Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Sigh… I wrote about the Michael Jackson movie defector.com/michael-is-t...

Loved @princesmweekes.bsky.social’s new video on AI; also enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac “Silver Springs”performance mention at the start

I wrote this, about how the PR whitewash musical biopic continues to be a hit with the fanbases who are, at best, ambivalent about accepting the complicated truth of their idols.

Time to rewatch this amazing movie

I’m perfect

Imagine being the kind of person who defends Kash Patel for “courage and composure” on social media. The guy is a severe alcoholic; he’d be able to “spring into action” the way I’d be able to do a backflip (which I cannot do)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Every time I miss Craig I think about how impossible it would be for him to still be opening his show with "it's a great day for America."

Speaking as someone who’s been a Jimmy Fallon hater for almost two decades: this essay NAILS IT www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

Dan Reed was a documentary filmmaker who specialized in terrorism and war when he detoured into very different terrain, explosive in other ways entirely: the accusations of child sexual abuse that have followed Michael Jackson since 1993.

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

Just read this interview with Taylor Dearden, and celebrities promoting chiropractors for chronic illness issues is so dangerous. No legit doctor who treats chronic illness will recommend you go to a chiropractor. www.interviewmagazine.com/film/taylor-...

One morning a few weeks ago, I woke up from a dead sleep with an idea in my brain that a fish-themed parody of NIN’s Closer would be super funny. My brain just kinda put “you get me closer to cod” in there, at 9 AM, before I was fully awake. For no fucking reason at all.

Did a bunch of meal prep and dishes and now I am TIRED

I asked the dog if he was excited to go on a walk

finally, a train we can hate

If you are in the seated section at a concert, getting up once in a while is fine. Standing the whole time is NOT. If you are able to stand the whole time, get a floor/GA ticket. Those of us who need to sit for most of the show would *also* like to be able to see the performance.

Of course the “Chappell Roan was mean to a kid!!!” was catnip for the worst online weirdos defector.com/chappell-roa...

It may not be cool, it may not be classy, but it IS stupid

Someone PLEASE give John Waters money to adapt Liarmouth. The entertainment industry keeps giving people like M. Night money to make shitty movies, so why not shower one of the best to ever make trash cinema with money? www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18 (I’m not posting a gif because I hate gifs)

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
