Talking shit about people behind a Patreon paywall is already loser behavior, but especially when the target is a trans writer who got punished by a corporation as part of the Charlie Kirk crackdown

we escape, and hail Virgo, the Virgin! that’s our first love

I'm writing about Dune again! For @goldderby.com, I took a virtual walking tour of the Dune: Prophecy sets with production designer Tom Meyer, who pointed out many fascinating details! The secret to doing Dune on screen is conveying its lore through the environments www.goldderby.com/tv/2025/dune...

sometimes when you're very overdue on doing laundry, your only shirts available are your worst shirt, for obvious reasons, and your favorite shirt, which you have reserved in case of emergency. this is known as the Launderer's Paradox and may result in you wearing your favorite shirt to walgreens

Glad to see Jessica Lee Gagne get an Emmy nom for directing the best episode of Severance s2 — the longtime cinematographer's directorial debut at that! I had a great talk with her last month for @goldderby.com, complete with compliments from most of the cast www.goldderby.com/article/2025...

hahaha

The bully characters ie BIF, Alex P Keaton, Greed is Good, Skinheads - these were all part of the soup of the generation. Cobain et all were OUTLIERS.

The leader of the Democratic Party in Minnesota was assassinated by a cop in her home, one of New York's 3 citywide elected officials was kidnapped on camera by stormtroopers, and Trump is credibly threatening to nuke Iran

Truly deeply sick of the so called serious people in New York being reactionary conservative know-nothings, spending all their time whining about the subways without actually ever riding and falling for macho tough guys.

Wow this NYT op-ed is one of the most reactionary screeds I've read in a minute. An endorsement of indicted criminals Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo that is too cowardly to actually say so outright

This is exactly the kind of thing that US-funded dictatorships used to do in other countries for decades; that's what the Cold War was. Now it's inevitably come home. The fight is here now

thing about Cuomo is his posturing as the "get stuff done" candidate is complete bullshit. he *sucks* at management. an overconfident, sloppy moron who constantly makes howlingly bad decisions bsky.app/profile/timm...

"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard." This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

Illegal right on red. Common suburban driver mistake.

Sad to hear that the Wheel of Time show was canceled; it was doing really interesting things. Last month, I made my @tvguide.com debut writing about how the season 3 climax subverted the idea of an epic fantasy battle — by taking principled nonviolence seriously www.tvguide.com/news/the-whe...

Hahah what a perfect grab bag of modern elite brain-rot. It's all here

The newspaper that gave the world Roger Ebert & published his Pulitzer-winning film criticism for five & a half decades can't be bothered to pay a human freelancer some tiny pittance to compile a summer reading list, so they outsourced it to the free lie generator. I have no joke. This is just sad.

ICYMI, I've got a deep dive into the making of the new Fantastic Four movie, the MCU's great hope. We talk Kirby and Kubrick, finally bringing the FF back to (a version of) the '60s, Galactus!, and more. This is my last story for EW, and I'm proud of how it turned out ew.com/the-fantasti...

Andrew Cuomo is running for Eric Adams’ second term: the same donors, the same agenda, the same chaos. But I believe New Yorkers are hungry for a different kind of politics—one that puts working people first.

But Dem leaders clearly wanted Trump to *succeed*, at least a little, before he starts screwing up. That's why they're voting for all his nominees and told their base to stand down before Election Night was over. They're responding so slowly to Musk's takeover bc they didn't want to fight at all rn

One of the major points of doing DEI (or whatever you want to call it) is a labor insight that lots of people out there could be excellent air traffic controllers or anything else etc, but racism, sexism, whatever drives them out of the workforce until you don’t have all the best people for the job.

I just signed this pledge of support for the @nymagunion.bsky.social during their fight for a fair contract with Vox Media, and you should as well! Corporate bosses clearly think that Trump 2 means they can attack their unions, and we have to show them that won't stand nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

Air disaster at the airport named after guy who fired over ten thousand striking air traffic controllers. Ok

this is also is 100% of the actual reason behind the sudden push of barely functional AI products. workers got a tiny bit of power, and tech ceos responded by desperately trying to make a computer that can replace all workers

Leave it to Mel Brooks to sneak a winking joke into his heartfelt tribute (since his own name is NOT in the credits of The Elephant Man)

A classic materialist reading here is that 2020 gave American tech executives their first real taste of worker militancy, and it scared them so much that they decided they needed to move into the political sphere to crush it.

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

video is the worst online content. text is faster and funnier 99% of the time

Gaza ceasefire is great news, if it holds (Israel has killed 68 Palestinians today so who knows). The reporting from American and Israeli media is very clear that it was Donald Trump's doing www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I reiterate: nobody in charge of anything has any idea what they're doing.

Hell yes, this sounds great

Emilia Perez has Green Book momentum this year. The more that viewers and critics complain about its superficial treatment of important social issues, the more that awards voters say "screw you" and double down. At this rate it could win Best Picture!

Justin Trudeau resigning as prime minister in protest of the insane decision to not give Cristin Milioti the Golden Globe for The Penguin...it's the first time I've admired the man. "Nothing became his life like the leaving of it" Wm Shakespeare

Harrison Ford looks and sounds very stoned at the Globes. Good for him

When he's right, he's right! ew.com/chevy-chase-...

Very amusing whenever reviews of The Brutalist breathlessly praise the upside-down shot of the Statue of Liberty. Yes, thank you, I've seen the poster

babe wake up trump is doing Infinite Jest

American evangelicalism really should be seen as its own religion — not really connected to Christianity at this point

TV motion smoothing conditioned boomers for the arrival of generative AI. The Beast from the Sea marching ahead of the Great Serpent

A striking moment in Marvel's recent Daredevil: Born Again teaser showed Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk sharing a...laugh? Charlie Cox and the showrunner told me how that magical moment came about — and what it says about the two stars' commitment to making this revival work ew.com/daredevil-bo...

I think this guy knows a thing or two about blue skies! #Superman 🎨A.L. Kaplan ACTION COMICS #1076

Yet another data point that Democrats care infinitely more about strangling their left flank than they do about defeating Republicans. If empowering progressives is the best way to counter the right, they would rather lose forever

People have gotten really bad at giving credit. It's bad for all the obvious reasons but it also confuses the audience. I kept seeing people copy-paste an AOC video "reaction" to the Penny verdict this week - I found the original, it was from May 2023. People just spammed for engagement w/o credit

I know I say this every year but god, it really does suck getting 60-degree rain in the middle of December

I wrote about the American dream of Anora, the psychedelic horror of I Saw the TV Glow, and the miraculous achievement of Dune: Part Two for EW's Best Movies of 2024 roundup ew.com/the-best-mov...

"Everything you do on a computer is getting AI interventions grafted into the interface, to prevent you from accomplishing whatever it was you used to be able to accomplish."

Everybody clowning on the alleged assassin for having "contradictory politics." Oh I see, unlike every other American on social media, who all have a perfectly coherent and programmatic political platform!
