REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
America is always like “ok but the NEXT regime change will work,” like when I “cut out carbs” briefly every January.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
This is a huge betrayal of the contestants. Netflix had all the time in the world to ask for a format change well before the casting process began. I would have hoped the show would have told them to go pound sand
RIP to my dad, who passed away earlier this morning, just a month before his 73rd birthday. Nothing prepares you for aging parents, and very few things are more cruel than seeing loved ones suffer near end-of-life. But at least he's no longer in pain after a lifetime of health problems. Love you Dad

Being a production assistant is a rite of passage for some workers in Hollywood, but during the industry contraction it’s turned into a bit of a holding cell. We talked to PAs across the country about their experiences in 2025. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
Should have gotten one for Ordinary People at the least.
People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.
The more our culture doubles down on the idea that arts criticism is unnecessary (and critics are the enemy), the stupider and less curious our world will become…
Devastating times.
There are no words to fully express my enmity and disgust at the people who voted for this. A national day of shame.
Increasingly difficult to argue with this conclusion. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

For me also from Silence of the Lambs: "Ready when you are, Sgt. Pembry"
I really hate this timeline where America is being held hostage by fucking ghouls variety.com/2025/politic...
This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
Terrific read on a sobering subject. We as a society are going to pay very dearly if we do not reign in AI with sufficient guardrails www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
Two weeks ago millions of people in this country marched saying "NO KINGS."
The Supreme Court this week responded, "SORRY FOLKS, YES, WE HAVE A KING."
Always difficult to list just 10
So very sorry for your loss

Much as I appreciate the Cheneys and many of Bush 43's administration in their vocal opposition to Trump, their pursuit of the unitary executive in the 2000s got us on this timeline.
Even at a time when Hollywood crews are struggling, production assistants (PAs) are pushing ahead with an ambitious, sprawling effort to unionize their entire cohort nationwide. Inside their effort: www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
