I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.

The MTV Loveline to crank pipeline is two for two, huh?

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

Krystel V. McNeil as social worker Kiara Alfaro on the TV series ‘The Pitt’

Also can we talk about Becca Blackwell and Krystel V. McNeil as social workers on ‘The Pitt’? With just a little bit of screen time, both deliver the unmistakable energy of realworld SWs.

Per the 2013 report upthread, we know that false claims that people were trying to ram agents are a longstanding practice

As a nerd who knows the novel well, I can report that Paul Atredies in ‘Dune’ is an impossible role and Chalamet making it work is astonishing.

I’m not sure he is a great actor, quite, but he is a good actor who knows how to use his uncanny screen presence as an instrument.

It is increasingly apparent that since the show would not have happened without Wyle to anchor it, he has elected to use his leverage to ensure that the actors get to do their jobs properly

All of Fig’s choices are wrong but it gives me an excuse to praise how smart & fun ‘Nightmare On Elm Street III: Dream Warriors’ is.

Plus a special jury prize just for the tagline for ‘Weekend At Bernie’s 2’: “Bernie is back, and he’s still dead.”

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Headline is evergreen.

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

These 90 seconds alone would be sufficient cause to impeach the President & VP and fire anyone appointed by the maniacs who put this guy in a position of authority

Authoritarianism doesn’t just reward loyalty over competence. It prefers incompetence because competent people have alternatives.

I do find the finale of BREAKING BAD to be surprisingly toothless, but if you find him cool and aspirational during any point in the show's run, you are already a total media illiterate.

You can't make art with the world's dumbest people in mind or you'll never make anything truly great.

That was not a cat.

The acting on ‘The Pitt’ is stupefyingly good.

I just had to roll back S2E09 to hear Rusty Schwimmer as clerk Monica Peters delivering her one-word line reading of “Rabinovitch” three or four times. A symphony.

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

I wish I did not have so many occasions to think of it

Any time a cop says "I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here", that cop has already made up his mind as to what's going on and he's already decided on his plan for what he's going to do about it.

Josh’s “monkey’s paw urbanism” is depressingly real and I hate it.

“I want delivery companies to use cargo e-bikes in cities.”

*Amazon deploys cargo e-bike trucks, parks them in bike lanes*

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
