I was a bit skeptical heading into Sentimental Value. I was blown away by it. Very rarely do we see mental illness and generational dislocation done well on the big screen. This is one of the best. If you are a sensitive soul, get ready to cry for an hour straight. Somehow better than Worst Person.

It's official: Congress and Donald Trump have allowed the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will either lose their health coverage or face dramatically higher premiums.

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

It remains hilarious to me that they are trying to run the Raging Bull awards campaign for a movie about a guy who plays ping pong
![Timothée Chalamet refused a butt double and got spanked for real during #MartySupreme filming. Shooting the scene "went on for hours" and took about 40 takes.
"When it came time to whack him, there was a stunt ass. There was a double. [Chalamet] wouldn't do it. He said he'll do it himself. He didn't want some other ass immortalized," Kevin O'Leary tells Variety. "Josh [Safdie] was saying,

really whacking him.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ncqqwuufqsj43l7ikfpb5ph/bafkreifr63efxa2mkhbatna3jdx25cigqroenholfly4lotnoxn6ha62zm@jpeg)

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

This is one of the pictures the Justice Department removed from the Epstein files release:
A picture of a table with framed photos of Epstein and famous people. There are two photos of Trump in the picture — including one of him surrounded by women in bathing suits.
