He probably needs glasses but would never wear them in public.

I would shut everything down for five years. I’d bring in writers for different projects and not announce anything publicly. No more live action series. My focus would be on movie sequels (eliminate prequels) and animated shows (which could be prequels or sequels).

The world is a hellscape, and that's why it's important to mourn and think about the artists who have passed on. Gene Hackman is one of the few remaining "New Hollywood" actors left, and his departure is another signal of a world where movies have become less important.

It's not a question of if I watch a Gene Hackman movie this weekend but how many. What a legend, and there's so much of his filmography I haven't seen.

huh? his net worth is ~ 350 billion, and the u.s. population is ~ 350 million. We'd all get $1,000. Not $1m. How does this post have so many reskeets?

Chiefs and US Hockey. Losers just like one of the people rooting for them.

Does this mean we become the 11th province?

Guess the US shouldn’t have accepted Trump’s phone call.

When the games matter most, hockey is the absolute best sport. When it’s regular season and not as meaningful, it’s the weakest.

Brian Derrick from Oath weighs in on the upcoming House specials. This seems like wise analysis to me.

These people (the admin people) should never know peace when in public.

As a tourist, I can safely say public trans and the subway got me from New Jersey to LaGuardia. I never felt “unsafe.”

Alina Habba: "New York used to be one of the greatest cities in the country. And we will make it that way again. We will make it safe and we will allow tourism, we will allow people to drive to work, not have to take unsafe subways."

REMINDER: Cutting IRS spending is not a “cost-cutting” move. Cutting the IRS lowers revenue. It’s a move to protect the wealthy, like Elon Musk. Auditing the rich returns $12 for every $1 spent. www.nber.org/papers/w31376

Great thread

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

I passed by federal workers & Washingtonians — significant crossover — protesting DOGE outside of the Department of Health and human Services in Washington. I heard them singing from blocks away. I never tire of seeing my fellow Americans exercise our First Amendment rights in these civic spaces.

people are telling me that I need to speak to WW in a way they can relate to because 54% of WW voted for Trump. The Handmaid's Tale premiered in 2017. The majority of WW voters in 2020 and 2024 voted Trump. Time to let go of the idea that it is nonwhite people's responsibility to hold WW's hand.

The current admin has a lot of terrible people, but do not underestimate how terrible she is, especially given she wants to tear the agency apart and ruin the lives of millions who have loans or are special needs.

Chicago show the fuck up

Fly Eagles Fly

This has to be the worst set of ads I’ve ever seen. It’s been pretty dire in recent years but every ad feels noisy and CGI filled

Superdome highlights and they don’t show Daniel Bryan’s WrestleMania 30 victory? Disgusting.

This

Every commercial is worse than the last one

Genuinely disgusting. Sacrificing trans kids at the altar of fascism does nothing.

Most red states in the South are states with majority black populations. I reject the idea that blue states should punish (or mock) the people living in red states to prove a political point, as if it would even be feasible. This kind of rhetoric solidifies the idea that liberals are out of touch.

The executive director of Fair Wisconsin, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, tells me she's heard from multiple families whose children's gender-affirming care was reinstated after my reporting.

More of this.

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.

Teen Vogue just killing it.

People told me that as I got older I’d get more right wing. I waited for it but it hasn’t happened What has happened and is maybe the real journey for my generation is that the enthusiastic tech-utopianism of my 20s has been replaced by dead-eyed horror and the need to scream warnings however I can

A genuine question: How incompetent is the Democratic Party in Maine?
