Just a reminder that in addition to canceling Disney, you should also cancel Paramount. Hiring racist transphobe Bari Weiss as head of CBS News and actively denying that Israel is committing genocide are both really harmful.

Lol

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

one of the key points that this gets at is that you can't just look at the topline numbers for Trump (which are bad) if you look at strong approve/strong disapprove, it's much starker: 24% strong approve, ~48% strong disapprove there are a lot of people ready to punish you for bending the knee

A Rian Johnson Retrospective is coming to London next month with: 🔪 A Knives Out & Glass Onion double bill + Rian Johnson Q&A ⭐️ Star Wars: The Last Jedi + Rian Johnson Introduction

*sees Disney dropped a Star Wars trailer today* *taps the sign*

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report that is central to future inflation data. I’m sure it’s because the numbers are really, really good.

My nemesis Bob Iger getting the hate he deserves. Good.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

I’m predicting October. Because all the best things happen in October 🍁👻🎃

Turns out when you capitulate you still lose your job. That should be a lesson to everyone

The thing about streaming services is that their bread & butter are households that sub and forget - ppl who go months w/o actually using the product but enjoy having the option at their fingertips. They're the first to go in a boycott (it costs nothing to cancel) and they're the hardest to get back

What the ever loving hell do they think is going to happen to their parks and cruises in Florida when there are massive measles, mumps, and polio outbreaks. When people from other countries can’t/won’t risk coming to the US.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Keep going

best thing i heard all week: friend who lives in the chicagoland western suburbs informed me that a woman from her (lib) church who has 8 kids chased some ICE agents with her giant homeschooling mom van.

New meme just dropped

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Lili Reinhart opens up about #TheLoveHypothesis film (Collider): “We had a really good time shooting it, and I had the best co-star of all time in Tom Bateman, and everyone else. It was a really fun, young, fun cast. And I think we're just hoping that we do, you know, the book lovers justice...”

We’re in a recession.

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

Every time I find myself having plot difficulties, I remember that "somehow, Palpatine has returned" made it past a bunch of editors and into a Star Wars movie, and I suddenly feel much better about my own work.

I can hear Benoit Blanc saying "groyper shooter" in this exact fashion.

Loved this interview with SenLinYu. They talk about their background, their forays into fandom, & how they felt as 'Manacled' went viral. "For years, no one close to them, with the exception of their sister-in-law, knew that Sen wrote fanfic. They didn’t even tell their husband until 2021..."

NEW: The Netherlands becomes the fourth European state to ban the import of settler goods from illegally occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. The Dutch follow in the footsteps of Slovenia, Belgium, and Spain in that order. Ireland is expected to pass a ban before end of 2025.

The evil that men do lives after them

That man really expected Luke to be the main hero protagonist of another trilogy. He really wanted cocoon in space lol.

"TikTok data from summer 2025 shows Ali Hazelwood's The Love Hypothesis, originally published in 2021, generated the most BookTok videos in the season despite being four years old."

Okay let’s get back to that birthday book

If I were a wildly successful actor invited to take part in a Harry Potter project, I'd tell those involved to go fuck themselves

not that anyone here needs proof but for the sake of posterity:

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.
