It's because they're all so good. There are no Mimi Imfursts or Serena ChaChas in this bunch of all stars. They're all top 4 material, so hard choices have to be made. Going home early here doesn't mean they're bad, it's just math

John Goodman in True Stories. Just a great big lovelorn teddy bear. Also, Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies, Ariana Grande in Victorious, and Cynthia Erivo in Bad Times at the El Royale

my main takeaway from fantastic four is that galactus takes the same amount of time to get up from a chair as i do #representationmatters

I just had exactly this conversation this morning. I’ve had this conversation thousands of times at this point. Some people get angry with me. They call me a Doomer. That’s fine. I just don’t know what people see.

Why Can't People Be Normal About Sydney Sweeney? | Defector To be born beautiful is a gift, but to end up hot can be a curse. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is also true that you can look in the mirror and be the beholder of yourself. Beauty is so...

The Money Is In All The Wrong Places | Defector You can always tell who in Hollywood has family money by their Instagrams. People like Dakota Johnson, who have a Hollywood lineage deeper than the Mariana Trench, post only rarely. They post about so...

Still on the fence about this one. On one hand the original is one of my all time favorites and doesn't need a remake. Otoh it's Spike and Denzel. Plus I can't tell if the trailer is withholding key info or if Spike changed a couple key plot points. Also why'd they wait so long to drop a trailer?

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

this is it, guys, the hundred millionth revolution of the β€œwhat’s wrong with young men” discourse is the time we are gonna solve it, here on the nation’s sixth or seventh most popular social media site, our median 38 year old user is gonna get it right this time

Ben Camacho - Journalist, Photographer - The Southland As I've Seen It Award-winning investigative journalist and documentary photographer

I was a photographer before I was a journalist. I'm getting back to those roots by starting "The Southland As I See It" on my website: a curated gallery of photographs I've taken in the Southland over the past few years.

Enjoy w/ some wine on a bigger screen!

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Yes, turn off the YouTube and go to drag shows instead

If only there were an already-existing set of photos of Correa in an Astros uniform that Fox could've used instead of AI generating a new one. Ah well nevertheless...

This has been one of the most frustrating all stars seasons for me to watch because I genuinely like them all, and there doesn't feel like a weak link in the bunch. I could see every one of them in the top 3/4

We must have very different definitions of boring? Because that first episode is just about the most amazing thing ever, even after I've seen it several times

It completely redefined television, and it's the masterwork of one of America's greatest filmmakers. There's no way the others can compete

it is beyond the pale to view the existence of trans people as an acceptable sacrifice to β€œbeat fascism”

if β€œbeating fascism” leaves trans people exiled from society you did not actually beat fascism at all

in all seriousness, i’ve read several reports that cognitive ability tends to be a use-it-or-lose-it thing. so no, i will not be delegating my thinking to a text generator. and i honestly wonder how it will affect long-term mental agility in those who do.

The woke college students were right but we can't acknowledge this because then we'll have to consider whether they're right about other things too. That I'm a big stupid moron for instance

An Egyptian dude figured out that if you partially filled a plastic bottle with rice and other grains and threw it into the ocean from Egypt at the correct place given currents the bottles would wash ashore in Gaza within 96 hours so ordinary Egyptians are doing it and... it's worked?

sometimes I think that constantly encountering so much gratuitous, contingent suffering somehow largely gets metabolized into sadism in the body and the public.
