We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Interesting note about Sinners’ 16 nominations—it was nominated in every single category it could’ve been.
There are 24 Oscar categories, and the eight it missed are the three Shorts, Animated Feature, Doc Feature, International Film, Adapted Screenplay, and Lead Actress.

Will ‘Sinners’ break the all-time Oscars nomination record? How far has ‘Wicked’ fallen? Will the brand-new Casting branch do the coolest thing possible? And more burning questions.

A key ethos of the anti-wokesters is "We are the only people who are allowed to use hyperbole."

Yes, the hockey smut show is a perfect companion piece to the 1986 musical with tunes by the men of ABBA and often incomprehensible lyrics by Tim Rice, a revival of which is currently running on Broadway.
