Adrian 'buy HAIR SHIRT' Sobol

How the White Savior Became This Year’s Cinematic Punchline Several of this year's notable movies, including, One Battle After Another, Eddington, and The Mastermind humorously critique the political role of white men.

For TIME I went long on the bumbling white men at the heart of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, EDDINGTON, and THE MASTERMIND.

I can never adequately defend Stein to the haters in a way that convinces them that she's great, but really she doesn't even need them.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

BREAKING: my back just to know your name

I know what you did last summer I turned pretty in second place.

Second place in trivia is pretty good

It only raised more questions for me!

And if they make jokes at the expense of another character, does everyone know they're kidding? Is that how characters can take constant insults without suffering emotional breakdowns?

The question that haunts me: do sitcom characters know when they're making jokes? Are they making them intentionally? Or are they totally oblivious?

Only way to get meatheads on our side is to speak to them in a language they understand.

Pierogi topped with sour cream and parsley.

What do we reveal about ourselves in our bios? And what level of persona is created there? How much mystique do we want to project and to what degree is an author bio a reflection of an authentic vs. idealized self?

That's what I thought, too, but then I wondered why I was giving people an errand to try find my work in some magazine that may or may not exist anymore (and which mags I include, and what does that say about which ones I exclude, and what image I'm projecting by that decision and and and and).

Pynchon also with the correct spelling of "el"

You can't trust the newsreels, you only think you've seen him, the Jews who control the movie business only allow footage that will make him look crazy or comical, funny little guy, funny walk, funny mustache, German Charlie Chaplin, how serious could he be? But there also exist other Hitler movies, yes, some even filmed in color, home movies, a warmer, gayer Hitler, impulsive, unorthodox, says whatever comes into his head, what's wrong with that?"

Thinking about that bad New Yorker review that seemed to think this novel wasn't wrestling with current affairs
