Deeply sad that we all lost the great TAMMIE ROSEN, our remarkable leader who brought such passion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to telling the Sundance Institute story and supporting bold, ground breaking artists!

After Trump Meeting, One Progressive Mayor Questions Mamdani’s Approach https://t.co/NeiDPUeRsp via @NYTimes

we should feel good about this @AOC? seeing @ZohranKMamdani bromance with Trump was strange just after he advocated democrats be killed for sedition. is it all just cosplay? this brand of politics — opaque parlor games — desensitizes us to violent rhetoric. is it worth it?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Guess this didn’t work out the way you thought it would. 🙂

@JordanSchachtel but @JordanSchachtel why are POTUS and VP claiming that Ukraine invaded Russia first when this is - from everything I’ve been able to gather - factually incorrect? Couldn’t this be considered the original point on contention?

I don’t think this was the answer producers were expecting when baseball great Reggie Jackson was asked how “emotional” he felt to be back in Birmingham, Alabama.

I assume he was expected to offer some fond nostalgia.

He told the truth instead.

Give if you can and help make it happen for The Question: Bridging the Divide Part 2 on @indiegogo https://t.co/gDV15ETtEI

[Ben Proudfoot @bgproudfoot]

Why is Delta State's coliseum still named for racist politician Walter Sillers and not basketball superstar Lucy Harris, who made it famous?

I wrote an essay for @nytopinion advocating for Lucy's name to be on the building.

so proud of you @SundanceSatter !! your impact on so many artists has been nothing short of phenomenal.

[Michelle Satter @SundanceSatter]

It was very special to be honored with an Oscar for my ongoing work supporting artists ⁦@sundanceorg⁩! The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award is beyond meaningful. And, lots of fun to be at the Academy Awards last night celebrating all the nominees and our love of cinema.

[Pete Nicks @petenicks]

Proud to support these young voices. Every @bgproudfoot and @krisbowersmusic started as a kid with a dream. Let’s make sure these kids have what they need. A ‘lil somethin’ from you will help them keep the dream alive!

thought provoking piece @shalisemyoung! but isn’t @YahooSports kinda doing the same thing by offering limited stat line for the women’s game (iowa v. nebraska) while the men’s game (wisconsin v. purdue) gets full treatment. just curious!

[Pete Nicks @petenicks]

March 14th! come on by or would be great to see you!! tickets here —> https://t.co/CVcfX8Inht

this is spot on @BarryJenkins. to me ZONE OF INTEREST is the most important film of the year after reflecting on how Glazer handles tone, style, dialogue, acting, sound, frame, and theme. the most meaningful film for me personally this year was ALL OF US STRANGERS.

[Barry Jenkins @BarryJenkins]

Different and equally arresting approaches, but EL CONDE and ZONE OF INTEREST are in communion somehow, both looking into the darkness with VERY different lenses and quite clear eyes. Pablo Larrain does not miss. Jonathan Glazer just… does… not… miss 🙌🏿

[Raymond Ridder @DoubleR_PR]

When a legend like Larry Bird recognizes your incredible accomplishments in the game, that's pretty special, Klay Thompson!
