Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets." Her opening essay is worth every second of your time: www.thekeymagazine.com/p/western-jo...

superhero fatigue is simply no match for the ol' Coach Eric Taylor "Ah'right." i'm in

Nestled in @tvmojoe.bsky.social @vulture.com's report on how the Dropout/Rookie crossover happened: - "Reich also revealed that he and his Dropout colleagues taped another small cameo on The Rookie that may pop up toward the end of this season...." www.vulture.com/article/how-...

not hyperbole to say that there is NO BETTER INTERNSHIP IN ALL OF MEDIA. don't believe me? apply and see for yourself!

Love this piece, which goes to great lengths to underline Isabella Rossellini's agency and artistry in helping create one of David Lynch's best films.

Ebert famously hated this movie when it was released. My piece isn't really about criticizing Ebert, but I do address his position and use it as a way to challenge how we write about acting and collaboration in movies made by male geniuses.

Initially, “Is Kevin Jonas The Reason Donald Trump Is President?” was met with scorn, until people read it. I stand by this! And I watched way too many Celebrity Apprentice clips to have it erased from the internet. Now it’s back, with added commentary

print journalism is not — and i repeat — NOT dead!

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

Alright, y'all! It's time to get started. This is the watch list for March in the #iamthenightclub For this month, I picked early episodes that stand out as particularly representative of what a certain show was going for. Let's watch and discuss!

The only reason we are alive to debate this is because Stanislav Petrov decided not to trust a computer.

“I just got sent a male-male tennis romance that’s Heated Rivalry meets Challengers": I talked to a half-dozen Hollywood programmers about how the town is thinking about the success of HEATED RIVALRY, and how it could shape TV development. Up now at @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/show...

"At a time when the president and his cronies have embarked on a bid to make the country less democratic and less pluralistic, a media company that has shown a clear willingness to align itself with that mission is about to get dramatically bigger." My latest: www.vulture.com/article/para....

Paramount wins, everyone else loses www.vulture.com/article/para... @vulture.com @tvmojoe.bsky.social

Yes. For all of the current WB regime's faults, their home video division has been stellar lately, especially Warner Archive, which does *tons* of great work each and every month. Paramount currently has no active home video arm for their catalogue. It's likely they kill WB's efforts completely.

This is from @status.news, and it is gross. FCC chairman Brendan Carr sat down with Ben Smith of Semafor so he could "shower praise" upon David Ellison and Bari Weiss, and then hint around at who he might sue next. www.status.news/p/politico-e...

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

This is the one. The sexual abuse allegations against Trump are from when she was 13. The evidence, which was previously available to Congress, has been disappeared. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

imagine "investigating" a snowball fight. in the first blizzard in a decade.

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

Everyone should give these a watch. Up here in Canada, these were relatively easy to access, so I've watched a fair number of them, and it can't be overstated how great these shorts are. They absolutely got what made the classics classics without losing sight of being a modern production.

Griping over KPop Demon Hunters getting a Criterion disc is odd given that 1. the alternatives include a worse physical release or none at all, and 2. Criterion's mainstream drops often rule. (Armageddon, anyone?) You can argue and I have that more animation should get the shine, but this is good.

This new Kiki's Delivery Service poster (using concept art by Yoshifumi Kondo) they made for the Imax debut is really something else

had a S.A.D. day a while ago and threw the Fellowship docs on the sets, costumes, and concept art and i have to say, it worked *wonders*

and jesus said-eth to him i am the way and the truth and the $5000 home theater on wheels www.theverge.com/tech/881788/...

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

I am afraid “never learn a hockey player’s politics” is as ironclad a law as “never learn a baseball player’s politics”

Trump got a call from his friend that he had to go through normal airport security like a common schmuck and it was the first Trump had heard about this and phoned Noem to scream at her

What a photo from the Freep

Absolutely unreal. Years and years of Defense spending increases and calls to cut every program outside of DoD and now they admit they cant even find ways to spend it all. Don't let anyone tell you universal Healthcare, rent relief and food aid is too costly.

A retired British primary school administrator with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

From: Cannon Fodder (1995), dir. Katsuhiro Otomo, Studio 4°C This film was designed to flow without hard cuts -- the camera just goes and goes and goes

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This loser admits she doesn't use her real name when she uses AI to write books and doesn't reveal they're AI. Which means she knows it's wrong and she knows it's shameful and does it anyway. The New York Times thinks that's neat though! Unsurprising that this toilet paper rag aligns with hacks

oh hey thanks and yes Team Hadadi is our new name we are recruiting

A thought experiment: what if the Atlantic had done this with another extremely rare phenomenon: a trans youth who regretted medical transition. Instead of finding an actual person this happened to, they interviewed doctors and invented a narrative with the most horrific possible outcome.

"I then came across the most helpful piece of the puzzle from a veteran cameraman, in a forum post I can no longer find" is the kind of sentence that hooks my attention. the lost, forgotten lore of a bygone age.

It’s a little discouraging that the harshest punishment administered in the whole Epstein sex trafficking scandal is a spaghetti sauce getting the death penalty.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
