Disney is going to immediately regret that decision when there’s a multitude of videos depicting Mickey, Minnie, Moana, and co committing crimes.

What I'm fixating on is the fact that he threw his film editor son under the bus

I’m so curious what the rural numbers are in terms of turnout. We’re seeing 10-15 point swings towards Ds there. If the turnout isn’t high and Nashville showed up on e-day who knows. Anyway R+3 is a TSUNAMI result for the Dems. That’s a D+19 shift. Anything less than R+7 is full on panic for them.

Now at $99,495... I'm gonna go ahead and call that $100k. Thank you, thank you, thank you all. You spread so much hope and joy. 💚

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

They don't let the women use their phones or get up from the table, and the filming lasts for like 6-8 hours. WTF. www.salon.com/2025/11/21/t...

This incredible profile of Gaines’ rise is a fantastic read, but more importantly it highlights how when Gaines started getting media attention days after her 200m final there was an entire ecosystem devoted to media training her and supporting her there to assist in her growth. It’s not organic.

Osgood Perkins has a good base with ‘Keeper’ that acts like a funhouse mirror when you try to guess what’s happening. The fun ends when you arrive at the exit because the mystery outweighs the explanations. New on my newsletter: www.multipotentiality.net/keeper-is-an...

The second half of ‘Wicked’ is already thin. But the Broadway show hides it by constantly moving. “For Good” not only mutes the emotionality of its characters, but pauses in the service of “The Wizard Of Oz” to its fault: substreammagazine.com/2025/11/wick...

Nasir Gaines accomplished big things as the architect of the Brick City Lions Pop Warner coach. He has even bigger aspirations at Newark Shabazz’s high school, both on and off the field. New from me: www.nj.com/highschoolsp...

in the last 5 days these laid-off VIBE staffers have only made it to 31% of their GoFundMe goal after being laid off. please show them the same support you showed Teen Vogue!!

"There are about a thousand of us" is devastating.

Edgar Wright’s “The Running Man” is caught between a rock and a hard place. Its loyal to the book, but feels a pull to the tone of the 1987 film. There’s a large net of chronicling dystopian..but we’re way beyond the authoritarian takeover of primetime TV. substreammagazine.com/2025/11/the-...

For nj.com, I spoke to ten coaches and officials about the mercy rule in high school sports. Some people are for it and others hate it: www.nj.com/highschoolsp...

🚨 local how-to-help opportunity for brooklyn! 🚨 flatbush / PLG / crown heights area: my dear friend Sarah is organizing a non-perishable food drive to benefit the Ladies in Waiting food pantry on Fenimore. bring items to Hasenstuble (1184 Nostrand Ave.) from 4pm onwards on Wednesday 11/19!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

So AI-generated videos of Black people yelling about public assistance, immigrants being snatched off the street, and women being choked to death seem to be the main output of this technology so far.

Aftermath on Ghost. All the homies love Ghost.

Democrats were on a 20 point run narrowing the gap and a group of Senate Dems decided to punt it on first down at the goal line.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

WIRED is focused on reporting the forces shaping the most terrifying administration in a generation already plagued by terror wars, financial ruin, and a global pandemic. The best way to help us keep doing that today is to stay reading. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I was told the dodgers winning would ruin baseball forever. Sorry to the new fans. It is now over.

For my newsletter, I wrote about “Lurker,” the Stan industrial complex and how artists both hate it and use it, Taylor Swift, and how the film shows the ugly sides of the digital currency era. Read & Sign up for free: www.multipotentiality.net/in-lurker-ev...

I just spoke with Capital Area Food Bank CEO Radha Muthiah about how they are preparing for a possible lapse in SNAP funding. She told me that for every meal they provide, SNAP provides *nine*. "The magnitude of the SNAP program is significant," she says.

‘Hedda’ is an example where tweaks made in an adaptation can enrich a story beyond the source material. Nia DaCosta includes commentary about race, status, control, and archaical patriarchy that is pushed to its heights by Tessa Thompson and Nina Hoss. substreammagazine.com/2025/10/hedd...

Pau Gasol:

OK. *deep sigh* If we’re really doing this … If anyone has information about this alleged $130 million “donation” — including the identity of the “donor,” if such a person or corporation exists, and any legal opinions purporting to authorize this — please send it my way. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

“Bugonia” is another entry in the “what the hell happened to us” post 2020 style films. It’s billed as a comedy, but really a sad expose of how conspiracy theories have ripped up our synapses and rewrite them to where the illogical looks appealing. substreammagazine.com/2025/10/bugo...

‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’ understands how vital ‘Nebraska’ is within The Boss’s personal and creative development. Its an infection point which is why I felt let down that the film doubled down on stating it, rather than trusting itself. substreammagazine.com/2025/10/spri...

For my first investigative piece as a sports enterprise reporter at NJ.com, I teamed up with Keith Sargeant to look into some of the root causes of violent outbursts at high school games across the state. We spoke to congressional leaders, coaches, athletic directors: www.nj.com/highschoolsp...

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours. 'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

We have a justifiable affinity to our dogs and “Good Boy’s haunted house-through-a-doggo’s-eyes certainly takes advantage of that anxiety. We’ll most likely outlive our pets…but what if the roles were reversed? My review: (subscribe for free) www.multipotentiality.net/good-boy-wil...

It’s undeniable that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is great portraying Mark Kerr in “The Smashing Machine.” Rather it’s the story choices that doesn’t allow the audience to forge a connection with what made Kerr the legend he was. My review: substreammagazine.com/2025/10/the-...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is unrelenting in the way it portrays the lowlights of motherhood. A job often celebrated for stress tests as a cop out in finding solutions for them: www.multipotentiality.net/if-i-had-leg...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The way Dems try to dance around Mamdani’s name concerning endorsements, you’d swear he was Beetlejuice.
