This is because hating the Democrats is a way to build social currency with other Democrats in a way that the Republicans don't do

I managed the production service tax credits applications for that show, which is how I could afford to make my own non-commercial stuff that year, which was neither the first time nor the last time how a year in my career went down. Good gig. Good show.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

I opened up Word to write something tonight and when that Copilot prompt appeared unsolicited, I chose violence.

Ha. I did that on purpose. 😊 The Underground Railroad. (I think it’s the greatest limited series ever.)

It’s the 2nd best shot series I’ve ever seen.

None of Brahms’ symphonies can touch Schumann’s 2nd, but not many other composers’ can, either.

I really did love lots of Season 1 but that finale really was awful. The big reveal about Mikey just made no sense at all. Not many shows jump the shark in, and retcon, their first season. (And also you can’t throw “Let Down” over the last few scenes and call it a day, you just can’t.)

Sadly, the only team dumb enough to trade for him already employs him.

(also, if you're gonna invoke songwriting greats, sure Dylan, but maybe another songwriter, and not a band that was Dylan's backing band, and also, "by way of Scorsese" means what exactly, we know he made a movie about them, which is relevant to their songwriting how)

Geese: Live at Third Man Records Read Linnie Green’s review of the album.

This is silly, even for PItchfork.

"a reputation as potential saviors of rock ’n’ roll"

I mean, according to you.

"It's easy to invoke the songwriting greats here - Bob Dylan’s wry social commentary, or The Band by way of Scorsese ..."

I mean, it's not that easy.

If this is accurate, it’s among the most cowardly and despicable acts in the recent history of the American military. Every officer and common sailor who was involved in this affair, even to the extent of failure to object, must face court martial and the most severe penalty.

I was there. Maddow really is unique as a public intellectual / journalist / host / celebrity, and uniquely ready for this moment.

Asking Kits boomers what they think about city making isn’t going to fix the broken paradigm, it *is* the broken paradigm.

I think it's underreported that Unite Here is really, *really* throwing their weight around in local politics lately, usually opposing hotels and hotel-related things. Including robocalls under an affiliiated "Take Back Vancouver" brand www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Seeing @maddow.bsky.social @ the Chan Centre in Vancouver right now, if the USA won’t let her back in after, we’ll keep her.

It was, and but the book is maybe the least DeLillo-like of all of DeLillo's books - it's more of a bottle novella than it is a novel - and also Cronenberg was in the middle of one hell of a run back then.
