I'd bet this was written by AI. It's got that ring to it, especially "their lives would be drastically changed..." If it was, that somehow makes it worse.

Smarter-than-thou atheism isn’t getting us anywhere. It’s long-past time to embrace this.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

β€œthe cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

It's an American travesty that there is no 4K blu-ray of L.A. Confidential.

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer β€˜Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because β€œWe’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...

Even the most privileged lives are often mundane, routine. I truly believe things like Jan. 6th and this descent into madness is because a lot of people got bored.
