Just wanted to pop in and congratulate Dementia J. Trump on becoming the first American president to lose a war

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor.

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

@brenonade Should it surprise anyone that this pig eats with his mouth open? I grew up very poor but was taught manners.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

Of all the things Trump should go to jail for, and will one day, how does he not get impeached and go to jail for this immediately? How? https://t.co/aI24ddpysO

About $1.5 million was spent securing the music rights for Goodfellas, and every dollar of it paid off.

When Goodfellas hit theaters, what truly separated it from other crime films wasn’t just the performances or the story — it was the music. Martin Scorsese reportedly spent around $1.5 million securing music rights, a massive gamble at the time, but it became one of the film’s greatest strengths.

Rather than relying on a traditional score, Scorsese built the movie around real songs from the eras it moves through. As Henry Hill climbs deeper into the mob world, the soundtrack evolves with him — shifting from upbeat doo-wop and girl groups of the 1950s into darker rock tracks of the ’70s and ’80s as his life begins to unravel.

Songs from artists like The Rolling Stones, Cream, and Derek and the Dominos don’t just sit in the background — they shape the scenes themselves.

One of the best examples is the famous “Layla” piano outro sequence. As Layla plays over the discovery of bodies after the Lufthansa heist, there’s barely any dialogue, yet the music communicates everything: the paranoia, the fallout, and the deadly consequences of greed.

Then there’s the legendary Copacabana tracking shot, where Henry leads Karen through the back entrance of the club. The smooth, dreamlike music makes the entire moment feel seductive and glamorous, pulling the audience directly into Henry’s world.

That’s why the $1.5 million wasn’t just an extravagant expense — it was part of the storytelling itself. The soundtrack acts almost like a narrator, marking shifts in time, mood, and character without ever needing exposition.

A lot of films have great soundtracks, but Goodfellas uses music with precision. Every song feels purposeful rather than simply chosen. Decades later, it remains one of the clearest examples of how the right soundtrack can elevate a film from great to unforgettable.

West Ham ⚒. Why do you do this to us? Why would having a heart attack feel preferable to the feeling I have right now? I can't watch the game today. I just can't. Please wake me up in 6 weeks time, I'll have come out of hiding by then. 🤞🏽🤜🏽🪵

Been to many huge games over the years, 2006 FA Cup final, that final day at Old Trafford, 2012 play-off final, Prague… but today tops the lot for nerves I’ve felt before a game. Huge one this, please turn up West Ham.

Human DOINGS vs human BEINGS.

For 200 years the economy needed us to be doings.

Output. Hours. Hustle.

The machine is the first thing in history that can carry the doing — so we can finally get back to the being.

Most people will fight this.

The first movers will receive it.

@historyinmemes While the engineering is remarkable, just think of the labor and the processes it would take with today's equipment, never mind back then. How they did it, that's what I want to see. And how many people gave their lives while trying to do this?
