The greatest orator of our times

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Whatever You Think of "Wuthering Heights," We Need More Filmmakers Like Emerald Fennell A look at the career of Emerald Fennell, and the responses to her three films to date.

"Not everything she tries works, but every choice is made with the kind of full-throated commitment to her vision that too many filmmakers lack." yes @lacymb.bsky.social on Emerald Fennell

“War-a-Lago”

By Barry Blitt @newyorker.com

They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesn’t sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world

It’s an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of “my hot girlfriend lives in Canada” being believed by normal people

Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"

This movie is better than I remembered, but also, let's talk evangelical Christianity and modern computer animation, why not?

Let me explain to you why Up is excellent long after the “Married Life” sequence is over, in podcast form!

This week on @podcastlikeits The 2000s @emilystjams.bsky.social and I wrapped up our Pixar miniseries by talking Up with @mousterpiece.bsky.social and @scottrenshaw.bsky.social! We discuss the fantastic voice cast, Miyazaki and the brilliant and heartbreaking opening sequence.

The Mousterpiece Melodies team (@mousterpiece.bsky.social and I) joined @emilystjams.bsky.social and @pmiscove.bsky.social of Podcast Like It's the 2000s to talk about Disney/Pixar's UP. open.spotify.com/episode/7HLU...

Let us pause and ponder the reaction if a Democrat called 6 deaths "light casualties."

Yeah, Orwell said that. I think it's the opening line of his famed "Homage to Catatonia." In his first novel, "The Road To Cory's Leer," he also wrote, "Some things seem to look good from one end of the bar, but if you get close and there's just lip filler and hair extensions? Run the fuck away..."

She’s the entire Village People

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect

Kristi Noem claiming she "ushered in the golden age of travel" is a perfect example of how MAGA is assaulting the plain meaning of words

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

in what world am i supposed to be able to process this

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

Dude is crashing right tf out

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Pure godless evil.

It did??? That’s crazy!

I'm sorry, but I had never seen Human Nature until today, and I was planning to be a good girl and not talk about how trans Kaufman's filmography is, but OH MY GOD THAT MOVIE IS THE TRANSFEMMEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN???

Get ready to get very metatextual next month because @emilystjams.bsky.social and I are diving into Spike Jonze & Charlie Kaufman’s 2000s with some incredible guests on @podcastlikeits The 2000s.

Last week Trump again told Congress and the country that his strikes on Iran last year "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Today he says they were two weeks away from a bomb, something his Administration has not supported with intelligence.

More lies about the war.
