Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

the hollywood standard for men going from like “modestly fit [well known actor in his late thirties]” to “a body fat percentage that puts you on the verge of death” is probably bad and underpins a lot of rw subcultures i think

wish more of Film Twitter had moved over here, because the ratio of politics to nonsense fun things is way out of whack

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

"Instead, this film series wants normalcy, to be everything for everybody. That misbegotten desire brings down Wilson and makes this latest installment in cinema’s longest-running soap opera its most out of touch yet." The @ebertvoices.bsky.social review that has the comments section furious.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Flag on the play. Looks like it’s “having a big play against the Chiefs”

If the PlayStation network stays down any longer, people are going to be at risk of getting to know their family members

i really hope democrats are listening to @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-win...

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

New York lawmakers are considering a change to the state's special elections law that would keep Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat open for months, a move backed by Hakeem Jeffries as a way to deny Republicans’ already bare-bones House majority of a crucial vote.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

At some point are any of these anti-DEI radicals going to realize that there are not enough white men who want to do these roles?

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

TV seasons should be 22 episodes long with no commercials, made by cable auteurs who get network money but work reasonable hours & there should be a legally obligated Halloween episode with a sexy misunderstanding

"I think we have this idea that we're gonna make friends with bad guys and bend them to our will, and really we're just...friends with bad guys." --The Diplomat, S2 E4 (I've been binge-watching this, and it is excellent.)

Would have made a good campaign message, IMO

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job

a bunch of rich guys with nothing in their lives but their own money have hit middle age and are losing their minds

why do we need AI-generated profiles. why

Creative expression has helped Black people to endure racism and offers us a way forward in a new Trump era.

Just flipped thru Netflix. When did violent abduction/rape/abuse against women become a multi million $ genre? Can you imagine if we created a genre of movies about women stalking, abducting and raping men...that made hundreds of millions? FFS use your wallet. Don't buy movies promoting SA!

makes sense. americans want to deport the undeserving immigrants and keep the deserving immigrants, a thing that is definitely possible to do

From Vulture: "Kraven seemed to confirm one of Hollywood’s worst fears. Namely, that outside of Deadpool & Wolverine’s record-setting $1.3 billion haul this past summer, audiences just don’t seem to turn out for superhero movies anymore." Oh, outside of that one movie making a BILLION dollars, huh?

what happens when a widely celebrated public television show for every kid searches for profit? it too can be on the chopping block

queen latifah is a comedic miracle in "last holiday" (2006). let's bring back screwball comedies, just so she can do them!

get every single one of these people out of leadership and put them on a farm somewhere i don’t give a shit www.msnbc.com/jonathan-cap...

rewatching "the princess bride" (1987) and recalling there was once a time audiences young and old were to be trusted with heart, humor, and winding, complex tales...
