Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

🤦🏿‍♂️But... She doesn't want to come over. She just wants the Epstein files released. Dems try so hard to forgive people that don't even want your forgiveness, haven't asked for it, And haven't even stopped doing the harmful behavior. It's silly.

I feel like the pope being an American cinephile is God finally rewarding Scorsese for a lifetime of devotion

It's remarkable that the number of news analyses/pundit takes that the Democrats are too extreme--out of touch, too focused on divisive cultural issues, too beholden to progressive orthodoxy--far exceeds the articles on the Trump/GOP's connections to the far right. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

Holy shit

(serious unbiased journalist voice) “are you trying to distract from the president’s refusal to make health care affordable by pointing out that he was also friends with a pedophile?”

The Falcons paid Kirk Cousins over a $100 million to play roughly half a season of decent football over two years.

matt yglesias' primary claim about politics is that to win elections, democrats should adopt the strategy which has given starmer a 13% approval rating in the UK

Panthers about to hang another 30-spot on the Falcons

Just another day of the President of the United States lashing out at a late-night talk show host. Totally normal.

i think vance is only interesting inasmuch as he extremely unprincipled and thus a good guide to where the GOP is going (gift link)

Newsom is the front-runner right now in exactly the same way Jeb! was the front-runner in late 2013. He has ZERO juice, but he is catnip to the juiceless opinionators who are the only people gossiping about “who is the frontrunner right now.”

You don’t hate the press enough.

After having back-to-back flops with Last Night in Soho and The Running Man, I hope Wright reteams with Pegg. It doesn't need to be another Cornetto movie, but I think they push each other to be better.

Buttigieg and Newsom are both perfectly polished empty suits and I’m curious to see how many people are going to buy their shtick for 2028.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

This is also what I offer to my paid subscribers.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

I love me a good prologue-as-parable, which the new episode of PLURIBUS delivers.

Honestly, a completely fresh STAR TREK movie that doesn’t have to worry about reusing characters feels way more exciting. Boldly go!

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

I think about this line almost every day.

Her piece about Biden, which was itself badly written fiction, was itself a huge ethics scandal because her fuck boy was *running against him*

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

Got a bad reputation? The New York Times rep laundering service can help with that! You were just misunderstood! NYT cast can help rehabilitate any image! No real contrition necessary.

Reading it all laid out like this, you can see the inconsistency on the field is a reflection of inconsistency in the front-office. The Falcons never know what they want to be and never have the patience to stick with any set of plans. A great (and painful read) for any Falcons fan.

Just your occasional reminder that six years ago, a bunch of self-proclaimed progressives made a big deal Oscar bait movie that framed this vile bag of rotting garbage as a Shero

There really is no such fucking thing as a "good social media app" huh

This has been my experience as well. The PlayStation Portal is amazing at cloud streaming games, and bafflingly sluggish for remote play.

Literally describing Mar-a-Lago staffing here.

Will I be lost if I haven’t seen Dead Man?

And these are all by Rockstar?

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Ah yes, the scourge of undocumented immigrant homeowners, a real thing that actually exists

There's no legislation here. Republicans don't know how to pass legislation that isn't a tax cut. It's like the 50-year-mortgage thing: how can we twist the system to direct more wealth upwards while causing greater depravation to those who most need help?

I want someone to write an unauthorized biography of Larry Summers and title it MEDIOCRE WHITE MAN. He is the most listened to and promoted white guy who is consistently treated like a genius while being wildly wrong about nearly everything who isn't Elon Musk

The thing about this open-ended, "Oh, you can use our characters for your AI-slop" is that even with clear barriers like no racial slurs, no sexual content, users will find a way to do disturbing stuff. Like can you do a prompt of "Moana flies a plane towards two tall buildings?" Probably!

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

I never really had any doubts about HARAKIRI's rep, but boy did it manage to exceed high expectations. So glad I finally watched it.

All the "serious journalists" who defended Haberman made me sick. It's just a clubhouse. They see no sense of public responsibility.

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.

Really proud of the fact that @mattgoldberg.bsky.social is reviewing and recapping PLURIBUS for Decoding TV. Check out his write up of the first two episodes here and subscribe to get the rest (for free!) www.decodingtv.com/p/pluribus-s...

It may be bad, but the first movie is in constant rotation in our household, so I've got to see this.

JAY KELLY is top-tier Baumbach, and I also think he's draws out shades of Adam Sandler's acting range that other directors have failed to access.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.
