Listening to this musical podcast about Pippin and this guest will not let go of how Fosse took the musical away from Stephen Schwartz, the bitterness on someone else's behalf is great

We remember Claudia Cardinale, who has died at the age of 87 www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/news/2025-09... #filmsky 🎬

So that Tylenol lawsuit is already ripping and rarin' to go right

Great I will pop more Tylenol to become even More Autistic

Birria City on 52nd and Osage needs to open now, now do you hear me? You think I'm making a fucking joke right now? No, no I am not

Bought The Gospel Singer for my dad as a birthday gift a week after reading it, what a fuckin' novel

Celebrities used to sometimes be weird communists, now they’re all doing ads for chips

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Literally zero trans people were involved in killing that man

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Politicians might be starting to figure it out

Huh, I'm not forgiving anyone who didn't protest the genocide she pushed

Do think posters sometimes mistake saying "we're so cooked" over and over for actual political engagement

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Given Pippin's "Magic To Do" has probably been my top track I should again mention my poem Translation about that musical: broadsoundmag.com/2025/08/15/t...

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

You don't check blusky for five minutes and the vice president says terrifying things on a podcast

JD Vance and Stephen Miller capitalizing on the shooting of Charlie Kirk to plan a crackdown on a wide range of their opponents is directly out of the textbook that Adolf Hitler used to consolidate power. We must not simply identify this as fascism—we must act accordingly while there is still time.

Enough already. The White House via Stephen Miller says Democrats are an "domestic extremist organization" & JD Vance says he wants to crush the Dems. Trump says Dems are radical leftists and it was radical leftists who killed Kirk. How can you have bipartisan negotiations with people like that

JD Vance is doing the Reichstag Fire the right way. by Ezra Klein

I need to check out other 70s/80s musicals but cannot find anyone in the medium as radical as Sondheim was, imagine you take your seat, you think you're getting a fun Broadway show, and the lyrics go "self-delusion, middle age/you can try and turn the page"

I just think if your definition of civility is about the volume and tone of speech and ignores the content of the speech you probably need to start over

The thing about the Pod Save Nate Silver types is that it’s pretty interesting that Bluesky is the place where the majority of users believe those guys are full of shit and rather than engage with it as they’re asking people to do with rightwing ideas they’re mostly going “do not go there”

The Jurassic World movies run off the premise that people would get bored of real dinosaurs when this is impossible

If you click on an ad on tinder, even if it's an accident, you should get a super like or a boost. Come on, you must be out of venture capital by now

20something me: oh you're 20 miles away and want to have sex? Yeah I can make it 30something me: Oof you're in north and it's past 11 already, could we schedule this for the daytime

"Nothing can come between us/nothing gets you down" - Talking Heads, Making Flippy Floppy

Presses open for submission?

I know we've had shit comedies since 2015 up until The Naked Gun so the average is shot, but Ryan Gosling is one of the funniest actors alive

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Based on seeing Scott Thompson like three months ago here in Philadelphia, yeahhhhh stanning Linehan makes sense

This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary

I don't understand why the radical left demands I not hang out with my opponent merely because he eats babies for dinner. Perfect is the enemy of the good

Trump killed some guys out in the ocean with no due process. This is generally referred to as murder. It would be nice if the press would mention this.

Are there any contests out there that want Burroughsian weirdo poetry, even the $25 entry fee ones

The changes they made to Serena the movie are baffling given that the book reads like a screenplay. Epic literary fiction with a Biblical, daemonic horror bent.

Poetry adventures: reading the @milkweededitions.bsky.social multiverse books, fourth now is the wanting way though I didn't love the previous one I read. Ecstasy by Alex Dimitrov was good if flawed, Frank O'Hara with Lana Del Rey's tragic hedonism/queasy politics

Remembering that article which sneered at the product movies of 2023 and Blackberry was a weird negative inclusion there. The other movies are happy endorsements of existing brands, BlackBerry is a story of hubris and a dead product.

israel is a colonial state carrying out a genocide and anyone supporting it is the moral equivalent of a nazi in 1940

Would not believe anything the NYT/Atlantic liberal and centrist people have to say about ditching trans rights not just because this is morally wrong but because they are all giant losers and nerds

when Adams says "Stop doing tv" and Torres either misunderstands and does schpiel about October 7th or intentionally obfuscates how what he's saying is bullshit talking points

After a contentious interview with Rep. Ritchie Torres, Adam Friedland asks, “Are you mad at me?” He really is the Millennial Jon Stewart

🔘 If you are on a train, bus, etc & ICE or CBP boards, stand up & loudly let everyone know they have the right to remain silent & only answer questions with an attorney, no matter their citizenship or immigration status. Confronting them in this way has made them leave. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES

i still haven't seen anything on this front and it's feeling kinda dismal. it's really unlikely i'm gonna get out of this situation without hiring legal help, and i'm setting aside what money i can but it's really a drop in the bucket. shares and donations are deeply appreciated no matter how small.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
