In the abstract, deporting “illegals” sounds great, because every person can put their own imagined worst case immigrant in the scenario. It’s different when you see the specific people being harmed. Enough folks have a shred of decency left to see the humanity of Trump’s targets

Public opinion on immigration is 1) malleable, and 2) easily sours on visible cruelty, and if anyone told you otherwise over the last 5 years, they're offering you cursed ideology masked as wise pragmatism

Again, the main argument for why these guys want to cause a recession is that labor becomes much cheaper for them. There are other things at play, but that's a big one.

Sinners looks like a huge success but it's a black movie and execs want to make less profitable Trump slop to kiss his ass and so they're deeply unhappy www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

FBI arrested a Wisconsin judge, WTF. From a PR point of view, this is so stupid. Patel and Bondi could have just trashed Dugan on Fox, giving Trump and right-wing media days to natter about "rogue judges." Instead, they've created a sympathetic figure for the Trump-at-war-with-courts narrative.

Maybe federal judges will realize it's time to stop dicking around and time to start throwing people in jail themselves.

The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well time.com/7280114/dona...

the sweaty desperation of Hollywood studios to try and find SOME way to spin “Sinners” as a flop to keep other artists from following Coogler’s brilliant example just looks more and more absurd with each passing day as we see what the actual numbers look like

I'm now checking SINNERS IMAX screenings in the middle of next week and 70-90% of the seats are sold already. Those pieces about the film's box office from a week ago are about to have that Dewey Defeats Truman feel to them.

I feel like whenever someone suggests using AI to deliver documents in less time, there is an implicit "don't worry, nobody is actually going to read these" attached to it.

This Eastern European spot called Korzo a few blocks from me when I lived in South Slope deep-fried their burgers inside the buns. I used to take friends there for burgers and beers, but it's closed now. But, luckily, the photos of their burgers are still on the internet.

In other news, the Sinners soundtrack is fantastic top to bottom. Bangers. So good like the movie.

This is a regular occurrence in LA for older films whether anyone is there to do a Q&A for them or not. Some newer films will get this reaction. SINNERS had multiple moments throughout that earned applause. Same happened with HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS last year.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Happy birthday to @barbrastreisand.bsky.social, whose 1973 fundraiser kept our co-founder Daniel Ellsberg’s legal fight alive long enough for him to win. She kept Dan out of jail for leaking the Pentagon Papers; now we’re continuing his fight to defend whistleblowers.

a non-zero number of people have told me with confidence that i'll definitely be incorporating gen ai into my workflow in the future and im losing my mcfreaking patience. "it's here to stay" not in my fucking house. "but you need to keep up with the times" then leave me behind.

If Warner Bros. was smart, they should hold off VOD and keep SINNERS in theaters through the summer. It’s going to get a lot of repeat business.

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

It’s incredible that now the best case scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

It's cool how Pete Hegseth thought running the Department of Defense would involve knocking out some push-ups on camera and hitting various Marine Todd notes on cable news and then he has just been living the "Jump Into The Fire" sequence from Goodfellas for every single moment since he got the job.
