I really hope this has knock on effects for the rest of the country. Throw Lime on the pile too.

Something I think those of us who grew up in 90s or earlier are going to have to internalize — and will always struggle to remember — is that US voters no longer accept the fiction that politics is a contest between liberal and conservative ideas, rather than faction-based culture war by other means

Medicine. All of it. I was saved by biologics, and has kept my autoimmune condition in remission for 20 years. Everyday I see cancer patients experience less suffering, and living longer by years compared to my parents. Talk to any type 1 diabetic who transitioned to CGMs and insulin pumps.

"No amount of spin can sugarcoat the utter disaster of layoffs, creative consolidation, and sheer mediocrity that awaits if Richie Rich runs roughshod over the industry he claims to love so much." Get 'im, @mcastimovies.bsky.social!

Not only is David Ellison lying about his film plan, it's not even a good lie

Paramount Skydance CEO and heir apparent David Ellison is very upset that the media landscape can see right through him.

You actually don't have to do the "well, you know, I disagree with MAHA but they're right that there are real problems with The System" thing. That's a concession you absolutely do not have to make.

Like I know this site needs to pretend their was some terrible material suffering going on under Obama in 2015 that could only be solved by voting for Trump but no "voters were bored and thought it'd be funny" is what actually happened.

I wrote about Spider-Man: Brand New Day for @scriptmagazine.bsky.social - scriptmag.com/spider-man-b...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Script Hews Close to Theme and Proves There’s Still Creative Vitality at Marvel

This film does a lot of things right for screenwriters of any stripe to learn from.

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Jesus Christ. Sophie Cunningham fully embracing the right wing grift.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

With regard to AI, what if we just ... didn't? Like with other stupid shit we didn't wanna do? Has anyone considered just ... not, and continuing to do the things we want to do and are good at, that people already seem to value? Maybe it wouldn't work, but whatever this is isn't working either.

Happy Spider-Man Day! “Anyone can wear the mask.”

Well 1 HCQ tablet world have had the same effect on COVID-19 as 1M; none. But what is clear is that some appear to have been driven by profit, not evidence or health. Now they accuse Dr Fauci of ruining their business opportunity? That is what all this is about?

No, the COVID-19 vaccines used, made by Pfizer and Moderna, do not contain foetale tissue. This is an antivax myth. No, they are also not produced using foetale tusse-derived cell lines. Unbelievable this is said by a member of Congress.

I disagree with Spanberger on many things. But, let us please be real. The most conservative Democrat you know is orders of magnitude better than any “moderate” national Republican you could name from the past 20 years of GOP politics.

Give Tim Burton the Táin Bó Cúailnge, only because the Hyde design in “Wednesday” is the closest thing to a warp-spasm I’ve seen on the screen

ok let's do a discourse: what historical text absolutely needs the big budget film treatment, AND will create the need for a review by a scholar in a prestige publication? for medieval Europe, either: -- Song of Roland -- Book of Margery Kempe

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

As someone who was close to someone who was VERY MUCH in the ICU trenches during covid in NYC in 2020-2021 and saw what that did to them I think that ICU healthcare workers in particular should be legally allowed to [redacted under ToS] with hammers

I can tell that the anti-teen pregnancy crusade of the 90s worked because I am now 39 years old and whenever a peer joyfully tells me they’re pregnant my first impulse is “holy shit oh no oh no I don’t think they let you play soccer if you’re preggers”

Just think if they went after Epstein criminals who raped children like they are going after Dr. Fauci.

Glonzo eats power lines. That's astronomically more charismatic and interesting than anything Douthat has done. #GlonzoFor60Minutes

LMFAO

“Do something” has rotted brains man

Fucking hell as if receiving automated rejection letters for jobs wasn't bad enough.
