I also feel like his body of work really disproves the persistent claim that joyful, hopeful, funny, romantic or lighthearted stories are inherently intellectually lesser and can't be Real Art
Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

WAKE UP DEAD MAN may be my favorite KNIVES OUT movie. It is wildly ambitious, with Rian Johnson using the structure & pleasures of a locked door mystery to say something about the state of faith in America right now.
That something? People should choose mercy & grace instead of rage and vengeance.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Black people have always known what white people were about in this country. I’m not surprised they’re coming for birthright citizenship or that they’re snatching people off the streets, or that the bad economy isn’t stopping the power consolidation. White people want supremacy more than joy.

This could also be about journalism. The idea of fighting back against the smears was rarely taken seriously, capitulation was widely accepted and treated as both inevitable and right
Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

As a queer Kentuckian, I am honestly so fucking sick of hearing “fuck the South” from liberals and progressives. It’s a shit take and incredibly essentializing about one of the country’s most diverse and gerrymandered regions. Ppl need to get their hearts right
You seem to think I’m talking about MAGA. I am not. I am talking about the Black and queer and immigrant and Democratic voters who live in the South too. I think it IS sneering condescension to characterize everyone in the South as “Hitlerville” especially in light of Jim Crow
"you don't understand, it has to be okay for people from hitlerville Alabama to try to kill and torture people because it's sneering condescension if you decide you don't like them for it"
Our society would be infinitely better if liberals hated conservatives as much as they hate us.
