With KPop Demon Hunters likely to win Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, I'm bumping this short piece again.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
Is the premise of this story that the mayor should make lighthearted video content about an ongoing criminal investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Not gonna ding anyone's excitement around the first 26 episodes Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex arriving on the Criterion Channel, but if you wanted to check out the series without a subscription, you can watch all 52 episodes for free on [adult swim]. www.adultswim.com/videos/ghost...
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
"this is never going to happen again quite this way" is a real gift. what a dude he was
this really is an all-timer
I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.
Waste to art: childhood anime fan and lifelong crafter Sayuri Mori found a new purpose after raising her daughter. The recycled scrap and 100-yen store finds she once turned into jewellery now become steampunk deep-sea creatures with a growing social media profile

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.
Have said it before on here but the @mzspress.bsky.social Miyazaki collection totally whips, and the whole store is a vital resource ❤️
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Reminder that Tehran has a population greater than London, this is not a trivial amount of people we’re talking about here.
“Hollywood understands anime/asian culture now!”
I just heard from someone at Disney that the success of KPop Demon Hunters sent the entire executive team into a “we need demon hunting anime” frenzy that lasted months
Yes, they STILL think it’s anime
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
The correct headline would be Trump says he is nominating MWM to replace - pending senate approval.

Nestled in @tvmojoe.bsky.social @vulture.com's report on how the Dropout/Rookie crossover happened:
-
"Reich also revealed that he and his Dropout colleagues taped another small cameo on The Rookie that may pop up toward the end of this season...."

not hyperbole to say that there is NO BETTER INTERNSHIP IN ALL OF MEDIA. don't believe me? apply and see for yourself!
Love this piece, which goes to great lengths to underline Isabella Rossellini's agency and artistry in helping create one of David Lynch's best films.
Ebert famously hated this movie when it was released. My piece isn't really about criticizing Ebert, but I do address his position and use it as a way to challenge how we write about acting and collaboration in movies made by male geniuses.
Initially, “Is Kevin Jonas The Reason Donald Trump Is President?” was met with scorn, until people read it. I stand by this! And I watched way too many Celebrity Apprentice clips to have it erased from the internet. Now it’s back, with added commentary
