it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

Can someone point me to a piece about Mamdani’s signature font? I need to drink in 500-600 words about the colour choice, drop shadow, subconscious evoking of “Big”, etc.

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

Vlad Guerrero Jr, Hazel Mae, the city of Toronto, and a cameraman create an all-time baseball moment. #BlueJays #LightsUpLetsGo

Never wanted to read a book more based on blurb alone.

I mean this is a mirror I did not need

It is the first time that Jewish-led organizations in Israel have made such accusations against the country during nearly 22 months of war.

I used to be a producer on one of Canada’s flagship daily politics shows. We choose the order of segments. The topics for panels. The guests. When a topic leads those shows for days or weeks on end, it forces the government to act. Use your power to end these horrors 💔

Bet the Marines and National Guard would disperse faster if we asked them to read our spec scripts.

You know what to do…

I keep picturing Kurt Loder struggling to make himself say these words on MTV News in 1995 and instead he just gets up and jumps out the window

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

I’ve never been prouder. These are hilarious, and also a pretty accurate representation of what happens if you tell an Egyptian person you’ve had enough food, thanks

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

Kudos to the student journalists at The Tufts Daily, who crashed a last-minute issue of the paper to cover the outrageous arrest and detention of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk: issuu.com/tuftsdaily/d...

Look I know we all have a lot to worry about but I would be remiss if I did not point out that NYT Strands is… struggling.

Tell me again about how the current administration hates identity politics.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

Demi Moore losing to Mikey Madison should be a post-credits scene to The Substance.

The amount of hints we've had tonight about an inevitable (not unwelcome!) remake of 'The Wiz' is undeniable... right? #Oscars

“That she dresses me every morning, like I’m a baby…!” That glorious thing where we’re all sharing a show and nearly every line is this level of iconic.

We won’t disappear just because you change a website.

You rang?? I would concur that for most of us (or me) it’s near obscene.

it's really hard to communicate ex post facto what a jarring cultural shift Nirvana was, how those first 4 bars of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" sounded a revolution, how previously everyone steeped in the assumption that America wanted to listen to rock made by guys who looked and sounded like this

I am once again begging you to understand that a man can be good at art AND a monster. Pretending once the truth comes out that the art was never actually that good only shelters the next monster.

There is a persistent myth that if you work in entertainment - if you've done something people have absolutely heard of or enjoyed - that you must be rich. Actors, writers, producers: rich. The sad truth is most of Hollywood is working class. So when you see a Go Fund Me, there's a reason it exists

I wish people talked more about how important it is to be wrong in a TV writers room. To try something out, have it be wrong and just move on. And to model that behavior when you run a room. Being wrong is the best way to be better.

It's kind of impressive how the Wicked press tour actually started before the original Wizard of Oz was released in theaters.

So heeeere’s a question - what’s our age demo here? It’s all very enjoyable but is it, perhaps, a wee bit narrow? If I reference My So-Called Life and get rousing approval, I’ll know for sure…

Agreed, obviously, but also I love this as a catch-all sign-off. Emails, school conferences, arduous obligatory Zooms… it works regardless.

I love how familiar it feels here, but also, some of you are really levelling up in your bios, and I think that bodes well? I have a chronic autoimmune response to hope so I have to lie down now. But maybe?

Overusing with my First Day of School metaphor, I’m masking my anxiety about who to sit with/follow by pretending I don’t need food or human companionship. Hiiii!!! Befriend me, I’m fun! My blood sugar is plummeting, and I’m sure to make a great impression!

WHERE IS EVERYONE?! (Anyone I’ve ever met and/or heard of can, for our purposes, count as “everyone”)
