I need new podcast recs.

I’m a true crime and paranormal girlie who regularly listens to TCO, Morbid, and Dateline.

My second favorite genre is whatever you call You’re Wrong About and it’s extended cinematic universe (American Hysteria, Maintenance Phase, and If Books Could Kill).

I was out at a club last night to see one of my current favorite DJs. A 20-something asked to connect on IG. I figured why the heck not? He probably had a nice little surprised this morning when he realized I’m 43. Anyway…still got it! 🤣🤣

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago.

Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.

"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."

"That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

I thought the general public would be a little more worked up about a constitutional crisis.

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.

The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

*whispers* I’m so sorry but this article is correct.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

“I believe it is”? What!??

You are the treasury secretary! If you don’t know then who knows!?!

Today was a good day. A hopeful day. I’m gonna file this one away because I’ll need it

You know what? Hell yeah…

And fuck Storm Thurmond.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

If someone performs on SNL, stays for the curtain call, says something to the host then walks off stage for the camera to see….they’re doing it for attention. Maybe don’t give it to him.

“We preface everything with an admission that our opponents are right and somehow we’re losing the messaging war. We don’t understand why this isn’t working.”

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

My villain origin story, honestly.

I’ve triple checked the members of a WhatsApp group chat before sending a brunch invite.

Like…what is going on!? I’ll never get over how embarrassing and dangerous this administration is.

Juju take my ACL. I don’t need it!

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Whatever happened to “Hi”, “Hello”, “How are you?”, “My name is…”?

Its reply history is hilarious.

Happy for Lando. Happy for George. That’s my F1 analysis for the night.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

OK. But how? Leadership won’t listen to constituents. They only listen to donors and consultants.

I spent years volunteering, working on campaigns, and donating money. It feels like party abandoned me. So I’m genuinely asking: how does it get fixed?

But do they taste delicious? 👀👀

At this point, the Dems have become a party of flailing useless babies who refuse to fight and will preemptively bend the knee to Trump, Elon and GOP. So — I’m asking honestly — what’s the point of this party anymore?

This is precisely why I won’t be giving another dime to the Democratic Party. If they won’t fight for us, why should I give them my money?

I haven’t seen this date circulated widely but Chuck is promoting his book in SF on 3/22. Just saying…

None of these Democrats should enjoy a moment's peace.

Cortez Masto (NV)
Durbin (IL)
Fetterman (PA)
Gillibrand (NY)
Hassan (NH)
Peters (MI)
Schatz (HI)
Schumer (NY)
Shaheen (NH)

They've effectively just voted for Donald Trump's agenda without putting up a fight. Never let them hear the end of it.
