He’s been nominated for a Grammy twice since his “cancellation”, and won one of them. Fuck off with this.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

You know, they have tanks for that, now. So Cillian Murphy or whoever isn’t fucking lost at sea.
Christopher Nolan says they shot over 2 million feet of film” for ‘THE ODYSSEY’

“We got the cast who play the crew of Odysseus’ ship out there on the real waves, in the real places”

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/
To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

Watching the pre-Hangover Bradley Cooper, Clive Barker-based The Midnight Meat Train, and it’s hilarious the lengths to which they’re going to avoid showing genitals in a subway car full of naked people hanging from meat hooks.

Fuck Johnny Depp, all my homies hate Johnny Depp
Fun fact, in the UK, where the courts usually side with famous people against the press, the press can call Johnny Depp a wife-beater because of the preponderance of evidence that he's a wife-beater.

LONDON (AP) — Johnny Depp lost his high-stakes libel case Monday against The Sun tabloid newspaper for labeling him a “wife beater,” as a British judge said he believed the actor had abused ex-wife Am...

“Hmmmm… this director uses as many practical effects as possible, and only uses CGI to fill in the gaps. I wonder how he feels about the Automatic Plagiarism Machine that removes him from the equation completely.”
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Moira has decided they want to do a haunted house for Halloween, and we were concerned because they’ve always had issues with anxiety. So I’m easing them in with some horror movies, and the parents’ guide section on drugs for one helpfully warned that a character takes some Tylenol.
IMDb is my favorite website, because it’s the only one I know of that’s run exclusively by pearl-clutching Christian infants.
