Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

yesterday my mother dropped this one on me: “a girl i went to college with became a nun and was later murdered by the military in el salvador.”

every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

the airport is the only place where it is socially acceptable to order a bloody mary at any time of the day

stay safe out there

warner bros clockwork coming out of the gate with some of the best marketing for a film i've ever seen, and the fact that it's for a 55-year-old film is even more impressive

c’mon guys…

“i was once on las culturistas” will remain the biggest thing i brag about

Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, and that’s how Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

a colleague once told me that she was surprised i text in lowercase because i’m so well organized and type-a

Bari Weiss' handpicked foreign editor referred to the allegations facing Benjamin Netanyahu as a "sideshow" and told correspondent Holly Williams she was "wrong" to try to mention them in her story, per leaked audio I obtained of Tuesday's heated internal meeting. www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

Scoop: Lesley Stahl's "60 Minutes" piece on the extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank spurred HEATED clashes behind the scenes at CBS News, with Bari Weiss "very, very hands-on." Stahl grew so frustrated, she floated quitting. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

ben affleck’s ANIMALS is bad and a blatant rip off of HIGH AND LOW without giving credit to the previous film or the book it was based on. but more shockingly, it depicts frogtown as an underpoliced, violent part of the city? the neighborhood my friend takes her kid for gymnastics class???
