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994. Not increased. Reduced. Even undocumented immigrants were estimated to have reduced deficits by at least $1.7 trillion.

Solidarity with E. Jean Carroll and all survivors who face legal retaliation and criminal prosecution for speaking the truth. This is both remarkable and utterly unsurprising. Survivors have been jailed, retraumatized, harassed, and sued into silence for far too long.
