God, it's so easy to make fun of Matt Stoller.

It's been a little less than 24 hours since I first found out my Twitter had been hacked and so far I have not heard anything back from them to reopen my account. I am SO angry about this (none the least because I want to get out of the faculty room that is Blue Sky.)

So is the UK basically ungovernable post-Brexit or has it always been like this?

The Turning Point USA halftime show was not a great concert, but it was a great look into what all of American art would be like if the Confederacy had won.

No, that kid was not Liam Ramos, as evidenced by his completely different head and face. Some of you really went off to the races with this.

That wasn’t a halftime show. That was the entire history of Latin American music from the end of WWII till now, done in less than 20 minutes. I Stan Bad Bunny now.

One thing that really stands out about this halftime show is how much better the production values are than when I was growing up. Guys like The Rolling Stones and The Who literally just came out and left. Now they do a fucking SHOW.

RICKY MARTIN!!!!!!!!!!

“Oh Bad Bunny! You’re so wuuuuvewyyyy!” “Sí, lo sé, no puedo evitarlo!” “Oh Bad Bunny, BE MY WUUUUUUUUUV!”

Me watching this year's Super Bowl:

Someone just hacked my Twitter account, changed my username and is now tweeting spam like this. Who the hell did this?

My work husband is running for Congress!!!! Love me some Congressman Teddy Bae We need to drastically increase the thirst quotient in the House! Donate. Vote. Volunteer. Thirst. Okay the last part isn’t mandatory but it is fun 🫦 Go Harry!!!!

Don't underestimate Harris's strengths with young people. The Gen-Z operatives in the Democratic Party did great work in 2024 and they had each other's backs.

To Journalists: Please stop telling people not to cancel their Washington Post subscriptions after yesterday. There is no other way for customers to register their discontent because Bezos ignores their criticism and continually degrades the product.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

It is worse than this, I think. Bezos would be eminently capable of getting good value for the paper in a way that would leave his personal wealth intact. He is disfiguring it because he believes owning it, and doing *this,* best serves his interests.

My heart goes out to every journalist who The Washington Post laid off today. Shame on the paper's new insect overlords who have ruined one of the great American news institutions.

But in all seriousness, Neil Gaiman, please go fuck yourself.

I would rather see Pinky and the Brain re-create the missing Magnificent Ambersons footage than the AI slop described in this article.

we’ve known Chomsky was a piece of shit since he tried to downplay and deny the Khmer Rouge genocide back in the 70s, but I’m glad more people are *finally* figuring this out

Learning Noam Chomsky was tight with Jeffrey Epstein gives new meaning to the term "Manufacturing Consent."

I saw three films from this year's Sundance Film Festival via the streaming app. Two were commendable efforts, and the third...well, at least it wasn't as bad as Melania. (Read on if you want to know more.) jeremyfassler.medium.com/three-films-...

I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Catherine O'Hara? Christ, I hate it here.

I love hearing artists talk about works that mean something to them, so this wonderful collection of artists describing their favorite Sondheim songs is the best thing I'll read all day. Bonus points to Tony Kushner for choosing the brilliant "A Bowler Hat." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/a...

Greetings, new followers! My beloved @mzspress.bsky.social & I have an online arts bookstore, and we just added a bunch of new titles—new, used, rare. And yes, we have merch! See "New Arrivals" here: mzs.press/New-Arrivals...

Journalists, if they come for Don Lemon, they can come for you and me too. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

I’ve gone back and forth on Darren Aronofsky, and Caught Stealing moved me into the ”he’s good” camp—but with the bicentennial AI slop he’s producing the pendulum has once again swung the other way.

Today would be a good day for Bernie Sanders to explain why he elevated Tulsi Gabbard for so long.

One of the best parts about the Melania movie going down in flames is seeing Brett Ratner go down with it. I always hated how he bragged about getting into NYU with awful grades. He was so smug that he never stopped to think about what he still had to learn.

Emily Bender’s thread trashing The AI Doc is a must-read before you take other critics’ raves for this film at face value.

The problem is not that Ms. Rachel liked an antisemitic comment - it's that she responded to a SECOND one and pinned it. I foolishly believed the first time J.K. Rowling liked an anti-trans tweet that she didn't mean it, but when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

I understand why Natalie Wynn deleted this, because there's so many trolls out there - but she wasn't wrong.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Any journalist who doesn't call this murder - or another equally weighted word - should step aside for those who will.

Love seeing that racist fossil Jeff Wells lose sleep over a movie by a Black filmmaker getting a record number of Oscar noms. (Also he’s used that “Samuel Z. Arkoff” reference like 100 times when talking about Sinners. It’s not going to catch on. Stop trying to make fetch happen, Jeff.)

Finally watching No Other Choice. Park Chan-wook is the real Brian De Palma.

This lineup is exactly what the Academy votership overhaul several years ago was going for: More room for genre. A year when the huge, popular movie with the black cast ISN'T the surprise "Oops" omission. And a more international look--nineteen nominations for foreign films this year.

This is your yearly reminder that unless someone comes to your house at 5:30 in the morning and punches you in the face, Oscar snubs aren't a real thing. (To paraphrase Mark Harris.)

Biggest statistic so far: Greg Kwedar, who was nominated for Sing Sing last year and Train Dreams this year, is the first writer to get consecutive nominations since Aaron Sorkin.

I’ve had some really awful experiences with high school and college classmates laughing at all the wrong places, not to mention rep screenings—the worst I ever attended was Marnie at Film Forum. Nonstop laughter, including during the rape scenes.

@daniele-gaither.bsky.social Thank you for liking all my posts about MLK - also, I'm a Northwestern Performance Studies major too!!

This is a thread I originally wrote for Twitter a few years ago about the history of MLK Day and how it got implemented nationwide. It's a fascinating, multi-decade saga about resistance, activism, compromise and Stevie Wonder! >

If you're writing about how great 2016 was, you weren't really there.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

Scott Adams might have been the most toxic person ever to appear on News Radio.
