Shopping a debut comedic novel. Prior words and photos in NYT, Gizmodo, Gawker, Time Out, The Awl. Potty-mouthed anti-fascist.
Haha. Fresh insights into the epic chaos of our fascist regime
Please share your theory: Why did Trump announce beef 🥩and tomato🍅tariff cuts when 99% of US🍅imports and 42% of🥩are from Mexico or Canada and ALREADY DUTY FREE under USMCA? Argentine beef is another 25% import share and ALREADY HAD TARIFFS CUT. So why cut PHANTOM TARIFFS? 1/

I got asked if I want to pitch on (another) major franchise reboot at Paramount. I replied saying that I can't in good conscience work for a guy who is currently sitting down to dinner with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mohammed bin Salman. Maybe I'm my own worst enemy, but... fuck to the no.

Because Guidducci is a vile cockroach that’s why.

If I were one of those guys, and showed up, and it was all guys, I would have left.
The cover of Vanity Fair’s 32nd Hollywood issue is all about men, featuring stars like Jeremy Allen White, ASAP Rocky and Glen Powell. It is the first edition of the magazine that is entirely under the direction of its new editor Mark Guiducci. Why men, now?
Men? In Hollywood? You Don’t Say.

Have to remind people of this every month.

Also, forgot to add Juliette Lewis.

For the millionth time, Juliette Lewis has NOT left Scientology either!

My students tell me that this stuff is no longer going viral on their social media accounts.

With the ceasefire, the "normal" violence just receded into the background again.
Israel just hit the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ain al Hilweh, with missiles.

It’s a dense camp with the presence of many Palestinian factions but also many civilians.

Weird. Saw a post about a Ukrainian soldier this morning holding and feeding a raccoon and I wondered if they can be domesticated
Raccoons Are Showing Early Signs of Domestication. “City-dwelling raccoons seem to be evolving a shorter snout — a telltale feature of our pets and other domesticated animals.” [scientificamerican.com]

Gomez: "Is this an appropriate time to point that the Republicans named children's savings accounts in their one big beautiful bill after Donald Trump, someone connected to one of the most notorious pedophiles in this country, or that the speaker just lied on the floor!"

Happy Cloudflare Outage-mas! It’s one of our favorite holidays over here on Bluesky.

On this day, we should remind you that almost 20% of the internet uses Cloudflare, despite years of reporting covering their platforming of white supremacists.

Maybe it shouldn’t have such a large market share?

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I don’t understand how a guy can be this fucked up.

“Yeah I moved a 17 or 18 yr old into my apartment when I was 51, possibly committed statutory rape, and now that that’s come out I’m going to post memes about it because that’s really smart.”

More math: he was 51 and moved a 17 yr old into his apartment.

Even if she was 18 … the line between Olberman and Epstein is slim to nil.
Rough calculation: scuzzy nuzzy was 17
So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?

Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
