So far it's been the governors, Mark Cuban, and AOC. That's about it.

The most consequential aspect of these stories is they're airing on local TV news

Speak No Evil (2022) is a bleak horror about the dire consequences when people are too polite. Speak No Evil (2024) is an optimistic thriller about a cuckolded husband finding the will to fight. I don't mind that they changed the story's tone and ending but it did seem like a missed opportunity...

People will remember this, particularly if Pritzker goes on to higher office

Ok, but real talk? The sort of low-engagement persuadable Trump voter you need to flip is not going to sit through a serious policy argument, and would not understand it if they did. “He’s calling himself a king” they can understand. So run with it.

Now would be a good time for Hochul to make a statement against Trump's corrupt interference with NY's affairs

This anodyne sound bite could be about any of the last few Republican administrations. There is zero indication of the unprecedented peril of the current situation. It's not remotely enough.

This is the kind of thought provoking piece they used to do at Grantland, which is about the highest praise I can imagine. I think I've actually changed my mind on expansion now.

And even if we manage to repel the attack, they have already salted the earth so badly that it may be impossible to rebuild what we had for a very long time, if ever

Really enjoyed A Real Pain. I'm surprised more people haven't noted the similarity with Blue Jasmine. Both are about characters grappling with mental illness who spur changes in everyone around them while ending up in exactly the same place they started the film.

It's really interesting to read this because I remember being mystified by the hostility to her character. However, having rewatched Breaking Bad and the Sopranos recently, my own feeling is Skylar has a much more compelling arc than Carmela over the courses of their respective shows.

The irony is firing Adams is probably the one thing Kathy Hochul could do that might actually get her reelected
