Obsession with Donald J. Trump? Trump Derangement Syndrome? What if Trump isn't the issue at all? It's not even an "if." Trump is just a symptom. dgilesauthor.com/why-trump/ Not saying we should entirely ignore him, but to put him in his place.

It's not lost on me that all major publications are axing their culture sections and ending their arts coverage, when moments like this one make it blindingly clear that art and storytelling are the only things that still have a hope of uniting us and clarifying what shared values we still have.

This loss feels so personal. I am praying for his family and friends who have to process not only this horrific loss, but the manner in which it happened and who did it. Wishing them all the grace and strength in the world.

Rob Reiner started his career as the moral center of a hateful world. His life and work carried that spirit for generations. Losing him now, in such a violent way—as authoritarianism tightens its grip, oligarchs consolidate their greed, and Hollywood gets stripped for parts—feels profoundly unjust.

Somehow @sepinwall.bsky.social published a beautiful eulogy for Rob Reiner overnight. I woke up saddened by the news of his passing, and this piece—celebrating his life and work—was exactly what I needed to read. www.whatsalanwatching.com/rob-reiner-w...

As a documentary producer, I am remembering a line from the late, great Al Maysles this morning: "Beautiful people make beautiful films."

- THIS IS SPINAL TAP - STAND BY ME - MISERY - WHEN HARRY MET SALLY - THE PRINCESS BRIDE - A FEW GOOD MEN Rob Reiner was 1 of 1.

#90dsyfiance I really like Forrest and Sheena together. They could really make it. His mother needs to back the fuck off. If she messes this up for him I’ll be pissed

100%. I don't care who they are, if they knew/participated - STRAIGHT TO JAIL. Period.

Minnesota nice don't mean they're pushovers. WELL DONE ST. PAUL!!!!

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors. The full requirements will end tourism in the United States. Below is the full, mind-blowing list. 🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨 1/

Dozens of government websites have fallen victim to a PDF-based SEO scam, while others have been hijacked to sell sex toys.

Sen. Ossoff: I heard from a constituent who has diabetes. She got her new insurance premium quote, and it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance plan, and she believes that she might die. We're talking about life and death.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Laura is not a bad person, but she's super naive if she thinks a smokin hot dude half her age is marrying her for love and not a green card. She and Michal are such a good couple. She's just blind to it. #90dayfiance

There's better places they could look for lingerie. But also- yikes. Don't buy lingerie for someone you haven't met in person. It's so weird that he's doing this with his mom. Gives me major ick. #90dayfiance

what is it with the age gap relationships this season? Cringey. I can already say that Trish deserves better. #90dayfiance

Forest and his mom are weird. Like that relationship is a huge red flag. #90dayfiance

Darcy and Stacey, the young years. Yikes. #90dayfiance

This shit is LONG overdue.

The same people who threatened people's lives for quoting Charlie Kirk's own words and got them fired from their jobs think they can say whatever they want with no consequences.

He's so clearly in decline. I wish it would hurry up.

Carville can fuck all the way off. I'm soooooo tired of listening to the opinions of incredibly old white rich guys.

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.

Karma moves fast sometimes.

Today is the publication day for WITHOUT CONSENT, a book I am so proud to share with the world, and that the New York Times Book Review says "is years — decades — overdue." Read more, and order in your preferred format from your favorite retailer here: www.sarahweinman.com/book/without...

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

I'm so tired of tiptoeing around Red states and their inferiority complexes. They know they're dependent on us. We know they're dependent on us. Let's just know it together.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If they think that they "outsmarted" us by getting only people who aren't up for reelection to cave, think again. We're already in a worst case scenario. we have nothing more to lose - so fuck all of them. Any Dem up for a midterm election should be pretty fucking scared right now.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

This is why outlets NEED to hire seasoned entertainment journalists. Holy fuck is this embarrassing. For the writer and for Variety. God damn. Wow. WOW.

We been here for years (1828).

www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-... this is bad. Very bad.

New sign outside the Oval Office..

I shouldn't be shocked anymore when previously good outlets lay off excellent writers, but I always am. Devastating.

Last night with my extra hour of sleep I had a dream that Kamala Harris ran again for POTUS with Obama for VP and the country went crazy and a massive blue tidal wave drowned the red poison and our country was ours again. Then I woke up. Ugh. It was a harsh way to start a Sunday.

All political ads should feature the candidate petting a cat

So true. We didn't even go out until after 8pm. We were expected to be home by 11. And my mom stopped going out with me when I was 7-8ish. Then I went with friends or my older brother (1 year older).

Bitch was one of the formative feminist magazines for women of my generation. Subscribed immediately when I found out Flytrap was doing reprints. You should do. Women's voices are only going to get heard if we support them.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price? $2733.15 a month.

Writers, it's always a good idea to print out your work that appears online. I have a whole year's worth of work lost in the internet ether.

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

10/10. No notes.
