This is Jan 6 insurrectionist and former member of the West Virginia House @DerrickEvans4WV asking the tough questions. We live in the dumbest fucking timeline in human history brought on by the dumbest fucking people in our society.

@ForecasterEnten I think he just stopped pretending to be a Democrat. It must have been exhausting to maintain that ruse for so long.

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

@RollingStone Sounds like he's been taking victim lessons from Russell Brand. "It's been so hard for ME, these consequences of my own actions!"

Dave Grohl said he has been going to therapy "six days a week" and discussed the reaction to his admission of infidelity in a new interview. More: rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

@BestMovieMom Tough day at work.

Sandra Bullock admitted she had a crush on Keanu Reeves while filming Speed (1994). “I was thinking about how to make him laugh and be impressed. I realized years later he was doing the exact same thing.”

@jbienkahn When you get a manuscript filled with em dashes...

This is extremely big and public and humiliating for this writer, but just know: I’m also privately cancelling each and every writer who pitches me with AI (and I’m sure many other editors are too)…

@NME I'm always amazed at the acrobatics a celebrity will engage in to try and twist some shitty thing they did into some shitty thing that happened to them.

Dave Grohl “had to turn everything off” after public admission of infidelity: “I’ve been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks” The Foo Fighters frontman said he "needed to stop and sit with myself and re-evaluate myself" nme.com/news/music/dav…

@ExxAlerts This is the most bizarre, hilarious thing I've ever seen.

ALERT: 73-year-old British rapper passes out mid-performance while suspended in midair. Pete Bowditch, from the rap group Pete & Bas, was performing in Chicago, Illinois, when he lost consciousness in the middle of a concert. It is suspected that the harness cut off circulation, which caused him to pass out. The group's management company stated, “We would like to apologize for last night’s show; the good news is Pete is now in a stable condition.” They refunded everyone at the show and plan to continue their European tour as scheduled.

@WallStreetApes The issue should not be some navigation of the interest. This is a Federal loan for people to educate themselves. And educated populace is a valuable national resource. There shouldn't need to be ANY interest on student loans. The system's a scam...as always.

American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments - She took out a $49,548.74 loan - She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36 - Her current balance is $50,121.33 So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out “It's all such a scam”

@CinemaTweets1 This is the film The Departed wanted to be - but wasn't. Not sure how you can rave about Penn when Gary Oldman absolutely owned this film. This movie's on my top 10 of all time.

State of Grace deserves a mention on my timeline this week. Sean Penn has absolutely no business whatsoever being this good in this movie. He’s so god damn good here, it shouldn’t be allowed. Combine that with Ed Harris, Gary Oldman & my boy John Turturro- you get a massive hit.

@yesknow @Rainmaker1973 Even if you don't account for the millions of trees they would have needed, and a method for pumping billions of gallons of water uphill, you'd still have to explain those pulleys, which the ancient Egyptians didn't have. There's a bunch of other issues, but this is just too dumb

@enews Why is someone firing a machine gun at her?

Ready or not, here she comes! Sarah Michelle Gellar arrives in New York.

@BestMovieMom This is the time of year when people pick a random movie they liked and start whining about it's lack of award recognition. About how it got "snubbed" and all that. Oh, and of course, how sexism, racism, and all the isms are to blame for it.

Charlize Theron says Uma Thurman should’ve won an Oscar for Kill Bill (2003). She added, “Men get a lot of credit for these movies. What she did was unbelievable.”

@bushontheradio I've seen some odd engagement bait, but this beets them all.

About to eat a whole pack of beetroot. Your thoughts on this please.

@MaxCalkin @traversymedia @udemy

@traversymedia @udemy I’m sorry, Brad. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Can someone from @udemy please respond to me about enabling 1080p on my new course. It is 2026, no course should not have this option!! I have been making courses here for 10+ years and can not get the respect of a proper explanation/solution?

@ABC How many times can a person "break their silence" and "share their story"? Especially long, LONG after the world has forgotten or ceased giving a crap about it? You did something stupid. We all got a laugh. Now go away.

The woman from the infamous Coldplay "kiss cam" incident — who was seen cuddling up with her boss at one of the band's concerts — says she has "paid an unimaginable price." Now, she's coming forward and sharing her story.

@Variety They can AI all they want. But I will personally never spend a cent or waste a second watching one.

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI

@chefsevenn Maybe ten. Maybe. I mean...chicken and beans???

Paid $40 for this…… Was it worth it or no?

@DoctorLemma youtube.com/watch?v=1GaKaG…

Her mother spent $4,000 to record a birthday song for a thirteen year old girl. It changed the next decade of that girl's life in ways nobody could have predicted. The song was called Friday. Rebecca Black recorded it during school break, just for fun. It sat at around 1,000 views for a month. Then it didn't. It became the most disliked video on all of YouTube. The count was public back then. Everyone could see it. Millions of people had gone out of their way to press a button just to register their contempt for a thirteen year old girl. She was in eighth grade. Kids at school would walk past her singing it in mocking voices. Food was thrown at her. She received threatening messages serious enough that police investigated them. She eventually switched to homeschooling. At nineteen, almost every producer she approached told her they would never work with her. She wrote years later that she had spent most of her teenage years terribly ashamed of herself and afraid of the world. She kept going. Lady Gaga called the song genius. Katy Perry championed her publicly and invited her to appear in her own music video. Friday was covered on Glee. Her 2023 debut album received critical acclaim. In 2025 she released her second album, toured across North America and Europe, and opened for Katy Perry on a world tour. She has turned down every offer to have the video removed from the internet. She said pulling it down would only attach more shame to something she no longer feels ashamed of. The video has been watched over 167 million times.

@PageSix You could say she looks good for her age. But in no way in actual reality does she appear to be anywhere close to 30. And let's be honest - she's got all the facelift indicators. Celebrity facestretch. And hair dye.

Have mercy! Lori Loughlin, 61, looks half her age in rare red carpet appearance post-Mossimo Giannulli split trib.al/LCf3OtW

@TheMonologist Wow, John was an absolute douchebag.

A few years earlier when THE BEATLES met PETER SELLERS they were excited & ebullient. But meeting up with Sellers at Twickenham Studios a few years later they’re now exhausted, jaded, John’s hooked on heroin and their spark, joy is almost gone.
