Independent movie theaters continue to be a vital asset to their communities, with a 9% increase in business in 2025 according to a new survey.

25% of those surveyed said they first began going to their preferred art house theaters within the last three years. These new art house moviegoers had an average age of 40, 11 years younger than the average age of all those surveyed, which is 51. Of those recent attendees, 68% were younger than 45.

"The problem with Patel’s social media announcement, the sources say, was the case had been sealed in court and roughly ten suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel made his public social media post." (!!!!)

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…

Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?

MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us

“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Nothing better than a summer Spielberg movie night in a packed theater with friends!

Steven thank you for all of the hours of joy that you have given us in the cinema!! It has been a great honor and pleasure to have worked with you and to call you my friend.

Congratulations to my dear friend Emily and the entire group of artists that created this movie. You were superb.

We all loved Disclosure Day!!

Trump has now used the Situation Room to coordinate the Epstein cover-up.

To Trump, the real national security emergencies are planning illegal wars and covering up the evidence of his longtime involvement with the Epstein network.

Probably the most important graph explaining California’s housing crisis.

Construction costs are up 53% since January 2019. Interest rates are up from 2.7% to 4.1%.

This is why a San Francisco report recently found that most housing projects are no longer feasible.

Per the FBI, Trump knew and funded underage sex parties in Palm Beach.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

there’s a kernel of truth here in that most Union soldiers didn’t really care about slavery until they got down to the South and saw it firsthand, at which point they had to be regularly stopped from lynching the Plantation owners

[Nicole Minét @mouvement33]

🚨BREAKING: Epstein file says Trump knew about underage sex parties occurring at his golf course and that revenue from the club was used to fund them.

Trump has known for days this was about to be published in his home state of Florida.

The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out."

Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it."

The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened.
When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time.

The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie."

This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.
