"The Jews in Germany," as Neera puts it, were not murdered "precisely because they were wealthy." They were murdered because they were Jews.
I do not understand how obvious a movie needs to be before people learn how to read it
you are churning these out man, respect

"Perhaps it was." Maybe the LEFT is more "constrained, stuffy, and dogmatic" than the side advocating for a network of concentration camps and mass deportations?? That's a degenerate, disgusting thing only assholes want, not a bitchin' party with a cool playlist! Stop conceding that cruelty is fun!
Steven Spielberg’s Dive! (1994-2001): A nautical/submarine-themed restaurant owned by the director, along with former Disney chair, Jeffrey Katzenberg. Located in LA and Las Vegas, there were plans for 10 more locations nationwide that were never developed before they... went under

It’s always a good idea to read the great dance critic Gia Kourlas - here’s a gift article so you can: Timothée Chalamet Has a Point About Ballet www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/a...
I think a lot of us millennials & older really take it for granted that we were the last of only a couple generations where there was an all-encompassing campaign to encourage literacy. Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!"
IDK if people are talking about Kai Cenat's public reading journey, but he's using his power for good.
A lot of people can't read. At least not at what we consider adequate levels. And it is not their fault. Society as a whole severely pulled away from literacy advocacy.
In 1992, Barq's ran a Soviet Union "going out of business" promotion. They bought a warehouse full of soviet war medals, patches, buttons, flags etc and gave it all away to folks that bought their soda. This has to be a strong contender for the weirdest promo of all time.
This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.
gotta be another way to do this
setting aside the fact that this show shouldn’t exist, would Voldemort even appear in the first 1-3 seasons anyway? do we really need to cast someone just to appear in one or two traumatic baby Harry flashbacks?
oh look now he's actively choosing to veto bills, not just passively signing what the legislature sends him but actively CHOOSING to OPPOSE otherwise-passed trans friendly legislation
nobody better ever tell me again newsom has anything but disdain for trans people
I really liked this post from our mayor (of Gainesville, FL) today

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...
Matt is simply the best. I owe so much of who I am as a writer and as a person to him. He’s an endlessly supportive force and his and Judith’s bookstore is a necessary and rich resource.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Over at @letterboxd.social Journal, I wrote about the legacy of Donna Deitch’s trailblazing sapphic western romance DESERT HEARTS for its 40th anniversary. This movie is so dear to me. This was an absolute honor to research and write.
Love this piece by @vauhinivara.bsky.social. Every time I think some derogatory thought about Patterson, I have to remind myself that he is one of the few super rich authors actually giving back to the literary community in meaningful ways. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
