Why are so many celebrities doing sponsored content for a company selling MRI scans? I wrote about it for Pajiba. www.pajiba.com/celebrities_...

The Social Network was great. The Social Reckoning less so. Why did Aaron Sorkin stumble so far with the sequel? I delved into it for @pajiba.com. www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

Again, Kayleigh Donaldson says it better than I did. Misogyny is not cutting edge. It’s boring and mainstream.

Been getting a lot of responses to this on other platforms and hoo boy Shane Gillis fans really love using the R word, don't they?

"You can be as mid at your job as you want when the easiest thing in the world is to make bullies laugh at the same victims they’ve always mocked. Shane Gillis isn’t brave. He’s the establishment." I wrote this. gossip-reading-club.ghost.io/some-thought...

Right? It's the same crap we've heard hundreds of times before from other comedians and comments sections across the internet. These people have, like, six jokes, and three of them are about pronouns.

Ricky Gervais, Bill Maher, Dave Chappelle... they've all cornered the market in never having to update their material beyond the four jokes about pronouns they saw on 4chan because anyone who calls out the crappiness of it all can be dismissed as a triggered snowflake and the press goes wild.

One of the most tedious thing about the "anti-woke" comedy bros like Shane Gillis is that they've successfully found a way to spin their boring, out-of-date, "heard it a thousand times before on a Reddit thread" jokes as radical because anyone who calls it out as crap must be over-sensitive. Yawn.

I had the pleasure of talking to Slow Horses director Adam Randall and actor Tom Brooke for @avclub.com about why this show is so good at shooting showdowns in mundane public spaces like service stations www.avclub.com/slow-horses-...

The Social Reckoning is not very good. I'm not sure it could ever have been good, but Aaron Sorkin really doesn't make things easy with his well-worn shtick and inability to write women. Here's my review. gossip-reading-club.ghost.io/review-with-...

Truly, the nerve of Europa to think that given how Ann Goldstein's translations of the Ferrante novels were what made them famous.

Kayleigh Donaldson @ceilidhann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

The neck-breaking hubris required to think that translation is a job so devoid of artistic power and imagination that AI could do it and readers won't notice...

It's been so interesting to see some fans blame Kelce for Swift's poor recent songs. He's a bad muse, apparently. I think it's more that she's a bad winner and got the thing she'd always wanted, and it's not conducive for her brand.

I do wonder if it's a sunken cost fallacy situation where they're too deep to get out, even though the lie has to become more outlandish to sustain itself. It's hard to admit that you've spent years committed to a delusion.

After seeing those cute photos of Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton, I wondered if that weird tinhatter subset of his fans were still being racist and conspiratorial about their relationship. Yup. Yikes.

It can be convenient to have a podcast on YouTube, just for work background noise, but yeah, none of these shows that are pushing the video pivot have ever called for it. Oh, you have a couch and sponsors on the wall? And?

I didn't say there was no point. I said they were weak and that's also the attitude of the film, albeit through a more misguided lens.

In the aftermath of the Rust shooting, Alec Baldwin starred in a trashy reality series and a serious documentary, both intended to reveal the "real" Bladwin. They're very odd viewing experiences. I wrote about them for @avclub.com. www.avclub.com/the-trial-of...

Trashy TV and a serious documentary struggle to make entertainment out of Alec Baldwin's Rust trauma

Despite their formal differences, doc The Trial Of Alec Baldwin and reality show The Baldwins have the same arrogant aim.
