Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Lots of Americans have been in denial about this school bombing in Iran. Here, confirmed by The NY Times. It was the US who killed those babies. 175+ people, most of them little kids, dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Love Mamdani beyond words. But it’s slightly frustrating to see him claim that the city is ready for snow. Maybe some areas are. But here in the perennially abandoned Harlem, we’re still swimming in knee-deep trash & no one cares.

Let’s elect great people like him. And then demand better from them.

Farewell to Park City and #Sundance as we know it. I poured A LOT into this piece, from seeing 50 films, to reflecting on the past and the future of the fest & talking to the local artist who painted that Sundance Kid artwork we all walked by. My latest... filmmakermagazine.com/133235-sunda...

‘The Secret Agent’: Kleber Mendonça Filho on Oscar buzz, zombie legs, and why Wagner Moura is a modern Cary Grant The Brazilian filmmaker discusses his 1977 Recife thriller, political censorship, and cinematic influences—from Alfred Hitchcock to Spielberg’s Jaws.

I interviewed the great Kleber Mendonça Filho on THE SECRET AGENT. Always a pleasure talking to him. (Exclusive clip within). For Gold Derby.

A rough end to ‘25, a rough start to ‘26. Many of my steady outlets had severe budget cuts & I’ve been on the job hunt constantly. I’m very much for hire. I’m a hard worker, a good writer, a very experienced moderator. I’ll appreciate any leads & support w/ a retweet/endorsement.

Current status of all trains that could be useful to me. Fuck—and I cannot stress this enough— daily congestion relief zone robbery, and everyone who believed that money was actually going to make subways better.

Felicity Jones and Kerry Condon on the Moving Naturalism of ‘Train Dreams’

Felicity Jones & Kerry Condon don’t share any scenes in TRAIN DREAMS, one of my absolute favorites this year. But the characters they play jointly represent the film’s soulful themes that I hold close. A joy to interview them, for VOGUE: www.vogue.com/article/feli...

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Zoey Deutch on the Wild Ride of Richard Linklater’s ‘Nouvelle Vague’

I don’t have enough words for how much I love Richard Linklater’s NOUVELLE VAGUE, and Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg in it. It was a joy to interview her for @VogueMagazine. www.vogue.com/article/zoey...

MAGA keeps saying Trump is “saving taxpayers money” and “paying down the national debt.” If that were true, why did the U.S. national debt just surpass $38 trillion, a record high in American history?

I don’t know what Propaganda Barbie is yammering about, but I do know the US Ryder Cup team has lost every session since Trump infected them on day 1 with his loser energy.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Hope I’m not being too harsh in saying that if you were in charge of publishing an entire list of best Robert Redford films & reached out to various male writers & not a single woman, then you probably haven’t taken to heart his legacy & all the things he did in his biz to level the playing field.

So, an MSNBC employee gets fired for accurately talking about who Charlie Kirk was. But this…this gets nothing. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

I can do two things at once:

1. Be against all kinds of violence & condemn it on unambiguous terms.
2. Acknowledge that this was a horrible, even evil person who preached hate & hated me, because I’m Muslim.

(And you also CAN do two things at once.)

Indeed, humans created no art, nothing of note since the ancient times to tell future generations about our evolution, that we need entitled jerks destroying protected land to inform the people of a thousand years from now about who we were.

Staggering levels of 🤯 here.

Can we be honest? No celebrity left a more significant mark in #Telluride than Audrey did in 2019.
