hard to believe that our public institutions are suddenly behaving in a manner that many many people have been warning is the logical endpoint of a capitalist government for a hundred years

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

this is one of the funniest things a national politician has ever posted. he live-tweets a tv show during an ongoing constitutional crisis and when someone tells him they find this irritating he’s like “hey listen, this show meant a lot to me when i was a 30-year-old boy”

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

I feel kind of naive about it but I really assumed that putting an obviously insane dilettante shithead and sex creep into this particular office would be a bridge too far for the Senate. In retrospect I underrated how much more important it was to them to prove that such a concept no longer exists.

i feel like the read on John Turturro in SEVERANCE has been "yeah he's always great!" but i really think it's one of the highlights of his career. unbelievable work with the angle of the mustache, the degree of wetness in the eyes

None of the big papers, for all their resources, has been covering the (incredibly stupid and vile) chaos that Musk and his strike-force of libertarian Beavises nearly as well as Wired. It's an extremely cheap subscription (and a very good print product as well) and I recommend it.

Blame the voters here if you'd like, but this is also what happens when you forfeit the immigration debate by implying Trump is right but insufficiently committed rather than actually underscoring differences for the electorate.

Perhaps the Oscar telecast’s most noble function is to inspire young people at home in Whereversville to want to work in this industry because it looks fun and there are dresses and people there seem to care about the movies and [fill in the blank young star I have a crush on] is there. Very simple

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than 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.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department
