Gretchen on Flanagan has me screaming with joy

Would you like to watch teenagers talk to each other about cancel culture in desaturated, non-specific upper-class suburban homes? Would you like to see a version of Stephen King’s classic horror novel Carrie in which the titular character is a naive but irrepressibly positive little darling not too dissimilar from an alternate version of Pippi Longstocking who’d been raised by a survivalist cult? Maybe you’d like to hear Lana del Rey inexplicably crooning “fuck me to death, love me ‘til I love myself” over footage of kids going to prom, or watch parents, faculty, and students have the same exchange about bullying and social media half a dozen times. If all of that sounds good to you, Mike Flanagan is here, and he’d like to talk to Carrie White about the Avengers Initiative.

it was important for me to call this out. King, though I love him, has been getting away with nakedly hateful fatphobia for half a century now and the majority of readers seem to have handwaved it, but I can't. (a shout out to @megelison.bsky.social, though, who's been banging this drum for years)

And King has never created a fat character he didn’t insist on treating as a disgusting spectacle. In “Other Worlds Than These,” there’s a particularly insulting episode concerning a family of fat people; King seems to take perverse pleasure in commenting on their “elephantine thighs” and “huge rolls of flesh.” Jack speculates that the family’s front porch “must have been specially reinforced to take the combined weight of such behemoths,” and when the daughter attempts to rape and kill him in his bed that night, she “lands on him like a truck falling off a jack,” breaking the bed frame. I wonder if it has ever occurred to King that fat people read his books, too.

my theory that ive been pushing since 2016 is a lot of mainstream journalists, who are overwhelmingly white, have parents and grandparents who voted for trump. instead of admitting that mom and dad and gramps and meemaw are idiot racists, we've spent the last decade pretending they arent.

This was wild to see. My first time writing for the screen. My thanks to Zoe Kazan for inviting me on this journey back in 2023, and my agent Jason Richman and everyone at @unitedtalentagency.bsky.social for their work on my behalf.

“Written for Television by ZOE KAZAN & ALEXANDER CHEE” in white letters against the black tv screen.

A tv still of Mike Faist, Christopher Abbott and Florence Pugh. White text in a San serif font reads “This East of Eden, adapted primarily by Zoe Kazan-Alexander Chee co-wrote a key midseason episode-with Garth Davis directing, is rich, morally complex and packed with memorable performances."

It’s genuinely remarkable how complete the consensus around anti-Black racism as an unremarkable feature of public and political life has become.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

I just finished my re-read of The Secret History so my question is, what is your ideal fancast? You can pick any actors, living or dead.

Laura Bogart @handle.invalid · 01/10/2026

My controversial take is that the mainstreaming of smutty fanfic as a cute middle aged lady thing has encouraged a lot of really incurious, sexually regressive writing that isn't even hot or romantic.

I'm glad Cornell is reopening the rape case involving young men from a fraternity on their campus... Unfortunately, the administration is a day late and a dollar short, which is better than burying it like colleges and universities are so wont to do.

just saw the restoration of The Devils and it's time to officially amend my theory, there are *four* stories: 1) a man goes on a journey 2) a stranger comes to town 3) big dick richie's dick is too big 4) what do those nuns get up to in there?

She would have liked that. In her youth, she definitely would have been someone who helped people escape Nazi Germany and had a secret role kicking ass with Her Majesty's Secret Service and retired to compliment people's azaleas.

There's a certain sort of abuser who figures out quickly that they can relentlessly attack other generally well-meaning leftist/punk/DIY folks, because they not only won't hit back, they'll think it's their responsibility to keep taking it. Extremely destructive to a community if left unchecked

This is good messaging. Also, "I'm laser-focused on lowering high gas and grocery prices, and giving jobs back to people, not AI, so people can afford to live and take care of their families. But my opponent only seems to care about other people's genitals" could do a lot.

And they only see things in text, aesthetics and mythos -- even when their actual lives are on the line -- only to go on to be grubby and common in the end. Except for Henry, who becomes timeless, but at what cost?

What's your take on The Secret History? I'm currently listening to the audiobook after reading it in paperback years ago (and also, I realized my voice for friend's bulldog is like the one Tartt uses for Bunny).
