Old Hollywood understood that glamour worked best when softened by generosity. The new celebrity economy often rewards the opposite: endless self-display without visible obligation to anyone else. #Culture #CelebrityCulture #MediaCriticism #Essays medium.com/new-literary...

Once upon a time, ballrooms meant monarchy. Excess during hardship meant something. Glamour required at least the performance of empathy. Now America’s elites drift through Versailles in ballgowns while warehouse workers collapse under fluorescent lights. #MetGala medium.com/new-literary...

To museum and art lovers - you can give to the MET without going to the gala. You couldn't pay me enough to take a picture with Jeff Bezos and/or his wife. #MetGala #BadTaste #AmazonStudios #BillionaireBend

If anyone is watching Trump speaking at the ceremony for King Charles and Queen Camilla, look at the micro expressions on King Charles face are priceless. Flashes of disgust, embarrassment and more. What an embarrassment Trump is.

Trump trying to take credit for Pope Leo is the most on-brand thing to happen this week. The guy would put his name on the Sistine Chapel if you handed him a sharpie.

Ossoff: "After years of this president trashing our allies, we learned today that the Danish govt was preparing military options to defeat a potential American invasion of Greenland just months ago. The president has treated our allies like they don't matter then demanded they come to his aid."

A war is now an “excursion.” Next week casualties will be “souvenirs.” #Trump #IranWar

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women. As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us: Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

David Kay Johnston says there is photographic and other evidence that Trump raped a girl (about 13 to 14 years of age) in the Epstein files. It just hasn't come out yet. He also said that he thinks that's the one thing that will get his cabinet to oust him based on the 25th amendment.

The Epstein files include complaints and tips about Trump—documented, not speculative. So why does there appear to be no FBI investigation, or even an accounting?

The Epstein file release isn’t transparency. It’s doxxing sexual-assault victims. By dumping identifying details without protection, the Trump DOJ exposed victims to harassment, retaliation, and danger—conduct that would violate rape-shield principles in any courtroom.

DOJ proudly unveils its Limited-Time Reality Collection: Epstein files—now you see them, now you don’t. Allegations involving Trump briefly appear, then vanish. Transparency, but only briefly—and never memorably. medium.com/@leighlovesh... #EpsteinFiles #TrumpGuilt #DOJ #CoverUp
