Sometimes I think I’m being unfair in my critique for Ryan Murphy. then I give a new show of his a chance
And I’m not.
He is not a good writer/director.

He lacks focus. His work is pretentious because he always tries to present it for more than it is and overcompensate with cast to hide script

Considering Eric Adams deliberately, as one of his last acts, left a huge $5 billion hole in the budget to screw over Mamdani, feel like Zohran's justified in purging all Adams staffer actually
SCOOP: More than 170 staffers in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will be notified Wednesday that they will not be working under the administration of incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

If you have ever thought that my journalism or my first book were net positives for the world, understand that they probably would not exist if I did not have a spouse who paid the mortgage. If I'd been a solo earner/parent, I likely would have left criticism, journalism or book writing long ago.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.

The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.
almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

Why someone pick La Haine as a 90s film that needs ‘more love.’ I feel like there’s no 90s film that gets more love lol. La Haine is NOT “underrated.”

4.5/5 on Letterboxd, 96% / 95% on RT, 8.1/10 on IMDb. That’s appropriately-rated. It’s wrapped in swaddling cloth and kissed on the forehead.😂😂

For every 1 Isaac Chotiner that rags on Semafor, there are at least a dozen women + journalists of color with articulate critiques of Ben Smith and his new age bothsides bore fest. It’s only (male) journalists with name recognition whose opinions he responds to, so you know it irks him A LOT
If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

In theory yes, I think a lot of times the things they’re discussing do deserve some attention but ideally not in a way that gives these people money

one thing about Nuzzi and Lizza is that they were both transparently ghouls, for Nuzzi *ten* years ago and for Lizza fully eight years ago. a serious profession with real accountability would have driven them both out before any of this.
Ryan Lizza is doing with his Substack what YouTubers have already perfected: taking serious allegations they’re personally involved with and turning them into melodrama to deflect from any of their own culpability and wrongdoing and monetize the shit out of it. Not journalism plus it’s embarrassing

Chicago: Did you know that police departments in the Chicago area coordinate on Slack? Now that I know it's accessible to public records requests, request away:

Their server is called CHI-INTEL and requests should be sent to the department that runs it, the Cook County Sheriff.

Send away!
It *is* possible to get cross-jurisdictional and multi-police department Slack chats out of departments via public records requests. Here's a glimpse at the Chicago-area police Slack chat with people responding with the 👀 emoji to the news that there's been an ICE-involved shooting.
