Realizing Jamie Curtis and Christopher Guest have a trans daughter and she still said what she said about Kirk on WTF makes me extra annoyed.

Does anyone in the NDP or who knows about how this works federally, given what Trump said about trans people being terrorists, what can we do in Canada to help trans people flee, find homes here? Is Rainbow railroad already on this? Wondering if communities can organize to help.

Every second person has Covid right now wouldn’t it be good to have boosters at the right time, Ontario public health?

Dutch late night TV has its take

this is real, and yes that reply that is the head of the FCC

First ep of the Morning Show is so bad it is hard to pick just one illustrative example, but the biggest is the Newsroom-esque timing issue. That said, I do think Bradley Jackson is one of Reese W’s best roles, as long as she’s not in any zero chemistry scenes with Juliana M.

Changed my search settings on Her slightly and now know that there is an east and north Hampton in the U.S. about 400k from me and it appears all lesbians my age live there.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

I kind of knew that in fascism the only late night host left would be idiots like Jimmy Fallon but it is truly weird to actually see it happen.

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

I feel like I have to confess that I could have gone to Lilith Fair but I was 21-24 and it was “too mainstream” and like corporate folk version of riot grrl and that is so embarrassing to remember about myself.

Now that I’ve been on many prize juries I’ve amended my goal to: I hope one day a group picks my book bc it’s the only one they all thought was sort of ok.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

When do you remember wifi being common and everywhere? My memory is around 2005 ish but that’s also when I got a laptop and not just a plugged in desktop.

"I think The Studio is exceedingly toothless. I devoured it, but I just think it is a completely ineffective satire. It's basically just sort of slapstick classic Seth Rogan. It's more like stoner-y-friend-type comedy than it is saying something." SOMEONE SAID IT. YAY @emilygouldnymag.bsky.social

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

Least feminist Emmy’s ever. UGH.

Evan Peters !!

Cristin N wins best speech. Just unhinged theatre kid energy. Love it.

That’s a little cocaine sway on that presenter

Was about to bitch about another Adolescence win but then it was lesbian-y.

Is Lorne dying or is everyone standing bc they want to host

Has Nate Bargatze ever read a name right in his life

Are women gonna win anything for writing or directing no of course not

DYING FOR SEX writers were ROBBED. The writing was a brand new thing.

When kids win Emmys I'm always like, ok but maybe this shouldn't be a thing.

I can't be the only one wondering what the fuck is andor

I love seeing British actors at awards shows because they always look like someone's art teacher got a chance to chaperone a prom.

Just want anyone winning for Adolescence tonight to say the word misogyny.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Bringing Leanne Morgan out right after "Fuck Ice and Free Palestine" is also Extremely 2025.

I think Nate Bargatze is a very funny comedian in his lane. But I miss the Jerrod Carmichael / Tina & Amy Emmys. The Awe Shucks I'm Dumb stuff doesn't work in this context. Though I get white and inoffensive is the 2025 way.

Fuck yeah Hanna Einbinder!

Ok you're not supposed to think "Oh I wish the Emmy's was as funny as the mock awards show on Bravo last month".

I miss Twitter 2009-2017ish the most when it's an awards night. Where are the other bitchy quippers?

I wrote a column responding to Ezra Klein’s eulogy for Charlie Kirk, and argued that democracy depends not just on civil disagreement, but on the civic equality that Kirk passionately opposed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh is this memoir self indulgent? This murder mysterious is also so … mysterious.

He was not even arguing civilly! That's the thing! Setting the content of what Kirk said entirely aside, the idea that he modeled reasoned, respectful, fact-based debate and charity towards one's political opponents is completely insane! The form was also extremely bad!

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Charlie Kirk: “God’s perfect law says gays should be stoned to death.” Liberals: “This is an honorable man who did politics the right way. Through debate, not calls to violence.”

Sure wish Canadians had access to a Covid vaccine right about now. It’s a bit nuts that my American friends can just walk into a CVS and get it despite their reality and we are just hanging out getting exposed left and right without a vaccine since last year.

Listening to Marc Maron talk bravely about the state of comedy makes listening to Neal Brennan’s podcast impossible now, I can only hear how he was once an interesting thinker and now he just panders to the right like an insecure kid begging for relevance while falling for a trendy grift.

Learning who Charlie Kirk was, basically a nazi activist for youth on campuses?! He was a whole 2020 Good Fight character come to life.He taught college kids that “black women do not have the brain power to be taken seriously”. The liberals of my youth would never “sorry for your loss” for a Nazi.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

It is pretty funny that other that Knightly, I don't recognize any of these people for any previous major roles.

Have any screenwriters I know taken workshops through WIFT? Do you recommend? Pls DM if so.

Told you so. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/s...

Just looked in both pockets for my airpods that are playing a podcast in my ears right now. That is the kind of day I am having.
