he never looks at JD that way

Don Jr: Did he ever look at you that way? Eric: Nope. Never. You? Don Jr: 😥😥😥😥

More from Silvia!!!!

Never read Julio Cortazar? Here's a great entry point into his work: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/b...

There are 4 types of guys online, no exceptions (IYKYK).

Okay, I've gone on long enough. I'll end with this: The good parts of science fiction deserve so much better than what they are given, and the bad parts of the genre deserve to be blasted out the airlock, never to return. And too many old white male "fans" & writers are in the latter group.

Publishers: I realize that money and numbers are what ultimately count, but...maybe you could try leading--just a little bit?--rather than following? Do we *need* new editions of books by the known sexual harasser & general pest? Or are there new authors who deserve their turn in the limelight?

The old racist & sexist dinosaurs are saying their sexist, racist, hate-filled things in your company. CALL THEM OUT. Don't just nod and wish you were somewhere else, or pretend they didn't just say that all X are Y. CALL THEM OUT. (I am unwelcome in some circles now).

The future of the genre is everyone, not just and not only straight white men. Shunning the old racists and inviting new young writers who aren't SWM will attract new fans to your con, and last I heard that's something sf conventions were interested in. White male fans: STEP THE FUCK UP.

Stop inviting them. They may attract a dozen fans to a con, but is that worth the nastiness they unleash when they think no one will tell on them--the sexism, the racism, the homophobia, etc? (If you don't think the bad old white men say those things at conventions...then we need to talk).

I think science fiction needs a resection/excision. The old white male "fans" are a tumor on the genre. A very malignant tumor. What do we do with tumors? Cut them out. Conventions, stop inviting these racist, sexist, hateful people to be on panels. You know who these people are, or can find out.

My fellow critics: I really hope you make room for this one in your ballots for Best Animated Film. Really do. So precious and humane and touching and simple, it runs the risk of being overlooked.

Trump vs The BBC. Love or loathe the BBC, recent events have put the UK's journalistic sovereignty in peril. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCMn...

And white. Let’s not forget white

Someone should write a song about Jessie Buckley's smile just as a song was written about Bette Davis' eyes.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Agreed! It’s also a reminder that the terrible stuff *aleays* gets amplified and sucks up the oxygen whereas good stuff doesn’t always get shared (maybe a like if you’re lucky) so just a reminder that it’s never a bad time to post links to or RT journalism that you think is worthwhile!

Not only Hollywood stars....

Our Pope, the cinephile. I'm beginning to like him more than Pope Francis!

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE reigns supreme over the other three. #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched

(I regularly run into people here in the States who are nostalgic for the mid-1970s. Either they weren’t born until 10 years later, or they were five and have no memory of ANYTHING before they were 10. Or they have the long-term memory of a mayfly from 1980s drugs.)

Bovino seems like he’s getting closer to admitting their entire premise is a lie, it has nothing to do with the law, and his mission is really about ethnic cleaning and terror.

And the Dow is now down 475 points.

Pleeeeeeease! Someone this happen.

I hope he gets his comeuppance.

Yep. And the first few months after that (been using the darn thing for nearly ten months now).

More in Chicago ICE legal news today: District Judge Jeremy Daniel has ordered the govt to provide Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano, whom ICE agents dragged out of a Rayito Del Sol daycare on Chicago's north side last Wednesday, with a bond hearing "on or before" Nov. 18.

Miguel Zenón and Luis Perdomo are coming back to Chicago December 4 to perform tracks from their EL ARTE DEL BOLERO albums! wl.eventim.us/event/miguel...

So, it's true, they got scared of Chicago winters.

JAY KELLY: It ain't no SENTIMENTAL VALUE.

New eating options in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood!

Michael Shannon cooking with gas here:

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation. Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Aaron Cohen doing God's work.

Never has there been a case of more "good fucking riddance," but it's not unamusing that they're hightailing it right after the first snow storm hit. Chicago has a built-in defense against unserious jagoffs and it's called winter.

Fair.

I go for lying....

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

The Gerontocracy in action.

Same dude!

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

An exclusive look at the deal to reopen the government:

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It is embarassing that only a news outlet from the UK has an accurate headline while our local papers keep saying "reports" without specifying a liar made that report. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you think there is an iota of shame left among them you have been asleep since 2016.
