Spoke to @marawilson.bsky.social , @alexwinter.com , @alyssamilano.bsky.social , Alison Pill, Christy Carlson Romano, and more about child actors, and how Hollywood could actually improve the conditions they work in. The answer: maybe! www.vanityfair.com/story/child-...

No LLM could ever write a line as beautifully human as "you're a sensitive aesthete/brush the sauce onto the meat"

Too many have forgotten the ancient knowledge (that Taye Diggs's name comes from the playful pronunciation of Scotty as "Scottay")

So much ink has been spilled about the masculinity crisis when we could solve it with a simple four-pronged plan: - be swift as the coursing river - with all the force of the great typhoon - with all the strength of the raging fire - mysterious as the dark side of the moona

Sometimes a targeted ad feels like a personal attack

Pride and Prejudice really captures a universal experience (thinking someone sucks, but changing your mind when you see how nice their house is)

(barenaked ladies voice) Tippity Tommy The Tommy Teepell Went to a town hall And he lost the people

While beautiful bold-faced names have been trapped in all manner of unlikely locales—a luxury apartment! Stanford University! Hugh Grant’s house!—there’s never been a movie about a hot guy who gets swallowed by a whale. Until now.

Dropping my mug like Chazz Palminteri at the end of The Usual Suspects people.com/dragons-love...

Counterpoint: America is SO back

Those who cannot remember that Zendaya is Meechee are condemned to repeat it

We are reaching new levels of "stupid Watergate" every single day

Why do I even bother writing when my seven year old’s library book has explained things so succinctly

Adorable 4-ish-year-old girl as she swings around and tries to climb the subway pole: “DADA, it’s not naptime! It’s SHOWTIME”

I need a dark comedy about these kids jockeying for parts in the spring musical

Like Oppenheim and Fielder, you too may leave You Can See Everything not knowing whether Elizabeth Holmes is an unrepentant con artist, a quixotic zealot, an alien from outer space, or some even more outrageous fourth possibility. www.vanityfair.com/story/you-ca...

You can See Everything, the Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes doc, truly is that girl

I did not like Digger, but I do sort of appreciate what Digger represents? (For Tom Cruise's career, I mean. The movie is bad.) www.vanityfair.com/story/tom-cr...

Did you even write a debut novel if it's not stirring and luminous

Lol yes what could it be, this is a real head scratcher

If you know exactly how many “alright”s are in Hey Ya, don’t forget to take your statin today

Princess, madam, soldier-spy. Florence Pugh, who has an extraordinary knack for steering through Hollywood’s choppy waters, plays all three onscreen this year. Read the full cover story from Vanity Fair's @busis.bsky.social: vanityfair.visitlink.me/-fh4Kq

Choosing to believe the last word in this alert is “hummus”

All the children at the zoo started melting down at 4:30, but staggered their screams so each could get a solo moment to shine. It was like listening to carol of the bells

Who else is excited for fall television?! www.vanityfair.com/story/fall-t...

Mrs. America is not perfect, but it does have a lot going for it—namely, great performances (Rose Byrne as Gloria Steinem! Cate Blanchett as Phyllis Schlafly!) and a knockout episode in which Sarah Paulson *almost* has a feminist awakening. Worth revisiting imo! www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

RIP to Tim Curry, who was so good in so many things and also so scary in IT that he drove a girl at my elementary school into therapy

Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of a notoriously bad book, is a fascinating guy, and Chris Cox wrote a great and wild story about visiting him at his Arizona compound www.vanityfair.com/story/the-wi...

“Warsh under pressure” is a pittsburgher’s advice for getting out a tough stain

What if we kissed at the infant-friendly screening of teenage sex and death at camp miasma

Usha and JD Vance's Yale Law friends have a Signal chat where they gather to talk about how weird it is that they've become Usha and JD Vance www.vanityfair.com/story/usha-v...

Talked to Patrick Ball, a.k.a. The Pitt's Dr. Langdon, who like you was shocked to learn that his character's first name is "Frank" www.vanityfair.com/story/patric...

Three year old, sobbing as he uses woke preschool language to express his anguish: "she is not LISTENING to my MESSAGES!!"

“I think we’d all do well to adopt an edict I just invented called the ‘30 Rock’ rule," writes @busis.bsky.social. "A wait in line should last no more than 22 minutes. If it goes on longer than that...whatever’s at the end of that rainbow simply does not deserve you." vanityfair.visitlink.me/Wtn2LE

One Night Only is a sexual hydra: Every time it answers one question, two more grow in its place. Please enjoy my descent into madness as I try to explain how this baffling world works www.vanityfair.com/story/one-ni...

You either die Fantine, or you live long enough to see yourself become Madame Thénardier

Finally, someone at 60 minutes brave enough to ask tough questions like “should women have jobs”

In case you also see this and are like "a magazine writer had a spare $2.6 million?!" let me save you the trouble: his husband was one of the first few hundred employees at Google

Near the beginning of minions and monsters, a Cyclopes steps on a prehistoric Lego. It was such a delight to hear a theater full of parents howl in recognition of his pain

Did you know that The Odyssey is sort of about how Elon Musk specifically sucks www.vanityfair.com/story/the-od...

Whether you’re at home or abroad, in a city or in the country, trying to think or trying to clear your head, there’s simply nothing like Walking Around

Sort of funny that the story of the Platner campaign is also the plot of the Jon Stewart movie Irresistible, but somehow dumber

Couldn't fit this into the piece, but the belief that the left needs its own oaf means that Trump is still dictating the rules of engagement. Believing 1) white working class men are the voters that matter and 2) that they will only vote for themselves is just MAGA with a different coat of paint.

Right before calling their girlfriends in Canada

This is a wonderful appreciation of John Klassen. There are no better books for turning your toddlers into soft goths
