“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

YES. Let snobs be snobs, I say!

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Apropos of nothing, here's a Viola Davis red carpet interview that popped into my head this morning.

Update: At least Homer never had bandwidth problems.

A fascinating contrarian view of The Odyssey. I disagree with some of this, but I certainly can't argue with the bona fides of its author. (Also, given that the London Review of Books website is currently down, this seems to be the most traffic the website has received in quite some time.)

If you, like me, have been wondering why the LAX people mover still hasn’t opened, and you can feel this wonder threatening to creep into a fist-shaking obsession every time you have to interact with the airport, this video lays it all out. (TL;DW: The contractors have been god-tier assholes.)

For those of you who are still over there because of "the reach" or "the discourse" or whatever.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

ICE has been in San Fernando Valley, CA every day now for the last couple weeks targeting Panorama City, Pacoima, Van Nuys and surrounding areas likely working out of their new field office in Van Nuys.

For box office nerds, this solves a nagging mystery. For any human person who uses the internet, this is a perfect test case for how little prepared we are for what AI is doing to the internet.

This is still true!

#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward

It's been fixed.

Got the tickets, but no one needs this kind of blood pressure spike in 2026.

Presales for the L.A. run of OH, MARY! started today. Waited 45 minutes in a queue, got kicked off the site once for wanting to look at mezzanine seats, made it all the way to purchasing seats and got kicked off again, now the entire website has crashed. Mary Todd Lincoln would be FURIOUS.

I don't know who needs to read this right now, but you do not need to publish that take on that movie. You really don't!

Alamo's really muddied their whole thing with the mobile ordering, but I will excuse just about anything to get these theaters back open. Thrilling. THRILLING!
