Kinda laughable how much better Nickel Boys is than every single front runner and winner this awards season. Like, it’s not even close. The courtesy noms feel almost insulting at this point.

Good weekend to watch Hale County This Morning, This Evening. It’s my staff pick this week: www.avclub.com/staff-picks-...

Now streaming on Mubi! Enjoy!

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

@ericdsnider.bsky.social Thanks to your tireless comedic efforts in days past, I found one of your favorite words in today's Spelling Bee.

Gonna post cringe for just a second here. Not on a self-pity kick, just out of ideas and pride: I have some irons in the fire and some contract stuff, but I need a full time job in LA. Whatever I've been doing isn't working and I need help. If you have any ideas, please DM or email me (in bio).

Since the next step for people like Trump is to blame the consequences of his actions on others, the most effective response to people like this is "It sounds like they lied to you." You can't turn these people into overnight liberals; you *can* shake their trust in the people who deceived them.

My latest.

One of my friends is sitting at an airport gate and one of the passengers is loudly blowing a shofar and incidentally one of my pet theories is that Americans abhor dense housing solutions in part because because every day they experience people who cannot behave normally in public settings.

Buy something from my daughter’s store!

Finally got to see John Stockton involved in a championship W.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

“Say Drake,”

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

I wanted to know why so many young men are betting on sports. What I learned genuinely shocked me. My story @us.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

SING SING finally available for digital rental, a pre-emptive welcome to everyone who will join me in my CLARENCE MACLIN DESERVED AN OSCAR NOM FOR ACTING rage and IT'S GOOD THAT HE GOT ONE FOR WRITING THOUGH relief

This made me happy.

I'm very disappointed he didn't get that supporting actor nom -- I think wrongly because people thought he was "just playing himself" -- but so grateful for that writing nod.

More than anything, today is a great day for the Church to take seriously the Sermon on the Mount. May we as followers of Jesus organize our lives around his presence and his teachings, offering a prophetic and priestly witness that confounds the world.

THE CROSS AND THE LYNCHING TREE is a book every American Christian should read.

I hope this guy has found another world to conquer www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

the banning of tiktok is another painful reminder to buy physical copies of your media. i have dozens of dvds of an ai voice reading reddit comments over unrelated minecraft footage.

The answer is always Attack the Block.

How to turn off Gemini AI in Gmail: • Go to "Settings" • Go to "General" • Scroll down + unclick all boxes labeled "Smart Features & Personalization" (For me there were two boxes to unclick) Once I did that I rechecked Settings & found that no less than (10) different categories deployed AI 🤢

This, of all the Lynch quotes shared today, is the one that finally wiped me out

Been thinking a lot about inspiration, and to me there are two kinds of artists who inspire: those whose work leads you to think “I can do that” and those whose work demonstrates “There’s no way I can do that.”

I didn't always love his movies, although I loved the ones I loved as much as I have liked anything, but the extent to which David Lynch was able to make his weird and singular art in exactly the way he wanted to make it, for so long, is an inspiration. His whole life was an artistic statement.

I feel deep sorrow at the passing of the great David Lynch, and deep gratitude for his life and work. He changed movies. He changed television. He opened the eyes of generations of critics to new possibilities for both. And his two minutes in The Fabelmans will remain a source of joy for me forever.
