Do these Torre/Hunterbrook reports ever amount to anything? It doesn't seem like anyone has picked up the story?

("when asked if she believed Ms. Noem without a shadow of a doubt, Ms. Britt did not hesitate. “Yes,” she said. “Absolutely.”"....she said. “We need more immigration enforcement.”)

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

It's hilarious that Trump is lazily going through the motions of the National Prayer Breakfast as his cult is planning to erect a literal golden idol of him.

The chair of the first law firm that bent the knee to Trump’s extortion and agreed to do pro bono work for him is featured in the Epstein Files, you say? Huh.

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

Low key one of the smartest decisions I've seen in a recent movie was for the creators of SEND HELP to do a CGI animal, which usually look bad, and add enough cartoonish elements into the design that it emphasizes that it's no longer about realism, and thus any incongruities get erased.

— Peter Labuza (@labuzamovies.com) February 4, 2026 at 8:21 AM

Reminds me of Joe Dante, in the DVD commentary for PIRANHA, mentioning that he put a brief shot of stop-motion animated mini-monster into one scene at a lab just to signal to the audience, “This is the kind of movie this is.”

@spazzatic_studio He did not, in fact, want to go outside ๐Ÿ˜ญ He was literally SCREAMING at the front door wanting to go out. This isn’t premium chihuahua weather, but sometimes he has to see it for himself ๐Ÿ˜… lesson learned, he is no longer asking to go outside. Also in case anybody’s worried my dad didn’t give him a big tug on the neck. His coat has a built in harness, he very gently gave him a little tug on the chest harness and then picked him up instead. #chihuahua ♬ original sound - pink_panther
