@Variety The dude turned down Forrest Gump, surely he’s figured out how to turn down a photo with Bobert.

Dave Chappelle says he resents how "the Republican Party ran on transgender jokes. I felt like they were doing a weaponized version of what I was doing. That’s not what I was doing." "I was on Capitol Hill, and everybody ran up to take pictures with me from every congressional office. And I just take pictures with whoever asked... At first, it was CBC people. Then here comes Lauren Boebert and she said, ‘Can I get a picture?’ And I had already taken 40 pictures. I didn’t want to say no in front of everybody, but I didn’t know the phrase ‘I respectfully decline.’ So I just took the picture. And then she posted the picture and says something to the effect of, ‘Just two people that know that it’s just two genders.’ Just instantly, like, weaponized or politicized. So I got to the arena, and I lit her ass up for doing that. And she should never do that to a person like me.” (via NPR's Newsmakers) variety.com/2026/tv/news/d…

@AGoldmund Your flurry of angry responses to chuds on here is what reminds me to catch up with Hyperfixed.

@ScottNoComply @TheMaineWonk If that’s your stance, why aren’t criticising the Republicans for voting for it? “I agree with these idiots” Is a weird stance.

Johnson is panicking. He doesn’t have the votes. Another Republican votes with the Democrats to block the bill… 216-204. AGAINST!

Vivek Ramaswamy@VivekGRamaswamy·
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

1) The Apprentice was incredible. Strong should win an Oscar, Stan embodies a young Trump, the period detail and costumes are great, it's both funny and dramatic, etc. 2) There were lots of Bush parody movies in '00-'08. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this feels quite different.
stoobs@thejstoobs

Jesus this is bleak. First we get actors apologizing for expressing frustration after the election & now the Apprentice is going to be buried for what? Fear of retribution? This is alarming. We should be alarmed.

If you ever mention you’re watching 90s sitcom #Newsradio, someone will say ‘Isn’t Joe Rogan in that?’. Yes, but it also has this great character.

@HollywoodHandle The current Zemeckis couldn’t make a good Roger Rabbit today. Hasn’t made a good film in two decades.

Robert Zemeckis says there is a “very good” script for ‘ROGER RABBIT 2’ but the film will likely never happen. “The current Disney would never make Roger Rabbit today. They can’t make a movie with Jessica in it.” (Via: youtu.be/E1o4eNo_9ts?si…)
