The original title of Ross Douthat’s latest podcast “Did women ruin the workplace?”

Pretty sure the dipshits like the guy posing this question are the ones ruining it.

No matter the platform you should have your default feed be reverse chron of who/what you follow and curate and diversify that feed.

You’ll be better informed and less prone to disinfo and group think.

This is a hill I will die on.

A still from Peter Watkins’ 1974 film “Edvard Munch”

RIP Peter Watkins. His film “Edvard Munch” is one of my favorite movies ever. The best biopic and one of the best examinations of what it means to be an artist in any medium.

Ah, the titans of modern science: Tesla, Sagan…Emily Dickinson

If you really want to have a scary time, check out the French movie Them (Ils), on Shudder.

Gotta go with this:

Feel like “Why” deserves a place on this list.

Colonel Blimp is top 3 to me, but otherwise an impeccable list!

No. More. Confirmations.

Read LAist. Invest in independent local media. Ignore this newspaper.

LA Times article about Edison charging customers to pay for fires caused by their equipment

Don’t subscribe to the paper any more so I’m not gonna link to the story, but fuck this.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would go see live.

The sieg heil (“arm gesture”, if you’re a fucking coward) was disgusting and awful. The press response to it though has been outright terrifying

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Rock on fire (rock)

I’ve always loved the Werner Herzog idea that truth is never literal in documentary and instead the goal should be to reach toward the deeper truths embedded in the story. Could be even more true in writing

The Times They Are A-Changin’ Staffers at the Los Angeles Times described to Status a demoralized publication depleted of its spirit in which employees are "confused," "offended," and "frustrated."

Scoop: After the LA Times published a piece about Elon Musk that carried a headline owner Patrick Soon-Shiong didn't like, a new rule was implemented: Prior to publishing opinion stories, headlines must be emailed to Soon-Shiong, where he can then choose to weigh in. www.status.news/p/los-angele...

Maybe more controversial, but I feel the same way about Stand By Me. In scene after scene, amazing moments between the kids are just completely smothered by Richard Dreyfus

Because the holidays are upon us, have no choice but to pick my favorite Christmas movie. Eyes Wide Shut, Tom Cruise as Dr. William Hartford stays.

Thankful for this skeet, from the comfort of an extremely messy kitchen.

Delta flights now having free WiFi complicates this somewhat, but that’s what the Denzel movie on your neighbor’s screen is there for, apparently

I know there are a lot of evils in the world right now, but I would like NBA league pass forcing me to sign back in every time I change games on my Roku counted in the list

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

Look what we got into USA Today.

Now that the Onion is back and better than ever, can someone find a way to bring back alternative weeklies? I’d definitely pitch in to re-animate LA Weekly, Village Voice, etc.

I had been an LA Times subscriber since moving here nearly 5 years ago. No longer.

Re-reading Christopher Buehlman’s Between Two Fires right now, and, man, what a beautiful book. And a surprisingly comforting one as the world slowly turns to Hell around us

The New York Times ran dozens and dozens of pieces over a couple of months about Biden's mental fitness.

That you can cover both this perfect moment and that Trump nightmare at the same time makes me wonder if you aren’t some sort of magician

As someone who only pays attention to baseball in September and October, you’ll never convince me that Kiké Hernandez isn’t one of the best players of this generation. That he is the best interview of our time is already indisputable.
