The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Same here. She was who I wanted to be when I was 17. RIP
I swear that 3/4 of the reason I live in NYC as an adult is Annie Hall. I had the poster on my wall. I saw Reds in the theater probably 5 times the year it came out and owned the soundtrack. Diane Keaton was my dream alter ego as a teen.
Oh man, I loved Diane Keaton— Annie Hall had such a huge influence on me as a teen, everything about her style & her energy, the clothes she wore & the way she talked! She just felt like such a model of New York City intellectual life, jittery & adventurous & original

So sad to learn of this. A role model for so many of us since the 1970s. 💖
The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

I pretty much don’t care about the Kerouac fragment, but what the heck was Paul Castellano doing with it? There’s a Tarantino movie in this …

That’s so great! One of my favorite books of the last I don’t know how many years. If you haven’t read it yet, do so now. Perfect for the run-up to Halloween.

Set in 1915, @danchaon.bsky.social's spellbinding new novel, "One of Us," explores American marginalization and violence via telepathic twins in a traveling circus. Just out from @henryholtbooks.bsky.social. Here's my rave review for @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/b...

“Do you guys not hear the words coming out of his mouth? How can anyone not know he is deeply unwell?”
“LOL. What a sad mess”
“A proper nutter”
“I’m embarrassed for you. Hang in there”

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:
“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

EXCLUSIVE: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents, who were posing as business executives, win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

Thanks to everyone who canceled their Disney Plus subscriptions we’ve had over 50,000 people confirm they’ve canceled!

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.
A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

I would join just to cancel.
I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today.
I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.
