high profits without a labor force is just shuffling money away from the working class to people in ivory towers. we’re in a class war and have been for a long time.
The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

many things are bad, but one nice thing in 2025 is more male actors genuinely excited to play super horny gay characters in films and TV shows and embracing the female and queer fans who love them as a result

I watched his first post-cancellation special genuinely filled with hope that it would be a RICHARD PRYOR: LIVE ON THE SUNSET STRIP-style reckoning with himself and his demons.

Don't tell me that Louis CK was never funny.
Louis CK was absolutely funny before his controversy and it's remarkable that after being backed into a corner, he went all in on unfunny racist and transphobic jokes.
It's FASCINATING how he stopped being funny overnight.

Late-breaking additional reason THE COMPLEAT BEATLES > THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY
Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

Been doing a lot of "for your consideration" catch-up over the past week, and I'd still contend that ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT is the documentary of the year.

That Paul McCartney went so far as to buy the rights to this documentary and take it out of circulation in favor of a separate “approved” documentary project just shows how intense that need for image management and control is, and ~that~ is why so many celebrity docs suck right now

Tbh it's extreme anti-intellectual bullshit to look down at the Mumblecore movement which-whatever you feel about it-was a style choice to get a sense of authentic sounding speech in the then contemporary zeitgeist of Young America
not sure what Gen Z has to do with a 43-year-old’s adaptation of a 52-year-old’s novel—and lest you think it’s just the hed, the piece calls Hamnet “mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation,” never mind that mumblecore predates TikTok by like 20 years

Jesus Christ. JESUS Christ. Jesus CHRIST. Yes, this person is correct, remigration is a white supremacy term for ethnic cleansing, basically. And the Department of Homeland Security, WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST, just used the term. An official government account. That is...that is beyond fucked.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

My Beatle Bible. My Primer. The one that told the story perfectly, and probably did it best of all. 2 hours from Soup to Nuts, and everything you need to know's there. To this day I can't hear "I'm So Tired" without getting that "Beatles fade-out-one-by-one" animation playing in my head.
Good morning! I took the opportunity of the BEATLES ANTHOLOGY's streaming debut to write about THE COMPLEAT BEATLES, the (imho) far superior Fab Four doc, and why, because of the ANTHOLOGY, it's so hard to see.

The Compleat Beatles will always have my heart. It's hard to watch the end titles alongside Blackbird and not feel a real melancholy - for both the characters within now missing and those we've lost who brought us up on the documentary.
