Originally, in the scene after JLo and him walk into the hotel room and start getting undressed instead of cutting away all classy they meticulously build the same fuck-gizmo together and talk about the places they wish they could travel to. Great writing, would have added 3 hours to the film. 2/2

A lot of people don’t know that the inspiration for George Clooney’s sex-contraption from Burn After Reading came from a scripted but not filmed bit from Soderbergh’s Out of Sight. 1/2

All that’s been missing from Wrexham/Chelsea is a fist fight and it sort of feels like that could still happen.

Wemby looked to be extra careful positioning for rebounds last night.

In exciting news from my home dimension, Will Smith has been cast in the Wallace Shawn role and will be doing his own unique interpretation of Mark Knoffler/Willy Deville’s ineffable romantic mainstay closing credits song, “Storybook Love”! Can’t wait!

I mean, it is an obvious observation made many times already, but how would a takeover of the US government by the Russian mob (specifically crafted by Semion Mogilevich, the Russian boss of bosses who knew Putin in the 90s and was an early buyer into Trump Towers) differ from the present sitch?

Former OK State Superintendent Ryan Walters is totally going to run for Markwayne’s seat and it is going to be as funny as it could be given that he still might have a chance to win.

Though this photo of Yao Ming and assorted other delegates to the National People’s Congress of China dates from last year, he stares through wearied eyes above and over the camera with the urgency of today. With a slightly unfamiliar roundness to his face (not particularly evident under his dark), there is an air of modern-day Brendan Fraser to him. Both have seen and lived through greatness and absurdity coupled tightly.

I bear witness to haggard, middle-aged Yao Ming. (From here, photo credits in alt text: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...)

I have a marginally credible claim to have brought the phrase "Republican death cult" into modern parlance via a comment board post about the financial crisis in 2008 that got linked to by a major blog at the time (by a guest editor).

A squirrel digging into the snow facing away from the camera, glancing back out of the side of one eye with an arresting expression that says, "I know you're looking at my squirrel butt and I like it." Whatever he is digging and eating is suspiciously piss-coloured because squirrels are rodents and are at least a little disgusting.

A squirrel, gray with a red back, hood, and snout, sitting in the snow facing to the right. Its expression isn't exactly grim but serious, a creature at work and observing but not relating to the camera. Since it is cold it is very fuzzy and chubby.

Squirrel no moose.

The former members of Das Racist suddenly get the tingles and their dreams are soon haunted by reunion ideas.

I think that Guy Ritchie made his new show so that someone could realistically use “Hung Sherlock” as their handle on this website.

Can you imagine how ludicrously calamitous things would be if the US didn’t have clear, specific, and realistic plans on securing Iran’s enriched uranium and preventing civilian casualties? That would be such a grimly absurd world!

Wemby drawing two fouls on Drummond in three seconds, forcing him out in the first two minutes on a night when Embiid is out, must have been infuriating to Sixers fans. Such a Pop player.

Huh, Iran is 17th among countries in both size and population. It is about three times larger in land area than Afghanistan and four than Iraq, with a population about equal to those two combined.

Screwing up my first Relooted mission just enough to have a bit right on my heels as I entered the go-away van was literally pulse-poundingly exciting.

i cannot characterize the strikes as anything but revealing an exterminationist mindset. the goal is not an iran that can "exist as a reasonable partner within the international system". the goal is to make iran cease to exist and to condemn the region permanently to poverty, violence, and ruin.

I almost think he deserves a Peace Prize for how much the world will be brought together in joy on the day it happens.

The prologue for Relooted is quite excellent, smooth parkouring and a pretty 2.75D (3d models and backgrounds but 2D movement) visual experience. It is also getting review bombed by just the worst people.

I see so many people spiraling out on this site over minuscule differences in politics and I find it sad since people should spiral out about me getting the exact amount, type, and frequency of attention I want at any given moment rather than issues of lesser consequence.

I wish every time I got a cut, a new finger burst out of the split skin and wiggled with joy as a new born hydra. I don't have particularly attractive fingers—they are stubby and crooked and bumpy and scarred—but maybe if over a lifetime I grew thousands more I would come to appreciate them better.

Bleakly holding down a key, the cicadic drone pulsing but otherwise defined by the smoothest lines of frequency, constantly moving towards nothing, no build, just the background noise growing louder and louder til you reach for your neck for an expected bomb collar.

Geopolitical events being what they are, the Pakistani streaming site Tamasha suddenly switching from Pakistan’s current T20 Cricket World Cup match to a screen reading, “CONTENT CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE” with Balatro’s CRT setting amped to 100%.

I know Jokic seems pretty laid back and a little soft but the expression he gave Jalen Williams after the flagrant from Dort was wild murderous, suddenly making you remember that he is a big, big man.

A merger is still almost a certainty, barring the unlikely and massive shift to prop rep. In a proportional representation system, the incentive switches to breaking up and starting new parties. If that were to happen, my prediction would shift to the Greens breaking up within ten years.

Because they will otherwise be three people short of obtaining power. I realise that you are being snide and I can understand folks in the UK feeling defensive about all this. It is more likely that the combined party would retain ‘Labour’ even if it was taking over a runt. 126 of invested meaning.

Here is a sure to be non-controversial take on UK politics: in ten years, Labour and Green will merge either entirely or through a structured coalition partnership due to the pressures of Duverger’s Law. This will also happen with the Tories and Reform.

The only grey cloud on what will be a gloriously sunny day, that day when it happens, will be how happy it will make his children.
