I was talking to my partner about how I love classics but am zero percent interested in watching a 'Christopher Nolan does the Odyssey' movie. And he goes "Which one is he? I get him confused with James Cameron."
I would be 100% interested in watching 'James Cameron does the Odyssey' movie.

I wanted to shout out to my "tireless" colleagues at the Texas Tribune reporting on the weekend's flooding, but on Monday morning it's clear that they're very tired. The reporting is insightful, the photos visceral, and the tips for how to help purposeful. www.texastribune.org/series/texas...

The Times should be reflecting on why their newsworthiness standard here dovetails with the motives of a discredited race scientist and white supremacist.

This post really made me realize how "woke" doesn't even just mean "anything non-cishet white," it literally means "anything that I perceive as being different from things I saw when I was 12 years old"

I grew up watching this show with my family and LOVED Margaret, who got to be complex, flawed, extremely good at her job, and still hilarious.

#TheStudio could get a TV-focused spinoff, at least if the head Lionsgate TV (which produces the show) has his way. That and more from my exclusive Q&A with TV's longest-tenured studio chief, Kevin Beggs: theankler.com/p/lionsgates...

Stop automatically making your AI agents women and giving them women names and then making marketing videos where you demand things from them. Your engineering team is all men. It's deeply weird and uncomfortable!

glad that this is being written about but lol, how depressing that "the new boss came in and made sure the website was actually usable" feels revolutionary for the media in 2025
The new CEO of The Onion spent his first month on the job getting rid of the website's god awful ad tech and focusing on improving the user experience. He then launched a paid membership, reintroduced the print product, and expanded the staff from 14 to 27.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

Why are y’all so horny for the US to get involved with India/Pakistan. The US’s history in this region has not been great! See, for example, the Taliban.
