Soon the Ellisons will not allow this news to air if they own CNN. Are they the new Murdochs?

Enten: "Congratulations to Ken Paxton. You are the least popular Texas Senate GOP nominee this century. No one was even in the negative, and you're at -16."

The new movie Shaun the Sheep The Beast of Mossy Bottom is nonstop chaos with elaborate and ingenious sight gags. Truly bonkers and very lovable.

Shame on Warner Bros. for shelving Coyote vs. Acme. What a thoroughly enjoyable movie, funny and clever with a skillful mix of humans and cartoon characters.

@momanyc.bsky.social is currently showing the films of legendary martial arts movie director Yuen Woo-Ping. He did a lively q&a after a screening of his new epic Blades of the Guardians and spoke with Ang Lee after a showing of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. So special to see Yuen in person twice.

I paid $5.50/gal for 93 octane. $50 to fill the tank. It's all that idiot Trump's fault.

No marmalade on the Ring!

They’re embarrassed that Tafoya is running!

Minnesota US Senate Michele Tafoya defends her comments about people telling her they're embarrassed to be from Minnesota: "I hear it every day ... I heard it 10 minutes ago"

It’s good to have Ted Lasso back though not all the humor works. I’m finding Rebecca’s storyline very forced and not funny at all.

I just heard Edward Norton wrote his key monologue for the movie The Invite. I’m impressed.

When is Taylor Farms going to be forced to close its doors?

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2mo ago

Taylor Farms, which has been linked to a large outbreak of cyclosporiasis associated with iceberg lettuce in the United States, said on Sunday that it was voluntarily recalling several of its products made with fresh jalapeños that have been tied to a multistate salmonella outbreak

Is The Morning Show worth watching?

But we can’t have Medicare, Social Security, affordable groceries, etc.

President Trump unveiled plans for a $22.5 billion redesign of Dulles International Airport on Wednesday, characterizing the reconstruction as part of his broader efforts to remake the Washington region.

Trump and Co. determined to destroy everything. He wants us all to die.

Stephen Miller deserves to be locked up for life.

Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · 3mo ago

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Bluesky watching scaffolding together

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

The latest episode of Widow’s Bay on Apple TV with Hamish Linklater as a devilish ancestor of the island is the creepiest one yet but also so much fun. This series continues to surprise.

Today @filmforumnyc.bsky.social screened a pristine 35mm print of The Happy Time (1952), a charming and funny film about a French-Canadian family living in Ottawa with Charles Boyer, Louis Jourdan, Marcel Dalio, Bobby Driscoll. Kander and Ebb adapted the story into a 1968 Broadway musical.

My niece teaches at MIT and their computers were hacked. She spent the entire weekend trying to retrieve final papers and putting in grades again that vanished. And I’m told this happened at universities nationwide, someone trying to get personal info on students. Has anyone seen news on this?

How blessed was I to see legendary actor Tony Leung speak three nights in a row about his career and his latest movie Ildeko Enyedi’s Silent Friend in which he plays a neuroscientist with a spiritual connection to a gingko tree. At Film at Lincoln Center/Angelika.

Started watching Widow’s Bay which seems like a variation on Best Medicine with more ominous elements. This time it’s Matthew Rhys who annoys his neighbors as mayor. Entertaining though the first episode seemed a bit repetitive.

Luminous actress Irene Jacob talked about Kieslowski at a Metrograph screening of The Double Life of Veronique last night. Film seems as fresh as when it was released, and Jacob and the film remain mesmerizing. But what does the ending mean? @metrographnyc.bsky.social

Elle Fanning’s Oscar nomination was no fluke. She’s equally fine in Margo’s Got Money Troubles. She keeps growing as an actress. It’s also fun that Michelle Pfeiffer plays her mom.

I love Schmigadoon! now on Broadway. I liked the Apple TV+ show but the stage adaptation is totally enchanting with a great cast, fun songs and lots of dancing. Please support this love letter to musicals.

Will Stephen Colbert ever do another talk show? Opinions, please.

i feel like you all need this

This was amazing. People were cheering each time the dial was spun.

We now see what he’s like with no guardrails. He’s a disaster.

The President of the United States is a liar.
