Boomers lived the best version of the American dream and never let anyone have it again
It's completely deranged how many news outlets are partnering with "prediction markets" which are just gambling with a fancy name. You'd never watch CNN if it were sponsored by roulette or the concept of "double or nothing."
Would love to see NBC display a shred of awareness of the part they play in putting pressure on athletes. They build them up & put cameras in faces constantly, & when it goes badly they oooh about pressure, meanwhile Andrea Joyce is pinning down Ilia Malinin before he’s even processed his loss. -H
bro this lady on Jeopardy was deep in third place going into Final Jeopardy, and she didn’t know the answer so she just wrote “i hope they both bet it all” and the other two guys fucking bet it all and got it wrong and she won

At a time when reality-competition shows are seemingly shying away from casting contestants who are willing to play the villain, The Traitors’s fourth season is illustrating how thrilling a battle of bad versus worse can be.
I have been advocating to transform malls into gen X retirement communities for years. Walk to the movies, grab a pretzel w your friends, check out some records, stare into some Magic Eye holograms at a kiosk, then take an escalator back to your apartment. HOA covers santa’s village for grandkids
Ad I’ve said before, Democrats could really learn a thing or three from Mamdani and his team. Ideas are good! People like policy.
Okay this is a solid LOL. I would cry laughing if he ever did
This is correct!!
Today's #Muppet GIF of the Day is...

"The project—[Bari Weiss's] and that of her backers—is to establish herself and her cohort not as new-right media, but as the new liberal media, staking out the leftmost acceptable position within the new right-wing paradigm." (This is a gift link, from October) defector.com/bari-weiss-s...
On a related note here is a photo of Barbra Streisand’s house.
The universe told Jake Paul “since you won’t shut the fuck up, I guess we’re gonna have to shut you up.” BOOM BOOM POW.
Chuck, it's Mary. Your cousin, Mary Berry. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this! <gentle burble as microphone is stuck into rapidly proofing dough>
congressional republicans are disappointed that the monster they elevated is behaving like a monster
WHEW!!!!!!!!
they're calling it the most load-bearing "if" of all time
I badly want to rewrite that first sentence. "If you ignore 'North,' 'The American President" was next."
Anyway... You're looking at all-timers in like...seven genres or subgenres. He didn't get credit as a great director — zero Oscar nods for directing — because he lacked a "style," but... Man.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
Rob Reiner was one of the perennials, a force in TV and then film and then politics and Los Angeles life for decades and decades. He was the quintessence of Bleeding Heart Liberal Hollywood in the best sense of every word.
May his memory be a blessing.
I’m in. 💔
Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.
For a long time, that was THEE affect that signaled you were a Real Journalist: being savvy and smart enough to know that people with principles were quaint, pitiable little curiosities. And if those people happen to be women, well then they're also just downright childish.
A good next step would... and I know this might sound a wee bit obvious... be to NOT WATCH. To Bari Weiss, your "hate eyeballs" are indistinguishable from "earnestly curious eyeballs." Like unless you're professionally required to watch... this isn't one to gawk at or mock incredulously. SILENCIO.
YES BRAD LFG
the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland
(I’m too lazy to pitch it for the #EHG canon, but I hope someone does!)
