is that Smithers with his back to us? I'm going off haircut and the fact that he appears to be using his body to shield Mr. Burns from an incoming katana strike

The Atlantic is a legacy publication with such a storied history and it's really sad to see that in the past decade or so they've made the editorial choice to just print the dumbest shit anybody has ever thought of

Ever since, that's what I think of when I see this thing. Of all the things he wrote, Chinatown probably made a bigger impression on me overall, but as someone who lives in the San Fernando Valley that piece of writing is the one that I relate to the most. Anyway RIP dogg thanks for the great movies

15 years ago I exchanged two emails with Robert Towne. I mentioned that I was living in Universal City, trying to find inspiration living in the shadow of the NBC Universal building. He responded, "Try to find a better source of inspiration; I've always thought it looks like a big coffin."

Some MSTie tracked this actor (Bruce J Mitchell, RIP) down online in the early 2000s and interviewed him. He'd never seen the movie, never got paid for it, never heard of MST3k, and had no idea how many hearts Rowsdower touched. He was just doing dinner theater in Canada, living his best life.

Black voters resurrected Biden's primary campaign in 2020. It was one of the biggest come from behind victories in modern political history and all these centrist columnists loved it. And now they're totally uninterested in those voters and their preferences!

Brilliant idea Mr Kristof! we'll just have Sherrod Brown vacate his red state Senate seat to run for president. I'm sure Ohio's Republican governor will appoint a Democrat in his place so as not to threaten our fragile majority, because of civility and norms

The thing that's telling and exasperating about the centrist "Biden must drop out" calls is that... this was their guy! They act like the left insisted on him! But Biden was the guy they were saying Democrats should instead rally around when it looked like we might pick Bernie!

I think Kamala is pretty good and I think her political operation is pretty bad. Her 2020 campaign had the DeSantis problem of being way too online and it sank an otherwise promising candidacy.

So whatever donor cash doesn't get eaten by legal fees is going to an outside organization run by an incompetent grifter, which will then be dispersed to a bunch of independent contractors with little oversight and a general mandate to "get voters to the polls"... Seems bad

maybe I’ve just lost the plot but biden has like a 40 year history of needlessly kicking his own ass in various goofy new ways then popping out the other side giggling like the caddyshack gopher so I dunno what I’m supposed to do as far as freaking out that he’s up to it yet again

I also don't get where the idea comes from that Biden should step aside and therefore deprive the Democrats of incumbency advantage, which is one of the major things he has going for him

I have a podcast about major wide release movies that society collectively forgot. This week we talked about Barnyard, a 2006 animated children's comedy featuring Kevin James, Sam Elliott, and Shaggy which led us into extended discussions of "Animal Farm" and cow afterbirth. I think it's a banger.

While we're talking about reasons young people might move rightward, a few months ago someone noted that for a lot of kids, rage against successful anti-bullying initiatives stopping them from bullying queers like their dads want is effectively their political identity. That's the Republican base.
