Absolutely losing my mind at PART TIME job applications asking for:
- 15 minute interview
- 90 minute resume review(?)
- Live past employer verification
- Live reference check in which *you* have to set up the calls (??)
- THEN "paid task trials"

$20/hour. some of you guys are nuts.

Edward Berger missing director, The Brutalist being nearly four hours long... I have a hard time seeing anything but Emilia Perez winning BP right now.

CHALLENGERS going for zero (esp. score!) is such a bummer. I'd have given Justin Kuritzkes the screenplay win too.

A good thinkpiece would be to interview healthcare executives and ask them how it feels to know most Americans would love to see them die

"Not only are there not enough movies bringing people in, but they’re often not in theaters long enough for people to discover them. That all cuts into the potential profit margins for theaters, which are still struggling to bring in crowds."
The casual moviegoer is a thing of the past. That's a big problem for Hollywood
Gone are the days where prospective moviegoers would roll up to the theaters and gawk at the board for their next watch. Theaters are trying to make up that business in other ways.

Did I fuck up the turkey this year? Yes. Did something inexplicable happen to the apple pie where the sauce refused to thicken? Sure thing

But I did not go on a Turkey Trot and never will, and I’ll carry that pride to my cold fucking grave

One of the most challenging parts of getting older (in my perspective) is how easily friendships fizzle out, the difficulty in rekindling them, and the hard realization others aren't interested in doing it. Call it digital divide or ego-centrism but goodness me, it's been tough.

I have to be honest, I am genuinely *shocked* how positive the feedback is for something that has CW level quality. This looks like you pulled in costumes and props from a Halloween store.

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict
