@racheline_m How the HBO / Max thing happened in a universe where Cinemax still exists is beyond me. (As is how HBOmax wasn’t a HBO Cinemax merge to begin with.)

Like—I get it is real and exists. But how’d Cinemax let that happen!?!!

I just want to clarify that this flashing strobe light is being projected onto a rent-controlled apartment with a fair number of elderly residents. You know, just in case you were wondering if it could get worse.

Reminder that before 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. Reagan's SEC opened the floodgates to their abuse.

Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy.

They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.

Only in America do we call working people “essential” but deny them sick leave, health care, and a living wage.

Democrats after McConnell suffers potential stroke/absent seizure mid-press conference: “I wish him well and hope he is okay.”

Republicans after Nancy Pelosi’s husband is hit in the head by an assailant with a hammer: “It was probably his spurned lover that he met at a gay bar.”

If the CEO of McDonalds stopped working, the company would still make money.

If the cooks stop working, McDonalds wouldn’t make a dime.

Don’t tell me those cooks don’t deserve a living wage.

Just so everyone knows, if anyone ever stops speaking like that and freezes, call 911. Don’t mess around. Don’t waste time. That person needs a stat head CT.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but is at least providing comedy hour

[MZS @mattzollerseitz]

My gut feeling is, major entertainment companies (mainly Netflix; everybody takes their marching orders from them, it seems) will barely notice or comment on what happened at the box office this weekend, much less draw the correct inference and settle with the writers and actors.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

Met a 73 year old woman today.

Her spouse died and she was unable to pay rent after his passing. She was a housekeeper and he was a gardener.

She now lives in a park.

She's on 11 different wait lists for senior housing and has been waiting for 2 years.

The killing heat has arrived. People are literally being burned alive, collapsing on sun-scorched surfaces and dying from extreme burns because surfaces are just that hot.

Yes, really. This isn't dystopian fiction, it's our reality. And it's only going to get worse. 1/6

40 senators have sponsored a bi-partisan bill forcing you to upload your drivers license before being able to post to the internet and viewing content

It's called the "Kids Online Safety Act" (KOSA)/ Senate Bill 1409

KOSA ties your content on twitter, meta, reddit, etc back to your name and address

-It completely removes anonymity when you post
-they'll know your history
-they'll limit access to information and content (xxx, medical info, gun safety info, dissenting content, etc)
-and it gives the attorney general the right to sue Meta, Twitter, TikTok, etc if they're not following this

It's always under the guise of "protecting the children"

If you don't think this can pass, then you've been asleep. States have already been passing bills this year at record pace linking your drivers license to your ability to watch spicy content, why not on a federal level but take it a step further?

This isn't a left issue, a right issue, this is a speech issue. Call your Senators and demand they don't support Senate Bill 1409

It’s weird that we do this thing every few years where a major movie targeted first & foremost at women opens above/around $150 million (TWILIGHT, THE HUNGER GAMES, CAPTAIN MARVEL, and now #Barbie, etc.) and people once again act surprised that girls like going to the movies too

[Cate @supergayscripts]

Can we stop saying ‘Greta Gerwig scores biggest opening wkend ever for female director’ and start saying Greta Gerwig scores bigger opening weekend than any man this year - and most other years too. It’s the 24th highest opening in HISTORY. It’s bigger than TOP GUN MFING MAVERICK

Reminder that Medicare for All would level the playing field for small businesses and would even allow people the freedom to start their own businesses.

Healthcare shouldn’t be tied to employment.

[Ben Wexler @mrbenwexler]

The left is calling for greater investment in renewable energy and the right is burning Barbies, shooting Bud lights, and touting the upsides of slavery, so I can see how both sides are to blame for all this polarization

[Quinton Reviews @Q_Review]

There's something very funny about how Mattel let the filmmakers use the most obscure Barbie characters, thus turning them all into fan-favorites, and then they decided to just not re-release those to tie-in with the movie. Like, "No, we discontinued Allan for a reason."
