Someone’s about to learn and grow from his important conversations this week, and make a non-specific large donation to an apolitical org like the Red Cross to help “all children”.

I unsuspectingly ordered the Sweetgreen Fishwife collab and YOU GUYS! They make a regular salad and then HAND YOU A CAN OF TUNA! For you to open and drain and mix yourself somehow?? Way to tell me your product is worthless without the packaging.

"An entire generation of young creatives were paid to dump terabytes of posts and videos in a black hole, trying to entertain users long enough to be surveilled and train AI. And not only do they have nothing to show for it professionally, they have nothing to show for it creatively, as well."

THE INVITE is the most fun I’ve had at a movie in years, we were fucking ROARING in the theater. So sharp and hilarious, Olivia Wilde’s directing was fantastic but her performance was also great.

Some people say criticism is dead. I say show them this.

A Sarah Dempster review of The Tudors, reading: “Verily, my liege, this idiot Canadian-Irish co-production does dance a merry jig upon the very concept of historical accuracy, with its Irish Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), its ripped courtiers and Joss Stone as Anne of Cleves. There is the occasional grudging nod to Actual Historical Stuff (the Reformation, wives etc). But it’s mostly just Henry banging his way around Tudor England, his bum cheeks jack-hammering with such ferocity that they are little more than a meaty blur, like a deli counter viewed from the top deck of a speeding bus in the rain.”

I’ll take your copaganda TV and raise you mainstream legal TV shows that help most people believe that, if/when accused of a crime, the justice system will always provide them with fair due process and their day in court, administrated by officials acting in pursuit of the truth.

The Materialists is FANTASTIC. It is very funny in places and very romantic in places but it is not a classic romcom despite what the marketing may want you to think? I adored it.

Today's information environment is spectacle. It's about attention. The way to win in that environment is to genuinely believe what you believe, to believe in yourself, to *actively try to draw attention*, to showboat & peacock & find gimmicks & excuses to highlight the fights you want.
