Derek Chauvin was convicted on both state and federal charges for George Floyd's murder. Pardoning him for one wouldn't impact the other. (But a federal pardon would move him back to state prison.)

It’s Supposed to Be the Feminist Horror Movie of the Year. I Hated It. This awards season already has its Promising Young Woman. I couldn’t wait for it to end.

(2/3) working on something that delivers a message or product with actual, substance, pun not intended, be snubbed by the academy for a joke where the dead actress being nominated for it isn’t even really the lead when you break it down… it’s all around a bad taste in my mouth
