Just an incredible poverty of imagination to have the capacity to wish any movie into existence and to start with QT and Star Trek.

I keep learning facts about Olivia Nuzzi against my will.
somehow I don't know exactly who Olivia Nuzzi is (or rather, how she came to reach some sort of celebrity status), and I kind of really don't want to know, based on context clues

His position was, "I'm cool with you sleeping with Mark Sanford, but Bobby crosses a line," is that right?

I don’t know, she’s doing exactly what new management wants, right? They’re driven by having their prejudices validated, and are happy to pay for it - given their wealth, it’s coins found in the couch. See also Bezos and the Washington Post.
I think this person will not be employed by CBS this time next year

The best thing I learned from Macaulay Culkin at last night’s Home Alone screening is that his 4yo son loves the movie, thinks of himself as Kevin, and has no idea that that’s his dad. Culkin is attempting to hide that fact for as long as possible

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

Aside from being grotesque and just casually racist, it reflects that the paper sees the world the way Trump does: every interaction must have a winner and a loser. Everything is zero sum.
It’s cold comfort, but they hate themselves and one another as much as they hate us.

What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?
