89 years ago today Mosley attempted to march his blackshirts through the East End of London. The Jewish press counselled calm. East End Jews - backed primarily by Irish & Communists - beat them back with fists, pipes, clubs. Old women poured hot water on them from above.

I shall never forgive her for invoking the name of Elizabeth Taylor, who was anything but sauceless.

Lana Del Rey or Ethel Cain could write the fuck out of an album Life of a Showgirl. Just sayin'.

"Humans are products to be bought, eaten alive, and discarded in an antisocial libidinal frenzy of self-loathing, insatiable emotional need, and if they refuse to behave that way, we'll make fake people" is the only thing any of these freaks believe

As a perimenopasual woman with brain fog, I feel so seen by Leo DiCaprio not knowing the passwords and getting angry about it in One Battle After Another.

“In my new novel, Beings, a couple driving home from their honeymoon in 1961 encounters a spaceship that irrevocably changes their lives."

@ilanaslightly.bsky.social shared a playlist for her novel Beings at Largehearted Boy largeheartedboy.com/2025/09/24/i...

It's to Harris's credit that this didn't affect her performance, but the larger takeaway is that her apparent worry that any attempt to distance herself from Biden would be met with an avalanche of bad press generated by Biden and/or his inner circle was entirely justified

The winning Democratic campaign will say, "This is about right and wrong. Right is neighbors taking care of each other. Right is respect, so long as no one gets hurt. Right is food on the table, dignified work. If you want to do right, join me. If you want to hurt your neighbor, we have a problem."

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Exactly this

I'm so glad you're okay. You've been on my mind.

YOU'RE BACK! How are you doing?

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

Thank you!

Thank you so much, because yes it does!

Thank you so much!

Me: actually yes

The disappearance of faces in Hollywood is so depressing to me as someone whose life revolves largely around films - I need faces in my films, I need big, weird, old, asymmetrical, beautiful, expressive, uniquely imperfect faces

What's DC's pitch to a prominent non-comics creator right now, especially from a marginalized background? "You'll get to write a superhero! For very little money! An insane fanbase will bay for your blood! And not only will we not defend you, we'll look for an oppurtunity to throw you overboard!"

I don't think you even have to like Gretchen to recognize that she, as a best-selling horror writer with an active following, was a get for DC comic. A DC comic was not a get for Gretchen Felker Martin
