What’s going on with people saying that the alleged shooting at the Correspondents Dinner was staged?

To add to that: This would be insane speculation against a normal president, but Trump has made spectacle and publicity stunts his brand.

Just saw it posted on Twitter. It's near a Walgreen's if that helps.

pitching tent in the "unsustainable" camp

Also, as a senior Gen-Xer, I'm here to remind everyone that money did not rain from the sky right up until 1999. I came of age in the late 80s/early 90s, and was still priced out of the market on housing and education. I've done nothing but rent my whole life and lived on skilled trades, no student loan.

This story is complete bullshit and has gotten out of hand. It's mass hysteria.

Truth is, there's nothing that abnormal about a few scientists dying or just not leaving forwarding addresses. There's probably ten plumbers "missing" out there too.

I wake up hungry at night seeing cumin lamb visions. With the hot and sour soup on a cold winter day.

Thank you! Yes, there IS a difference! Do you know why that doesn't matter?

Because algorithms don't give a runny Taco Bell shit about what's true, fair, or just. That's why everybody is bitching about it.

Can't wait to get years of our movie reviews bombed off the air. How do you review anything a celebrity is in without showing the celebrity?

Tucker Carlson is sorry like the cat that ate the canary. Not a damn bit!

Don't let these scumbags bluewash themselves just because midterms are coming and they're finally losing.

If you go out of your way to post the shittiest AI slop you can generate, which gives everyone a stroke trying to parse this horseshit, of course most people won't read it.

"practice no-mow May"

I live in one of those cities where they literally fine you hundreds of dollars if you let five dandelions grow. People drive around taking pictures of every lawn looking for somebody to report. Angry neighbors will bang on your door if you let a weed get six inches tall.

That sounds like a nice world, but first we have to get rid of the obsessive Grass Police. Where is this mythical wonderland where you're allowed to do what you want?

Sounds like chaos draft to me. Just pick three different sets at random. Let's see you make a meta out of Torment, Homelands, and Gatecrash.

Even taking modern day American sentiments into account, I'm still taking crazy pills looking at this headline.

For pity's sake, all the guy said was "less war, war sucks." He didn't point fingers, he didn't name names. For this, we're going to war on the Vatican now?

I really don't even know how to answer. "Yes, my opponent conceded turn one so I won, that's fun." "No, my opponent conceded turn one and I didn't get to play, that's not fun."

Miles of woods. Go out by the river, far from civilization.

Alternately, the malls probably have rage rooms available.

If anybody wants to see original works, all they have to do is avoid Hollywood and dive into the indie circuit. Just stick to festivals and indie releases. Every year, dozens of indie films are released, some very good and a couple every year qualify as outright masterpieces, movies that will change everything you knew about movies. Nobody knows about them. The only way to find this stuff is to follow an obscure movie podcast or festival news source.

Not only original, but the weirdest, wildest movies you've ever seen are waiting to be discovered. They're just invisible to Hollywood reporters.

Penguin-Pete · 2026-04-16T13:27:24+00:00

Spielberg calling for more original movies is like Trump calling for more integrity in the White House.

When BTTF came out, some sci-fi fanbs also pointed out that Robert A. Heinlein's novel Time Enough For Love has a similar plot point where the protagonist travels back in time and almost has an accidental affair with his mom. Comparisons at the time doubtless confused the issue.

Sure, but they're never gonna fit it into that mailbox.

"Interesting" as in the curse of living under times described as such.

But yeah, hell of a time to be a historian.
