Jen is staying at a hotel with HBO and her parents subscribe to HBO but she cannot watch The Pitt because it’s not on cable apparently. Max is its own stupid thing.

Are we all agreed that streaming sucks? That it is the TV equivalent of self checkout: great for corporate overhead but shitty for everyone else?

Did anyone ever explain to Altman that ChatGPT in a French accent sounds like “chat, j’ai pété”, meaning “hey cat, I farted”?

I’m guessing not.

Re: Fox News wailing about 15-19 year old girls not having babies. Great replacement was always the ideology. They just hadn’t named it yet.

Anyone who did clinic defense in Texas in the 80s and 90s knows that they wailing of protesters varied based on the color of the woman entering the clinic.

What we are seeing, I think, is that the old politics is over, and people are skewing both left and right. But only one of those moves threatens the power base. So the message has to be “you can only move further right.” And that message is being echoed everywhere.

The Greens won against Reform *in Kent*

It's all up for grabs folks.

The myth of Reform's inevitability is just that, a myth. They can be defeated.

It's crazy to me that Amos Gitai is still making films. At this point he is world cinema's version of the "it is fine" dog.

My wife is out of town and the dog is so fucking depressed. He keeps staring at me plaintively like I ought to just magic her up. I can't do that, Jaws. I'm sorry.

“Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep” came on the radio while I was driving. That’s one boppy little number about child abandonment.

Well put, simple and direct. Jeffries, Schumer aren’t going to grow a spine overnight or ever for that matter.

I don’t care about bipartisanship or hands across the isle. Take over and kick their asses; they understand that, start by doing a DOGE on ICE and seizing assets from the Epstein Class

"We don't have the votes" only cuts if you think you're obliged to follow procedure. Sometimes performing the Heimlich maneuver involves cracking a rib or two.

I'm getting to the point where there are no new films I want to see, and so I sort of have to pick up 2025 films I'm obliged by due diligence to see but have no interest in.

Anyone want to convince me that THE LOVE THAT REMAINS or ROMERÍA aren't a drag?

Sure, I spent the '80s watching action movies that were mostly military revenge fantasies about the Middle East. But then I went to college and spent the '90s watching movies mostly about Tehran schoolgirls trying to accomplish various simple tasks. The Iranian New Wave would fix a lot of people.

Here’s another fallacy. Someone talented who died young would certainly have had an illustrious career if they’d lived. That’s the Len Bias.

Too soon?

Here’s a thought: John Cornyn is probably going to lose the runoff to Paxton. So if he ever had a spine to speak of, now would be a good time to find it.
