every journalist who has been ringing the alarm bell about this for the last three years should get $10 million from any bailout, as a treat

NEW: The fight for voting rights didn’t end on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It’s happening today in places like Newbern, Alabama, where white officials secretly blocked a Black mayor-elect in 2020. What the Supreme Court does next could change everything.

I wrote about what the Voting Rights Act means today, as the Supreme Court considers whether we still need it to fight racism, or whether that's a societal battle that exists only in the history books these days

My issue with 'best comedies' lists: 1) Lots of *great* movies that aren't really *funny* and 2) Lots of old, very influential stuff that might've killed in the '40s, but just isn't funny today - It's like including 'aspic' on a list of greatest foods b/c of its influence on molecular gastronomy.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Might've been Janelle Monae opening for Of Montreal or the Shins for Guided by Voices, before most of us know who those acts were.
