I'm writing you to let you know there will be no change in The Handbasket's opinions. I am going to write every day in support and defense of two pillars: protecting marginalized people and telling billionaires to go fuck themselves. I'm confident this is right for America.

Similar story with my dad growing up, slightly feral, in WWII Glasgow; his appreciation for Classic Hollywood passed on to me. That and glorious BBC 2 Saturday Matinees. Some of the movies I soaked up as a child are still my favourites to this day.

TRAGIC STORY, COOP. TURNS OUT THE PARAMOUNT PEOPLE WERE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE OLD BROAD'S CAR THE WHOLE TIME. SLIPPED A GEAR AND POPPED HER BOY TOY IN THE POOL. SADDER THAN A FUNERAL FOR A CHIMPANZEE.

Also, I'd set a comma after "leadership" and cut "as our President" as redundant. Plus I wouldn't be a traitorous quisling defecating all over the Constitution, but perhaps that's just me.

Pushing my cart through the Teeter when a pair of men approached me. Me: *goes on mild alert as women do in this situation* Man #1: “Excuse me—“ Man #2: “Does she look like she works here?” Man #1: “She looks like she’d KNOW! —Do you know where to find Parmesan cheese?”

Happy Valentine’s Day! It was my pleasure to write about the wonderful CROSSING DELANCEY (joining the Criterion Collection this month), and why this seemingly modest rom-com continues to find new fans. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/m...

Once again: tomorrow is the deadline for registration as a Democrat in NYC, so as to be able to vote in the mayoral primary on June 24th. There's not a lot we can do in this moment, but please join me in kicking Eric Adams to the curb.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

An amazing treat for anyone lucky enough to be off tomorrow. The Small Back Room, one of Powell & Pressburger’s most unsung classics starring a peak-form David Farrar, is on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social at 10am. A thing of understated wonder.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
