Highly recommend listening to or watching a recent episode of the One Song podcast which has hosts Diallo Riddle and DJ Luxxury talk to album producer Brian Alexander Morgan about I’m So Into You as well as other songs on the album…

This is accurate I’d also recommend thinly-sliced pears, but I forgot exactly which ones

Here's Barry Sonnenfeld on how they did the shot of a fedora landing flat on the ground and blowing away in the opening credits of MILLER'S CROSSING. Alt-text included.

Today's the 35th anniversary of MILLER'S CROSSING, the movie that meant the most to me for many years and that I've seen more times than any other. The video store gave it to me when I rented it too much.

Many of Donald Trump's top appointments are unpopular. More Americans strongly or somewhat disapprove than approve of 15 out of the 16 appointees in a new survey. (@today.yougov.com) More, via Opinion Today: opiniontoday.substack.com/p/250921

(Un)Happy 30th!

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

The musical performances scheduled to take place at Sunday night’s premiere of Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery have been canceled as Disney — parent company of the doc’s distributor, ABC News Studios — continues to deal with the fallout from last week’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

I think at this point it’s probably best if we stop trying to make appeals to Republicans. They sold their souls for absolute power, now they have it. And now that the devil is here, apparently to stay, we should leave them to enjoy their power party in hell. We cannot save them.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Happy 40th!

Happy 50th!

Yo they threw it all the way back, nicely done and Happy 50th!

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Clemson's still getting dudes and going to be able to get dudes but it will no longer be able to out-talent every single team it plays the way it did during Dabo's salad days

if he didn't before Dabo should now completely understand why Nick Saban retired when he did all this stuff's harder when everyone else gets to pay kids, too, and even harder when they can now pay them a lot more than you

BREAKING: The U.S. attorney who is under pressure to charge Letitia James in a mortgage fraud investigation is resigning, AP sources say.

Disney's strategy with Kimmel has been to try to cool things down and figure out how to get its affiliates on board with his show's return to air. There's logic in that. But soon, Bob Iger may have to decide what's more important: Money or liberty. My latest: www.vulture.com/article/bob-...

“Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand.” deadline.com/2025/09/ando...

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

I am making no predictions about whether Disney will do the right thing. I'm only saying that, if the company's thinking two days ago was that this would be a short, not-too-hard news cycle, they now know that is not the case.

The degree to which the entire creative community is massing against Disney right now should not be underestimated. There are people who are staying silent because they don't want to make it more difficult for Iger to walk this back. If he doesn't, I believe things will get much noisier.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Yes. But the Democrats were blamed for bAd MeSsAgInG even though certain voting demos understood what was at stake and didn't need prime time PowerPoints and less giggling from the candidate who said they wouldn't drag us into fascism. All of this really could have been avoided.

Well would you look at that Looking forward to seeing the first skeet in my timeline from a DO SOMETHING who has converted himself (it's always a "him") into an Instant Social Media Democratic Party PR Adviser Expert, what with their "See Democrats, You Need To Take This Info and..." advice...

80's-Running-Paramount-on-Coke* Michael Eisner is BACK, baby! *just a guess, I don't know if he did coke or not, but I wouldn't bet against it, it was the 80's, everybody was doing it "for extra energy"

KTLA is a Nexstar station I have to call my pops back home and remind him and the stepmom that they have been watching and continue to watch the local news on a Sinclair station.

America was given Project 2025 in writing and failed an open book test. In case you didn’t know, Brendan Carr was one of the authors.

When even Tower of Jello™️ Michael Eisner thinks you caved too easily, you REALLY caved too easily.

Gonna get around to watching this Seen & Heard documentary on HBO Max just to check and see who's mentioned and who ain't. Because I happen to know a few badass Black female show creators/showrunners* who came before this "New Generation" who imo have not gotten their flowers... we'll see...

Since Letitia James is trending, I figured I'd share this. I like listening to and watching clips of The Karen Hunter Show on YouTube. And she always leads and ends the clips with this audio, which I initially thought was Karen herself, but is actually taken from a town hall with Letitia...

Definitely going to attempt to make Shrimp Egg Foo Yong at home at some point very soon...

Right wing media is the mainstream media for most Americans. Democratic donors need to invest in media desperately.

I’m pretty convinced that Trump’s lawyers hate him. That entire complaint read like it was copied over from a Stephen Miller speech. Either way, judge struck this down and told the Trump lawyers to try acting like lawyers
