“With its second season, the show struggles to find new reserves to plumb and veers off in some crazy directions to do it,” writes @clintworthing.bsky.social about Taylor Sheridan's LANDMAN, which he calls “the dumbest fracking show.”

Season 2 of LANDMAN drills deeper into what makes that show one of the dumbest, most regressive (and perversely fascinating) shows in the Taylor Sheridan catalog. Turn and run, but I won't blame you for peeking at the trainwreck. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Grateful I could go to various red carpets on behalf of @ebertvoices.bsky.social to ask folks, in the spirit of Roger, “What’s a movie that’s been an empathy machine for you?” The teaser shows a snapshot of the fine folks I was able to interview:
Our Social Media Manager, @Zacharylee.bsky.social, attended red carpets at various Fall Film Festivals. In the spirit of Roger’s famous words, he asked actors and directors "Which movies have been empathy machines for you?” Watch the teaser to see the talent he talked to. Who can you spot? 🧵

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Hell yes, suck it repubs, guess virulent racism doesn't work as an election strategy
Breaking News: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker from Queens, will be the 111th mayor of New York. He will be the first Muslim to ever lead the city, as well as its first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century.

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.
