As another Jewish woman in the industry, I can clear this up: It's due to her being an asshole.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

"I recently read back to back a Michael Connelly novel, The Late Show, and Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland. Two wildly different books, needless to say, but reading them in succession proved illustrative." - @scottadlerberg.bsky.social

Has anyone ever overlooked Keaton's contributions to the Godfather films?

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2d

Diane Keaton’s ability to show you a character’s vulnerability was as striking as her gift for showing you what can lie beneath such sensitivity, including neediness at its rawest and most acutely exposed, our chief film critic Manohla Dargis writes.

Often Overlooked, Diane Keaton Was Essential to ‘The Godfather’ Saga

The star’s emotional transparency and expressive eyes helped us see the Corleones as both fascinating and repellent, just as her character did.

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa”

Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd (née Lucy Page Mercer; April 26, 1891 – July 31, 1948) was an American woman who sustained a long affair with US president Franklin D. Roosevelt. Born to formerly-rich parents, Mercer became secretary to Eleanor Roosevelt in 1914 and began an extensive affair with Franklin shortly thereafter. When Eleanor discovered the affair in 1918, she offered Franklin a divorce; but Franklin instead chose to separate from Mercer to preserve his political career.

Sean Penn's character in "One Battle After Another" was just Cotton Hill, short man complex, aggro weird walk and all.
