Girl I vaguely knew from a community band I casually played in texted me and asked if I wanted to play in an all-female group she was putting together for one show Fast forward 7 years…

Kevin O’Leary is probably begging Josh Safdie to put him in another movie for a PR boost

I think Doechii is the first A-list artist in years who has the same kind of obsession, focus, and earnestness in her artistry as Gaga/Madonna/Beyoncé She’s a genuine visionary who isn’t winking at the audience to avoid being vulnerable and I think the world desperately needs that

Tech is great. You get laid off when companies are doing well. If you're lucky enough to get an interview, you get a tech screen. If you pass the tech screen, now you have 4 more 1 hour interviews, any of which could sink you. And if you land a new job, congrats. Now wait for the next layoff.

Thinking about my former coworker who quit his job at Meta claiming moral disgust only to take a job at Palantir a few months later

Usually I don’t think you can say you’ve been to a state if you’ve only driven through, but New Jersey gets an exception if you’ve visited multiple named rest stops. They culturally embody the state enough to count

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto

This sums up the entire past year of my life

Y’know, fuck it, let’s do the Pennsylvania cinematic universe. Give us Yuengling: The Movie and a Wawa origin story. Do a big-budget miniseries about water ice or a very long maxi-series where every season is a different SEPTA strike

This story is utterly mind-blowing and I encourage you to read it

If you’ve been involved in the music industry over the last 5-10 years, this is pretty much dog bites man, but I can see how it’s a little bit shocking to people who don’t know how this stuff works

Seeing WLWs lament that Christina Koch is straight so just wanna say I’m a single lesbian who could probably pass as her cousin. I’m not an astronaut (in fact I routinely vomit on commercial flights) but I play sax and have a rent-stabilized apartment with a toilet that works nearly 80% of the time

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

I’m at ICE HQ

I’m not an “all writers should stay in their demographic lane” person by any stretch but I draw the line at a man adapting Monstress

Might be a cheap answer because John Adams is one of my favorite composers and Luca Guadagnino just took some of his pre-existing work for the score but the music in I Am Love is so powerful and hypnotic that it just IS the movie youtu.be/ZcaEWNKzBwE?...

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

I’ll admit to some unfortunate lingering symptoms of the Whedon mind virus (undying fondness for Buffy) but I can’t imagine anyone demanding new Firefly stuff in the big year 2026 other than the most cringey elder millennials alive

this is still the realest thing ever said about america

It's real.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Ds and Rs are both responsible for rural hospital closures. Private equity is driving healthcare to ruin just like every other industry with no meaningful action from either party Medicaid expansion would’ve made hospitals a slightly less appealing asset but it wouldn’t have fixed the problem

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

First instinct: Stop the madness Second instinct: But if Coralie Fargeat wrote and directed it…

Going Full Jasper Mode. Getting Jasperfied.

I got some flak from a friend a while ago because I said 4’11” isn’t pop star height but I somehow failed to consider the fact that it’s a perfect height to frame with a muppet. I take it back, no celebs over 5’2”

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

We are still having a great time on Acapella: The Everything App

I’m boring and my favorite is Spirited Away but I do have to shout out The Tale of Princess Kaguya. I think about that film allll the time. It’s as beautiful as it is gut-wrenching

Favorite movies of the decade so far, by year: 2020: Minari 2021: Marcel the Shell with Shoes On 2022: Tár / Nope 2023: Problemista 2024: Challengers 2025: One Battle After Another

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

I would bet $10k that this is all a soft launch for her career pivot to podcasting

My band was busking in Port Authority and Lin-Manuel Miranda came by, pulled his mask down (he was wearing an N95), gave us a VERY hammy Lucille Bluth wink, and put a $10 in our tip bucket. Clearly thinking, “I’m gonna make their day.” I have to wonder if the $10 bill was part of the bit

Also, Hello Kitty isn't even the best character in the Hello Kitty universe:

All dressed up

After last night I really think Nick Fuentes should get into MMA

Huge thanks to the wonderful cartoonist/worldbuilding wizard @andrelimaaraujo.com for checking out my upcoming series IS TED OK? Preorder issue 1 before February 2. You don’t want to miss this series! IS TED OK? is written, drawn, colored, lettered by me, and published by @madcavestudios.com

Ace by Madison Cunningham. Stunner of an album. She’s such a unique, sophisticated songwriter with a wonderfully eclectic blend of influences (as much Björk as she is Jeff Buckley) and she just gets better with every release. Genius stuff, no one’s doing it like her youtu.be/KQMcunxISHU?...

Playing saxophone covers of Jingle Bells and All I Want For Christmas Is You on a stoop in the dead of winter for $80 and a cup of mulled wine

The ecstasy of Larian making a new Divinity game and the agony of knowing it probably won’t be out for another 6 years

Unfortunately I do, in fact, have to hand it to the French. This game rips beyond belief

I’d give Andrew Thomas Huang a blank check to make a feature-length fantasy film

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner

I don’t know how this wound up on a subway screen but one thing is clear - the children yearn for Bart Simpson once more

Michael Brecker’s solo on this track might be the best bit of pop saxophoning ever recorded

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
