Oscar Isaac tells us that Victor’s final scene with the Creature in ‘FRANKENSTEIN’ was actually the very first he shot with co-star Jacob Elordi.
“This was a moment when he’s coming in with quite a lot of rage, but I still found it so shockingly delicate and graceful.”

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org ✊
Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

I just tried to type the phrase “snack muse” in a message to @joshuaowen.bsky.social — and my phone attempted to autocorrect it to “anaconda”, which would’ve shifted that conversation entirely. 🐍

The SNAP fight at the Supreme Court is officially over. Trump's Department of Justice acknowledges that SNAP is now fully funded through the end of the fiscal year and thus withdraws its request for an additional stay. The end of the shutdown mooted the case before SCOTUS could touch the merits.

Also, our culture (social media, in particular) has arrogantly disqualified the sentence “I don’t like _______.”
Things that sentence DOESN’T mean:

We're standing in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they strike for a first contract ✊
For over 4 years, workers have fought for a fair union contract. It’s time for Starbucks to bargain in good faith and for workers to get the contract they deserve.
