Olivia Nuzzi’s Much-Hyped Book Was Always Going to Be Self-Serving. It’s So Much Worse Than That. God, everyone sucks so much in American Canto.

@scaachi.bsky.social on American Canto should be the last word on this whole thing slate.com/culture/2025...

Whoa!!!! Amazing! I’m very excited to check this out

I'm back @99percentinvisible.bsky.social talking about the Pulitzer and design for kids in an episode devoted to Sesame Street 99percentinvisible.org/episode/649-...

I can't wait for the scene where Moses (Matthew Rhys), disillusioned by the failure of progressive civil service reform, looks directly into the camera and says, "I'm going to become the power broker."

I’ll happily settle for « disconcerted Tammany Hall man 3 »

Matthew Rhys Is In Talks With Netflix Over Adaptation Of Robert Caro’s ‘The Power Broker’ Matthew Rhys is in talks with the streamer over the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

I never do this, but I really want to be involved. @elliottkalan.bsky.social should write on it. I'll laugh and unroll maps.

His best in a while! Compelling theory of the twentieth century!

2025 Favourites Thus far, more to come

I’ve posted a rough draft of my “Favourite Movies of 2025” on Letterboxd. Anyway, go follow me on Letterboxd. I’m a lot more interesting over there.

Several shots from the Adam Curtis BBc documentary series “Shifty.”

My American friends and colleagues: Thanksgiving is a precious time to be with family and appreciate what’s truly important in life.

Me: Yes…I’m also doing that

Hear me out…the Blue Jays closer next year should be Chris Bassitt

Nobody else did anything like this haha

Nobody had his range. He was in “Barb Wire” with Pamela Anderson and “Breaking the Waves” *in the same year.*

You know…that makes a lot of sense

Filmmaker Gaspar Noe handing the Pope a mysterious Blu Ray

What Blu-Ray did Gaspar hand to the pope?!! We must know!!!

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

YouTube video by 99% Invisible Hidden Levels #4: Machinima (full video)

Episode 4 of Hidden Levels from @99pi.org and @wbur.org is now online from Andrew Callaway. It's about "machinima," movies made *inside* video games. It's a podcast, but also...there's a FULLY ANIMATED version, drawing from dozens of games.

This really special.

Ok just reading this article and apparently Gasper Noe was one of the filmmakers invited to the Vatican. This pope is not fucking around.

Pope Leo XIV Gives His Blessing to the Theatrical Experience: ‘Cinemas and Theaters Are the Beating Hearts of Our Communities’ Pope Leo XIV championed cinema and the theatrical experience in remarks at the Vatican to representatives of the world of cinema.

Someone please find the Pope’s burner on Letterboxd www.indiewire.com/news/general...

The movies are back, baby

The Apple News Catch-up now Carney government survives 2nd confidence vote. All ostriches shot dead...

lol why put it this way

Enjoy the Trump/Shohei photo opp in a few weeks!

We need to make up some other names, this is ridiculous

And ruined baseball!

Love that light blue unis!

As someone who has hung in with the Blue Jays for more than three decades since the last World Series (god I lived through the *black uniform era*), this was easily the most loveable, surprising, gutsy team we’ve ever had. A true delight to watch them play.

I’m gonna watch a couple of British Bake Offs and go to bed

Not to pick on this particular person but this was absolutely not a choke job and hadn't been the entire series. The Jays aren't the Leafs. The Dodgers were expected to walk away with the series, we made them work for every single hit. This is simply the outcome of a very close game and series

And someone named Will Smith won an Oscar in there somewhere

Welp…on the plus side the Jays have 14 more years with Vladimir Guerrero to get it right
