Does someone have a lucrative day job? Is there family money in the mix? Are all the primary people involved in the pub pouring a huge portion of their income into this passion project with no expectation of return? Or what? Thousands of printed papers and a storefront in Bucktown don't come cheap.

I'm glad to learn a little more about the pub, and I think it's cool that they're opening a physical space now, but this just makes the question of "where is all this money coming from?" burn ever brighter in my head. Not in any conspiratorial sense - I just want to know!

IL State House 13th: Demi Palacek is a friend & will make an incredible fighter in the House. IL State Senate 6th: Nick Uniejewski & I've worked on issues together for years. He's rooted in community & has solid values. IL State House 40th: Miguel Alvelo-Rivera is a huge upgrade. A+ on policy. 3/

I'm no longer working for a 501c3, so some election endorsements. IL Senate: not an endorsement but a strategic vote for Stratton. Kelly wasn't perfect (see: crypto) but she was the better choice. But with Kelly lagging way back, voting for her let's Raja win which would be BAD. Very bad. 1/

oh dear

oh they are actually feeling some heat this time huh

Another thing that rules about THE BRIDE! is that I had forgotten knowing that Fever Ray worked on the soundtrack, so I’m thinking “well this nightclub is sounding and looking interestingly anachronistic” and then bang there’s Karin on stage in character!

I hate genAI and I know a lot of it is trained off porn but we gotta stop calling any woman with makeup and pouty lips "porn faced" There are other ways to describe it

Leqaa Kordia, detained over Columbia Gaza protests, released from ICE custody gothamist.com/news/leqaa-k...

Inbox: Mayor Mamdani notes that Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia's release from ICE custody comes after he specifically asked President Trump last month to let her out of detention.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

astonishing work from the website that also still holds the title of "weirdest and stupidest change to its t&c"

I don’t use genAI *because* I understand how it works.

wonderful. can a judge order that he must "get the Lockjaw at end of OBAA treatment" next?

It’s incredibly tempting but as soon as your critique of art or entertainment becomes “if you like this then the following thing must be wrong with you” then I think something has gone wrong.

I have been equally annoyed by both OBAA’s win and some of the anti-OBAA takes I’ve read today, so in conclusion I occupy this space with my perfect nuanced opinions.

Ryan Coogler is a class act. Running back to get Autumn’s son so he could be close enough to really see his mom’s speech for her historic Best Cinematography win.

There's not going to be a funnier casting decision this year than Maggie Gyllenhaal thinking "hmm, a matinee idol who is actually kind of an asshole? how about MY BROTHER?"

THE MASTER didn’t win a single Oscar. It didn’t even get a best picture or director nomination. They gave Best Actor & Supporting Actor that year to Day Lewis & Waltz for LINCOLN & DJANGO: fine actors doing one-note work. Best picture that year? Fucking ARGO.

That's the Oscars promise!

Congratulations Jessie Buckley for winning Best Actress in a Leading Role for THE BRIDE!

did you know that he has such control over his facial that one twin has dimples and the other doesn't? DIMPLES. He wore different size shoes to change his gait and his walk for each twin to differentiate them further.

Javier Bardem do you denounce the concept of fictional characters

there are police reports and accounts from her friends and family this isn't a mystery

to the "madonna later denied it" people: gee i wonder why madonna would want to protect the image of a very rich and powerful famous man who is known for horrific violence who also assaulted her more then once

The man has been arrested for assault a gazillion times over the years including at least one case of attempted murder. He is a violent monster and I'm genuinely surprised he hasn't actually killed anyone yet. And maybe has and we just haven't heard about it.

hey remember when Sean Penn kidnapped Madonna, held her captive, bound and gagged her, and beat the shit out her?

Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

“No to war and free Palestine.” -Javier Bardem #Oscars

shoutout to Javier Bardem for being the only person to straight up say Free Palestine on stage at the oscars tonight (at least thus far)

that boy miles caton really has a fuckin voice on him

This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names. Good on Amy and Ed.

I think the idea level of fame is: famous enough to get invited to be filmed picking your faves Criterion Closet; obscure enough that most people are like "who the fuck is this, get Willem Dafoe back"

TONIGHT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE YOUNG!

STREETS OF FIRE HIVE NOW IS OUR TIME

Amy Madigan becomes, FINALLY, the first Oscar winner from STREETS OF FIRE

I value anyone who commits to the bit this much.

I wouldn’t call it perfect but I am firmly in the @veradrew22.bsky.social camp of thinking that THE BRIDE! is an absolute cinema experience, sod the haters. Takes ridiculously big swings right out of the gate and mostly they work. The laugh out loud moments are deliberate!

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

And I start laughing like a child And I mark their faces one by one Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last And I will burn hotter than the sun

Well, they come and pull me from my house And they drag my body through the streets And the sun's so hot I think I'll catch fire and burn up In the summer air so moist and sweet

There is no deadline There is no schedule There is no plan we can fall back on

Yeah, but you're going to do What you want to do No matter what I ask of you And you send your dark messengers To tempt me I come from Chino so all your threats are empty

there’s no explanation but i assume trump take buffy

The extension of the Gaza genocide to the whole of the Middle East

This is only acceptable if you’re covering Tim Curry’s “Anything Can Happen On Halloween”
