I truly could never moderate a panel. I just can't get to that level of enthusiasm about anything that isn't Star Wars.

Daniel S. Levine @dsl89.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The Blade Runner 2099 panel was a farce. The moderator introduced the show as "iconic," which prompted me to say 'How can it be iconic if we haven't even SEEN it yet?' so loudly that the guy next to me laughed. The super brief clips they showed had no context and really didn’t look great. #NYCC

That I get to say I was in the same room as Eva Marie Saint twice thanks to the TCM festival is one of the coolest things I can say. RIP one of the best.

Still kinda weird that the show about the space cops didn't show much of them space cop-ing.

I did not know Bogart made M*A*S*H before M*A*S*H until I came across BATTLE CIRCUS on HBO Max. Based on this poster, MGM didn't want you to know it was actually a Korean War movie.

Move poster for BATTLE CIRCUS, which makes no mention of it being a war movie set in Korea.

I was only a couple of months away from turning 12 and had just started 7th grade. I have distinct memories of that day, and I feel like I'm old enough to remember what life was like before. I remember the joys of going to Disney World parks without needing to be searched.

I was at the Nashville Sounds' first home game since #DollyParton died. Aside from being an excellent baseball game (Sounds walked off with a 3-2 win over Louisville), they did a moment of silence for Dolly before the National Anthem.

Living in Tennessee really helps you understand the scope of the lives Dolly Parton touched. I mean, her face is on license plates here! That so many TN politicians will release flowery statements while hating everything she stood for makes me sick to think about.

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

Yes, stupid immoral assholes have done far too well for basically forever, but right now, it feels like being a stupid immoral asshole has become the ONLY way to do well. That is a problem.

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

I had the privilege of working with Senator Dracula on my bill offering tax cuts to family-owned mortuaries. While we disagreed on much and his horrible embrace has left me unable to endure sunlight, I'll always remember his amusing little jokes about exsanguinating my staff.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.

Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget.

As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans’ success in blocking the pick.

More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump’s effort to reshape the federal judiciary.
During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.

As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Graham played a central role in translating Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president’s sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats.

The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr. Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party’s primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump’s agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump’s return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.
