I hope film industry execs are noticing that the movies that are getting people excited and into the theaters right now are so gloriously fucking WEIRD. No formulas, no existing IP, just big, wild swings and beautiful strangeness from real human brains.

I just saw You Can See Everything. It is so much more bonkers--and brilliant--than I expected. My only critique is that it needs at least two points where they turn off the projector so the audience can scream for a minute.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

It is not surprising that a member of the Trump administration claims to be a lawyer when she has only graduated from law school and has not passed the bar in any state. It is surprising that a member of the Trump administration bothered to go to law school before making the claim.

GodDAMMIT, Universe. I know you have a quirky sense of humor, but please do not force me root for Kimberly Guilfoyle. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-inside...

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Normally I dislike those Coco delivery robots, but today on my lunchtime walk I saw one that had been named Sisyphus.

One thing we have not studied enough about billionaires is why having all that money turns them into such a pathetic whiny little screech babies.

What's Twitter like with the Russian bot farms down? Just Elon and tumbleweeds?

@txvoodoo.bsky.social Happy birthday!

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Oh boy. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Sumbitch has never in his life known when to make an exit, so I don't know why I keep hoping every day. But I do.

Putting your life in the hands of the technology that cannot successfully count the number of rs in strawberry.

@virgotex.bsky.social Happy birthday!

Sinema and Boebert sit in chairs upright with both feet on the floor and their arms on the armrests.

Normally, I would not presume to speak for the entire bi community, but I feel confident in doing so here: LAUREN BOEBERT IS NOT OURS. WE ARE NOT TAKING HER. She and Kyrsten Sinema can form their own special thing if they want, but SHE IS NOT OURS.

Bruce Davis, who served as chief executive of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for more than 20 years, has died. He was 83.

We are going to have to do something about the tech billionaires before they start needing organ transplants.

I have decided that Dolly Parton and Tim Curry are the far swing of a pendulum. They have closed up the tear of absurdity that opened up when David Bowie and Prince left. Things will gradually start to get less stupid and horrifying from here on out. I will not be taking any questions.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I've seen someone argue that his take on Common People is better than Pulp's/Jarvis Cocker's, because it brings across the working class rage of the lyrics better: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ainy...

There is not enough joy in this world. And that is in part because not enough of you have heard William Shatner's rendition of "Mr. Tambourine Man." youtube.com/watch?v=SUXR_qs_6QA

When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

FML my cats just tore my new wicker spouse to shreds.

MF figured out how to ruin the moon too. apnews.com/article/spac...

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

Relatedly, a reminder that "AI" will just make shit up about you

I agree!

The ex video clerk in me is making a mental note to be very very VERY sure which movie about a wicker man the customer wants.

literally impeach him just for this

minnesota state senator directly taking on musk and his big pockets PRECISELY HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE DOING IT

Yes, I need to work on a writing assignment for my class, but isn't it more important to email my little sister a detailed survey of the episodes I consider to be the best starter Columbos?

Maybe someday someone will invent a way to post a video online without adding one of the same five cheesy goddamned songs clips to it.
