it *sounds* relatively reasonable. but in fact it's saying that you are looking for a way to join the attack rather than resist it.

which is really bad because...Trump is passing all these vicious anti trans policies. will Democrats reverse them if given the chance? would Newsom?

it's like a liberal politician in Nazi germany saying, "well, these people have a point, we really must do something about Jews in banking."

the reason that it's so disturbing when Newsom/Buttigieg/Harris say that they want to force trans ppl out of sports is that it signals that they don't want to fight for trans rights at a time when there is a massive genocidal campaign against trans people. 1

Obviously it’s equally evil no matter where it’s happening but when it’s in the place you’re from and specifically in such a symbolic site… it just makes me want to vomit

Evil beyond belief and makes me want to crawl out of my own skin that this is happening in Boston, in Faneuil Hall

this is 90% of published fiction rn I s2g

Olivia Nuzzi: yes, she helped endanger every child in America, but at least she isn't sorry about it

This. You don't have to read any of it; you can mute her name, the names of her former partners/lovers, and the title of her book. But the journalistic stuff is in fact very important, because it's both a cause and a reflection of how we got to where we're at RIGHT NOW politically.

Man fuck every one of these people

IMO not enough scrutiny directed at VF's Mark Guiducci, who hired Nuzzi. The RFK affair was disqualifying on its own ofc, but the fact that it happened (it's RFK Jr!) was an obvious sign more ethical lapses + embarrassing stuff was floating around. Reflects poorly on an EIC to not anticipate as much

Completely unacceptable. The girl I'm mentoring rn (high-achieving at what seems to be an excellent school) is also only doing passages for AP Lang this year. The reign of standardized testing has to end ASAP.

Has any celeb ever been more relatable...

Netflix Is Interested in Matthew Rhys’ ‘The Power Broker’ Passion Project Rhys, who would play Robert Moses in any adaptation of Robert Caro's biography, revealed the news on fellow Caro enthusiast Conan O'Brien's podcast.

A ridiculous coda to this story: A USTA source tells me that Trump wanted to hand out the trophy to the winner of the US Open men's final but the organizers said no and compromised by displaying the trophy on the balcony of the Rolex suite where he was sitting.

Last point for now: What's killing theatrical distribution is not Netflix. It's the easy, fast, relatively inexpensive availability of all theatrical releases (not to mention tons of other viewing options) at home, and every studio that depends on theatrical business has colluded in that.

You know what does increase the risk of an early miscarriage, though? COVID does.

An American journalist helped facilitate RFK Jr's ingratiation into Trump's world and kept secret disqualifying information on him that could have kept him out of major policy, which impacts millions of people.

“It’s important to note the vaccine has been studied for decades, with evidence proving its efficacy and safety. A model by the Center for Disease Analysis Foundation found that delaying the first dose at birth would result in 99,000 preventable hepatitis B infections.”

Hell is empty.

Netflix Wins the Warner Bros. Discovery Bidding War, Enters Exclusive Deal Talks Warner Bros. Discovery has selected Netflix after the streaming giant offered $30 a share for the studio and streaming assets.

Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly moving forward with exclusive deal talks with Netflix

A lot of the people bemoaning Netflix's possible acquisition of WB are ignoring the fact that if WB goes to Paramount, it will be Disney buying Fox all over again--WB will become a "label" within Paramount and then simply disappear. Ellison hasn't shown he can run one studio. Don't give him two. >

I actually wound up enjoying it quite a bit — it felt like two movies to me, the first half was dreadful and the second half really entertaining, lots of great character actors. It’s definitely not GREAT but maybe good for a fun night where you’re not in the mood for something super deep

The second half of this movie is much better than the first, partly for script reasons but mostly because the cast is so unbelievably stacked. Regina King, I will watch do anything.

Also this movie cat is the best behaved cat of all time.

Watching CAUGHT STEALING and thinking of my internship supervisor at a film company who told me, 15 years ago, that Aronofsky only picks bad scripts to direct. That has… remained the case.

get him girl

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

The fact that so many people are swayed by this makes it even more important that dem politicians not compromise on it. Fucking have a spine.

And as ever the idea that a trans woman would like magically be better at a sport than all cis female athletes is actually blatantly sexist, but whatever.

I’m on a tennis forum (very cool hobby yes I know) and the transphobes are out about this… so many people are able to just bamboozle themselves into thinking they’re supportive of trans people EXCEPT trans women athletes. Thus revealing their own deep rooted transphobia!

Especially with hardly anyone masking when COVID is still raging and long COVID can absolutely wreck your life, no matter how healthy you think you are.
