I'm not reposting that vile RFK JR clip but man, his dad would hate him.

These two should make one thousand romance movies together

Do you ever think about Rob Reiner and get very sad all over again.

Election Officials Warn That Ballots Tied To Stray Cat Unlikely To Arrive In Time https://theonion.com/election-officials-warn-that-ballots-tied-to-stray-cat-unlikely-to-arrive-in-time/

FLASHBACK: “No puppet.” Russia was never a hoax. Hillary warned us.

imagine losing your job with $100k on your credit card

We celebrate Eva Marie Saint, who died today at 102. A #SagAftraMember since 1947, Saint won an Oscar for her film debut in 'On the Waterfront' and starred in 'North by Northwest.' An advocate for organized labor, she leaves an enduring example for generations of union members.

Saw her give a talk after a screening of NORTH BY NORTHWEST in the 2010s. So delightful, especially when calling out Ben Mankiewicz for some lengthy interview questions. RIP to a screen legend. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

In spite of being of the correct generation to have grown up while "Peanuts" was still in active publication, it's always a little surreal to be reminded that the most popular comic strip in the English-speaking world for fifty solid years was about an eight-year-old with clinical depression.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

With regard to the overt and jaw-dropping use of public money to manufacture and broadcast Trump politicals ads, I'm just spitballing here, but maybe, perhaps, if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't give the president blanket immunity from prosecution for crimes he wouldn't feel so comfortable criming.

Thou shalt not use tax dollars to pay for fascist commercials.

But the show I want to single out—the one on my personal 10-shows ballot that did not make the list at all—is this beautiful, and apparently now largely forgotten, creation. Do yourself a favor and seek it out. (86 Ted Lasso to make room for it.) www.nytimes.com/2016/10/26/a...

Try to live the kind of life that will make war criminals hate you.

RIP Patricio Guzman, brilliant Chilean filmmaker. Today I rewatched Nostalgia for the Light, his poetic documentary of exploration and destruction, life and death, earth and sky. (And yes I choked up yet again.) www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/m...

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

There is no end to this cat's lies

If you want to celebrate this 21st night of September properly *and* you abhor the Oxford comma I have great news: Per their website, the proper typography for the band is EARTH, WIND & FIRE.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Even if you think you know the whole Kennedy Center story, this is enlightening and enraging. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/u...

White House correspondents, D.C. bureau chiefs, and media execs: The German government expelled Dorothy Thompson from the country in August 1934. She's remembered and respected today for her important coverage and analysis over the next decade of the German regime. Be like Dorothy Thompson.

When Alito resigns if the Democrats don’t stuff that nomination next to the arc of the covenant until 2029, I’m gonna lose my shit.

RIP Bob Mackie, genius.

I loved eating Chik-Fil-A. Can't remember the last time I ate there. I used to go to Hobby Lobby weekly. Haven't walked into one in over a decade. I enjoyed Harry Potter, past tense. My life is not wanting of joy without these things the way it would be without all my LGBTQIA+ friends. Choose love.

Okay we all know what to do with this. We promote the hell out of the interview.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

When I said things couldn’t get dumber it wasn’t meant to be a dare

Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day 🛠️

This archival interview we did with Gloria Steinem is so funny and insightful and powerful: www.motherjones.com/politics/199...

You know, there are nice upstanding people who have fucking morals out here not working who would love to be given another chance to work again. I’m sick to fucking death of seeing people who are admired turn out to be complete and total pervy assholes.

Okay. Dammit.

I want to say that I wish she hadn't died while so much of what she fought for is under attack, but the things she fought for were never NOT under attack and she understood better than most that the fight never stops. What a legend.

Icon.

Breaking News: Gloria Steinem, the feminist crusader who galvanized the modern women’s movement, challenged sexist assumptions and fought for gender equality, has died at 92. nyti.ms/4cVollO

“‘Jolene’ is a murder ballad whose victims all survive, a cry of revenge in the face of betrayal that puts a woman in charge and unexpectedly creates a bond between two rivals.” Ann Powers on Dolly Parton's American songbook: www.npr.org/2026/08/26/n...

“Don’t dream it, be it” could have been Dolly’s motto too.
