Fair play, 'the mad emperor started compulsively buying shoes for his court, guessing their foot size & his courtiers were too scared not to wear them even when they didn't fit' is some classic, on the nose End Days Of The Empire stuff

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Problem Child | Eli Cugini Pixar isn’t just dithering about diversityβ€”it has become visibly scared of children themselves.

very excited for this to be out in the world: i wrote about repressed queerness in Elio, child surveillance in Inside Out 2, the post-Lasseter crisis, and the figure of the child in Pixar for The Baffler

I think Timothee Chalamet is upset that his primary audience is women. Men are not his fans, and he resents that.

It’s like Joe Jonas all over again.

some people see books as entertainment and other people see books as wily enemies to be humiliated, outfoxed, and defeated

Why does this bell pepper look like it wants to start haggling me about latinum and the Rules of Acquisition?

Back to watching the animated Watchmen. I just realized Laurie isn’t smoking like a chimney in this version either.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I think the breakfast scene is the one of the best moments of quick characters development in a movie.

Watching a bunch of space disaster movie moments, and now I’m wondering why my dad put his 3 year old in front of Apollo 13???

Yes, I watched the whole movie.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

My local Girl Scouts did this and they also take venmo. They might as well have reached directly into my wallet.
