Have no idea what any of that means but NEW always sounds good to me!

wow that’s cool! will it analyze if an account is a bot, disinformation, etc.?

50 years ago, “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You” debuted on Chicago pubic access TV, starring Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert. The rest, as they say, is history. #SiskelAndEbert

Phil's takedown of major online Nazi should be national news.

fyi @shawnreynolds.bsky.social @carollalvarado.bsky.social @emmetlyonscbsnews.bsky.social @cnnsarahd.bsky.social @shacharbaron.bsky.social @anthonylfisher.bsky.social @andybcampbell.bsky.social @oyousef.bsky.social @alkapdc.bsky.social

Honestly they should just lean into it and merge with Ms. Magazine because I'm never gonna not think of it as Ms. Now.

Phil's investigative work- which got this online Nazi shut down- should be getting national attention:

GREAT original investigative work by @philinvestigates.com on online Nazis targeting KIDS!

Here's what I posed about this Nazi account on Bluesky last year. Just this one video was getting over 110,000 views! Apple and Google should have deplatformed X for this one post alone.

Thanks to Mr. Williams @philinvestigates.com the site is offline. Now I hope he goes after X and Apple who've been alerted (by me and others) that this Nazi is using their platform to groom kids and have done NOTHING about it!

He should have a position with a national new organization!

I contacted dozens of people in media last year to alert them to this guy grooming kids on X. Got NO RESPONSE (not even @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social ) so I gave up

FINALLY someone with clout did something: PHIL WILLIAMS @philinvestigates.com an investigative reporter for the local news in Nashville!

I never trusted Ryan Lizza's smirk. I always assumed that as a political journalist he was another Mark Halperin in the making, and two of them is two too many. Halperin, after his #MeToo fall, oozed back into standard pundit hackery while Lizza is oozing in every direction.

Maureen Dowd flitted through my mind because Thanksgiving is coming up, so I'm told, & that's when she annually turns the Times column over to her MAGA brother, whose turkey stuffing is between his ears. Will MoDo be slumming it again this Thanksgiving or will an editor finally say Enough already?

Noah Baumbach – Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso Noah Baumbach (‘Jay Kelly’) on his love letter to movies, the infamous ‘Marriage Story’ fight scene, and the impact of director Mike Nichols.

Talked with Noah Baumbach about emerging from his “quiet crisis” post-White Noise, art imitating life, and, of course, his (movie) Pop, the late Peter Bogdanovich.

Incredible

HBD model/actress Mariel Hemingway, BOTD in 1961, turning 64 today. 7 members of her family took their own lives, including her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, who shot himself in the head in 1961 at 61 & her older sister, model/actress Margaux Hemingway, who died in 1996 at 42

Me neither— the @gcdb.bsky.social page has great stuff!

Not digging PLURIBUS, if I'm savagely honest. Whole project seems off--overscaled, overconceptualized, overchoreographed (those delivery trucks), the set pieces show-offy self-contained & strangely weightless. It's all blatantly schematic, which Gilligan's always avoided, & the dialogue is crud.

Yes, I emailed that to you yesterday but your box is full -- popular lady!

If 2000 was an action horror story, what the HELL is 2025?

So much light.

Astonishing to see how close he was with Noam Chomsky and his wife -- all the way up to the month before Epstein died!

Apparently they were introduced by another 'winner'-- Lawrence Krauss, the scientist who defended Epstein to the media after he was imprisoned.

Yes, certainly that’s true.

Excellent piece— but annoying headline. The race just began— I don’t think it’s up to the PD to determine who is a longshot or not, everyone has a chance. Nevertheless it’s great to see the PD engaged on the topic.

Gorgeous & tragic bisexual peekaboo girl Veronica Lake was BOTD in 1922 & died of acute alcoholism in 1973 at 50. She didn't make a lot of movies, but several have become true classics, particularly Sturges' "Sullivan's Travels" (1941) & Marshall's "The Blue Dahlia" (1946)
