Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Latest post is my own two cents on how, at least in the acting categories, whether we're on the verge of another OscarsSoWhite this year. Take a look! (Side note: While things aren't as bad here on the other place, still limited interactions to avoid hideous comments just in case.)

This is unfortunate. Not only because Asia Kate Dillon is a terrific actor but how this is an ongoing trend with trans/non-binary actors. I mean, despite being an Oscar nominee with a scene-stealing role in a billion-dollar hit/BP frontrunner, Elliot Page said he's not getting flooded with offers.

Halfway through CARRIE, which I'm liking so far, and one positive note is Josie Totah as Tina Blake. Whereas in previous adaptations, Tina is written mostly as Chris' henchwoman, here, she's an exemplification of how even those at the top of the high school hierarchy will try one-upping each other.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

*slight groan* As much as it's not too surprising because he's not politically vocal, still. *slight groan* Look, I don't expect celebs to give their stance on everything. But to be a celeb with a platform and say "I'm not political/I have no public stance" is pure cowardice.

Besides the fact it's not even a horror-comedy despite having small funny moments, OBSESSION going the Musical/Comedy route at the Globes I think deprives Inde Navarrette of an easier win for Actress-Drama. Because Actress-M/C is already competitive with Julianne Moore and Olivia Wilde.

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.
