There’s some renewed interest in The Process, so here’s my timeline refresher. The Sixers are currently in what I call late-stage Process. It doesn’t end until Embiid is gone. Welcome LeBron. It’s been a journey.
Today we finally published a big list I'd been working on for months; The 100 Most Powerful Directors in Hollywood (as determined by me, with help from a handful of producers, publicists, agents and executives). www.vulture.com/article/100-...
The 100 Most Powerful Directors in Hollywood
10 years ago, franchise producers dominated the movies. In 2026, the buzziest deals belong to auteurs.

Immediate entry in the canon of greatest threads of all time
EMILY WILSON@emilyrcwilson.bsky.social · 2w agoThere is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

It is breaking my brain that live footage can now be color graded like this. I can't tell what's real and what's a bit!

Posting this on Bluesky is like walking into a Philly sports bar and talking about how you've always liked Dak Prescott.
Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 3w agoI got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
The Swiss manager looks like Javier Bardem playing Mads Mikkelsen.
Jude Bellingham got out of England just in time before he could be infected by loser energy. In the future we need to send all teenage phenoms to the Bundesliga ASAP

There's something poetic about the three World Cup host countries all going out in the same round: Canada humbly, Mexico heroically, and the US after a weeklong media controversy that subsumes the game itself.

The most interesting thing about this to me is that the musical Hamilton has negatively polarized conservatives into a favorable opinion of Aaron Burr.

I can't explain it, but there's something so Philadelphian about Mbappe. He looks like his last name should be Detweiler.
I haven't seen Protestant-on-Protestant violence like this since the Thirty Years' War. 🇳🇱🇸🇪
All the Gen z swiss voted No Cap
Financial Times@financialtimes.com · 2mo agoEarly projections on Sunday showed Swiss voters had rejected a proposal to cap the country’s population at 10mn people, delivering a surprise defeat to a rightwing initiative that had appeared neck and neck in opinion polls until just days before the vote ft.trib.al/X3a0hqp
In a sense, the Sixers had an equally successful season as the San Antonio Spurs.
I have never watched a second of this show and devoured this essay nonetheless

There was much discourse on X last week regarding the false, persistent idea that hipsters listened to stomp-clap bands like the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons, which spiraled into a discussion about what hipsters even were. It was all very relevant to my book, so I tried to provide some context...
Hey! Hipsters Did Not Listen To Stomp-Clap
