1/3. It should be astonishing, though it’s not, that the American negotiators want to begin from the premise that Russia was right and that Ukraine is not sovereign. Accepting the lies of the aggressor isn’t just unethical, it’s also unstrategic.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

As the Left devours itself over what could've been done to prevent ethnic cleansing in Gaza, few are pointing out the obvious: Bibi & Trump clearly struck a deal after Oct 7th. In exchange for Bibi keeping the war going, Trump would get to share in the spoils of Gaza after being elected. That's it.

My mantra for protecting my mental health in 2025 was: just the facts, none of the analysis. Unfortunately the facts are so upsetting that I’m…not doing great.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Shit’s about to become so stupid expensive

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Interviewer: “so what’s this gap in your resume?” “Oh, those were the years when they weren’t hiring Black people.”

Gotta admit I’ve never watched Twin Peaks. Thinking now is the time.

As good a eulogy as I’ve ever read

not Lynch's movie, I know, but god, what a sendoff

Biden's final address felt like a eulogy for America

Thinking about folks in LA who voted for Trump. This is the kind of leadership you can expect from here on out. No solutions. No help. Just self-aggrandizing shit posts.

Gavin Newsom made a website to fight the misinformation about the fires. Give it a read. REPOST gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

Angelino born and raised. What's going here really feels like the end of something. Breaks my heart.

I'll never forget when my childhood home burned to the ground and this fucker was blabbering about how we don't rake the forests enough. Can't believe we're doing this all over again.

Never forget.

Me: It’s wild that Dune 2 wasn’t nominated for best director. My wife: The Golden Globes changed their accounting firm?!

The Washington Post is so cooked

Devoured The Wager over Christmas break. Rare is the book that I can’t put down. When Scorsese’s adaptation comes out, I’ll be first in line. Apple better put that shit out in IMAX too.

Just the worst

Me facing 2025

The palpable disappointment I felt when I discovered the Target on La Cienega got rid of blu rays…I knew it was coming, but nothing prepares you.

The year is not over yet, but here are my favorite films from 2024 (still need to see The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Strange Darling, and many more) boxd.it/Bg53q

Looking for another newspaper to subscribe to. Recommendations welcome.

Say Nothing was easily one of the best shows I watched in 2024. Insanely good performances, writing, direction, editing, all of it. A brilliant, ultimately harrowing watch.

Can confirm

Same

#film and #tv people! Who are your favorite follows on this site? Directors, writers, editors, critics, etc!

Phew. Having an alleged pedophile as AG would've been almost as bad as having a sexual predator as President

I have officially arrived. Recovering political junky looking for healthy doses of interaction about film/TV, music, news, and whatever keeps you sane.
