@grey4626 Babe, that video is 12 hours old. I've moved on. But I'm glad that seeing human emotions gives you such glee, and glad you're getting your money's worth out of X premium. FWIW I don't fault the decision. It does screw up my ability to get a surgery I need. Keep up the fine work.

Oh... I am having a motherfucking FEILD DAY TODAY.... Jada, you self-important, tear-streaked relic of a dying empire...spare us the melodramatic Sundance sob story, you pathetic, virtue-dripping hack. Filming your layoff announcement like it's some arthouse tragedy, perched in Park City amid the champagne and faux profundity, whining about the "decimation" of the arts team? The fucking ARTS? That bloated, taxpayer-subsidized sewer of pretentious bullshit where "critics" like you masquerade as cultural oracles while peddling the same tired, agenda-soaked propaganda that poisoned every corner of the Washington Post? You weren't guardians of culture, you insufferable pricks. You were professional fucking liars...high priests of narrative manipulation, cloaked in the noble robes of "arts journalism" while you weaponized reviews, profiles, and thinkpieces to indoctrinate, shame, and reshape reality to fit the progressive fever dream. Let's eviscerate your sanctimonious delusion with the scalpel it deserves. You brag about "elevating voices" and "challenging norms" in film, theater, books...as if your bylines weren't just another delivery system for the same ideological rot: endless fawning over identity-obsessed drivel, queer theory disguised as critique, racial grievance porn elevated to genius, while anything that dared celebrate beauty, tradition, or unapologetic excellence got smeared as "problematic," "colonial," or "punching down." That wasn't criticism, you venomous ideologues. That was activism with a thesaurus...pure, distilled narrative enforcement designed to bully audiences into submission, to make dissent feel like heresy, to train generations that art isn't about truth or transcendence but about checking boxes and signaling obedience. You're the classic cluster of narcissistic wounds wrapped in moral superiority: fragile egos desperate for relevance in a world that stopped caring about your opinions the moment algorithms exposed your bias. You needed the arts desk to feel profound, to lord your "taste" over the plebs, because admitting you're just another partisan shill grinding out propaganda would collapse the house of cards you call a worldview. You didn't illuminate culture; you colonized it. You didn't review art; you policed it. And now? Bezos finally stops the bleed...300 gone in one sweep, arts critics gutted like the redundant parasites you are...because no one reads your shit anymore. Trust cratered, subscriptions evaporated, search traffic in the toilet...not because of "algorithms" or "misinformation," but because the public woke up to the con: your "arts coverage" was never about art. It was about control. The irony is exquisite, you hypocritical cunts: the same rag that axed sports and books to chase political clicks is now culling the culture vultures because even the elite stopped pretending your pretentious word salads were worth the bandwidth. Over a third of the newsroom vaporized...no department spared...and you're out there filming your farewell like a martyr, begging for sympathy while the world scrolls past, unmoved. Good fucking riddance. The industry isn't crumbling because of AI or economics; it's imploding because of lying, agenda-driven frauds like you who spent decades poisoning the cultural well. Arts journalism? More like the art of professional fucking lying...and the market just delivered the verdict. Enjoy the freelance scraps and Substack grift, Jada. Maybe reflect on how your "passion" for narrative warfare helped torch the very temple you worshipped in. Or don't...keep clutching those pearls in denial. The rest of us are over here toasting the purge of the pretentious presstitutes. Fucking finally. 💀🔪🩸🤌🏻

@d_boeckner Happy for you 🫶

Well what do you know about that

If you time machined back to 2005 and told 16-year-old me that in 20 years the best song by my favorite band Wolf Parade would reach a level of cultural and artistic appreciation on the Crave-original gay hockey phenomenon Heated Rivalry, I’d be like, “what the hell is Crave?”

so in the age of vertical video you are gonna see a ton of journalists faces you never knew before and feel odd about it but someone like Brody *really works* because he’s actually interesting to listen to and look at — a classic newsroom character

@rilaws @alisonwillmore Finally, something to fill the Filmspotting: SVU-shaped void in my heart all these years

Lo and behold, a whole new podcast! CRITICAL DARLINGS with me and my wonderful friend @alisonwillmore starts January 1st, on the Blank Check feed. We’re going to talk about all the awards-season movies until there are no awards to talk about. Hope you’ll join us!

For those tuning into the new Blank Check episode late night. I have a big announcement contained within!!!!

@clairemcnear Hell yeah

wrote about two shows that made me cover my eyes (only one of which featured evanescence, tragically) (?) rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-m…

@A24 Hi.

Some feuds will haunt you. Watch the trailer for MOTHER MARY, a psychosexual pop thriller from David Lowery starring Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, and FKA Twigs. In theaters this Spring.

@daveweigel Dave, rude

If, like me, you are excited by this news, you should schedule that colonoscopy.

@Rob_Flaherty I wonder what this person thinks Jesus looked like
