Happy to introduce my new @substack newsletter, The SS Ben Hecht: https://t.co/FBkJNGqIY5

If you gave Andy Reid a gun with one bullet and put him in a room with Hitler and Stalin, he’d sign both of them and let Rashee Rice use the gun

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

The Ethan Klein drama not all that interesting to me because I don’t know any of those people, but having to become increasingly pro-Israel to distract your former IDF wife from your adultery would be a pretty good late era Jeff subplot on Curb Your Enthusiasm

[The Day the Joker Cried @theobungler]

I do think people make a lot of excuses for their favorite 60s and 70s rock stars, but there isnt an army of millions that tries to dox you for calling Jimmy Page a pedophile.

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

Wasn't Kanye West's entire presidential campaign engineered by Jared Kushner?

[Acyn @Acyn]

TRUMP In Alaska, I don't think Mary Peltola, after perpetrating such a terrible scheme, should be allowed to run, because this is ELECTION FRAUD. The Democrats cheated! They found a man named Dan Sullivan, put him on the Ballot, then lied to the Court, and said they didn't know anything about it. That's perjury. She shouldn't be allowed to run, and neither should the FAKE Dan Sullivan!

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

Yea, everyone loved Jar Jar

[Billem Dafoe @Billem_DaFoe]

As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time.

That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later.

Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

I don’t blame Panahi, who is a hero, for one minute for not standing up for the regime that has persecuted and imprisoned him

[vanguardism but it looks like sneakers @motelabyss]

kinda funny any time there’s panahi news ostensibly radical ppl wheel out “regime bad“ and forget he was running around calling either for iran’s collapse or for it to give up deterrence in the middle of an existential war w/ the US, Israel & their proxies, some good movies tho!

Why I remain a cancel culture skeptic: way too many people use “cancelled” as a euphemism for “getting frequent bad press, most of which was deserved, but none of which hurt my career”

[Honey | black cinema enthusiast @BlackHoneyVA]

Why does Ivy Wolk think she’s cancelled? She just had work in a Netflix comedy this year! She was just in a Ryan Murphy television show this summer! She’s not cancelled in the slightest, who is telling her she classifies as cancelled?

You guys gotta stop falling for the fake dating stories engagement bait that pits women and men against one another. Check the timelines, they're all full of plausible scenarios that 100% didn't happen.

You know mine are real because they're such nonsense that nobody would make them up. Enjoy my free range locally sourced authentic ridiculous dating stories.

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

Like that long TikTok by the lady complaining that the movie didn't do enough to interrogate Elizabeth Holmes for "white womaning"

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

People keep imagining fake versions of YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING that would have been way, way worse than the movie that exists.

[datkidspags @datkidspags]

You Can See Everything was riveting but it would be fascinating to give a female editor access to the raw footage of the front half to craft an actual sympathetic love story about the family and a mother going to prison.

Would spin people’s heads after Fielders slant. Guaranteed.

This report, still pretty thin, gets no link from "MARCA" https://t.co/S0A7181xhv

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

Absolutely no sourcing for this whatsoever. She's being "eyed to play" Dolly Parton, according to "reports."

[dani 🐾 🩷 @abbabrina_]

oh hell no two magas being eyed to play dolly dolly would not approve of this and also i love hillary but i fear she's not a perfect dolly sabrina carpenter is literally right there like don't piss me off

[Stephen Silver @StephenSilver]

Dolly's manager issued a statement after her death mentioning several projects, including a biopic, but no actresses were mentioned https://t.co/t17MBtjRxE

If the Celtics had any loyalty or morals as a organization they’d give Paul Pierce a front office position with immense decision-making powers

[we teach bottoms to shrink themselves @Chrissssssw]

There is not a single time in Kanye’s entire career that the NFL would’ve trusted him with a live microphone in front of 100 million people lol

[Cartoons Hate Her! @CartoonsHateHer]

I don't know why Nate Silver has to "live down" predicting a 30% chance Trump would win in 2016. Things with 30% likelihood still happen all the time! 30% of the time in fact!

[Zack Stentz @MuseZack]

Shatner and Takei are going to die on the same day (hopefully many years from now) like Jefferson and Adams, aren't they?

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

The Cheesecake Factory stuff is a really good encapsulation of conservative discourse during the Obama era for folks not old enough to have experienced it. Endless whining and mind-loss over something they wouldn’t even notice if someone else said it. Eight years of that!
