When I interviewed Jeff Hiller a few weeks ago he told me that at one point in his life he was afraid to “come out” as an actor. Today, Jeff snagged an Emmy nomination for his work on HBO’s Somebody, Somewhere. Thank you @boomboomhiller.bsky.social, for being your fullest self, and congratulations!

If I’m being honest, this is maybe my favorite interview this year

Sam Sanders @samsanders.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

One of the stories in the book is full of old logger slang, and @torreypeters.bsky.social says in many ways that language captured the trans experience better than our current discourse

1295

Sam Sanders @samsanders.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Torrey’s novel is truly breathtaking, and it asks us to all reconsider how we define trans, and how we all at times can embody a trans experience. She wants EVERYONE to read this book. And I think everyone should

Sam Sanders @samsanders.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

My chat with @torreypeters.bsky.social is available now wherever you get your YouTubes or podcasts. We discuss her new novel, Stag Dance, and Elon Musk and gender fails and how the trans experience is maybe just an invitation

And the ones they WANT to make movie stars, increasingly I feel like it just doesn’t work

Sam Sanders @samsanders.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Personally, I don’t think the industry is doing enough to value good blockbusters that actually make real movie stars!

Sam Sanders @samsanders.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Why are there no more movie stars? And when did our era of movie stars officially end? 1/3
