Between His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story, Cary Grant specialized in playing dudes who couldn’t stay out of their ex-wives’ lives.

Soad and her child Omar are going through tragic circumstances Their lives were destroyed and they lost everything Omar is suffering from malnutrition and his body is gradually wasting away This campaign is their only source of income Consider Omar one of your children 🙏Donate👇🏼 tinyurl.com/4rdnwyzx

Marjane Satrapi's people are saying she "died of sadness," which just makes it all the more devastating. A powerful and unerring voice for justice. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

I have a chip on my shoulder about this kind of thing, but what bothers me most about this toothless example is that Pride was in part a calculated effort to get people to come out in order to build solidarity and break straight culture's ability to blackmail and coerce us by threatening to out us.

Great call! 1 like = a genuine compliment to a piece of media I dislike.

I hope Elvis Costello is having a good day.

Have Blu-Rays of The Twilight Zone and Fleischer cartoons on my TV stand. I am 27 years old but I seem to be a 27-year-old in 1962.

Saw an Xbox on the road today. Half-expected to see it dragging a controller along.

Y'all are amazing. Only $30 still needed to meet this.

YouTubers must be stopped.

Iran war live: Israel’s expanding invasion of Lebanon draws global alarm https://aje.news/m0fzwg

L moment from my goats here.

The author of this column, Susanna Rustin,was described to me by Guardian staffers as a “militant and obsessive anti-trans activist" in 2021.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic: they need urgent help. Hammam is a volunteer nurse who treats the injured without pay. His family lost everything and are homeless. His brother is epileptic & requires medical treatment. Every donation can help provide food and care chuffed.org/project/1580...

The football world has been unified by Arsenal’s defeat. Hate is a healing force.

Alternate universe where the only change is that Octopussy consistently ranks in the top 10 of BFI’s Sight & Sound polls.

One more set of photos for this, which is a chapter I'm massively excited about. Alan Moore meets a snake, and I get to drop a wild research coup I've been sitting on for like a decade.

I hate that I know so much about the CIA that when I "CIA" and "gold" in a recent headline, I thought "oh yes, Operation Gold, the joint US/UK operation that dug tunnels under Berlin in the Fifties."

Legendary. Lucas was one of the best editors of Hollywood’s greatest decade. Balanced momentum and space as confidently as Schoonmaker or Murch.

after eight (nine??) years of “Trump turning a new page with presidential attitude” articles we’ve now fully moved into professional writers trying to massage the most immature internet-poisoned shit into a thought-provoking commentary we have to take seriously.

Was stunned to learn that Antonin Artaud is in The Passion of Joan of Arc. It’s like when Noël Coward appears in a movie. Not someone you associate with the screen.

Genuinely breaks my heart to see young people whose entire fiction diet is IP crap. You have a generation of folks who by and large think franchises are great art.

I’m less bothered by Davies having transphobic friends than by him using their preferred moniker of “gender critical.” Be honest with yourself, man.

This story is baffling, because having a talent for lying, embezzlement, and fabricating a personal background should make you a shoe-in for Director of Operations. www.npr.org/2026/05/28/n...

Every day I see so many Lebanese and Palestinians either dead, maimed, or in rubble as their families and friends have been massacred. It just never ends as 'ceasefire' just means 'They cease, we fire', 'human rights' mean 'European Rights', and 'Peace' means 'Just die and give us your land'.

Hi, guy who runs one of the fastest-growing publications in the United States. If you use AI here to write you are summarily shunned. It is instantly recognizable as hack shit.

Oh, GTFOH. Even if Carroll *had* perjured herself — which she didn't — the DOJ absolutely never prosecutes anyone for perjury in a civil case. www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

Every journalist urgently needs to watch The Battle of Chile. This is the sort of work we need to produce.

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Must be tough being a journalist with total cultural amnesia about the 2010s.

the job of journalists in 2026 is now exclusively to pretend that the world came into being exactly eight minutes ago

I keep seeing people respond to bigotry against trans people or muslims with "could you imagine if someone said that about jews", and it's like.... yeah, i can actually. they do that pretty often.

"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another" U.S. Const. Art 1, s. 9, cl. 6

Was watching The Thin Red Line. Early in the film I thought “man, every white guy in Hollywood of 1998 is in this except George Clooney.” Not 10 minutes from the end, George Clooney appears.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Strangers on a Train is the scariest film of all time to me, cos I too would amiably agree with a nutter on public transport to get out of a conversation and not worry about the consequences. "Yeah, sounds good, man! Now, you look after yourself, alright?"

God, I vastly prefer overt transphobes to the serial microaggressors. Have the courage of your convictions.

God, I love The Fabelmans so much. Could have been a cloying mess about the Magic of Movies; turned out to be a devastating masterpiece about diaspora and the traumatic experience of realizing that your parents are human.

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

TIL the same actor plays the kid who gives Bogart the lottery ticket in Treasure of the Sierra Madre and the Mystery Man in Lost Highway.

aren’t you supposed to hold the nail with your pinched fingers idk

Pinochet is frying in the deepest recesses of hell.

There are a hundred "Is Mamdani Being Insensitive to Jews By Acknowledging that Palestinians Are Human?" stories in outlets like the NY Times, meanwhile multiple Republican politicians LITERALLY say that all Muslims are terrorists who should be expelled from the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

Sad to see the last watchable network talk show end, but going out with a performance by Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello is pretty cromulent.

Sama'a and her family need food and clean water, and both are harder to find every day. Even a small donation can help keep them safe. chuffed.org/project/1575...

Nerds are so hooked on IP nonsense that they’ll say stupid things like “Star Trek is socialist” instead of watching The Battle of Chile.

Watching The Battle of Chile for the first time, and I am outraged at even my best and most helpful journalism professors for never recommending this to me. A diamond of cinema and journalism.
