Years ago, when I still wrote for SPIN, the great @danielkohn.bsky.social let me write about "A Long December", so of course I wrote a little about death and sadness and choosing to believe things can get better.

This season of The Morning Show honestly rocked. Cory Ellison’s arc paid off emotionally AND logically! There was hot sex and cold betrayal, opera, AI and gulags. Campy and cynical but also finger-wagging and earnest, like The Newsroom making out with Scandal

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Incredible to watch MAGA influencers lecture us for calling Trump a fascist when he literally fired a U.S. Attorney for not prosecuting his political enemies. That’s the literal definition of fascism.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns
“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

Sad news for theater fans: Richard Greenberg, whose plays were so funny, cutting, and elegantly structured, has died at 67. He was best known for Take Me Out, but so much from him is worth revisiting. He was one of those gay writers who viewed wit as a holy mission. He was more than up to the task.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

Trump's inability to understand even in an elementary way the basics of our culture, high or low, is always amazing. Here's a mini-thread of classic moments:
(1) From last night, he couldn't bring himself to say whether he identified with the protagonist or antagonist of Les Misérables.

The inability to grasp the moral meaning of a famously unsubtle work of art—
—and the suggestion that he might identify more with Javert, the inflexible obsessive lawman ultimately unable to live with himself after what he sees—
—make this a perfect Trumpian moment of ignorance and immorality.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
