here’s an excerpt from my book CINEMA HER WAY where Mira Nair and I discuss her film THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST and she shared with me this story about her son, Zohran Mamdani, experiencing Islamophobia post-9/11 while walking with his grandfather in Manhattan.

Imagine being at the first pitch for Cheez Whiz “It’s cheese but in a spray can.” “What’s the purpose of it?” “To spray the cheese into your mouth.” “Sold.”

I've got an inside joke about Troy

I’ve got a short joke about Napoleon.

What do you think a good Socrates joke would be?

RIP

Every SCOTUS judgment is now like: “BREAKING: In a 6-3 vote SCOTUS says that states can Constitutionally require you to have diarrhea”

RIP

I’ve got a joke about Odysseus but it’s long and meanders a bit

For me, nothing beats this one:

CLASS STARTS JULY 9TH. Less than 2 weeks to go! Revision is integral to your writing process. Find out how with this course taught by the wonderful and talented @meaganlucas.bsky.social:

Great to see the establishment folks quietly embrace fascist policies, but draw the line at free bus rides.

GOP: “Socialist medicine is just the state controlling your health.” SCOTUS: “The GOP state can now legally control your health.”

Fighting back can come at a great price. Are you willing to pay it? Check out this month's searing story "Double Feature," from Jenn Hooker:

It’s such a damn good novel

today's square poem from Tracie Renee captured a last walk with a dog so perfectly, it punched me with memories and grief and heartache in ways a perfect poem can make feel just right https://www.havehashad.com/ldsz0

Take my money now

Latinx themes, military SF, sword-and-planet space adventures, Lovecraftian cyberpunk, fabulism, magic realism, and more can be found in my upcoming collection!

But he seemed so normal

Was a good day

ICYMI,

I saw The Zohran Situation open for Blur back in ‘98. Was one of the best damn shows.

Nate Silver is that guy who played one really good season in high school 20 years ago and thinks he’s just as talented today

A Democrat who isn’t over 80, has great progressive policy ideas, AND scares MAGA? Sign. Me. Up.

I'm getting pretty sick of being considered a radical because I want people to be able to get healthcare, to live happy lives, and be able to afford nice things and a vacation every once in a while. People who think that's radical are freaks and mutants, and not in a good way.

Highly recommend all film fans out there to read Lumet’s book, MAKING MOVIES. Still one of the greatest meditations on the art form.

👍

Monster!

Saaaaame

Post a Stephen King story you want to see adapted into a movie

The vibes tonight

BREAKING: accursed Andrew Cuomo has been reabsorbed by the deathless painting from which he came after being marinated in positivity slime thanks to the people of New York and the Ghostbusters

BREAKING: a giant wormhole opened up behind Andrew Cuomo and he was carried off into limbo by Abraham Van Helsing—who gave attendees a thumbs up

Cuomo’s political career is dead And Bluesky is alive!

Lol

BREAKING: Rivers Cuomo has also conceded

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

Fuck off into the sun, dipshit
