The only thing I have in common with people on Fox News is a contempt for their viewers.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning. I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss. We stand with you.

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

I'm just over 100 days as the leader of the Green Party. We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour. And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership. Then we're coming for Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

Really enjoyed this book. Hesitant to call if cli-fi because it feels more grounded and intimate than others in the micro genre. I found it quite inspiring and practical in its portrayal of how we'd need to come together to figure out the climate catastrophe over the next decades.

Richest 1/1000th of world’s population controls 3 times more wealth than the poorest 50%. "The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies & democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency..." www.commondreams.org/news/world-i...

There are two ways people share AI videos. Either they know it's AI and genuinely think it's funny or impressive. Or they don't know it's AI and think it's real. Either way, I've lost respect for the person.

Perks of being freelance: you don't have to suffer through a work Christmas party.

Normalise quietly exiting WhatsApp groups.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

If this goes thru it will accelerate Hollywood’s precipitous decline. Thousands laid off. Creatives w/fewer studios willing to bid on projects. Fewer choices of what to watch for consumers. Possibly a death blow for theatrical filmgoing. Just terrible news all around www.theverge.com/news/838781/...

My Spotify Wrapped is FUCK Spotify and their war profiteer cunt CEO.

It's funny these billionaires in the media constantly demonising economic migrants but if they're asked to pay their fair share of tax, they threaten to leave the country for more money, in effect becoming...economic migrants.

Did anyone lose their taste and smell from Covid and take a while to regain it fully? I lost mine in May and am still not fully back, so I'm wondering if/when it returns? It's definitely come back some way, but certain smells and tastes are still faint or distorted. Sweet things mostly.

I'm watching Michael Clayton again, and I know it's not exactly unknown, but I think it's still pretty slept on and should be considered a 21st-century classic. I'm enjoying it nearly 20 years after it was released, and what I'm saying is it stands, the test, of time.

"I've never believed in work-life balance.......for the slaves who work for me." Full quote.

Business "leaders" on LinkedIn with no lived experience of autism: "aUtiSm cAn bE a sUpErPoWeR." Politely fuck off please.

For those who like to geek out with YouTube video essays. Sums up a lot of what is wrong with modern filmmaking. youtu.be/tvwPKBXEOKE?...

If we’re allowing Santa horror movies where Santa is a serial killer we deserve a movie where Santa is a fixer brought in to clean up the mess after one of a law firm's top litigators suffers a breakdown while representing a corrupt chemical corporation in a multi-billion dollar legal suit.

I'm no expert but I'm starting to think Liverpool might not defend their title.

Suck it, MAGA. Zohran charmed your dumbass cult leader and played him like a fiddle. Probably just told him he was a pretty, pretty princess and gave him a gift.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

If we've learned anything, it's that Donald Trump loves, and might probably fellate, charming charismatic men.

Don Jr. and Eric watching the presser between Zohran Mamdani and their dad:

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Donald Trump left on two blue ticks after Zohran goes back to New York 😢

Donald Trump for Zohran Mamdani

RIP Mani 😢 youtu.be/4D2qcbu26gs?...

LOVE THIS!

The plan? Pay $500 for a scarification artist to cut the words "Trump Whore" into the skin of a tied up staffer and then blame it all on some imaginary leftists.

Capitalism is the ADHD of economic systems: hyperfixates on shiny new stuff until it crashes because it can't self-regulate.

I love song endings. I'm an outrovert.

I saw a statistic that says AI-video over performs on social but as someone who's worked in social for 15 years where authenticity has always been king this just doesn't seem true. Are tech companies misreporting the efficacy of AI video so we all buy into it??

JACK DONAGHY: Lemon, Don Geiss is telling me we need to find a way to make Jenna appeal to the [strained air quotes with fingers] "youth" demographic, maybe a song? LIZ LEMON: No! We all know what happened last time-

I don't support capital punishment but I could make an exception for the summary execution of whoever invented the open plan office.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

When the "cheer up, it might never happen" people team up with the "live, laugh, love" people.

Wait a minute, these are the Geoffrey Epstein files

I’m convinced Trump is being written by 80s teen-movie writers. “Quiet, Piggy” is straight from the scene where the rich bully shoves a nerd into a locker and then invites everyone to his dad’s beach house.

Obviously great to see Ireland get to the World Cup playoffs but the fact it'll deny Viktor Orban the chance to go swanning around the US next summer makes it even sweeter!

This is what Trump meant when he said he'd bring jobs back for Americans.

Can't believe Donald Trump is the first gay president.

Awwwh cute, Trump wanted to lock Hilary up just so him and Bill could be together.

Ima tell my grandkids this was Donald Trump and Bill Clinton
