She opened for Swans on the To Be Kind tour and was an absolute trip. It was like stepping into Cabaret a decade down the line to see Sally still performing while the Soviets were pushing into Germany.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

The more I think about it the more I think this has one of the most baffling endings I’ve ever seen, of Mikey Madison’s whistleblower doing a literal “Don’t You Forget About Me” fist pump before the text epilogue mentions FB continues to operate unabated and with malign influence

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Well there you have it folks. Bad seeds and cool daddies will be let loose once again. Get your egg creams to go and get home now.

Very pleasantly surprised by this, not only for its decently gnarly effects but a perspective on Gotham that hasn’t really come through in other live action adaptations.
In CLAYFACE, Gotham takes on the atmosphere of active malevolence it so often exudes in the comics. Read @jakecole.bsky.social's review.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

Thank you to @sepinwall.bsky.social for actually writing this and talking to me for it, and to @garyjackson.bsky.social for the most concise summation of Sorkin’s ethos I’ve ever seen: “I want to be rude to a blonde woman.”
Consider this an alert to outlets that cover entertainment: The 20th anniversary of “Studio 60” is coming up in September and every comedy writer on earth will talk to you about their continued horrified fascination with it.

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...
There are so many reactions saying Fielder fell in love with Elizabeth and I can understand at a glance how you could see that but this I think gets at what is so mesmerizing about his behavior in it which is he is in real time always realizing these ppl go so much deeper than he fathomed

Worked thru my Radiance Histoire(s) du cinéma set and tested the annotated subtitle track and granted I didn’t watch much of it with this track but it seemed underwhelming? The release description made it sound like it was gonna ID the film clips used but it just notes when the text is a movie title
