On 'The Pitt' Season 2's Finale: The Story Owes You Nothing When we're too obsessed with plot and not obsessed enough with story, we risk losing whatever substance mass-produced media has left.

The wild reaction and incessant fan demands surrounding THE PITT Season 2 got me riled up, so I decided to take to @popheist.com and use this particular fandom moment to make a very important point about fiction.

The Story Owes You Nothing.

It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.

Uni has a bladder infection, but he’s energetic and eating well, so I’m relieved. I hope he gets better soon

but also the Iranian regime, while murderous and categorically evil, is not nearly as suicidally dedicated to purveying genocide as Israel, and yet Israel hasn't used its nukes either, because they understand those are chiefly a deterrent

"okay but what if Iran decides to blow up *Tel Aviv* completely unprovoked" ok so first of all at this point it is impossible for anyone in the area to do anything against Israel that counts as unprovoked

"but what if Iran decides to blow up new york completely unprovoked" what if the world was made of pudding

if they had a nuke none of this shit would have happened because mutually assured destruction is the only language the US is capable of speaking anymore

this may be controversial to some but Iran having a nuclear weapon would be considerably more beneficial to world peace at this point than them not having one

"Penrose recognised that defeating eugenics was not just a scientific problem, but a political one too... If the history of the interactions between eugenics & genetics tells us anything, it is that political movements may continually adapt in response to a constantly changing scientific landscape"

bored. gonna test my Creature.

A picture of a majestic humpback whale leaping from the seas with the caption “humpback whales are forming super-groups”, rather than simply admire the wonder of nature I am making a poor quality music gag

This is why whale punk had to happen

Henry Hill: [Narrating] For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean, they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.

As I said all along: shit gangsters. Shit gangsters all the way down.

The *entire Starmer project* needs to be understood as one big Jobs For The Boys operation. That’s why McSweeney - Labour’s squillionaire bungs officer - spent 2017-19 running around telling dejected MPs to hold tight, because he was going to hook them back up with their clout, status and freebies.

The social media pivot from chronological timelines to popular-first was done at least partly to throttle real time organizing

The Jackson estate can't hide Leaving Neverland from those who've already seen it A suppressive legal battle turned the moving Sundance documentary Leaving Neverland into a ghost haunting the Michael Jackson biopic.

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

meet me at the dark landmark known to us as “unc’s folly”. we have a lot to discuss

Michael Clayton is of course great to lock in on with 150 other Claytonheads. Maybe the only time I’ve clapped in a movie theater. Someone shrieked when the cops caught Michael in the loft, and everyone laughed, really showing how tense the movie can be!

Love this so much! Disabled animals are fascinatingly adaptable. My local zoo has a one-armed gibbon & he is one of my favorite animals to visit & observe.
