FEMA Chief Confused By Wind theonion.com/fema-ch...

you do not need to read or buy Jake Tapper's book to participate in the conversation about the role of journalism in a democracy.

It's gonna be wild when Soderbergh gets bored over a weekend and recuts M:I 7 and 8 into a single three-hour masterpiece.

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

The thing that makes kid birthday party planning difficult is not scheduling or arrangements but threading the needle between what you can afford, what is available, what you want to do, and what your kid will enjoy. There will never be an AI that can suss that out.

Kinda haven't stopped thinking about something McQ said on Scriptnotes a few weeks back. "What is cinema to me? The movies that strive to walk the center line between art and entertainment. You're trying to pull art closer to entertainment and entertainment closer to art."

I probably won't get to finish ANDOR for several days. If any of you spoil anything...

Another Bway hot take: The Denzel Washington-Jake Gyllenhaal Othello should extend a week and those 8300 tickets should be free, with a portion reserved for students. A $921 ticket doesn't just say "You can't afford this," but "You will never be able to afford anything like this." It does damage. >

If I learned anything going to school in the midwest, it's that if a Pope says he's "from Chicago," he's probably really from some suburb an hour from the city that sounds like the name of a bottled water brand.

Finally caught up with ANDOR. It really is breathtaking what Gilroy and Co. is getting to do.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

>war starts over taxes on trade >insecure young man uncertain about his place in the world turns evil after listening to a pseudoreligous podcast >liberal republican order gets auto-coup'd because it's too hidebound to institutionally respond to both internal & external threats how did he know

I think everyone needs to lay off Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordan, clearly they are in a deeply sub/dom relationship and if that's what they are in to, that's OK!!!

I’ve gotta accept that I’m always gonna have issues with THE LAST OF US adaptation. Part 2 is probably my favorite game of all time. And I’m sure if you haven’t played the games that was a stunning hour of TV. But I can’t help but be irked by narrative and aesthetic choices.

It feels like they are gonna back away from the macrostructure of THE LAST OF US PT2 for the show. I get the impulse, but that narrative gambit is a master stroke and feels like a mistrust of a more mainstream audience to go for the thematic experience it ultimately provides.

Trump's heart really could do the funniest thing right now.

The reason why government works slowly and inefficiently is that otherwise you end up with shit like this.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was pro public transit. The Fugitive was anti big pharma. No internet around to defend the villains. What an age to be alive and into movies.

it will only get more difficult to explain to future generations the hold this man had on people's entire perception of reality

Best part of MINECRAFT over-performing is that Zaslav has been clumsily laying track for DeLuca & Abdy's dismissal in the trades for the last 2 weeks. Now the film they developed is the biggest hit of the year. It takes a special kind of incompetence to notch an L on a history-making blockbuster.

Get young men interested in what’s going on. Tell them GTA6 is now going to be delayed into eternity.

He's going to drop all of these tariffs in a couple months, and then he's going to declare victory and trumpet the fact that the DOW went up 1000 points, and I literally fucking beg the media not to just print that as news without context both in headlines and column inches

Talking about Trump talking about a “third term” isn’t talking about the future. Trump is starting the attack right now. And the attack is part of how he consolidates power right now. This isn’t “a conversation for later.” Once again, we’re watching a coup attempt, his second, in slow motion.

living in LA is incredible. every day is sun-charged and electric with the possibility of telling a Laker fan that Kobe is roughly the 27th best player in NBA history

The SEVERANCE season final. What if we ran out of story and just kept going…

Most inexplicable “unless” I’ve ever seen.

Every streaming service would benefit from a Movies 95 Minutes or Less category

I'm trying not to fall back into the bottomless rage I felt during Trump 1...but Jesus Christ. Can't he just rage shit himself to death and spare us all this needless chaos?

Up to the Yuuzhan Vong books I read everything in the EU. And I loved all of it. Some real gems in the bunch.

Don't sacrifice your authentic self for other people. Especially in these times. That's all I have to say.

Hackman was the definition of a “not fucking actor” an absolute titan. This one hurts.

I know we all hate M*ta with the fire of a thousand suns (with good reason), but as a broke-ass artist I need to extend my reach as much as I can. If you’re still on insta and you’d like to follow me work, you can find me at: brianna_ashby_illustration 🖤
