As @StephenKentX points out, it isn't millennials. Millennials love the prequels and are largely responsible for rehabilitating them. It's jaded, cynical, irony-pilled Gen Xers who hated them, for exactly the reasons doomer lays out (but attributes to millennial nerds).
the reason millenial nerds feel a compulsion to shit on the star wars prequels, despite the obvious cinematic brilliance, is they are played entirely earnest. there is no jim from the office winking at the camera, which makes them excruciating to the irony poisoned millenial mind

Family Guy recently made a Civil War version of "Who's on First" that had me crying laughing. It had no business being that good.

Wow
SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot. But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates. nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…

Just as predicted. I think I said this to @KaivanShroff. The fate of all issues is to become partisan. Data centers are still pre-partisan, but that will sort itself out eventually, with Republicans becoming pro data centers and Democrats being anti.
it seems like data center public sentiment has found its bottom, with notable recovery among republicans heatmap.news/daily/data-cent…

This! @christianbrits pans the "unethical travesty" that is Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything. "There's no getting around the fact that Nathan Fielder made a crooked bargain to get his documentary made," he writes. I agree. I'm surprised, and a bit disappointed, that more people aren't denouncing the filmmakers' tactics. Fielder made a documentary about someone who conned people out of money they were owed—and then goes and does something... kind of similar. reason.com/2026/10/26/nathan…

Problem [Now]: Many tenants are not paying rent. Solution: Landlords and taxpayers will eat 2/3 cost of unpaid rent. Problem [Soon]: Many tenants are still not paying rent. Solution: Landlords and taxpayers will eat full cost of unpaid rent. This is not smart!
Every year, thousands of DC residents lose their homes over unpaid rent. Most owe less than $5,000. Going to court is stressful for tenants, expensive for landlords, and slows down the system. We need a better way to resolve rent issues. 🧵⬇️

The Russian fighters are not conscripts. They signed up for this.
Replying to @skscartoon
The endless slaughter of Ukrainian and Russians must stop. We should some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes.

Robby and Lindsey react to Kara Swisher suggesting that Elon Musk should “be worried” if Democrats regain control of Congress: @IamLindseyG: “The President has done every single thing he could to mirror exactly what he claims the Democrats did to him a few years ago.” @robbysoave: “But are Democrats going to rise to the opportunity, and help heal this nation and bring us back together, and just do good, sane regulatory policy? Or are they going to do a witch hunt against every GOP person? It sounds like the latter.” LINDSEY: “I don’t think the Democrats should make it their entire life story, if they take power of Congress, to prosecute Republicans. I do think that Democrats should spend time looking into serious matters.”

I am concerned that rebooting Glee is too blatant an affront to the gods and they aren't going to take this lying down.
🚨 A ‘GLEE’ revival has been officially ordered at Disney+ and Hulu. No cast members are currently announced to return.

Interesting: @limebike has banned 1,000 users in D.C. over the last month for violating rules on the use of its e-scooters and bikes, including underage users, dangerous riding, and more. This comes amidst concerns over improper use and rule-breaking on the bikes and scooters.

Ukraine wants peace, Russia does not. Zelenskyy is willing to stop the fight along the current lines, Putin wants to conquer more territory. When Trump shouts ceasefire, Ukraine listens while Russia ignores him. Trump says let's have a summit, Putin says I want China involved. And this dynamic repeats itself over and over again. Pretty obvious which side is more reasonable!
BREAKING: Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says he would be open to freezing the front lines to end the war with Russia. KILMEADE: "Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now?" PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY: "Yes... I think this is a real way to end this war."
