I'm late to Pluribus but I've seen 6 now and my gosh. Staggeringly well-made, pleasurable television. I'm slightly bewildered by the people who find it slow; I've been mesmerized. Feels like it says something new about the seductiveness of giving in/up and who's cut out for the misery of resistance.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.
Good prison reading!
What I really hate about this is that it's a strain of Democratic Party know-it-all-ism which is going to assert itself with a lot of $$ and a lot of free media in '26 and '28, which is "We could win this whole thing if you freaks would either just act normal or hide." Do not trust those messengers.
I miss the days before covid, when in New York, in Times Square or a crowded subway, you would sometimes see people wearing masks and think, "Why are they wearing those? Oh, right--it's none of my fucking business." Let's get back to that.
Delightfully bonkers that someone decided these two movies would make a good "comedian double feature."
Here's a piece about the trend from a couple of weeks ago. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...
My curmudgeonly thought for the day: We would not need so many "The ending of blahblahblah EXPLAINED" videos if full-length works of narrative fiction were still routinely taught in grades 5-12. If fairly straightforward plotlines are baffling this many people, something has gone seriously wrong.
That frustrating moment when all your deleted Bluesky drafts begin "As I believe I clearly said..."
He couldn't have been more gracious.
I will give you the answer to that but first I must push this baby out of my body.
2) A profile of the playwright David Henry Hwang. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/t... and 3) A Criterion essay on the 1975 neo-noir Night Moves. www.criterion.com/current/post... More to come in 2026 including details about the big gay culture book. Thanks for reading, responding, and engaging!
Most of what I wrote this year was a book. And I can't share that yet. But I did write a handful of stories that I liked, and since this is the week many of us share our year's work, here are three. 1) An essay on Paul Reubens and the painful history of the closet. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/t... >
To me it feels like, in terms of dialogue, he succumbs to the white-Hollywood trope of, for lack of a better term, Indigenous Peoples Kitsch--the blues and greens and reds all speak in earnest declarative statements without contractions or humor and the one really funny line goes to Jemaine Clement.
That is not to say that Cameron did something wrong with the Avatar movies or that they fail at doing what they set out to do; it's only to note that the people who are saying that there's a particular kind of cultural discussion that most franchises generate that Avatar doesn't are not wrong imo.
I sort of get the "Avatar has no cultural impact" argument, because it connects to what Cameron prioritizes in his movies. Going to that movie is like visiting a self-contained world, and people clearly love doing it, but most people couldn't tell you who "Jack Champion" is if you held them hostage.
The US version was on pay cable (and not HBO) and aired pre-social media; it never broke out beyond its small target audience or became a real subject of discussion.
It really is, but I read that novel recently and...maybe we need to let that one go.
