The older I get, the more “a few billion years” doesn’t seem all that long.

Im sure this is naive, but one thing I love about @britishbakeoff.bsky.social: its multiculturalism. Everyone is welcome, everyone cares about each other’s success. It’s the anti-Reform, anti-MAGA. It’s hope embodied in thousand-calorie bites of cake.

A truth throughout Hollywood history: everyone wants to own everyone else. Zukor in the 1910s, Loews and WBros in the 20s, studios tried it w/ TV in the 50s, everybody did it to studios beginning in 60. It’s not good for society, but capitalism tends not to care. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

I know we all rightfully hate on AI here, but while colleagues in other fields at my U have said that employers are upfront in expecting AI skills. Convenience and “objectivity” are probably going to win out over human insight and creativity.

Fave films of each year of the 1990s: 1990: Avalon 1991: Thelma & Louise 1992: Malcolm X 1993: Menace II Society 1994: Chungking Express 1995: Ghost in the Shell 1996: Citizen Ruth 1997: Starship Troopers 1998: A Simple Plan 1999: Magnolia

Poster for Malcolm X, released in 1992. Against a black background is a capital letter X inside the X is Denzel Washington as Malcolm X, standing before an American flag.

The poster for Ghost in the Shell, released in 1995. A cyborg woman looms over a city skyline. She holds a gun across her naked chest and wears sunglasses.

The poster for Citizen Ruth, released in 1996. Laura Dern wears a pearly white version of the Statue of Liberty’s robe and a dark green version of the Statue of Liberty’s crown, and smilingly holds up a can of spray paint.

The poster for Magnolia, released in 1999. The image is dominated by a close-up of a magnolia flower. Waves ripple from the center of the flower, and the faces of characters in the film appear in the petals.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

We need to stop thinking of the GOP as cowardly. Many of them are eagerly abetting this destruction. Trump is simply the blunt instrument by which they realize their goal destroying functional democracy.

I hate conspiracy theories. But given that reports had been circulating for a week that Trump planned a mic-drop moment at the WHCA dinner and the sheer incompetence of the reporting, yeah, I’m willing to believe this was staged.

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.
