it’s a friend’s favorite movie and she was like “come over and watch it and cry on my couch” and I did not realize how very literal that invitation would turn out to be, halfway through the movie her dog sat on my lap in a way that indicated he was concerned about my emotional state (correctly)

(I finally saw Rachel Getting Married for the first time last week and am desperate to talk about it with anyone, much like how I finally read the Neapolitan novels last year and kept trying to be like “hey, so, have you heard of this author, Ferrante? pretty good, huh??” in 20entire25)

This is beyond reprehensible

what I want to know is why are all the curlers heartstoppingly beautiful, is that part of the sport somehow

good evening to everyone else who has become extremely invested in curling in the last 24 hours

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

And now whereas Woke did lade you with a heavy yoke, Woke 2 will add to your yoke: Woke hath cancelled you with whips, but Woke 2 will cancel you with scorpions.

in general I’m severely opposed to remakes of existing masterpieces, but I’d watch the hell out of this remake of Persona

on the whole, I would not recommend “the long september 11th” as an era in which to spend one’s entire adult life

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I have thought long and hard about starting up a new books publication, given how much criticism has been cut across the board. The business model is really difficult. The return on investment is low. We used to be okay with some parts of media not growing rapidly year over year forever.

If there is a more perfect definition of stupidity and cowardice than what Jeff Bezos and Will Lewis have done to the @washingtonpost.com, I can't think of it. Imagine having all the resources, all the talent, and all the information you need to do the right thing, and doing exactly the opposite.

Last year Will Lewis told WaPo staff that "people aren't reading your stuff." As though it was their fault that he and Bezos had corrupted the opinion section, demolished local coverage, and alienated thousands of subscribers. Now a great newsroom is being destroyed to hide their gross incompetence.

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

Stanley Kubrick did not know who Jeffrey Epstein was and had not left England for several years before making the movie, I hope this helps

The Kennedy Center shutdown breaks my heart. These are real flesh-and-blood people and our idiot president is taking food out of their mouths because a bunch of hateful rich people want to be able to do anything they can think of without consequences

The other thing is that when that kid gets out, when any of those kids get out, they don’t pay for shit their whole lives. The state should fully fund their lives, from school to food to a fucking PS5 if he wants one. That child should not have to worry about shit the rest of his life on our dime

new yorkers survive in the city long-term by traveling in a kind of invisible force field bubble that maintains another body's amount of space between you & everyone else whenever possible. the snowbanks are collapsing this & everybody is riding a knife's edge of irritation that is starting to give

every morning I wake up, read the news, walk down into hell, share a strong cup of tea with the devil who assures me it will and can get worse, walk backwards out of darkness, and emerge into the light to witness the world collapse

give me the opinion journalist job. every week the opinion will be ‘full communism now’

I don't think there are good arguments against this position

oh don’t worry, if I write about it that’ll definitely be where

if you watch After Hours and Catherine O’Hara isn’t the character you identify with, you need to change your life
