cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

There were no short-form videos posted to social media about the attack in front of Gracie Mansion, where Mr. Mamdani lives with his wife, Rama Duwaji. There were no impassioned speeches. Mr. Mamdani chose an alternative path: two deliberative written statements, and one 14-minute joint appearance with his police commissioner, Jessica S. Tisch, a political moderate, during which they took only four questions.
this reads like it was written by the bari weiss squad over at the free press. Criticizing the mayor for NOT putting out a video about a hate crime but instead taking to traditional methods like a statement and then a press conference? What the hell?

you know who never stops providing content? easy, simple, low-effort content guaranteed to grab buckets of almost free engagement like it was rain?
there’s a structural reason here. mamdani’s response was to take an opportunity to make content - and therefore give the rest of the media some easy meta-content - and turn it down. he put governing ahead of content. our political media hates nothing more than someone who denies them easy content.
bookstores are getting increasingly conservative in their actual book buying numbers, so 1000% preorder that book you're excited about please. Every single copy helps.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

in honor of international women’s day, who are the women of your letterboxd top four? #filmsky
It's a shame because all those schoolgirls would have loved democracy. I mean, had they lived. And had remote aerial bombing -- which has never changed a regime in history -- delivered a constitutional republic by killing one ayatollah to make room for the next. Those girls would have loved it.
I ask myself this about 3x a day
