the show that stars Tracy Morgan has added Jane Krakowski, Jason Mantzoukas, and Edi Patterson to its cast embrace chaos

The most maddening part of this -- which is saying something -- is that the cop who has torn his town into shreds thinks the remaining residents are cool with him because they smile at him when he walks by. Mind-numbing levels of cope. www.propublica.org/article/depo...

This is a very good story about what 287(g) enforcement looks like on the ground, and the prong of Trump-era immigration enforcement that doesn’t look like ICE agents doing raids on the streets of Minneapolis or Chicago.

(pundits furiously googling to see whether Atlanta has a Cheesecake Factory before deciding whether this is out of bounds)

NATHAN FIELDER: So now that you’ve seen it, can you tell me what was funny about that bit? ELIZABETH HOLMES: *smiling like the Smile Demon from the Smile horror movie series* The guy took a really long time to describe what his family’s act was

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

It’s been out for a week and I think it’s time we all talk about the big reveal in “You Can See Everything”, when Jesse Eisenberg and his crew of heist magicians turn up and reveal it’s the secret fourth “Now You See Me” movie.

Just thinking about the trail of excruciatingly diplomatic rejection letters from major outlets that have to precede a comedy legend’s work appearing in Graydon Carter’s subscription-only newsletter.

I think people should ask Ds running for office how they plan to vote on these bills (there's also a pro-bail bill floating around). You can say "abolish ICE" but what will you do? Will you vote for DHS to create new crime centers for shoplifting and then feign ignorance?

Having said I wanted @johnpfaff.bsky.social ‘s take on the Gladwell LAPD/LASD thing, I didn’t expect to get a response this thorough, this quickly. A 🧵:

I do not think it is unreasonable to ask that we skip the step where the audio gets leaked, and just let everyone dial in to tomorrow’s CBS News morning meeting.

A fun thing to realize is, Jan Crawford has covered the Supreme Court for years -- including recently interviewing Samuel Alito! -- but somehow, that calm, indoor-voice explanation of the Establishment Clause is the one time she's felt the need to reach for the word "diatribe"

Two smaller things I appreciate here: 1. Unless I’m mistaken, there are zero cuts or edits in this? It’s the whole conversation, start to finish. 2. The addition of “or not pray at all” every single time, which a lot of candidates tend to omit.

something I have to try not to think about too often as the parent of a disabled child is the fact that in an active shooter situation she simply would not understand or know what to do or even necessarily follow every direction, and no amount of drilling at school is ever going to change that

Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Lucky for her she still has her legal practice to fall back on.

Wow, so basically this.

This is one step away from having people walk out of the White House behind her carrying boxes of her stuff, and a locksmith hastily changing the locks.

Oh wow they played her off at the end like she was a writer giving an acceptance speech.

People say networks aren’t making great workplace comedies anymore but “boss berates staff one day before being trapped with everyone on a 3-hour morale-building boat ride” is the funniest plotline I’ve heard in years.

It’s like they forgot everything that made the first movie great. (Minnie Driver collecting a paycheck for doing two brief scenes on a phone.)

i love this story so much

Literal flock camera.

It is always a very good week when you can have Stephanie and @noelm.bsky.social and @kaffykim.bsky.social as singing medicine (not candy).

Just thinking for no particular reason about how great Nora Dunn is and was. www.tiktok.com/@marc_shaima...

In an earlier era there would be 20 different blogs scrambling to publish posts titled “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” and Letterman would be making one of his crew go into the store and keep asking “ehhhh… how much for the bird?” Videogum would have a “You Can Make It Up”. We used to be a country.

If you want to hear a judge literally scream at Trump administration lawyers right now, this is… something else.

Patti Harrison as the chaotic non-hippo guest.

It remains very funny to me that there are exactly two places where Francis Ford Coppola will allow people to watch this: In movie theaters or -- the way I saw it -- as an in-flight movie on American Airlines.

"What are we, a bunch of BROWN people?" This is white people doing white people shit. Y'all had picnics under our hanging bodies but sure ok. It's like the Taliban.

Just a reminder that (as noted in the thread) Part I of this fantastic and compelling and is on MUBI, where you can watch it as a five-episode limited series.

I went to check on the latest House and Senate polls and hadn't realized I must still have a bookmark for the NYT's polling page from 2016, because this is what came up, and it's (a) an amazing jump-scare; and (b) honestly a pretty good reminder to approach polls with caution.
