I'm only reading this if you promise me it's mostly about his Oscars ballot for this year.

(I am not going to read this and why does it exist?)

"She" didn't do a fucking thing.

If you are press of any kind and you cover these things this way, fuck you, you're part of the problem.

There is an episode this season called "Dereks Don't Die."

You will feel all of the feels and then some.

The top of the latest issue, with a headline reading "November 1981 kicks off with Bo Derek and the Time Bandits." The header photo is from Terry Gilliam's TIME BANDITS, with the entire group, including Kevin, holding up the map they stole from the Supreme Being.

If you're not already subscribed to THE LAST '80s NEWSLETTER (YOU'LL EVER NEED), right now is a great time. I've got something good dropping in the morning...

Next up on Trump's revenge tour.

I really hope a good attorney offers to represent her pro bono, because she's suffered enough from that vengeful misogynist, and she doesn't have money.

He has the brute force wealth to make certain things happen. This does not make him smart, and unfailingly, when I hear these people talk, they are astonishingly stupid. Andreeson has brain worms in that Humpty Dumpty dome. Dude believes some giant-size crazy shit.

Andreeson's head is just going to keep getting bigger and bigger as he pours more nothing into it.

Yeah, but it's not $3.50 a gallon. It's at $5 a gallon where I am and going higher. And you are a fucking dummy if you think this is going to rewrite history or benefit the US.

They can't even come up with a good lie to sell us this war.

Few voices in the culture and media landscape are irreplaceable. MZS is irreplaceable. Not just a clever, cutting, and insightful critic, but a champion of other writers and artists in so many ways big and small.

Do yourself a favor: buy from his bookstore. Buy a lot. Read, read, read: mzs.press

Next time you pay too much for a ticket, you have both Obama (allowed this shit in the first place) and Trump (who could have let this go to trial) to thank.

Remember... it is wealth that divides us more than anything, and wealth defends wealth.
