Jessie Ware does it every damn time! Beautiful album.

As Im prone to do, I went long on The Drama and the lack of courage displayed not only in its main conciet, but in its characterizations... substack.com/@blacknform/...

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

What is truly wearying is that 25-30 percent of our fellow citizens, braced with the attention span of sedated goldfish, are going to listen to today's soundbites from Trump and Hegseth about this astonishing debacle in Iran and say, "Welp, we won that war." Simply because they say so.

never forget when the Easter Bunny sent Teddy Roosevelt to the shadow realm

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

The older I get, the more I realize it is IMPERATIVE that I eat every few hours of there will be hell to pay

Celebrating the 102nd birthday of the immortal Marlon Brando with my favorite photo of him.

Went to my local data center today (the library) and got a book, tax documents, and free onion and kale seeds to plant ❤️

Ryan Coogler is a gr8 match for THE X-FILES for many reasons, but one of them is that he understands the people want to see absolute BABES investigating Bigfoot. deadline.com/2026/03/hime...

I hate how stupid everything is.

An overconfident Team USA getting embarrassed by a much smaller country in front of a global audience is their last and most beautiful tribute to the American military yet

oh he’s SPITTING

Anyway I love how much Teyana Taylor enjoyed this awards season and special time in her already successful career. She can do it all and I am glad she gets to show that.

Sinners & OBAA will probably be threaded around one another for decades to come--not because of the Oscars--but because they were two movies from 2025 that had something worth interrogating & people from new generations are going to continue to watch those movies & talk about them in that way.

Happy Oscars Sunday!!

@angelicabastien.bsky.social and i answer the question of the moment: "what does "sinners" record-breaking oscar nomination haul mean?" for the academy? everything. for the future of black film? history tells us it won't change much. for @vulture.com.

I wrote something years ago. At the time it was an angry answer to the Second Gulf War. But it still applies to American misrule. Slim Charles > The entire Trump administration.

A massive Agnès Varda retrospective opens at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social this weekend. Here are eleven deep cut gems you should seek out!

In birthday remembrance of Raúl Juliá, one of the greats who left us too soon. Coincidentally, it’s also the bday of (imo) one of his acting heirs, Oscar Isaac

Happy International Women’s Day

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This is the best kind of awards season even if it is way too long. But it’s been so exciting to have GREAT movies where most wins are justified

a third place in Brooklyn for perimenopausal insomniacs where we can wander about in fuzzy slippers, bitch about our hormones and the state of the world, play mariokart, and wonder if it's normal for [just pick a body part, any body part] to be doing that

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that? And then they grew up to be even worse?

Sigh.

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Pure and absolute fury in my veins right now. I can't imagine how scared he must have been. You cannot reform this away. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

The first teaser for Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is here 👀 Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. In theaters August 7.

SOTU? lol

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Every day I think about cutting the wi-fi, selling the TV, and becoming a crazy dog lazy who lives in the woods.

I hope all the money Criterion makes from the K-Pop Demon Hunters physical release will help fund them and Janus Films for the next 100 years, it’s a win-win.

BBC/BAFTAs reaallly REALLY fucked up.

I know having another snowstorm sucks but the snowflakes were stunning today
