Regular viewers will know that I had serious doubts about the 'recovery' well before Trump decided to cause global chaos (and trading opportunities for his buddies). Suffice to say, today's unemployment data is GRIM! Let's have a look... Unemployment rate vs the guesses of clueless ghouls. [🧵 1/n]

For the record, the burning irony of this "Emily Wilson, nepo baby" fuckery is that it's coming from film nerds white knighting Christopher fucking Nolan. If I was that condescending about Emma Thomas, his career-long producer and wife, I'd (rightly) be read for absolute flith. Just stop it.

I know shitting on Emily Wilson is the only PC blood sport available to film tragics, but the daughter of a B-list London literary figure and an Oxford don who taught Renaissance English literature that has been teaching classics at an American college for 25 years is NOT a "nepo baby."

BWM cars now showing owners and unskippable ad for the new Spider Man Film whenever they start the vehicle. This shit needs to become illegal, yesterday, else how long before you have to watch it *before* you can start the vehicle.
