I know that man’s somewhere flinging ketchup at a wall rn lol

But imagine you sit there w your head bowed and she doesn’t move or worse she up and leaves. It would haunt me the rest of my days

Spectacular find

Thank you God for ‘The Pitt’ being back. I know that sounds flippant in the wake of all this insanity but having one thing to look forward to every week matters, even if it’s just an hourlong work of fiction

Chloé Zhao using “On The Nature Of Daylight” is dirty pool. You got me, girl, I’m already feeling all the things, no need to use that song to emotionally mug me (even tho it totally worked) #Hamnet

Still reeling from this, still need a whole lotta help to cover next year, if you feel so inclined, consider a subscription?

‘Welcome to Derry’: We’re In a Bit of a Pickle Send in the clowns!

The premiere of ‘Welcome to Derry’ hasn’t instilled much hope in me when it comes to carrying the torch that IT and all its adaptations (yes even the first one) once lit

I haven’t been this gobsmacked by an ending since ‘The Usual Suspects’

To hell with this. Richard is one of our finest critics, and Vanity Fair and its readers are so much poorer for this incredibly stupid decision.

My life is now better for knowing this

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

Per @npr.org, the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the White House U.S. DOGE Service, has built a searchable national citizenship register with data from the Social Security Administration & immigration records— without public notice & comment.

Two images of Zohran. On the left is the original from the campaign which shows a close cropped beard. On the right is a version used by Cuomo’s SuperPAC with an artificially longer, darker beard.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.

His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

The hype is real: ‘Sinners’ is amazing. I could nitpick a few minute details but they literally don’t matter when a movie is this strong, this self-assured, this PASSIONATE. I can see this landing on pretty much everyone’s top ten lists at the end of the year.

michelle williams meeting michelle williams is so important to me as a fan of michelle williams and michelle williams

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.

Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

After being handcuffed and beaten all night, Hamdan Ballal is free and about to go home to his family, says co-director Yuval Abraham:

Last Call for ‘Severance’ Theories The finale lies ahead. What weird theories can we play with until then.

I stayed away from ‘Severance’ forums to give space to my own imaginings. Now w the finale nearly upon us, I decided to share a few of my guesses on what possibly lies ahead, including one rather wild swing of a theory
