Hey, YO, Coronavirus! I was already kinda in the middle of an existential crisis before you showed up, so if you could just, like, STEP OFF for a sec-

“Unprofitable fandom” tells you everything you need to know about the media landscape right now. My teeth are ground to dust.

I don’t know why, but after watching Oppenheimer I had a strong craving for my mom’s home-cooked soup, anyone else experience this???

They won an agreement that doesn’t require A SINGLE CONCESSION.

So happy for my Teamsters siblings. You deserve this, you fought for it and you won.

WGA/SAG: hold the line. Stay strong. We will win too. 💪🏽

at the moment, I think the most embarrassing thing I’m willing to admit is that I’m actually really excited for that new Ninja Turtles movie. Looks FUN!

Why would Elon Musk destroy billions in brand value just to rename Twitter to X?

Because the whole point, from the very beginning, has been to erase the old Twitter and everything it stood for.

@vornietom that’s what Pete Davidson is for. Looks like a line cook, but doesn’t smell like one (more likely smells like weed)

Ruth Handler vs. J. Robert Oppenheimer ERB when?

[shmil @DilShmil]

There’s this lingering shot on the trucks loaded up with crates as they’re pulling away from Los Alamos with Oppenheimer staring at them, knowing where they’re going, knowing he’s handed over the vast power and there’s nothing he can do. This is the start of a brilliant act 3.

The film doesn't make sense without the hearings. Oppy had placed himself at the center of this narrative. It was about HIS act of creation, this thing HE was building. The turn comes when he realizes he was a cog, working within a (corrupt) system. https://t.co/5fKxN3AKEZ

Beau is Afraid. Screen cuts out after a holding shot of his mothers face. The lights come up. I think “wow, clever an intermission, don’t see that much anymore.” Usher comes in, tells us there’s a gas leak and we need to evacuate. Not convinced i’m not still in the movie.

what's the most memorable theatrical experience you've had so far this year?

When I first saw the new KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON trailer I was caught off guard by the tonal shift from the first trailer but then I saw it again in front of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE in IMAX and I said “oh nvm this is actually the greatest trailer ever made” https://t.co/P6kEdxAh8N

Ursula K Le Guin’s first novel came out when she was 36; her last, when she was 79.
