Can someone tell @stephenking.bsky.social that we've got a seat saved for him at the last PET CEMETERY WITH A C THE MUSICAL show? Usually he responds when I call his pager. He must be traveling.

Trying to get people to understand this has made up the past 5 or so years of my career. It's exhausting
The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.
the average person isnt paying attention. Most people have no idea whats going on.

Canada's egg prices are much lower than America's thanks to stricter food and animal welfare rules. Meanwhile, in the US, our administration is getting rid of committees like the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection.

We're five years away from the 2030s, which seems made up. It's the made up science fiction times. It's the future and we've got nothing cool to show for it yet.

Not sure this was worthy of a push notification, but NYT was clearly excited to be able to send it.

The thing that really sucks about the Gavin Newsom podcast thing where he repeatedly threw trans people under the bus is that it's all so calculated. He clearly went into it with the intention of saying something that would result in news stories being written about it.

And anytime they do, it's views like, "trans people wanting to be treated like human beings" or "you shouldn't lose your life savings to get healthcare" that they're complaining about.

Funny how people never say what they mean by "extreme left."
Hakeem Jeffries complains that "the extreme left protest me more than they protest Donald Trump...I think because I've chosen not to bend the knee to either people on the far left and certainly not to Donald Trump and the far right."

Wrote about why The Substance is trans and Emilia Perez isn't for Vanity Fair. Also argued that Woodworking (a novel by Emily St. James, out Tuesday) is basically The Substance.
Who is my Substance shadow self? It's Sabrina Carpenter. Thanks for asking.

Hey Chicago, here's a dumb nonsense thing to go to on Saturday. I produce a variety show called movie club. This one's got a good lineup. Plus Eli Tea Bar is cool. www.instagram.com/p/DGgj6h-vbW...

You ever smell someone's BO and get uncomfortable with how much you like it? Not in a "you got good pheromones" way but in a "your sweat smells like pizza and now I'm hungry" way.

This seems like a joke but this is truly the vibe of Moby Dick.
Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

That's one way to drive employees away without having to deal with layoffs. This obviously isn't about "collaborating and brainstorming."
All these CEOs are wretched cowards.
