'God Only Knows' and songs from the Sound of Music, works of art that I love to hear at every other the point of the year, should not be retconned holiday music. We have enough Christmas songs, a few of which are sung by the very artists in question.

Oreo's dog daycare did a yearbook and because my girl is a chatty barker and a friend to dogs of all sizes, shapes, and ages, she got highlighted as 'Dog Most Likely to Be a Politician'.

now i wanna re-watch foxcatcher, a film I remember being mixed on but has lingered in my mind a lot more over time.

Global TV is a low-effort conservative-leaning private network, and this wasn’t “treachery” this was “it was the weekend before Christmas and they just broadcast the episode that was sent to them digitally by CBS on Friday”, no one in the office on the weekend even if CBS tried to warn them

The author of the piece teaches at Yale and is a member of Council of Foreign Relations, if you ever want to be disabused of your own imposter syndrome. Also look up his Gaza coverage to rule him out of as an unserious mind.

Exciting news from my pal Rachel Lichtman's Programme 4, headed out on tour in the new year! From house shows in your very own paneled rumpus rooms to all-star comedy showcases and more, You can host! You can attend! But you can't get it online--it's a gloriously analog live event. Details below!

The Rocketeer in 35mm at the New Bev. This is not a drill!

to say nothing about the fact that the murdochs and ailes were successful in a more competitive media landscape, we are just simply giving too much credit to an unremarkable mediocrity. it gives her power that does not exist.

Bari Weiss's media project is like that part in Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher where John DuPont's birthday party is him wrestling others with the script that he must win like he's a real athlete and not a deranged, moneyed scion.

Reminder that if your family is looking to stream IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE this week on Amazon, or other apps, there are three versions that pop up: the black and white OG, the horrid looking colorized version and an abridged cut that chops 20+ minutes out. You know which is the right one!

“Didy’ever spike a news story to appease a fascist, only to have it totally blow up in your face?”

remember when snark was a major early internet media pejorative?

has anything valuable come from the newspaper op-ed section in this century?

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

Did you guys know that BLACK CHRISTMAS is my favorite movie about abortion? I wrote about it from that angle and how the violence of the picture overlaps and is linked to the central question of the right to choose. It's one of my favorite movies in general. www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

as somebody who was raised by a boxer and followed the sport on and off since my childhood, i cannot watch the tate and paul fights just on aesthetic levels. that isn't boxing. nonetheless, it is still hilarious that they were both knocked out by opponents who were punching air half the time.

The second of my reader's choice articles will be going live on Christmas and it'll be on the two holiday themed Jim Henson pictures made for TV: EMMETT OTTER'S JUG BAND CHRISTMAS and A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS. Hope everyone has a good week.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

xavier dolan should seize on the heated rivalry hype and drop the original festival cut he and jacob tierney had for the death and life of john f. donovan

It's your birthday, Duane.

Today's the last day to pre-order the deluxe edition of PERSONA and you'll want to do that! It's incredible. www.littlepuss.net/persona-pre-...

I don't think I recall that many OPIs on a single drive

… also Happy Carol Day to all who celebrate 🎄📷🍸

I don't know who's doing PR work for The Testament of Ann Lee but the tagline of, 'Amanda Seyfried is Mother' is right there.

Truly was the only bad thing about my San Francisco trip last year was seeing these monstrosities on every block (the locals HATED them).

the zoom out was 🤌

really feel for mary hatch projecting in capital bold text her intentions towards george in song, a crazy good drawing, and passive aggressively scandalizing her own mother while his head is up in the clouds UNTIL the phone call happens.

Anyway.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V2I...

Fallon did not deserve the mantle of the Darlene Love singing 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home' tradition. I'm blaming the Bari Weiss era of CBS for this.

James Madison suffered through worse. The White House almost burning down, for starters....

Lots of media complainer men are angry at Tulane and JMU for taking up postseason spots that could've gone to programs that have frequently proven themselves in big games. In unrelated news Oklahoma's 4-11 in BCS/NY6/CFP games since 2002

me when the 'niskayuna mentioned' moment happened in the testament of ann lee

Love the movie. I've been into the Corbet-Fastvold cinematic universe for years, but this one took me by surprise. Felt like the closest thing I've seen to a Ken Russell movie.

Jerry Brown 2028

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Chris F-OW-ler

Brent Venables looks like Bob Einstein's Super Dave Osborne character. Yes, this is the first time I really had a look at Oklahoma Head Football Coach Brent Venables.
