Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’

Very true, and unfair to those in the Humanities, where simply teaching respect and understanding is seen as an agenda. Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

Carrey Mulligan could play Karen Read in a movie

#freekarenread I really need Carrey Mulligan to win an overdue Oscar, and she resembles Karen Read—it’s uncanny. Maybe Karen Read can be that role. She is good at acting roles with so much restraint and silent emotions.

I was hoping to get this gold

Me too!

Hahaha

Beyond exquisite. This is why she’s one of the best to ever do it. #thewhitelotus #whitelotus #carriecoon

Missed opportunity to use the original #WhiteLotus theme at some point in the finale. Overall, it was an hour and a half of great TV, though.

HULU cut the broadcast right before they announced Mikey Madison! I TOLD Y'ALL. You can't give Anora the Best Picture and not award the woman who carried the movie. Performance prevailed! I also won money! #Oscars2025 #Anora
ANORA IS SWEEPING AT THE OSCARS!

Before I read this, wasn't the dubbing the one that was fixed?

Watching the #SAGawards and seeing the audience happier for Timothee Chalamet than he is because of that cringe “I'm real” speech. As someone who does that a lot, am I that horrible? Lol

I love the genuine happiness of the entire #Anora crew and #MikeyMadison's shocked reaction when she won at the #EEBAFTA. It’s the first industry acting award that has crossover voters for the #Oscars2025.

Nice seeing Blake Lively all smiles alongside Ryan Reynolds at #snl50 #blakelively #ryanreynolds

Meryl Streep's surprising cameo at SNL #SNL50 and Mikey Madison's win at the #EEBAFTAs for #anora make this one of the best evenings in quite some time.

Academy Award nominee Willem Dafoe on Academy Award nominee Mikey Madison. Follow your heart.

The incels finally found someone to fuck and it’s America.

It’s horrible what’s happening in the country. How can I preserve my mental health when the news follows me around? There’s too much racism and supremacist undertones posing as policy.

I can't imagine what hell looks like at this point.

They didn't even have to… sad.

Glad #Anora is back in the race! It's the most accessible low-budget arthouse indie movie of 2024 that had box-office success despite the surge of streaming. Pundits were putting so much weight on the random ~300 #GoldenGlobe voters over actual Academy voters. #mikeymadison #seanbaker #neon #oscars

As a linguist, of course, I find it amusing when autocorrect changes “I bought a box of ‘ritz’ for my nieces" not by capitalizing the R, which I expected and why I didn't bother. Instead, it went in an entirely different direction.
