El genial actor Carlos González me habló de su pueblo, del bullying y las muchas mujeres que le salvaron la vida, empezando por la Jurado; de Almodóvar, Cántame cómo pasó, pelearse con su talento, Cardo, La vida breve, Mariliendre y ser solo un niño que jugaba con muñecas

Carlos González, actor: “De pequeño era el único en el pueblo que jugaba con muñecas”
En los últimos cinco años, la carrera de este riojano que ha pasado por ‘Maricón perdido’ o ‘Cardo’, se ha disparado: en los últimos meses ha generado grandes críticas por ‘La vida breve’, ‘Mariliendr...

En España, hay miembros de un poder del Estado atacando a periodistas y ciudadanos de manera reiterada y haciéndoles chascarrillos y menosprecios...

Son miembros del Poder Judicial, por cierto.

Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?”

Zohran Mamdani: "We're gonna make this a city that doesn't just protect trans kids, but also celebrates and cherishes them."

“La Movida está denostada. La derecha los tiene como unos drogadictos maricones; la izquierda, como gente que no se politizó lo suficiente”

Hablé con Carlota Casado, decoradora en jefe de Almodóvar y guardiana de que la Movida no se fosilice como un cliché

Carlota Casado, la mujer que sueña con un museo de la Movida
Es hija de la Movida en sentido figurado y literal: es colaboradora habitual de Almodóvar e hija de la diseñadora Elisa Bracci. Por eso le preocupa que a aquella generación le pase lo que a todo recue...

Emilia Pardo Bazán dedicó especial atención a los asesinatos de mujeres, “mujericidios”:
«El récord de la criminalidad lo baten los románticos del honor, los asesinos de mujeres, los suicidas en combinación, que primero despachan a su novia y luego se vuelan la tapa de lo que no tienen» (1902).

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.

People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.

It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

we still haven't moved past the double meaning problem here---the people who want Zohran to be "tougher on antisemitism" really mean "silent on Israeli genocide."
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse.

In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.

Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.
It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC

TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you.

Trump is a creature of media before anything else and I suspect one thing we're seeing in this (wild!) Mamdani meeting is that nothing impresses/intimidates him like someone capable of generating a competing media phenomenon

I've long maintained that the Democratic party tolerates criticism of Israel as long as it doesn't trip into anti-semitism. The Republican party tolerates anti-semitism as long as it doesn't trip into criticism of Israel. And here we are.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...
