My take on the Berlin Film Festival is there are a bunch of spineless cowards taking the stage. Is that about right?

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at [email protected] to let them know what you think of this.

SCOOP: A classified U.S. report finds a backlog of "hundreds" of possible Israeli human rights violations in Gaza that will take "years" to review, raising doubts about future accountability. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

In other words, it doesn't particularly matter whether she knows how to do the boring work of running a TV news network. Her role will be to pick her issues (like, say, Israel) and enforce ideological conformity, with everyone understanding she reports directly to the top.

The notion that Bari will be "running CBS News" is slightly misleading. What the reporting suggests is that Tom Cibrowski, a guy with normal qualifications, will be doing that. Bari will be Emperor Ellison's Vader-esque enforcer, outside the chain of command, intervening at will.

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

Hello friends - seeing if I can get some renewed love for my friend Nermeen’s Go Fund Me. She is a med student in Gaza who is seeking funds to support her family as well as pay university fees for her education. Please help donate and share! ❤️ gofund.me/9e48b8ba

Going to boost the fundraiser for my friend Nermeen who lives in Gaza and hopes to become a doctor - please consider donating and/or sharing this campaign to help! gofund.me/68a15ae2

Don’t like it!!!!!

Sigh I should probably be here more because the other platform is a hell hole now ….

Hello friends. I have started a GoFundMe for my friend Nermeen who is a medical student in G*za. She is seeking support for her medical education and to help her family. Any donations or sharing of this link help so much ❤️ Thank you! gofund.me/dfbc609c

💁🏻‍♀️ New job vibes! I'm happy to share today is my first day at @people. Excited to join this incredible outlet where I'll be writing about all things movies.🍿

Like so many others, I've been deeply reliant on Watch Duty the last few days, a nonprofit fire wildfire tracking service. I made a donation to their work, because I have no doubt that it has literally saved lives this week. app.watchduty.org

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

Praying for LA and areas most effected by these horrific wildfires. My family is safe - air quality is poor where we are but it's nothing compared to horrors faced by those closer to the fires. Praying for all firefighters and first responders fighting the fires.

where does the new york times even find these people

Weeeell well well... www.cnn.com/2025/01/07/t...

Please know everyone and anyone should hire me to discuss Horizon Zero Dawn. The way that I am OBSESSED with that game… kotaku.com/helldivers-2...

Hey folks. As 2025 kicks off, I’m resharing my portfolio here + reminding folks I’m open for FT and PT work. If you’re seeking an experienced reporter and editor who is pop culture obsessed, I’m your gal! shararehdrury.com

Celebrating 2024 with a horrible body ache nausea ridden cold.

Yes?! Are people not?!?!

What were your top 5 favorite TV shows of 2024?

I have become the mom who loses her phone every gd 5 minutes.

@joshmartin.bsky.social calls Sonic the Hedgehog 3 fun for the whole family!

Hey folks! Seeing a lot of new followers here :) Welcome to a space where I love to nerd out over pop culture, entertainment, internet memes, and more. To get to know folks better here - drop a favorite film/show/game/book in the comments.

not a cellphone in sight. just people living in the moment.

I’ve been going through literal bags and bags of clothes I no longer need and am trying to figure out the best way to sell these. FB Marketplace was my OG but that isn’t working well for clothes. Debating if something like EBay or Poshmark would be better.

Watching a Disney cartoon from 1950 and I’ve counted at least 7 uses of guns or imitating gun violence. Like… no wonder we are the way we are at this point.

I wrote about the disparate journeys of Black films throughout award season — Nickel Boys and Exhibiting Forgiveness in particular this year — and how their successes are too often dictated by their relationship to the white audience. My latest: www.huffpost.com/entry/nickel...

Shyly asking for book recs (especially fantasy, sci-fi, horror, adventure). I’m embarrassed to admit it’s been awhile since I’ve read anything and I really miss cuddling up with a good book. Drop your recs here! (And don’t be shy to rec older stuff as well as newer!)

I really regret ordering my trashy takeout at 2pm today because I want to crash out so badly but I am a parent so I have to be alert 🫠

So just so I got this right…. No one knows what is happening with these drones in the sky?

The way this headline and story describes “Among Us” - which I and so many of us played especially during the pandemic - is…. wild.

What a disturbing yet perfect use of Rudyard Kipling’s “Boots”… “28 Years Later” has me locked in already with this trailer: youtu.be/mcvLKldPM08?...

I know I’m so late on this but this final season of Cobra Kai…. is so damn good?!?!

This came together pretty fast, but here's my latest for @io9dotcom.bsky.social : A look at the history of Bartkira from the folks who started it on Tumblr back in the day. gizmodo.com/the-history-...

Last night, I won two National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards — second place in Commentary Analysis/Trend, Film-Online and third place in Diversity in the Film Industry-Online — for my Variety feature on #Dune2. This is proof that believing in yourself can lead to success.

Standing in solidarity with Indigenous people on this day - and every day. As a descendant of those who first colonized America, I can’t change what horrors were caused by those actions. But I can stand up against oppression and colonization and genocide today and every day.

Here’s to folks feeling all the feels amid the holidays. Whether you’re alone or with family and friends - either way the holidays can be an overstimulating and overwhelming time for us mentally. Take care of yourselves. Take moments of silence and peace when you need it. ❤️

In seven days, the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to an anti-trans health care ban brought by three trans teenagers, their families, and Dr. Susan Lacy. Dr. Lacy is a Johns Hopkins medical school graduate and board-certified OB/GYN with 27 years of clinical experience in hormone management.

Curious how Trump’s policies on immigration or tariffs will impact the economy? Wish you knew more about the US economy in general? Check out my father’s substack to learn more (shameless proud daughter plug here lol) open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

Hey folks - with the holidays approaching and my still being unemployed - I’m taking a shot at doing some work that could help raise some $$. If you have a resume or cover letter you’d like someone with professional experience to review, edit and give notes, hit me up!

Does Kendrick sleep. Asking truthfully.

Guess I won't be doing SDCC - at least not with the fam. I likely can go as press but I was really hoping to get to go with my husband and kid... =/

The only answer is Malört purely because if the person you've tossed it at gets even a few drops in their mouth...
