Rarely is there such beautiful synchronicity between music and performance. Liu is a great skater but she's also a great student of musicality, and she worked closely with her choreographer to create a piece that feels like something bigger than an exhibition of athletic skill.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

It has been a decade since the last time Maxwell released an album and that's too long.

"WUTHERING HEIGHTS" (2026) is a film made to be watched vertically, in minute-long fan edits punctuated by dramatic zooming close-ups of the characters set to phonk.

🥇 We aren't saying Alysa Liu "Stole the Look" from the White-crowned Sparrow, but we aren't not saying it either. Congrats on an epic win! Learn how to help birds on and off the ice on our blog: bit.ly/45usF82

Did not love WUTHERING HEIGHTS but… Elordi is the real deal.

Succession is real, the only thing they got wrong is that all the Roys fuck children.

I'm not scared of dying. I'm scared of dying today. Or tomorrow. Or any time in the next hundred and fifty years.

This shit is just so crazy man

The kids who were nine when Toy Story came out are now forty. And the movies are still being made for them. Adults need to move on from children's media.

The biggest movie in the world right now is an adaptation of a 180 year old novel that kids are forced to read in schools.

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

the quotes in this NYT focus group of Democrats is brutally accurate and the sign of a party ripe for takeover hope @democrats.org aren't banking on enthusiasm to carry them over the finish line in November

I can both agree that the FCC/CBS had no business in intervening in Colbert's interview with James Talarico and can observe that Colbert interviewing James Talarico basically ended Jasmine Crockett's campaign for the Democratic nomination.

2026 basically

Frederick Wiseman changed the way we see the world.

From the classrooms of High School to the corridors of Hospital, he turned his camera on the institutions that shape us — inviting us to look closer, sit longer & confront truth with empathy. 

May his memory be a blessing.

Talk Talk’s ‘The Colour Of Spring’ came out 40 years ago today. 🦋 Here’s the band performing “Life’s What You Make It” on ‘Top Of The Pops’ a few weeks before the album’s release.

it was a rite of passage to pick up Mr. Tyler’s prescription for him at Eckard while getting your ten hours of road time.

It's a movie for no one: a throwback 1990s family comedy from a clean comic who mostly appeals to cultural conservatives centered on the incompetent-goofball dad figure that weird right wing culture warriors have declared verboten for about a decade.

BLACKHAT is not a perfect movie, but Mann's conception of the new face of evil being a dead-eyed slob playing at godhood, reducing all human life to data points while being utterly disconnected from their own actions by virtue of their tech was...on point.

RIP Frederick Wiseman (1930—2026)

Before he was Tom Hagen or Kilgore or Frank Burns or Mac Sledge, Robert Duvall was Boo Radley in Robert Mulligan's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. In losing him, we lose one of the last connections we have to a pre-New Hollywood era.

I'm pretty sure they're just looking at cell phones that pinged near Nancy Guthrie's house the evening she disappeared and harassing all the Amazon and Grubhub delivers unlucky enough to service that neighborhood.

I'll give AI this: as a hype cycle, it lasted a lot longer than NFTs and the Metaverse. But it won't be as hilarious as the Moon bubble.

A lot of the big-hype American Olympians are flaming out, but Jordan Stolz is kicking ass in speed skating (two golds in two events -- with two more to go) and Jessie Diggins skied through bruised ribs to pull out a bronze in the 10km freestyle.

I can't tell if Dartmouth isn't here because of its mostly fake reputation as the 'conservative Ivy' or because people forget it exists.

i often think about this review

America just got safer, if only for a little while.

this rules but also proud that i guessed correctly

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

Not really sure how you can see Evelyn Normielib (D, Texas) setting fire to a facility that might have the possibility of becoming an ICE concentration camp and despair about how Dem primary voters are gonna pick Gavin "We are Charlie Kirk" Newsom as the nominee

Like what do you think they're buying all those warehouses for? They're hoping and praying you don't see what's happening. And the people telling you to calm down are helping them. In fact, having people on "our side" telling you we're stuck and can't do anything are the biggest help to their agenda

Be Okay

Still have a few friends I keep in contact with — was in a Discord with my main core but there was a guy I couldn’t tolerate so I bailed. Very close with my college friends, though. And a few very good friends from grad school.

oh hell yeah

Wait I'm watching a video about Andrew Tate, why does he talk like The Good Doctor?

I love Sturla. He’s Knausgaard for the TikTok generation.

In December 2016, Epstein also claimed that he would “be in Palm Springs with the Trump boys.” He claims to be in conversation with Trump or his allies after Trump’s election.

In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.

I genuinely feel like I'm going insane.

I recently purchased a Mission-style computer armoire off Facebook Marketplace so I can put my work away at night, and it's been an amazing gift to my brain. We need to go back to treating Internet as a thing that happens in a specific place.
