@SteveSm89756169 @maddenifico No, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not promise free grocery stores. Instead, he championed a campaign promise—now a funded city initiative—for five government-subsidized, city-owned grocery stores designed to offer heavily discounted, affordable groceries.

@DEADLINE @werwulfmovie It’s very Eggerly. Might be great. Wouldn’t be my first choice to watch on Christmas Day.

@joelseph @beyoncegarden States that vote reliably for Republican presidential candidates—often referred to as "red states"—have the highest per-capita rates of gun violence in the United States.

This is top tier. I don’t know who wrote this sketch, but the ambition of it suggests, to me, that it may have been submitted as a writing sample in the hopes of being hired to work on the SNL writing staff. That’s just my guess.

@elibrooks0 Could’ve stopped at “Peter Doocy”.

@TheCinesthetic I get why everyone hates it. But I will say this, I had more fun watching this movie than TLJ. Light speed skimming. Run and gun shootouts. I remember laughing out loud at the cut to that one alien screaming its head off. I don’t know. Just being honest. Don’t hurt me.😀

@jatony57 @olivercampbell Fact! (Aw, damn it.)

@OliviaRealMcCoy @VigilantFox Breast cancer treatment has. Between 2010 and 2020 alone, the FDA approved 30 new drugs for breast cancer, contributing to a substantial reduction in mortality.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

@Sadako24M @TheCinesthetic I would actually suggest it’s just the opposite: the movie wasn’t well regarded when it came out, but overt ime has found a much more appreciative audience in a new generation of Star Wars fans – kids especially.

@jayquintana_jr @TheCinesthetic I’ve heard this. But I don’t understand why.

@Coupar__ @VolkaraFrance @TheCinesthetic I believe it’s called “white savior syndrome.” Where a white character is responsible for saving a person of color. A concept that has been deemed racist. I believe it’s based on real life events.

@asoiaf_266AC @TheCinesthetic And how did they get around the fact dragons aren’t real?

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

@TheCinesthetic It’s extraordinary. Best trailer I’ve ever seen.

@perpcopium @TheCinesthetic This! I found myself having fun again, watching a Star Wars movie. Got to learn a little more about Poe. Just a legitimately breezy, fun ride.
