i liked backrooms a lot but it's sooooooo hard not to make fun of it as the "zoomers are afraid of hallways" movie

Oh wow, so there were multiple curses on the Knicks last night, omg. Somebody call the Etsy Witches.

Mike Bloomberg incensed that his 75 year Lou Gehrig streak of not touching or being touched by a person of color streak has ended

Wow what a match!!

A tremendous list of films that work through what we’re working through. One more I’ve been thinking a lot about lately: Tomorrow Never Dies, the Bond franchise’s prescient commentary on billionaire interference in the news and geopolitics.

LETS GO KNICKS!!!!

I think the big reveal at the end of Euphoria S3 is that we’ve been watching a season of LA NIGHTS

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

Had the pleasure of meeting the humble and inspiring @mychal3ts.bsky.social at Wednesday's rally to end family and child detention! Thank you, Mychal, for raising your library voice to call to #freefamilies !!

Kimmel: When Colbert's final show ends, turn off CBS and never turn it on again.

Two fab almost-standalone episodes dropped recently: “Beach Reads” in “Widow’s Bay” (Patricia’s Wicker Man party) and “Montecito” in “Hacks” (Deborah and Ava pretend to be a couple). Sharp writing and just exceptional acting in both. Emmy submissions for sure.

Like @mychal3ts.bsky.social writes, “The library is always here for you." That's why we're committed to being here for our libraries. This year, we're adding $31.7 million in permanent, baseline funding to our city's three library systems so they can better serve New Yorkers.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Rep. Justin Jones burning a Confederate flag during the special session on Tennessee redistricting Jones: “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror — this is about race. This is about power. This is about silencing communities that have historically been excluded”

BREAKING—Tennessee Republicans have voted to draw new maps that will *eliminate* the state's only Black-majority district & the only seat held by a Democrat. @justinjpearson.bsky.social: "As long as we never quit, they cannot win. We may lose some battles along the way, but this war is a long one."

He looked great was the outrage

I’m so happy for Erika Alexander. It says a lot about Hollywood that she didn’t get her own sitcom after LIVING SINGLE. But she’s had one hell of a comeback these last few years. 💖

I am so pleased that this won the Pulitzer. Bess Wohl's "Liberation" hit me with a direct emotional impact I hadn't experienced since the "The Normal Heart" revival. It felt immediate and personal, and I saw my mother's life and my sister's life with a vividness that stung.

Incredible film. Wonderful intro and Q&A. Hopefully more audiences will get to see this no-longer-lost masterpiece soon.

I have wondered whether this is related to the fact that people feel very helpless about what they see in the world—they feel ineffectual. And I wonder whether sometimes people just pick a target they think will actually be forced to react to them. Something to affect, to prove you exist.

Louisiana Republicans have eliminated a city clerk position in New Orleans days before a Black man was set to take office. “It’s a sad thing to see the state government repeating what happened to Black public officials during Reconstruction,” said Calvin Duncan, who was set to take office Monday.

Alito has now written two opinions drastically limiting the fundamental rights of ethnic minorities and women, which was the kind of thing you would have expected from a guy angry about both groups being admitted to Princeton, something known at his confirmation www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

What a horrible guy. Donate to Joanna’s campaign. www.joannawhaley.com

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

NEW: In a scathing ruling describing RFK Jr. as an “unserious” and “unsafe” leader, a federal judge in Oregon issued an order that will protect doctors and hospitals, and the transgender kids they treat.

'Hacks' star Hannah Einbinder slams AI creators as 'losers' "They're not artists. They're not creative ... They're trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can't ... you will never be cool ... You are a loser ... I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush it" (via Slash Film)

I cannot overstate how important and incredible it was for Brandy to play Cinderella. To say nothing of her being THEE teenage icon Moesha. She was black America’s sweetheart — in addition to being the vocal bible. It’s so funny you started your post with a black signifier tho and that is shade.

Rachel McAdams eats in Send Help.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.” Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

I feel so vindicated for hating Call Me By Your Name. Armie Hammer? TRASH. Timothee Chalamet? TRASH. I didn’t even like the novel when it came out in 2007. *files nails*

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know? But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

Tiffany Pollard talks to Ziwe about her gender identity: “My gender would be non-binary, meaning that I’m very flexible and feminine and masculine. [My pronouns are] him, her, she and who and they. And we will. And that b**ch.” 🔗: youtu.be/J7iWHQUZOFk?si…
