The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:

For the love of all that is holy stop using AI to produce slop making fun of Trump. It’s lame as shit and only normalized a technology that’s economically, environmentally, and intellectually destructive. It’s using fascist tools and thinking you’re fighting fascism. Stop.

#NowWatching the New Zealand film BABY DONE (2020). Have no idea why it was on my watchlist, but that's the beauty of watchlists--you don't have to remember everything recommended to you. So far, it's fun! 📽️ #FilmSky

This is getting ugly fast. 🧵

My brain is so tired that I'm choosing to watch last night's Sister Wives rather than something of quality and substance. Not that I have to justify this action, but I did see a good movie in a theater today, plus two "prestige TV" episodes of other shows.

50 years ago this week, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made the first pilot for their TV show. In honor of this huge anniversary, I created my definitive “Best of Siskel & Ebert” article - 50 of their best reviews from across their entire career. 👍🏻👍🏻

@crimewriterson.com I can’t find the scorched earth podcast that you discuss today. Is it only available through Audible?

My husband—who confines his Bravo watching to Top Chef—is a big fan of White Lotus. He loved this report from @vulture.com:

Julia's parents are wonderful. What a contrast with Ron and Betty. #90DayFiance

It's a good thing the law is clear about joint property acquired after a marriage. Luckily it doesn't depend on Kara's reasoning. Why is Guillermo giving up his rights? #90DayFiance

This is my favorite story of the year! 📽️ #FilmSky www.vulture.com/article/spik...

I interviewed Heather Gay about this amazing season of #RHOSLC, "Surviving Mormonism," using her platform for good and WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT PLANE. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

The big theater at JBFC @burnsfilmcenter.bsky.social is almost full, 10 minutes before Griffin Dunne will be here to introduce AFTER HOURS. Lots of folks here who’ve never seen it before, and plenty who’ve only seen it at home. 📽️ #FilmSky

#NowWatching Andrzej Wajda’s A GENERATION on Criterion Channel. 📽️ #FilmSky

It’s the last ten movies watched on the Criterion channel… #movie #film #illustration #cartoon

You can bring Vicki back, but you can't make me watch her. #RHOC At this point, I'll just FF through her scenes. But there is a tipping point at which I just skip an entire series/season (looking at you, #RHONJ, #RHOP, and #RHOA).

#NowWatching Kelly Reichardt's CERTAIN WOMEN (2016) on Criterion Channel. It's the film of hers that most people I know recommended after I saw THE MASTERMIND.

That last line at the end of #SellingSunset S9 E3 totally cracked me up. Has there ever been a more vile and humorless villain in reality TV than Nicole?

@vulture.com I'm trying to read the BravoCon coverage, but there's this annoying popup covering up the lower 1/4 to 1/3 of the page about giving a gift subscription. There's an "X" on the right of this, but it isn't clickable. Can you fix this? (I'm a subscriber and signed in.)

Maybe next reunion Shannon should wear a Depends under those layers of Spanx. #RHOC

The new Ryan Murphy show "All's Fair" is really, truly, unnecessarily dumb. If you want to see a great show with an all-women law firm doing family law, check out the British show "The Split" with Nicola Walker.

Besides generally being way too much, Rhonda has not learned that you can't expect someone who is driving to be able to pay 100% attention (or sometimes, any attention at all) to her talking. She's got the therapy speak down, but she doesn't want to change. Pat needs to flee. #MAFS E9

#NowWatching Hal Hartley's AMATEUR (1994), recently added to Kanopy. Not available to stream or rent elsewhere (and the DVD is out of print and scarce).

The Australian series "A Place to Call Home" just got added to Amazon Prime!

Can someone explain to me the appeal of Kizzi? She seems utterly ordinary while being weirdly inappropriately competitive. #BelowDeckMed

Tonight's movie for my little local film club was Alexander Payne's THE DESCENDANTS (2011). Could have been made today--it stands up well. George Clooney was particularly terrific. See it on HBOMax; even if you saw it when it first came out, I bet you don't remember most of it. 📽️ #FilmSky

Thank goodness these people were fired by #90DayFiance. They're poisonous.

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

I can't stress this enough as a super volunteer for the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates. This should prompt you to get MORE involved, not less. Show up and use the existing infrastructure to make it work for all of us. In my neck of the woods, we've seen a ton of local victories this way.

Reposting with Alt-text:

Amazon Prime just added a Canadian police show (set in Montreal, in English) called "19-2" that I enjoyed a few years ago on Acorn.

Oh boy, folks, would you look at that, there's a new post up at the good old ship Aftermath, gosh golly! It's Gita Jackson with I Owe My Workday To Criterion 24/7, sure does look swell! Scope that linky! https://aftermath.site/i-owe-my-workday-to-criterion-24-7/

I appreciate my Senators! www.ctinsider.com/politics/art...

Notably, this pardon comes just days ahead of a Nov. 14 deadline for the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to appoint a replacement prosecutor for Fani Willis, who was disqualified from pursuing the case.

Is this house in NJ or on Long Island? #90DayFiance

Does anyone know how many episodes there will be of the Tell All for #90DayFianceHappilyEverAfter? There are four Sundays (including today) before the new season of #Beforethe90Days starts.

Oh the irony that this bill is going to have problems passing because House members will struggle mightily to get into Washington... because of the air travel meltdown, thanks to the shutdown

This is great news for Middletown and Wesleyan. www.ctinsider.com/business/art...

Just saw BUGONIA. Felt a lot like Coen brothers for the first half or so of the movie. I wonder who is seeing it in theaters. 📽️ #FilmSky

Amazon Prime just added the important and compelling documentary COLLECTIVE (2019). From JustWatch: "An immersive and uncompromising look into a dysfunctional system, exposing corruption, propaganda, and manipulation that nowadays affect not only Romania, but societies around the world." 📽️ #FilmSky

Seated for NUREMBERG, because my husband and I really know how to live it up on a Saturday afternoon. 📽️ #FilmSky

@tenuredradical.bsky.social Re the article about the woman who won't stop having babies (like Typhoid Mary refused to stop cooking), I highly recommend a documentary that came out a few years ago, about surrogacy: MADE IN BOISE. It's streamable on Plex. Here's more info: www.kpbs.org/news/arts-cu...

If you know any young people whose holiday plans may be disrupted by these cancellations: let them know they can join you for Thanksgiving as a backup plan.

This is so much funnier now LOL

You know those 24-hour Criterion flash sales that come & go before you can even decide which movies to spend too much money on? Well, Barnes & Noble is offering 50% off all Criterion titles for the next _month_. Let the seasonal physical-media-hoarding begin! www.barnesandnoble.com/b/the-criter...

Big congrats to my students Esther Lim and Jankhna Sura for winning Best Documentary at the #Chicago Mulit-Cultural Film Festival for their film "Jeffery, Come Home" created in my Documenting #Carceral Injustice class @medillschool.bsky.social

I’ll admit to being one of the people laughing that they spent more trying to get Cuomo elected than ZM will cost them in taxes, but it’s so obvious now that the point wasn’t money. It was access. They literally can’t conceive of a person in power who’s not in their pocket and at their beck and call
