People are always like real job stability is in medicine or the law, but the most secure job is actually white guy writes op-eds about how he’s sick of the minorities.

I’d pay considerably more than that if it were a “Punch a Nazi” booth at a fair, so pretty good deal all in all.
This reminds me of an interesting and similar legal situation that resulted in a man being fined one dollar.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Went to grad school to be a teacher bc I was afraid writing couldn’t support me; dropped out after multiple panic attacks. Foundered for 3 years before starting to write movie reviews for Usenet newsgroups. Got a shout-out from Roger Ebert which I parlayed into a job I still have 26 years later.

My favorite thing about the “karaoke Pope” meme is that I don’t think I’ve recognized a single lyric anyone has attached to it yet, and I’m completely fine with that.

A Saturday in late November should not feature half of the top 10 college football teams with a bye, and the other half playing 30-point underdog whipping boys.

I understand how awards usually go, but Paramount not even making a “for your consideration” effort for Neeson and Anderson in THE NAKED GUN feels like marketing malpractice.

Woke up this morning inexplicably wondering whether the members of Starland Vocal Band are still alive.
They are, and also apparently two of them co-wrote John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” #TheMoreYouKnow

Generative AI has the ability to make someone an artist in the same way a microwave has the ability to make someone a chef: Sure, the result will be a consumable product, but you’ve put nothing into it of which you could be proud.

It’s almost as unimaginable that he would know what “despot” means.
its unimaginable that trump would consider “despot" an insult
Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?
MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have
TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

AppleTV didn’t drop the screener for THE FAMILY PLAN 2 on its media review platform until its premiere date (today), so I’m going to take that as a warning above and beyond my recollections of THE FAMILY PLAN.

When Karoline Leavitt says (basically) that a lot of people voted for Trump because he insults people, she’s not wrong. We just need to normalize saying that the people who support Trump specifically because he’s an asshole are also assholes.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
