The @washingtonpost.com has just broken the story about my cancelled art show that was three-plus years in the making and due to open in three weeks. A press statement is being prepared, and further responses will be announced. For those of you who have already expressed support, thank you.

Every once in a while, a title is so terrible for a film, even if it's acclaimed I'm reluctant to see it. Case in point: JANET PLANET.

Amazed by how much smoking was in CONCLAVE and that they were still able to get a PG rating! I guess it's not bad when it's Cardinals that are doing the smoking.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

NICKEL BOYS is this year's THE ZONE OF INTEREST - a horrifying and oppressively heavy best picture nominee about the worst historical moments of humanity that somehow manages to be PG-13 by keeping the violence mostly off-screen and implied.

I hope Michael Haneke makes another film in his life. HAPPY END would be the opposite of a happy end to his career. It's the only bad film he's ever made, and also, I don't like people proving Tarantino's theory about directors not bowing out at the right time to be correct.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

RIP George Armitage, director of MIAMI BLUES and GROSSE POINT BLANK, both so good and, no matter how loved they might be by some, it still feels like they’re underrated. HIT MAN, his blaxploitation remake of GET CARTER, is a surprisingly cool spin on the original.

I can't believe the Broccolis sold James Bond at the exact moment we need him to take out Elon Musk.

“To the online right, these are progressive power bases that should be attacked and destroyed, or else wokeness will rise again. They believe that by, for instance, canceling contracts to nonprofit organizations and threatening funding for universities, they are winning their war against the left.”

I just saw on PBS, Kris Mayers, the Arizona attorney general, saying that Americans didn't vote for a coup, they didn't vote for a dictator. They did vote for a dictator and a coup though, they just didn't know it. That's why education is so important for a democracy to function.

Worse than Munich 1938. When Chamberlain appeased Hitler, Germany had the strongest military on the continent and hadn’t launched a big attack. Now, US has the strongest military on the continent, and Russia is weakened from 3 years of war. This isn’t from fear and hope, it’s helping the aggressor.

Americans do not understand the incredible crisis consuming all components of their government at once. Thousands of jobs lost, projects on hold, desks unmanned, services stopped, basic safety neglected. Total chaos. Stuff is going to start breaking down, maybe catastrophically.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

This is definitely helpful context for me, I was wondering where it was that Vance had gotten the idea during his Munich speech that the biggest threat Europe was facing was... Abortion buffer zones. Makes sense this is something US hate groups have zeroed in on.

This is a great piece. It really does a nice job of comparing our current historical moment with the 80s, making some really intelligent connections in attitudes of young people now and then.

This is deeply disturbing. Minnesota stands with our LGBTQ neighbors against this unthinkable crime. I’m grateful to the law enforcement agencies investigating. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to Sam’s family and community. apnews.com/article/new-...

I didn't hate Captain America 4, but it's undeniably a misfire. I wasn't bored like some of the recent MCU greenscreen movies (Marvels, Antman 3) but so much of it as a weak imitation of things from a good MCU movie (CA2) while being directly connected to a bad MCU movie (The Incredible Hulk.)

Man how I love this episode. I thought this series was so awesome as a little kid, went through a phase where I thought it was lame and corny, but then I caught this episode as an adult and realized this show was totally brilliant. The Joker passing off an empty frame as art was peak satire.

My doctor let me borrow the book "The Birth of Korean Cool" and even though it's a little bit old, it's a fantastic read. The education section is particularly interesting - great talking with my wife to compare her educational experience in Taiwan with what it used to be like in South Korea!

Everything is so chaotic right now because every single policy decision or debate that has occurred over the past 130 years is suddenly being relitigated--the entirety of settled US laws & procedures are threatened--all at once.
