Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Give me a bag of fries and five minutes alone with this guy, and I could have him babbling publicly about how the honorary Oscars need to be restored to the main telecast.
Like i said no one in the world plays the game like FIFA www.nytimes.com/athletic/686...
Is it ‘soccer’ or ‘football?’ President Trump wants to rename the NFL
The President said "it really doesn't make sense" to call American football by that name.

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan.
If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION.
If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.

'Frankenstein' review: Guillermo Del Toro explores nature of humanity
Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro has always been kind to monsters, so he was probably destined to adapt Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for the screen.

I'm not a purist. I think "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" would play great at any size, even a phone. You get different things out of the experience -- not necessarily worse, but different.
That said, the idea that "Barbenheimer" would have been the same kind of phenomenon on Netflix is just delusional.

The plan for dealing with the Supreme Court ought to start with refusing to treat nakedly partisan decisions as binding and rejecting the idea that courts alone decide constitutional questions.

'Sinners' review: Blood suckers, bold themes, and the blues in thrilling horror
My initial response to it as the credits rolled was stunned silence, the kind of blank stare into the middle distance of an active mind trying to process what it witnessed

#JayKelly is now on Netflix. Here's what I thought of Noah Baumbach's film at the New York Film Festival earlier this fall. #filmsky #georgeclooney #oscars
George Clooney lives la dolce vita in 'Jay Kelly' at NYFF
Here’s another film showing at the 63rd New York Film Festival that explores art and the obsessive artists who make it.

Supporting Supreme Court expansion is pretty close to a litmus test for me for a 2028 Democratic candidate.

Tessa Thompson devours 'Hedda,' a splendid update of Ibsen play
It’s no mystery why this is one of the most coveted female roles in theater.

My full review of #TrainDreams:
My full review of #TrainDreams:
'Train Dreams' beautifully captures the fullness of a life
It is a fictional cradle-to-grave narrative, and its beauty and depth would put to shame a lot of films about real people with real histories to draw from.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
