3x Fantasy Football 5th place finisher, not very funny on here. Co-host @schraderbros. I write a blog on Star Trek:

Fuck it, X-Files watch thread

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

Love this almost Biblical view of the New York Times, an all seeing eye that knows the hearts of all men and how to kill the righteous ones

[Marshall Steinbaum 🔥 @Econ_Marshall]

The Times wouldn’t be doing this if he were a secret Fetterman.

“Fucking idiot gets duped by another fucking idiot” describes all of American politics rn

[Emily Jacobs @emilyfjacobs]

New: Sen. John Fetterman is growing increasingly concerned that Trump may make a deal with Iran

JF to @jewishinsider: "Nuclear dust, that’s the reason why we’re here. This is why I was reasoned and OK with setting myself politically on fire to be the only Democrat for the last 90 days voting against these war powers acts. Presidents always talk about their legacy. At this point, if you cave just for political convenience, what kind of legacy is that?"

Here is the issue: you all suck at everything and have no artistic vision

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Imagine if conservatives, rather than pathetically crawling around on the ground to lap up discarded pop culture crumbs, actually went out and advanced their own creative and artistic vision. Imagine if we used an event like this to actually elevate our own artists and make them famous. What a crazy thought.

Preening faux intellectual remains annoyingly superior even while dying: many such cases

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. https://t.co/3lNk3yYBza

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

He probably should have said this to Abrams instead, who wrote a script where Luke’s been missing for like two decades and ends with finding him stuck on an island in exile

[Best of Star Wars @bestofstarwar]

“I said to Rian Johnson, ‘Jedi don’t give up.’ I mean, even if he had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup. But if he made a mistake, he would try and right that wrong. So right there, we had a fundamental difference.”

-Mark Hamill

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

It’s actually about the Saw movies. Yeah I can see how an insane person would think what you thought but it’s about the Saw movies

[Bathhouse Agitator @gusselsprouts]

you already know that this some elongated take on how being against genocide or criticizing the Democratic Party is just like being Jigsaw

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

Meek’s Cutoff is a very prescient and insightful film

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

I have had multiple Republican staffers over the last year flat out vent their frustration that the person they work for complains about Trump in private and then is a lapdog in public.

There are multiple Senators would vote convict & remove in a blind vote but are too cowardly to do it otherwise.

And frankly I think that’s disqualifying.

If you’re too scared to do your job, you should resign.

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

Was quite literally an alliance of liberals and communists that stopped fascism and every communist and liberal these days is devoted to making sure such an alliance never happens again

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Communists stopped the Holocaust and this isn’t in question among the literate

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

@BrndnStrssng at least there you can block the guy, unlike here

[mad men pics @madmenpics]

“Person to Person”
(Season 7, Episode 14)

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

His examples of this are The Witch Trials of JK Rowling (billionaire complains about being “cancelled”) and The Twitter Files (boring internal debates about content moderation) lmao

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

It's really fascinating that Bari Weiss has so few awards in a field known for giving awards to everyone even while her org has broken multiple culture-changing stories

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

Donald Trump illegally ended SNAP and WIC payments last night, which shove many Americans into literal starvation

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

Got the list of programs affected in the memo - it includes SNAP and WIC. Literally taking food away from hungry families. Completely unconscionable.

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

Donald Trump illegally ended Medicaid last night, which is likely to kill many poor and elderly people across the country

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Multiple states locked out of Medicaid portal. This is a Trump shutdown, except this time it’s unlawful.

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

I have no real words for what his work means to me that wouldn’t take days to express. He felt immortal, his work actually is

[The Film Stage 📽 @TheFilmStage]

David Lynch has died at 78, per Sabrina Sutherland.

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

@mattyglesias in this thread Jain lays out a sort of frustration with the modern fecklessness and consultancy based nature of Democratic policymaking, idk how you read it as "went too far left" unless that is your own complaint and you are just trying to say it's at the root of all problems

[Intrinsically Profane @schraderbros]

We here at the pod endorse the stupidity of this website, but emphasize the brilliance of Raging Bull

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

[Scooby Doom @MayorEsquire]

This dumbass site may throttle links but a new episode of Intrinsically Profane is in the replies here; have you all heard about Raging Bull

time for my favorite year-end prompt to ask:

*what were your Revelatory Rewatches of the year?* brief explanations encouraged!!

& what about the opposite? were there rewatches that were a disappointment or didn't hit the same?
