Thank you God for β€˜The Pitt’ being back. I know that sounds flippant in the wake of all this insanity but having one thing to look forward to every week matters, even if it’s just an hourlong work of fiction

ChloΓ© Zhao using β€œOn The Nature Of Daylight” is dirty pool. You got me, girl, I’m already feeling all the things, no need to use that song to emotionally mug me (even tho it totally worked) #Hamnet

β€˜Welcome to Derry’: We’re In a Bit of a Pickle Send in the clowns!

The premiere of β€˜Welcome to Derry’ hasn’t instilled much hope in me when it comes to carrying the torch that IT and all its adaptations (yes even the first one) once lit

Support independent media, now more than ever. Not just news and politics, but film, TV, fashion and other cultural criticism and commentary, from podcasts to apps to good old-fashioned web sites. Pay for it. Turn your adblocker off so they can keep the lights on. Share it.

To hell with this. Richard is one of our finest critics, and Vanity Fair and its readersΒ are so much poorer for this incredibly stupid decision.

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

Per @npr.org, the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the White House U.S. DOGE Service, has built a searchable national citizenship register with data from the Social Security Administration & immigration recordsβ€” without public notice & comment.
Infrastructure for a police state.

Two images of Zohran. On the left is the original from the campaign which shows a close cropped beard. On the right is a version used by Cuomo’s SuperPAC with an artificially longer, darker beard.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.

His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.

This is blatant Islamophobiaβ€”the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

I, like so many others, love to dunk on David Zaslav but the laughter always turns to ash in my mouth when I remember the overwhelming likelihood that he, w all of his many screw-ups during his time as CEO, will ride off to the sunset with literal millions just bc that’s how the system works

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

The hype is real: β€˜Sinners’ is amazing. I could nitpick a few minute details but they literally don’t matter when a movie is this strong, this self-assured, this PASSIONATE. I can see this landing on pretty much everyone’s top ten lists at the end of the year.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.

Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Last Call for β€˜Severance’ Theories The finale lies ahead. What weird theories can we play with until then.

I stayed away from β€˜Severance’ forums to give space to my own imaginings. Now w the finale nearly upon us, I decided to share a few of my guesses on what possibly lies ahead, including one rather wild swing of a theory

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
