Senate Democrats had the power to do one thing: This shutdown. And this is what they did with it. Maybe this is some brilliant political calculus, in which case I'll happily eat my words. But right now, it feels like the beginning of the end of the party in its current form--and by its own hand.

Stunned by Die My Love! Its delicate tonal balance won’t work for everyone but it’s raw, uncompromising filmmaking that gets at hard truths. Jennifer Lawrence is primal, hilarious, and devastating sometimes all within the same scene.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Let's all whisper together, class:
Mary Reillyyy...
Had a super fun time with @shhhitsgavin.bsky.social diving into this dreadful horror drama, discussing Julia Roberts being wildly miscast, how the film tends to pull its punches, Glenn enlivening the film whenever she shows up, and so much more!

They’ll insist this is a
one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else.
They’re wrong.
New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.
If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

RIP Diane Ladd! Such a dynamic performer, jumping between warm mama bears and earnest, fragile women with that dose of theatricality I always loved. These images will stick with me forever!

Nia DaCosta's Hedda: For those of us who wish more modern films were like Dangerous Liaisons (complimentary!). Tessa Thompson and Nina Hoss are magnificent.

New idea:
Daisy Edgar-Jones, Emilia Jones, and Felicity Jones in a film called Keeping Up with the Joneses. It’s very confusing and it turns out they’re all playing the same character.

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Emilia Jones to star in ‘BAD BRIDGETS’ from acclaimed ‘Kneecap’ director Rich Peppiatt.
The story follows a woman on a perilous journey from famine-ravaged Ireland to 19th century New York, joining the ranks of Irish so-called “Bridgets” creating mayhem in the city.

We're at the point of the season where "one of the best performances of the year/their career" raves are so commonplace that they've truly become meaningless.
