Hey y’all. I just checked the three community fridges by me, the two on lower Jackson and the one on Washington, and all three were completely empty. My family and I are making some stuff for those three, but go check the ones by you! Let’s get people fed! #nolasky

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

Congrats to Bari Weiss for achieving the highest ratings for the 18-49 demo in 60 Minutes history

60 Minutes is one of only two documentary-style public affairs programs left on the air. The other is Frontline on PBS, which saw its funding gashed by the Trump admin and Congress. They have a matching donation rn.

If only there were a critically acclaimed film about whether CBS execs censoring "60 Minutes" ends up bringing more attention to the story they were trying to suppress.

These idiots don’t understand efficiencies of delivery. A person reading out loud (YT, TT, podcasts, tv news) is 1/5 the speed of using your eyeballs to read. This is why print journalists have zero respect for news anchors. 5mins of talking is like 4 paragraphs of reading that you do in half a min.
I feel the same way about people who suggest we don't need journalists or newspapers any more because we have podcasts. You can change the delivery system but we still need people to have people investigate the news, like we need people to have original ideas and write them down.

Congratz to Griffin & David for the first @blankcheck.bsky.social episode shorter than the movie they're talking about! 🎉🥳🥂😂

#DeathByLightning is great American history, twice as good at half the budget, but all-time performances by an incredible cast, eg @nickofferman.bsky.social #michaelshannon #sheawiggim #bettygilpin @bradleywhitford.bsky.social
Huge respect to all who can make late 19th C politics comprehensible 🙏🔥😅

Spotted a #Waymo going south on Elysian Fields in St Roch… driven by a person. Did New Orleans give em the green light?! How’s a robot supposed to negotiate our terrible roads, dysfunctional vehicles, and idiotic drivers??

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Full-throated recommend for #DustBunny , another spectacular 2025 debut movie. Imagine Jeunet & Gilliam teaming up to make a John Wick… Great stuff!

Reiner had one of the best directorial runs of ALL TIME but it speaks to his non-auteurist humility that when I looked in my DVD library, his titles were not together as a set but scattered throughout in tribute to his great collaborations… 1/2

No Rob Reiner, no #Andor.
Dude was laying the seeds for generations. 🔥✊🙌
#TonyGilroy
A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.
without Rob Reiner’s Castle Rock production company we wouldn’t have:

City Slickers, Honeymoon in Vegas, In the Line of Fire, The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise, Dolores Claiborne, Lone Star, Waiting for Guffman, and more - in a six-year period alone
