This is the way. This is ALSO what "Vote blue no matter who" means.

Genuinely having trouble understanding the "10% discount at self-checkout" proposal. Yes, if I do the checkout work myself, my supermarket purchase should technically cost less. But incentivizing that will surely make self-checkout more popular, ultimately putting more checkout workers out of work?

We're just here taking a day trip in our little car, driving carefully, following the rules. And there are always maniacs speeding, RACING, nearly clipping us, flying out of nowhere w/o indicating. The offenders are ALWAYS men. Sick of our lives being risked by dudes with small 🍆s & 💩 for brains.

Hello police I'd like to report a murder.

I've seen a lot of fellow writers post stories about getting shafted. Most don't name the outlet, and I don't blame them one bit. Times are terrible. You could still wind up needing a gig from the place. So I deeply admire Jason for having the guts to name Vulture and give the details.

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

I stopped pitching them. Back in the day, I worked w/ some great editors at Vulture. But Jason's timeline in this thread tracks. They abandoned their steady freelancers. Last I heard from them was a condescending reply to my pitch; a pitch that had everything they claimed they were looking for. 1/2

There are a lot of movie tweets out there that remind me why I am less & less enthusiastic about engaging with opinions around here. Everyone sounds insufferable when they love something, or hate something. You sound crazy the second you forget almost all of this is subjective.

NYers with physical therapy needs & prescription. The info I'm about to share here will change your life. Go to the 57 W 57 location of Spear, ask for Andrele Reyes. Let him fix you the way he fixed me. The guy is a magician & a miracle worker. & naturally, my new favorite NYer.

Later, after "Once" took over the world, and Hansard and Marketa Irglova won the Oscar for the song "Falling Slowly," we saw The Swell Season perform at The Depot. It was one of the most moving concerts I ever attended. RIP. 2/2

"Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You've made it now..." I love ONCE, and crushed to hear about Glen Hansard's tragic passing at such a young age. RIP... 💔 youtu.be/k8mtXwtapX4?...

Revisiting Christopher Nolan's DUNKIRK, and I can't fathom a world in which this isn't his absolute best movie by a healthy margin.

When we weren't looking, some influencers seem to have repositioned the (very rightful) campaign against them as a campaign against women. And they are succeeding in this messaging. I BEG YOU. Please do not fall for this. Continue hating on influencers.

I GOT MY LIFE BACK!!!!!! 😭😭😭

GeniusBar erased my entire MacBook, deeming it corrupt. Did a TimeMachine back up last night; & I'm transferring all back to my laptop rn. There is an hour left, I'm told everything will be exactly the same. BETTER even, b/c they got me up to Tahoe. I'm nervous & nauseous. Ugh.

Vets offices. Your neighborhood eatery. That used-to-be-indie boutique. Ice-cream parlors. I swear, every once-good place is now a chain across the city & has the same soul-sucking venture-capital aesthetic. Today's world truly kills one's spirit.

Ya know, some of us care about nature, eat healthfully, believe in the fact-based (and spiritual!) benefits of exercise, avoid fast food and are skeptical of Big Pharma while *also* believing in science! And we can do all this without embracing dangerous, destructive anti-reality bullshit.

A lot of people in public health believe that MAHA is “nothing more than a subversive anti-vaccine, anti-science syndicate,” but the movement is an opportunity that the public-health sector “cannot afford to squander,” Craig Spencer argues:

I was today years old when I learned that Ronny Cox' Lt. Bogomil in "Beverly Hills Cop" (1984) is two whole years younger than Tomris of today. Please respect my privacy as I process this information in silence.

Matt Johnson's TONY is everything I want from a fun & mature summer flick. Come for young Anthony Bourdain (Dominic Sessa) finding his kitchen legs, stay for a gorgeously tender Antonio Banderas & Leo Woodall's swagger. Great stuff; foul mouths, clambakes, Cape vibes & all...

This administration misunderstood the assignment. They were supposed to make eggs & produce affordable. NOT inedible.

1.6 million eggs recalled at Kroger and other stores over salmonella risk, FDA says

The recall affects white-shell and cage-free eggs sold under multiple grocery brands in six states. No illnesses have been reported.

Volunteering at the food bank this morning and we had to discard 4 cases of Taylor Farms salad bowls that were donated by a local grocery chain a couple of days ago. They gave us recalled food knowing it was contaminated, and wrote it off as a donation. 🤬

They are insulting our intelligence with the whole "Oooh the Taylor Farms positive was a false-positive" crap. I know a lot of humans are stupid, but surely not THIS stupid?

"Those who cheat and play nasty lose" is an outcome I loved seeing today. A phenomenal game of football, and the right parting note the world needed after this World Cup. Bravo, Spain! 🇪🇸⚽️🙏🏼

Have you seen a more beautiful pair of eyes? Well of course you haven't. 🥹♥️
