@kylethomaswest @aakashgupta Right? The Fast and the Fourious erasure is bullshit. 4 was when the thing really started to take off.

@aakashgupta Fast Five wasn’t the next film after Tokyo Drift 👍🏼
English
Sony is betting its entire 2026 on a five-year gap and a memory wipe.
No Way Home made $1.9 billion worldwide. $815 million domestic. The highest-grossing Spider-Man film ever, the highest-grossing Sony release in history, and the first film to cross $1 billion during COVID. That was December 2021. Tom Holland hasn’t worn the suit since.
Five years between installments is a lifetime in franchise filmmaking. The Fast & Furious gap from Tokyo Drift to Fast Five was four years and the studio treated it as a full reboot. Marvel waited three years between Avengers films and spent $200 million on marketing each one. Sony just went five years with zero Holland Spider-Man content and dropped the trailer by handing two-second clips to fans on Instagram.
The trailer rollout tells you everything about their confidence level. No Super Bowl spot. No exclusive theater preview. They let random fans in Lima, Peru and Columbus, Ohio release the first footage on personal social accounts, then had Holland standing on the Empire State Building at 7 AM to drop the full cut. You only do that when you know the product sells itself.
The real signal is what the trailer sets up. Holland’s Peter is mutating. Organic webbing, DNA instability, Bruce Banner running tests. They’re doing a version of the Man-Spider arc from the comics, which means this isn’t just a standalone sequel. It’s a biological transformation story that feeds directly into Avengers: Doomsday in December.
Sony needs this to clear $1.5 billion to justify the deal structure with Marvel Studios. Holland’s final contracted solo film means the negotiation for the next agreement starts the week after opening weekend. The box office number on Brand New Day determines whether Sony or Marvel has leverage in that conversation.
$1.9 billion bought five years of patience. July 31 is when they find out if the patience was worth it.

@JomiAdeniran Kobe is the 4th best Laker all time behind Magic, Kareem, and Shaq. This isn't a question. Luckily for him, those three are also in the top 15 all time, so he can still be on that list.
English
Kobe Bean Bryant isn’t a top 5 Laker of all time …
Why do I have to be rational and composed when idiots can just say whatever they want?
@
thinking Kobe is the basketball GOAT is a fucking mental illness, he’s not even the best two-guard ever and is barely a top 5 Lakers player of all time. it’s a shame so many young men were caught up in this lie

@MasterTainment Not really fair. There are SO many more movie fans than video game fans.

@benrossen Why? This seems to assume better intentions of Altman and OAI than of the Anthropic team. Why would we believe that? Is there evidence to that end?

Trump in 2011: “Unfortunately, we have a president that doesn’t know the first thing about negotiation. We have a real problem in the White House. So, I believe that he will attack Iran, sometime prior to the election, because he thinks that’s the only way he can get elected.”

@cenkuygur Cenk: I don’t know how I can be more clear. Trump will end and prevent war in the Middle East. He wants peace.
Harris and her neocon cabinet want war, war and more war.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Khamenei is dead. Good.
But I have family in Iran. My dad is there right now. And I'm not celebrating yet. Here's why.
Iran built the most layered contingency plan on Earth for this exact moment. Four levels of succession for every key position. Pre-authorized military strikes. Regional commanders who don't need orders from Tehran to act.
As you read this, there is already a new Supreme Leader. We just don't know who.
This isn't Maduro. The government didn't get overthrown. The system absorbed the hit. That's what it was designed to do.
Every credible intel assessment says the same thing: a post-Khamenei Iran is more likely to get harder, not softer. More IRGC. More dangerous. Potentially worse for the Iranian people than Khamenei himself.
Don't breathe yet. There's a long way to go.

@Richard_Kadrey BECAUSE PURITY!!1!
Or some other bullshit.
Speaking of Criterion, when is Sandman Slim the movie coming out? Or TV. I WANT IT SO BAD
English
Why the fuck are people upset about this? Do you think Criterion makes a ton of cash on Ozu and Bella Tarr movies? No. So, why shouldn't they include a few popular films--that also happened to be very good--that will let them keep putting out the other stuff?

@mattyglesias @benryanwriter So.... You liked the movie, but not it's primary antagonist because you'd prefer they were human racist monsters, rather than supernatural ones. Why? Do you just not like Vampires?
Minus the lore, your movie is like... An episode of TV in length. N

As I understand it, Moderna is saying that they won't pursue new MRNA vaccines - they're not talking about conventional vaccines based on heat-killed whole-pathogen digests which have been historically expensive to produce. The reason they wanted, and pushed mRNA so hard for COVID is that it's a less expensive way to develop a vaccine, and more profitable, and they thought all new vaccine development and much drug development would be with mRNA technology. Now that regulators are rejecting the mRNA tech, Moderna's taking their toys and going home.

This is genuinely horrible. We are doing immense damage to ourselves.

“Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

This hurts to say, but Will Campbell was the worst player in 2025 playoffs. Rookie, not totally healthy, but needs to come back way stronger next year.
