Sometimes you gotta block someone immediately after they follow you to keep things orderly amongst your followers, like publicly shooting a random prisoner to set an example for the other inmates.

like you get the sense that at least as a writer gilligan loves the entire flawed spectrum of human beings and morgan's work, while brilliant, absolutely does not have that problem

vince gilligan's comedic x-files episodes are like darin morgan's if the latter were slightly less contemptuous of humanity in general

Needless to say but it is abundantly clear that this administration is not up to the task of imposing a two state solution onto the Israelis if they cannot even withhold one shipment of bombs which will go towards the murder of children.

New from me: Furiosa is a.) a good movie b.) an attempt to process the dark, weird experience of living in the 2020s c.) an epic in the Beowulf or Gilgamesh mode, d.) all of the above.

The answer, of course, is D. This movie captures RIGHT NOW perfectly.

Imo one of the more under-appreciated things about Peggy Hill that I personally would say puts her a cut above the average middle American Difficult Boomer Mom is how trailer-trash adjacent she is, like, you see how her brother turned out and it contextualizes some things about her station

The latest drone footage from Tesla's Texas "Gigafactory" has all the old familiar hits: multiple uncontrolled fluid leaks (possibly environmental violations), piles of parts staged outdoors in the elements, and an End Of Line "hospital" for especially janky Cybertrucks

Horse drawn buggies had a board just in front of the driver to block mud dashed up (thrown up) by horse hooves. It was called the 'dashboard'. So every use of "dashboard" in cars, apps, whatever: originally referred to a physical board to block horse s&*t from getting in your mouth.

Your first day in the joint, you find the biggest, toughest, scariest man there and you kiss him right on the mouth. Treat him well and be good to him. Mind his affairs and maintain good humors. Big, strong, scary men are hard to find. Keep him interested by Any Means Necessary.

Imagine trading your whole life just to live in this sewer. Waking up every morning & saying "I hope it's a good day for business," not any in particular, just Business. I hope it's a good day for companies. I hope it's a good day for eating flesh. "I need to consolidate" & his heart starts to race

David Zaslav, and everyone like him, would quite literally feed you and your family thru a machine that converted you all into a cheap fuel source if it were legal for him to do so or even just required paying a small fine.

I know St. Anger is probably the most reviled Metallica album but if you are not a fan of the band it’s incredibly funny that every song is eight minutes long with no solos, trash can drums, and lyrics like this delivered completely earnestly.

I’m old enough to remember the New York Times pushing Americans into the Iraq war that killed a million people, greatly weakened our international standing, and diverted vast resources into the pockets of a few billionaires. It’s always been this bad.
