I have known many cats and I've worshiped them all as the ancient pact requires, but if I'm being honest, my favorites were always the ones where we had to constantly say "She's not mean, that's just her face"

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I love when K Pop stans find out we wrote something nice about one of their idols' outfits, because our mentions on X are all "Tom + Lorenzo, a well-respected entertainment publication in America, wrote that Jimin looked hot at the Dior show."

I think Bluesky got a little out over its skis on this. The videos are awful, but there's a clear lights-and-sirens double standard on display. And while I don't think she's a very nice person, I don't see how that's disqualifying for a politician in 2025.

Katie Porter is the leading Democratic candidate to become California’s next governor, but her behavior in two viral videos have hurt her early campaign efforts. Other candidates’ teams are scrambling to take advantage.

Katie Porter Videos Give California Rivals a New Opening

Viral videos showing caustic behavior have blunted her momentum in the California governor’s race. Other campaigns are scrambling to take advantage.

Took this excellent advice tonight and my God, she's so good in it. It feels condescending to say she held her own with Nicholson and Beatty If anything she made Nicholson hotter and Beatty more intense. They had to meet *her* level. An understatement to say she holds the film together

Mark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 1d

There are so many Diane Keaton performances to remember, but a lot of people haven't seen Reds, and A) my God, see it, it is a masterpiece and B) her performance as Louise Bryant is one of the bravest, toughest, least sympathy-courting pieces of work by an American actress in the last 50 years.

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

There's a very specific sort of deadened, quiet tension when you're in an office late at night and Mad Men was always so good at capturing it

Tom & Lorenzo @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social · 1d

This is all obviously true, but I will say that Mad Men was one of the few shows that ever accurately depicted office politics and culture, in my opinion

One of my complaints about Severance -- which I like quite a bit -- is how obvious it is that no one involved in it ever worked in a corporate office environment. Hollywood in particular is very bad at depicting the hopelessness of a dead-end job with no prospects

Josh Fruhlinger @jfruh.bsky.social · 1d

there's a years ago tweet that basically said that anyone writing TV or movies by definition managed to land their extremely-hard-to-get dream job and it colors how they think about work and jobs and wish fulfillment in the stuff they write, and i think about it a lot
