kinda like the green brothers with coffee & socks, Newman's own with [everything], I'd just create a cultural product engine that makes cultural products with no profit motive outside of "make more money = make more movies" ... among 1 billion reasons, desiring this is why I'm not a billionaire

Tomorrow’s $5.5 billion default is the beginning of the end for the U.S. Postal Service. It’s time to privatize it.

No it isn’t.

Extraction economy cramming its way into quite literally everything. I have been dreaming of a Kalshi integration with your workplace/Slack app, you know it's coming. Your CEO's AMA now has live odds, the Running Man dystopia is on its way baby

this is also missing that other industries have also had these consolidations, contractions, booms/ busts, etc. In my day-job career outside of writing, I've been laid off 3 times since 2019. Hard to get over that senior hump to management where I'm less likely to get axed, but not woke's fault!

When information changes you can change your mind in response to it. Chomsky is brilliant AND we quite simply do not need to keep him on the roster.

same cadence as my excuses to my parents when I came home from college with bad grades

Slophouse

And protecting us lol

when you've got an ego like a Chait or Sullivan, you can't imagine a world where your status wasn't self-earned and entirely derived of your unique brilliant mind. then you move up/into celebrity, get WAY fewer edits, fewer notes, and your nitwit mind is exposed, because editors were protecting you

Stealing a movie with Mahershala Ali, Rose Byrne, Ryan Gosling, Bruce Greenwood, Ray Liotta, Eva Mendes, and Dane DeHaan. I'm glad he's getting to wear capes and devour entire episodes of Andor and such now, he deserves the world. Thanks for listening.

It is so fluid, embodied, natural, naked, honest, but still unshowy? Someone like Ryan Gosling or Cooper (as is their job) knows how to find the camera, as Tom Hanks describes. They embody the movie's needs first, "reality" second. Mendelsohn genuinely feels like they found this guy at Waffle House.

my face when I see another dingbat riding around in the woods really fast and decide to make them my robbin' friend

At the bar I worked at in Greenpoint for a few years, someone had left behind their PLACE BEYOND THE PINES crew hoodie, which sat in out lost-and-found bin in the basement for years, and now I wish I'd snagged it so I could go door to door spreading the gospel of Ben Mendelsohn's Robin

Leave earlier

The point you make is right and a huge bummer, but worth saying I’m also in the bubble of people who like your work, especially Devil House!

Shit yes, saving to read this afternoon, thank you!

I'd like to see AI do this —

:: runs for a loose ball, slips on some mud next to the court, smashes face on nearby chain-link fence, breaking my nose into 20 new smaller noses and I never breathe the same again::
