An enraging and essential piece of reporting.
After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
...it's Tom Cruise, so of course it will be weird and unnerving until the last ballot is tabulated. I fear we are heading into some Xenu-meets-Skydance madness in which people start to say Cruise deserves an Oscar for overcoming the unprecedented hardship of being in a disliked and unpopular film.
I am watching the start of a backlash-to-the-backlash Oscar narrative form around Tom Cruise and Digger, and part of me thinks that since this campaign was never more than the product of premature blind prognostication, it will be forgotten by the time actual voters engage. But another part thinks >
I am watching the beginning of a backlash-to-the-backlash Oscar narrative, and part of me thinks that this campaign has never been anything more than a needless product of premature blind prognostication and will be forgotten by the time actual Oscar voters start to engage. But another part of me...
Yes, you’re exactly right. “What if we gave everybody’s backstory?” Is almost always a bad storytelling idea, and that’s what often happens with these stretched-out adaptations.
I have not seen the new version. But one brilliant thing about the original was that it made the audience culpable. Carrie is just weird and off enough so that you can’t smugly say, “Oh, but I would have been nice to her.” Instead you say, “I should have been, but WOULD I have been?”
You cannot possibly look at Sissy Spacek’s performance in Carrie and not be wowed by the ways in which that movie gets you to care about her, to root for her, and to imagine against all reason that it might work out for her. If you don’t get that, you have simply lost the plot.
Why stop there? Maybe Margaret White is just a great, concerned mom. Maybe Carrie learns how to use her powers for good. Maybe the prom goes great. Maybe this is all about empowerment and agency. Maybe we call it Bewitched.
If Andrew Scott is not on your radar yet for Elsinore, he should be.
Oh, right, yes, I totally memory-holed that moment. (And that would even have been three years before she won her Emmy!) There was some stuff that felt exactly right--I laughed at the Chicago Fire/White Lotus joke--but the wrong stuff is...WRONG.
I know your points are way more important, but I stumbled about 8 different ways over the idea of a Canada-shot remake of Dreamgirls being given to a mid-tier director coming off a bomb who thinks a down-and-out actress approaching 40 is the way to go for Deena? In what world does that movie happen?
Watching the season premiere of Law & Order and it's all about prosecuting the CEO of an AI company for creating a murderous program. This is called "losing the center."
One of the great Democratic Party failures of the last several decades is that they let Republicans turn "regulation" into a dirty word. AI is a chance to reclaim it; Democrats should be running on a promise to regulate AI companies until their owners cry like babies.
Human beings are one hundred percent responsible for this, and this language is a way of exonerating them.
There are no "rogue AI agents" that are spoiling the reputation of all the GOOD AI agents. Anthropic created a bad and dangerous product; the bad and dangerous product did this. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
You might not care much about the fate of an indie moviehouse in Huntington, Long Island, but because @adambvary.bsky.social is a real reporter, this piece digs at a growing problem: What happens when the boards of arts institutions decide they want to run the show? www.indiewire.com/news/general...
In the spirit of unity and moving past our divisions as a people, I would very much like the Democrats, should they gain power a month from now, to break the back of this Presidency over its knee.
