"The choice underlines the lack of seriousness in Nolan’s thinking about his themes: the ethical and cultural costs of entering other people’s homes uninvited, for the purpose of extracting resources without respect for an unwilling host."

I wrote about TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA for Reverse Shot. I think it is an extraordinary film - a dizzying, unabashedly kitschy stoner rom-com. I sung its praises + did a temp check on "Trans Cinema" below: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr...

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Anybody at @moderation.bsky.app want to try to explain why they suspended @matthewcort.land, ANOTHER of the most prominent people out here fighting for disabled and marginalized people? Like… are y'all planning to suspend/ban literally every disabled legal scholar/policy worker out here, orrrr…?

“I always get asked, ‘Why do you turn around?’ And I always answer, ‘So you don’t have to.’” With HADESTOWN a box-office smash, I asked three of its original Broadway principals—Reeve Carney, Eva Noblezada and Amber Gray—to discuss their experiences filming it, for @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/3hW

respectfully, we've taken a few days to talk about the translator's take on The Odyssey and I would like to get back to my original question of "Why Did Odysseus Put That One Suitor In A Dragon Sleeper and Who Taught Him How to Do That in Ancient Greece?" if that's okay
