Thought the Times had been hoaxed. Turns out to be so much better than that

Absolutely incredible.

I feel like a chump coming to the (social media) defense of a political candidate, but I do really like Zohran, and it's pretty scary how his political emergence has been met with screeching bigotry by Andrew Cuomo and so many other people who ware supposedly on the left of the political spectrum.

I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

It is astonishingly ugly. People I once thought were decent are spouting delusional, baseless, vile stuff about what they "know" Mamdani believes and about what he's going to do. In NYC, this has turned into a real "Well, now we all know who we are" election. There'll be no bridging that rift.

Emma Thompson Is Right: The Word ‘Content’ Is Rude (Published 2023)

Like, Emma Thompson among the best actors to ever do it AND a brilliant screenwriter and for most people that would be enough but no no she's also out there calling out our most loathsome practices against the creative class, I love her so much www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/m...

There she is

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

It’s… shocking

Actors have agents and publicists who are paid good money to be aware of any issues surrounding projects they're offered. Keira Knightley's blasé responses when challenged don't hold water with me. I get being posh and rich insulates you from the world but get a fucking grip

At this point I think it's time to admit any celeb signing on for Potter work either doesn't give a shit about human rights or actively agrees with JK Rowling bc there is no way you can claim ignorance as an excuse

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

It's such an absurd thought but it's true. We must remember these are the types of people who livestream the proof they pay other people to play games (Musk) and sprint ahead of serious cyclists at the beginning of a 200+ mile ride (Ackman). Their brains are truly the weakest among us all.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

Adorava, era o sonho. Invejo mesmo. Ser assim resolvia tudo. Imagina, uma existência sem consciência, sem escrúpulos... Zero problemas!

reddit snippet: Her recent sketch was blatant Jewface, barely masked by an Italian persona. The exaggerated expressions and nasal voice revive anti-Jewish libels from the darkest chapters of history.

calling Sarah Squirm's snl character "jewface" is so funny. she is literally jewish! that's her real face! it's like getting mad at Kenan Thompson for doing "blackface" lmao

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

Sorry, the child was 18 months old.

He was at a wedding where they ritualistically stabbed pictures of a 4 year old palestinian boy that was murdered. he represented the murderer for free. Will not stop being pissed that he was removed from sanctions

If you leave one magazine job and go write a book, apparently for a major publisher, and you deliver your manuscript and take another magazine job less than a year later, when did the exile part happen, exactly?

Government told to prepare for 2C warming by 2050 The Climate Change Committee said the UK should make climate change adaptions beyond the Paris Agreement.

This is a “might as well start smoking” headline. Especially considering “by 2050” is a fairly optimistic projection.
