There is great value in laying out the case as clearly and irrefutably as Dan does here.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?

CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Quentin Tarantino Says Rosanna Arquette’s Criticism Of His N-Word Use: β€œShows A Decided Lack Of Class, No Less Honor” Quentin Tarantino shares a brash rebuke of Rosanna Arquette's criticism of the filmmaker's "hall pass" to use the N-word in his films.

Ah yes, Rosanna is the classless one here lol. Tarantino is a truly exhausting and deeply egotistical human.

Da fuq is this circular logic? He wanted to (allegedly) free them from their oppressive regime, but now he’s not going to free them because they’re not behaving to his liking, because they live under an oppressive regime.

Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

Normally when someone is this deluded, you'd ask them to name the president to see how far they're really gone

Sadly pouring salt into the bathtub did NOT transform me into a mermaid, but I was delighted to reminisce about that attempt and talk about one of my favorite movies of all time with @pmiscove.bsky.social for @podcastlikeits.bsky.social πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

SPLASH (1984) not only deserves its place in the National Film Registry but *also* a Criterion edition, so my campaign to write the essay for the latter starts NOW βœ¨πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ

This film is vitally important for the oeuvre of Howard/Hanks, Canadian comedians, and great monster romances:

This week on @podcastlikeits The 1990s Patreon I did a special 80s bonus episode of our Tom Hanks miniseries on Splash w/ comic book writer @racheaissance.com! We talk all things Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Daryl Hannah and mermaids! It’s such a fun episode! Give it a listen! πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ πŸ’¦

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes. (1/3)

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

And STILL didn't show the footage from the recent dignified transfer.

Absolute sick shit from Fox.

Lindsey is particularly blood thirsty for wars he won't be fighting or sending his kids to fight. It's all just a fun game of talking tough by a small man.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
