It is increasingly clear that there is a crisis of trust in legacy media, five-alarm fire stuff. It is bad for any news outlet to have a reputation that wards off people it should be talking to, and the wary are growing in number lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

What an insane catch. Incredible stuff

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Sometimes America is so beautiful it just makes you want to cry. From beauty.

the hardest part of jeopardy is that you can't say fuck even once

I’m in this book! It’s cool!

goin to an open mic for the first time in ages, might read a poem or something . maybe you also would like a push to get out there again, yeah?

this administration has not worked diligently on anything except the starving and robbery of the people it is meant to serve

The WGA East stands with @condeunion.bsky.social and @nyguild.bsky.social! #1u

One of the most political and contested works going right now. A year of us engaging with this complex, weird series of books and figuring out what it’s all about. Subscribe now to Shelved By Genre to come along!

been researching a bunch of comedy podcasts for a thing and Christ what a miserable scene

do people pay the culture crave person or do they just lift shit for the love of the game

Also if you call carol’s answering machine (you don’t see the number but you can hear it ) you get the same voicemail message. Not as exciting, but I love when shows do this

feel for all these devs who got taken for a ride by the game awards. I also feel they were failed by the press, we should have loudly and consistently impressed upon people the demonstrable lack of material benefit the show has offered. we can call chicanery when we see it!

There are no words for how evil this is

lol over a grand? To watch ads? They should pay YOU

What a gross fucking scam, and also I am not in New Jersey

Good op-ed that raises a silly (to me) question that a lot of people have in order to pivot to a trenchant observation on stagnation in open world game design

Whoa the viral marketing for Pluribus is wild

You know, that discussing film account doesn’t do a whole lot of discussing

Aaron is right here, Resurrection is incredible, please go see it

Got paid today so I put some pecorino in the puppy’s kibble

That’s right let’s hear it for JOCKS

I know it is weirdly “controversial” to think billionaires shouldn’t exist but I hope more people agree that trillionaires really shouldn’t be a thing

tapping my blog again aftermath.site/grand-theft-...

I don’t really use or read Goodreads so it’s funny when I go there to check something and find out that Doctor Sleep is listed as “The Shining, #2”

it also made me bang my head against the wall

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

imo the games press needs to definitively decide what its relationship to this awards show is www.gamedeveloper.com/business/the...

What!

KGBeast heads, your time is now variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Lawson’s review, the gentle fun he pokes at how the movie treats its characters, and the response it has garnered all basically reflect Badlands view of the franchise: a blunt metaphor for toxic masculinity, and its insufficiency for survival

I cosign this, and would like to add that Matthew Macfadyen is SO GOOD at playing a delusional, entitled little weasel. ("little" is not meant literally, he is very tall)

lot of good tv this month! Lot of good tv to catch up on!

No piece on it at the moment but Death by Lightning is out and Death by Lightning rocks, the nomination of James Garfield at the 1880 RNC is just like conclave

It does not seem like they were able to sort this movie out

I had a rough childhood, if I'm being honest. Yeah, I was the Eraserhead baby. That happened to me. With the scissors and all that. I mean it's fine now, but it was tough for sure. I work in Admin now. We moved out to Abington. It's good now. Go Phils.

just made some baller Italian wedding soup, hilarious that the Italians thought they could keep this from ME

This is good, and a little brain-breaking

I think after yesterday it’s clear people know exactly who is making their lives miserable and republicans whining about socialism or whatever isn’t going to fly when stuff like this happens

have I shown you all my iko uwais shirt

some minor Pete/Joshua crossover here, but also: Pete’s countdown rules, as is his roving and enthusiastic exploration of world cinema

just saw a sequence of books on the used bookstore shelf that was a mirror image of mine. did I die? am I dead? Am I just gonna haunt my stuff forever? The person who gets my love and rockets books better be cool

will there be another franchise film as good as the matrix resurrections

that’s the kind of respect real New Yorkers give one another

talked to sterlin harjo about THE LOWDOWN, ethan hawke and what america has to learn from tulsa. good show!! variety.com/2025/tv/news...

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”
