It took me until the final scene of Bridgerton S4 to realize I am now a huge fan of 2 sets of Benedicts and Sophies. One couple may be fictional, but that’s hardly important. ❀️❀️

Another great point
In the past, The BBC has taken the liberty of editing out "free Palestine" in the speeches of presenters so that it wouldn't be spread widely, but chose not to sensor the "N" word in this case, and other cases.

Call Them What They Are The Republican Party has become a haven for Nazi sympathizers.

Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have deployed ever more Nazi imagery and rhetoric, and espoused ideas associated with the Nazi Party, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. He examines how this dark fringe reached the center of the GOP:

You will absolutely fall in love with Sharon Farmer when you watch #ToughOldBroads. This clip of her talking about #MLK and his fight for Civil Rights and a just society is so on point, and her attitude about being fully engaged is one we should all adopt. Be like Sharon. All the time.

Don’t let the lauding of Trump for taking down a dictator take hold. Instead, let’s keep supporting and talking about people like Maria Corina Machado who are risking their lives for the rights of Venezuelans as they aim for a PEACEFUL transition from dictatorship back to democracy. πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ‡»πŸ‡ͺ

And let’s be clear - Trump isn’t bombing/deposing Maduro for the good of Venezuelans. He doesn’t do anything for any reason other than his own gain. He’s forcing a regime change for the sake of his own ego and it wouldn’t matter if Maduro were crooked or straight.

If you were thinking 2026 could be an improvement over 2025, Trump and his War Mongers want you to think again. Day 3 and he’s already unilaterally bombing Caracas. Buckle up, guys, because he’s got 20 more days this year than he did last year to reign w/ greedy fists & burn the world w/ impunity 🌎πŸ”₯

Please, Americans. Use your voice, yell LOUDLY & let your reps know. The White House is making unilateral decisions on the reg - all of them atrocious. But bombing Caracas is actual war. This isn’t AUMF. There was no imm. threat. It’s unconstitutional. The Senate & House need to grow a spine & ACT.

Rob Reiner was a once in a generation person. Kind, talented, someone who gave back, and knew democracy requires attention/participation. He was responsible for some of the best/most memorable films of my lifetime. This whole story is horrific. Thank you for the laughter and the tears, good sir.

Rob Reiner: β€œSilence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Said last night that I bet Trump would say something appalling because Reiner was someone who’d been vocal about his dislike of him. I really, really hoped I was wrong because of how horrific this has been already. But just when you think the lowlife that is DJT couldn’t stoop lower, he does.

It’s like people are just realizing Quentin Tarantino is an insufferable, toxic a****le. Where have y’all been for the past 20+ years?

Quite possibly my favourite answer on #Jeopardy ever. Oh how I wish it had been a clue when I was on, so I could’ve brought out my Pete Campbell impression.

An apt comparison! Two of the best looking actors - why bother airbrushing? Oof. (Also, Laura is a perfect movie. And I will take any opportunity to watch it.)

Sad to hear of Tom Stoppard’s passing. One of my all-time favourite playwrights (and scriptwriters). Just the best. What a legend, what a legacy.

So proud of this win! We’ve worked very hard on this campaign and it’s so great to see it resonating and being recognised. Thanks to @sholehaf.bsky.social for bringing me on this wonderful ride!

Some are 😑 that I’m treating For Good like its own film, when I should be seeing/reviewing them as one big movie. (It’s Universal’s decision to do 2 films, not mine!) Others: β€œthey’re 2 TOTALLY different movies & you’re dumb for comparing them/expecting them to be similar”. Well, which is it? πŸ€―πŸ˜‚

I knew that fact that I didn’t think the #Wicked finale was 100% perfect would get fans angry. Apparently I don’t β€œget” cinema, guys. What a way to find out.

I preferred Part 1…but For Good still has an enormous amount going for, esp. Erivo.

Jonathan Bailey is the golden retriever of actors, and Ernie Clement is the golden retriever of MLB players.

I will not be taking any questions at this time.

Got the chance to talk with one of my favourite filmmakers, @edgarwright.bsky.social, about his latest - @runningmanmovie.com! Check out the interview below, then get yourself to the theatre to see #RunningManMovie.

The Best Postseason in Baseball History? This year’s playoffs and World Series showed that the game can still deliver the unexpected.

"The National League was founded a month before Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone," Steve Rushin writes. And baseball "somehow still delivers the unexpected and the unforeseeable."

Thank you for these annual treats. I have avoided these dumb movies for years, and you’ve landed on the only enjoyable way to consume them. I’ll need a year to recover before Saw III, so let’s all stay alive in the interim!

A note to Canadian parents: It’s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year.

If you show up at my door after then, I’m giving your children chewing tobacco.
