Only Tablet could publish ‘the moral case for ethnic cleansing’ and ‘who killed the oscars by not giving me one?’ within like a week.

... but whatever you do, don't call me a narcisist. "Hollywood no longer knows how to celebrate, much less create, art. If you want to know what happened to it, look at what happened to me." www.tabletmag.com/sections/art...

When did Zelinsky "shout" at either Trump or Vance? I no longer believe that Bezos is not dictating the Post's news coverage, even if he doing so without directly saying so and the editors are simply surrending in advance. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I know the Dolls were fun and "important," but I absolutely loved the first David Johansen Group album, and also the live album--also the shows I saw by them as a teenager-- and also the many, many "Buster Pointdexter" shows I've seen over the years, especially when the Carlyle

More reasons to love the guy: Singer Mick Jagger, plans to donate his share of the Rolling Stones catalog to charity instead of leaving it to his children. The material is valued at US$500 million, around R$2.5 billion at current exchange rates.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies know that it’s a bad idea to stand up to Trump. Why doesn’t Zelensky?

Grey Goose is one of my only brand loyalties. I need another case of citron. I see the posts accusing them of contributing to Project 2025 which means we are through. If true, I will have to switch to Ketle One. But this is a big change in my life and I need a RELIABLE source. I can't find one.

With the Oval Office meeting widely broadcast at least Tulsi Gabbard didn’t have to transcribe it into Russian.

Even worse, it's not at all "insane"

Gratified that yet another poll says we're the best positioned to beat Andrew Cuomo by far. Thank you all for the support - we're going to win this thing & bring public integrity, strong leadership & real solutions back to City Hall! t.co/Pzq23VCGa8

An extraordinary display of public support for Ukraine, yes--and also an unprecedented public rebuke of the United States by virtually all of its allies.

What a disgusting couple of thugs American assholes elected. The United States has never been so shamed.

Gotta hand it to Andrew Cuomo. “I was sued after sexually harassing 13 women and think Donald Trump is innocent!” is a bold opening motto for a Dem primary.

"Threatening criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment" is absolutely correct. Good letter from @aoc.bsky.social. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Francis Coppola on his Razzie award nominations should be the thing that that finally kills the stupid Razzies out of shame and embarrassment.

I wish that movie had been better, though....

It's a shame for the real reporters at the Post, and for the great Becca Rothfeld, but absolutely appropriate. One Wall Street Journal is already too many

I have an article coming tomorrow about this attempt to create a American "titushky"

Word of the day is 'recrudescence' (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

GOP reps love your vote, but not your voice. They’re dodging town halls faster than Trump dodged the draft. Demand answers! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/run-for-of...

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just stumbled upon a this perceptive piece by Eric Alterman on the self-defeating purity purges of the DSA. I’d say that my fellow US lefties need to drop the obsession with BDS and anti-Zionism. forward.com/opinion/6326...

If students refuse to abide by the laws of their university and respect its purpose and the integrity of the process in place for classes and other activities, they should be expelled. It does not matter how righteous they believe their cause is. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...
