The Muppet Show host I think could be equal odds brilliant or a disaster is Jeremy Strong.

Perhaps one day I will simply be crushed by a mountain of "No"s and all that will follow will be relief.

Also in LA and NYC, Yorgos Lanthimos has personally bought and is paying for tickets to two screenings of The Voice of Hind Rajab just signup here bit.ly/hind-yorgosl...

I've said it once and I'll say it again... One individual's work, no matter how monumental, is barely a drop in the ocean compared to what culture has lost in the tapestry of voices suppressed by the norms of harassment, abuse, and marginalization of voices other than the most societally dominant.

I own a bunch of these books already and is this ever a STEAL!

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Hi friends, I’m still looking for a day job! I’m looking for IT project management and/or IT service delivery and change management roles. Most of my experience is on infrastructure (router and switch upgrades, managing cable installations) and on routine software upgrades and patching. Thank you!

The long-winding saga for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT goes back further than you think... Check out this super fun and interactive timeline made by McKenna Hart with words from me! thestar.com/interactives... via @thestar.com

“(This is how men behave.)” It is not how men behave. It is how creeps behave. I swear to god, nobody is as eager to torch the reputation of men as men are.

"The officers are accused of trafficking, leaking addresses to hitmen, and leaking police officer addresses, the sources said. The investigation also uncovered a conspiracy to kill a unit commander at the Toronto South Detention Centre..." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Anyone else just learning that Los Angeles has more than doubled our monthly garbage collection fees?

Since it's fun to point out when TV & movies take liberties with your profession in order to create necessary drama, I'll say it rang false to me that the director in the 1st scene of WONDER MAN didn't manage the situation with an actor hired for one scene before it spiralled into him getting fired!

I'm sorry, the Washington Post hopes *I* will reconsider the value of their journalists?

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.

TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is an Ambie Award nominee! So pleased to be part of the cast @atypicalartists.co put together, have a listen to the show for some indignities-of-late-stage-capitalism fun!

It's also good for directors, since a show with a large order is essentially the only way anyone outside of the usual suspects will get an opportunity at an episode.

Unfinished. #LiamRamos

here's my entry!! #Comics4Liam

Ah, January 1st. Time for a fresh start!

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

The Hobtown Mysteries series by @hobtown.bsky.social & Alex Forbes and THE GLASS HOTEL by @emilymandel.bsky.social (I myself have a short and a feature in development that are adaptations of short stories by Canadian authors. Wish us luck that this year is the one.)

BARI WEISS: Well, time to hire another new correspondent for CBS News. (Starts flipping through a huge tome titled “The Big Book of Pedophiles and Their Contact Information”)

hey uhhh we haven't been getting duped into some of history's stupidest policies by a cadre of pedophiles for the past 30 years have we?

SCTV is on Internet Archive if you'd like to enjoy the early work of Catherine O'Hara and her fellow sketch comedy gods. S1: archive.org/details/sctv... S2: archive.org/details/sctv...

The loss to the creative industries that has resulted from systemic discrimination and a hostile environment perpetuated by individuals within it towards creators other than cis straight white men is absolutely immeasurable in comparison to the contributions of any single person.

There's also been little reporting on the fact the CRTC recently released new Canadian Content guidelines they've spun as more "flexible," but actually mean Canadian-owned projects can hire more non-Canadians as writers and directors and still access the financial incentives that make them possible.

What do we think, is it reasonable to require a full draft of a feature or pilot script, on top of the entire suite of materials for a short film, in order to apply to a program that awards its recipients with funding for the short film that will serve as a proof of concept for the larger project?

BREAKING: Bovino to fight his demotion, has filed a grievance with his union rep at The Lollipop Guild

Hey, do we think someone close to Schumer can convince him the Baileys have sadly died and their final words were, "Abolish ICE"?

We have to defund ICE and the cops. I’m sorry. It can’t just stop with ICE. We gotta go all the way. 🤷🏾‍♀️

The Republican position on guns is and always was that guns can only be used by lone wolves to murder schoolchildren or by Republicans to murder whoever they want.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

One little thing you can do if you’re feeling helpless tonight: throw a few bucks to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. They’re reportedly stretched thin for obvious reasons and could use some help if you can offer it. www.ilcm.org?ref=badfaith...

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Great piece by @noelmu.bsky.social, pinning down frustrations I have with certain kinds of storytellers, and, unfortunately, men I encounter more than I'd like to in real life.

This is a great post and this part in particular is something writers and artists should be aware of before beginning a project. When I lettered, I lost so much time resizing and fixing pages that didn't match the dimensions.

This looks so funny and co-stars the voice of my favourite living actor, Stephen Root. I'm in!

Seriously, it only needs to take out 2 others MAX.

I was still able to leave voicemail messages last night. Keep filling those mailboxes up.

I love how everyone's naming, like, genuinely great movies. When I was dumped for the first time, the movie I turned to for solace was LITTLE NICKY, a movie even the staunchest Adam Sandler defenders have a hard time getting behind.

This was my only viral Tweet.

Launching our "Cost of Care" issue @thelocal.to today, about the places where money and medicine collide. Here's @alisonmotluk.bsky.social writing the best, clearest thing I've seen on what a routine surgery says about the possible future of care. thelocal.to/cataract-sur...

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
