  1. Can't wait to see this one. LA Times: He's made the most incendiary movie of the year. But Paul Thomas Anderson remains an optimist https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/movies/articles/hes-made-most-incendiary-movie-100000774.html
  2. We were upstairs at the Bomb Factory show last night and I made the same comment to my wife. We go to a lot of shows and I couldn't remember many -- if any -- being that loud. We slid back to the upstairs middle to hang with some other friends during the encore and it seemed balanced a little better. Great show, though.
  3. Kimmel’s cancellation confirms what many suspected after Colbert’s Media companies must punish Trump critics if they want their mega-mergers approved. WaPo opinion piece: https://archive.ph/Y2ht1#selection-265.0-279.28 It doesn't really touch on any new ground but I found this eye-opening:
  4. First, They Came for Jimmy Kimmel What happens when comedians are held to stricter standards than vice presidents? https://www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-triad-first-they-came-for?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
  5. Woah ABC Suspends 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Over Charlie Kirk Comments The network’s decision comes after affiliate group Nexstar said it would pull the late-night show. https://apple.news/AGbXKjLlnTBOSD0klUDXFGA
  6. Correct. As @SpiralOutso beautifully spelled it out, if everybody is corrupt they can do ANYTHING.
  7. Oh boy, he’s on one today! https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5507369-donald-trump-joe-biden-jack-smith-charlie-kirk-tpusa-probe/amp/
  8. That's one of the strangest parts of the whole exchange.
  9. Getting back in the saddle tonight with Father John Misty at The Bomb Factory.
  10. Sorry, somebody shared it with me via text. Had no idea there was a paywall. I don't have a Vanity Fair sub either. (I didn't realize it was written by Ta-Nehisi Coates until copypasta.) Here's text:
  11. Great read from Vanity Fair: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/charlie-kirk-ezra-klein-tanehisi-coates?_sp=5f2dad2a-6123-413e-9fdc-056754b781ce.1758118287797 HED: Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
  12. Ding, ding. When they feel confident enough to throw out things like that, makes you wonder where the line would actually be — or if a line even exists in the first place.
  13. When you have an administration and movement that shoots out an unprecedented amount of absolute bullshit 24/7, you'll pardon us when we don't immediately take something that looks fishy AF at face value.
  14. One thing my wife mentioned a few days ago is how fucking fast everything went. Was there a real autopsy? Did they go in and find the bullet that killed him to match it to the weapon he supposedly used? It takes a couple days normally to prepare a body but wasn’t Kirk’s body in AF2 the day after, maybe two days after. I didn’t believe the text exchange. It was too perfect. The law dogs have commented that the death penalty really doesn’t apply here — maybe they know that and are putting it out there to get the kid to get scared, crack and really confess not over a dubious text exchange.
  15. Already posted. Sorry!
  16. Holy fuck, missed this earlier. Kash Patel Says No 'Credible' Info Epstein Trafficked Young Women to Others this AM?!?! https://www.newsweek.com/kash-patel-jeffrey-epstein-files-update-release-vote-2130678
  17. Fuck me -- is Kash Patel wearing a Liverpool FC tie?
  18. I posted it yesterday. My daughter is a sophomore at Ole Miss and one of very few liberals enrolled there, I'm sure. One of her friends posted the story in their group chat and told everybody to be safe. The friend said a black guy "hung himself" from a tree at Delta State and that word was it was an execution (lynching -- my word). Told everybody to stay safe and aware. (I asked if the friend subscribes to our politics and she isn't 100% sure but thinks she's at least moderate if not liberal.) Another friend here in Dallas has posited on social media that three of the hanged kid's limbs were broken. Of course local authorities are specifically saying that none of his limbs were broken and there were no signs of foul play. Sure, Jan. First off, people who commit suicide don't usually do it that publicly and I'm fairly certain black Americans ain't involving no goddamn tree after the history this country has with slavery and lynchings in the South.
  19. Interesting online post from a woman who is in the Texas BBQ/Food Scene. She says Robinson's roommate is transmaxing. I have to admit this part of the incel world is news to me.
