I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I've told this story often, but after I interviewed Zhao Tao in 2016, I asked if I could take a photo for the piece. When I picked up my camera, she straightened her back, tilted her head slightly, looked down the lens, and became a movie star. It was the damnedest thing.

Once, during a storm, an older gentleman knocked on my Cuban godmother’s door and after some pantomime because neither spoke much English, she determined he needed eggs. She gave him the last of what she had even though she was on a fixed income. 1/6

“… quest to shake up America’s vaccine system”.
Dear Dangerously Incompetent NYT Editors,
The word you are looking for here is “destroy” or “subvert”. Perhaps “undermine” if you’re being overly cautious. “Shake up” is a choice to naturalize the attempted murder of children.

It’s hard to not see the Netflix/WB news as a sort of doomsday scenario. The constant mergers and large scale absorptions of brands might be good for business, in theory, but they are bad for art; they are bad for creators; they are bad for preservation. Which makes it bad for us.

Year-end critics’ lists exist for people to fight over, so I’m happy when people complain about them. But the complaint I will never get is, “I’ve never heard of most of these movies/albums/shows.” Yes, and? Why be mad about learning about stuff you didn’t know before from the news?

They are so funny. Our neighbors are being stuffed into unmarked vans, and they’re all like let’s vote against a term we probably can’t define instead.
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

50 years ago today, this photo of the Chicago press conference for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was taken.
In the background you can see Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert — in the clothes they wore in the Siskel & Ebert pilot, which was also shot that same day.
