one of the realest tributes to Prince anybody did after he died. Somebody major needs to get on TV and do for “The Charade” what D’Angelo did here

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

Just got an email saying The Eagles have extended their residency at the Sphere and then I groaned out loud.

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

The highlight of Jared Leto's career, for him as well as the public at large, was playing Jordan Catalano. End of discussion.

I hate them SO much. There is no elegant way for someone of my height to climb on one of those things in front of a crowd.

If you want to see Regina Hall at her absolute best, watch HONK FOR JESUS, SAVE HER SOUL. Her range is immense in it as the wife of a disgraced mega church preacher.

Must read report from Mo on what's happening in Chicago, which is unlawful, inhumane and against everything American is supposed to stand for.

🔥 As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Chicago was not a war zone when Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz began. DHS and ICE have made it one.

Love that Tylenol has to run commercials during NFL football on Fox because of misinformation that was spread on Fox News. Synergy!
