And protecting us lol

when you've got an ego like a Chait or Sullivan, you can't imagine a world where your status wasn't self-earned and entirely derived of your unique brilliant mind. then you move up/into celebrity, get WAY fewer edits, fewer notes, and your nitwit mind is exposed, because editors were protecting you

Stealing a movie with Mahershala Ali, Rose Byrne, Ryan Gosling, Bruce Greenwood, Ray Liotta, Eva Mendes, and Dane DeHaan. I'm glad he's getting to wear capes and devour entire episodes of Andor and such now, he deserves the world. Thanks for listening.

It is so fluid, embodied, natural, naked, honest, but still unshowy? Someone like Ryan Gosling or Cooper (as is their job) knows how to find the camera, as Tom Hanks describes. They embody the movie's needs first, "reality" second. Mendelsohn genuinely feels like they found this guy at Waffle House.

my face when I see another dingbat riding around in the woods really fast and decide to make them my robbin' friend

At the bar I worked at in Greenpoint for a few years, someone had left behind their PLACE BEYOND THE PINES crew hoodie, which sat in out lost-and-found bin in the basement for years, and now I wish I'd snagged it so I could go door to door spreading the gospel of Ben Mendelsohn's Robin

Leave earlier

The point you make is right and a huge bummer, but worth saying I’m also in the bubble of people who like your work, especially Devil House!

Shit yes, saving to read this afternoon, thank you!

I'd like to see AI do this —

:: runs for a loose ball, slips on some mud next to the court, smashes face on nearby chain-link fence, breaking my nose into 20 new smaller noses and I never breathe the same again::

:: Students keep cutting across the quad instead of taking the sidewalks::

This MUST mean there is NOT enough TIME between classes to safely and comfortably walk from building to building?!?!

on my list of capitalism fears, one of the biggest is not knowing if we're in late. what if this is just the middle!

I've been working on a reported piece about Monotype before all this; wanna chat? DM me.

it's this generation's cigarettes

paging @hels.bsky.social the queen of the double stock

My favorite editor unfortunately always answers this question with his voice rising at the end, a la “oh, let’s have a draft by next Friday?” and all my dumb brain hears in that implied question mark is “he doesn’t care, take forever”

God damn, Memoirs of Hadrian is so good

This is right. If Lizza had had *truly* valuable reporting about anyone besides his ex and RFK a year ago he would’ve converted that valuable reporting into money for himself by selling it!
