Harlequin France is canceling contracts with translators to use AI. Publishers rushing to cut their own feet off befuddles me.

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Imagine actually making Misery, or The Princess Bride. Imagine the same person making This Is Spinal Tap and A Few Good Men. Imagine in your whole career making a hit as resonant as Ghosts of Mississippi, or When Harry Met Sally, or Stand By Me. You'd weep if you made just one thing that good.

TMZ reporting Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead with wounds consistent with a knife

I’m a single issue voter and my issue is that those busses that bend in the middle should make accordion noises

oh, one more thing, news com au reports the hero is Ahmed El-Ahmed, owner of a fruit stall. www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering. Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed. At least two suspects are in custody.

The fact Sinners didn't make Variety's best movies of the year list tells you pretty much everything you need to know about Hollywood. The backlash the movie has received is fascinating, mostly coming across as, "How dare you be so successful?"

Nice one, Spidey.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

DC running 8.5 degrees below average through the first 10 days of Dec and more cold ahead... BUT a pattern change is increasingly likely before Christmas. Should lead to warmer temperatures by late next week or so. Could definitely last into the holiday if it takes hold. More at cwg.live.

I usually renew my National Parks Pass in December anyway, but if you buy a 2025 pass this month, it is valid until the end of December 2026 and has a significantly more attractive Roseate Spoonbill.

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.

An entire cohort absolutely ruined by the realization they would never be better writers than TNC and resolved never to let it happen again

The Mononoke film trilogy ends on May 29!

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation

Bsky did what now??? 😐

movie theaters forever!

Loser shit

Yo, did an American injury lawyer firm really take out an ad on this true crime YouTube channel from a South Korean reporter who talks about lesser known international cases? What the hell are we doing?

Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last

Made my first gingerbread chai latte of the season and it was great!

Foggy morning on Sunday at the Capitol in #DC! #NoFilter @capitalweather.bsky.social @meteormolly.bsky.social

Oh hey, it's the same things that keeps happening again and again, and makes my blood boil each time!

never in a billion years did i know this

Free advice: if you find Quentin Tarantino bashing you in the press… repeat after me. “I was unaware that Harvey Weinstein’s best friend was so critical of me and my work.”

A Stepmother's Marchen launched the new season on Tapas, and I am gagging over this art

Sinners got 17 Critics Choice award nominations, the most of any film. Best Picture, Best Director, Actor, Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay, Young Actor, Casting, Production Design, Costume Design, Cinematography, Editing, Hair & Makeup, Sound, Visual Effects, Score, Song, Casting.

The GAP ad with Katseye remains superior

I wouldn’t be here without you. Every bit of support helps me keep creating, and I appreciate it more than words can say!

The sun has come out 🎶

Ok, I don't go here but if Jungkook and Winter ARE dating, good for them! I hope they have a happy relationship and the fans/media/knetz don't get them down.

I just want some of these fucking people to face real consequences

First snow of the season!
