Any answer other than “the president is a historically stupid man only now he has dementia” is journalistic malpractice

There is also an argument to be made that since Howard Ashman is the epicenter of the Disney Renaissance and the formula established by the Disney Renaissance is the epicenter of Disney's modern cultural value, Howard Ashman is thefore one of the most culturally relevant artists who ever lived

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1%.

This is a really, really strong read. Understanding children on a deep level is truly antithetical to the studio's dream of convervative, universal stories.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

It really is. I go back a little further. I go back to thinking how the world was on September 10, 2001. Then after over a decade of war, Obama gave us hope. Gave us the breathing room to dream. And then it was all shattered in Nov. of 2016. I often remember the good old days.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I know things weren’t perfect (so please no “whatabout”-isms here), but things felt so much more positive and it’s been so hard reconciling that era of positivity, when I thought things would only keep getting better, with this era, where things get worse everyday and no one cares about anything

deeply funny to act like queer people are too complicated for children's animated films to explain like the mario galaxy movie didn't just give wart a speaking role

Official US Foreign Policy: "We're Making It Up As We Go Along."

But Tiana’s series gotta be the one to get shelved?

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

It sucks that basically everyone I know in their 20s barely gets days off work, and yet can't make enough money to save up and enjoy life

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Ive been thinking about how I cannot remember a SINGLE book with a single queer character I read before I was in my 20s.

It took me a L O N G time to come out to myself. I had no representation as a kid for what my sexuality looks like.

This is traumatizing. It's why people need therapy.

The blatant bigotry of this has already been covered, but "we're not making therapy" is pretty rich from the guy who made for example UP and INSIDE OUT.

To be clear: It's always the parents who are not ready to have these conversations, not the kids. Explaining that some dudes like other dudes is not remotely difficult

I had a good friend who was a producer at Pixar for many years and she peaced out a couple years ago and everyone was shocked because the place looks amazing from afar but she said the absolute wrong people are making decisions and I guess that makes more sense now

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

y'know I'm thinking that if I were Peter Docter, I just...wouldn't say this

but also if I were Peter Docter, I just wouldn't be homophobic

This is an irresponsible, misleading post that misrepresents what Leavitt said. There's enough awful stuff happening. Don't confuse people.

this is, all else being equal, easily the funniest thing the director of inside out could have said

President Farquaad

It’s March 5, 2026. Is a pedophile still president of the United States?

Yes.

Join your union. Punch fascists. Be honest with your comrades, be kind to strangers. Resist.
