Without an ounce of shade towards the ensemble, watching Good Night and Good Luck on CNN this evening, in light of the events in Los Angeles today... feels weird and wrong.

I truly intend to spend the rest of my life trying to get movies like this made. Thoughtful mid-budget thriller adaptations rule. I pray to God Materialists hits. I sincerely think it might.

This is a really good thread about “abundance” and how we are all discoursing about dumb stuff. You don’t have to be anti-labor to be pro-transit and crypto has nothing to do with YIMBYism. The conflation of all of it together has been part of the reason I’ve been so confused by it all.

Jays games are so much more fun when we smoke ‘em. Sorry, Phillies. But not that much.

A deeply beautiful and moving film. Still plenty of year left, but my favourite of 2025 so far. The hardest I’ve ever agreed with TIFF on a People’s Choice winner. Don’t read anything more about it, just go. Bring tissues and a friend you haven’t seen in a while.

as bad as institutional wingnut welfare was and is, the fact that the new path to right wing stardom is performative harassment (LoTT, this guy, etc) is exponentially worse and extraordinarily corrosive to society hurting people should not make you rich and famous

Something I've realized working on several AI-adjacent screenwriting projects over the past few months... "blame it on a stupid AI" is a really handy fix when you've written yourself into a corner, and it doesn't mess much with suspension of disbelief, because everyone knows AI is overhyped and bad.

I’m in the small and spoiled demographic that can afford traveling to see the Olympics. I hate transoceanic flights. I love Los Angeles. I should be the easiest mark for an Olympics held there. And yet… it’s real hard to see a path to how traveling to the states is gonna be okay in ‘28.

As said by @john-nemeth.bsky.social in the replies… 1,000,000 American teens played high school football this year. 257 people were drafted to the NFL this year. Most were not first-rounders.

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

I have the clearest memory of my Mom's handwritten directions for the 500-mile journey to Grandma's place.

I don’t want to overstate my remembrance of Jonathan Joss, but when they mentioned True Grit, I knew, instantly, that he was responsible for one of the hardest laughs I’ve ever had in a movie theatre. May the homophobic piece of shit that murdered him die in prison.

This is my specific worry about the current trajectory. "Why learn any of the cool human talents when a computer can just do that for you?" is a completely rational statement when the importance of the humanities have been overshadowed by the need for credentials and status.

Promising not to overreact (tracking private planes from Milwaukee to Toronto, spreading unconfirmed reports of a lavish dinner reservation for 20 at a souvlaki joint in Greektown)

Completely agree here but also - why write about a boring chud when Sturgill Simpson is right here and just came off one of the most interesting tours I’ve heard in a while
