I think it's a sign of affirmation of joy and self-love during difficult times!

He is phenomenal in Da 5 Bloods, truly an all-time performance from an all-time actor

There's something very Trumpian about assuming that land acknowledgements and caring about queer people is virtue signaling instead of a genuine desire to be inclusive of those who have often gone overlooked and are currently being targeted

every time I see Mappa news I'm like "Maybe it'll be about Vinland season 3" and then it never is, it's just something that stresses me out

I've long thought it really funny that the only true kiss in the entirety of JJK is Yuta kissing a giant cockroach, so this is such a good reference

it's so over

I'd read this article

Genuinely, I think the existence of the article is very sad for everyone involved

Inside the Hunger Crisis in America’s Last Frontier Alaska’s unique challenges make it difficult to obtain healthy food and adequate medical care. Are the Trump administration and Congress making it worse?

ICYMI: I wrote about the difficulties that Alaskans face in obtaining SNAP and Medicaid—on top of existing challenges with accessing adequate food and medical care. Featuring on the ground reporting from rural coastal Alaska:

@gracesegers.bsky.social's feature on the hunger crisis in Alaska is an absolute banger of a story—and one which we wish we had no reason to publish

Amazing long-form reporting and a really good read capturing what it's really like to deal with bureaucratic hurdles to getting food stamps, from @gracesegers.bsky.social. A document for the Trump 2.0 era:

This is fantastic and eye-opening reporting from @gracesegers.bsky.social about SNAP and hunger in a remote part of Alaska -- Americans we don't hear from much in national reporting.

More reporting like this, please, everyone!

"Alaskans’ struggles are a microcosm of what poor and rural Americans face across the country. When the social safety net is riddled with holes, people fall through," writes @gracesegers.bsky.social. Great story. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

I traveled to Unalakleet, a coastal Alaskan village, to learn more about the difficulties rural Alaskans face in obtaining adequate food and medical care. With changes to SNAP and Medicaid, avoiding hunger and staying healthy may only get more complicated.

A great piece from @gracesegers.bsky.social using Alaska as a way to show how Trump's benefit cuts are going to devastate the already struggling rural communities Republicans are supposedly so sympathetic to newrepublic.com/article/2027...

I think it would really benefit from some punctuation, e.g., "God is King: Repent." Otherwise it just looks like "God is King Repent," as if that's God's formal name

it's the smiley face that does it for me. Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the clues...

Hoth Takes #63: Please Don’t Sue Us, Guy Fieri With few Star Wars film or television projects on the horizon, it’s time to think about how we would fill the void if we were in charge. In this episode: three pitches for revitalizing the Star War…

If you've ever thought, "I know how to make the Star Wars sequels better," you need to hear @gracesegers.bsky.social's pitch in our new "Hoth Tank" episode. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2025/09/26/h...

I don't really post anything but my articles anymore but I cannot stay silent. Demon Slayer is painfully mid, it is boring narratively and visually (high quality animation =/= interesting animation), and it definitely does not deserve to be the most popular anime in the world

The Latest Casualty of Trump’s War on Data Is a Critical Hunger Report The USDA abruptly decided to terminate an annual survey that policymakers and organizations use to help Americans struggling with food insecurity.

A Health Care Cost Bomb Is Coming—Unless Congress Acts If lawmakers don’t extend enhanced tax credits for the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, low- and middle-income households should get ready for some significant sticker shock.

If Congress does not act before November 1, which is when ACA enrollment opens, people will get an early look at the effect of higher premiums and the expiration of tax credits.

she does, generally, but 20 year old Grace was not amused

I especially love Spy Game in part because of the somewhat meta undercurrent of "Brad Pitt is the new Robert Redford!!!!!" in the narrative and also irl in the early 90s. And then in terms of acting skill, pure movie star rizz, and (let's say it) hotness, Redford blows Pitt out of the water

when I studied in London and my mom visited, she would giggle every single time she heard "This is the Piccadilly Line to Cockfosters!" Every. Single. Time. We'd be on that train for ten stops and she'd giggle ten times

When "authenticity" means "dudes" As 2026 approaches, can we political reporters please not forget every damn thing we learned just last year for the love of God

Great newsletter by @titonka.bsky.social on the conversation around political "authenticity."

Authenticity is often just code for masculinity, which "defines what kind of behavior, what kind of signifiers, are acceptable in top political candidates."

How RFK Jr.’s War on Junk Food Could Backfire on Vulnerable Americans The health and human services secretary wants to limit access to items he has called “poison.” But this mission is more complex than it seems, with serious consequences for low-income citizens.
