Perry claimed in his memoir that he used to beat up Trudeau in elementary school so “I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play” has a sinister ring to it
Matthew Perry’s passing is shocking and saddening. I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved – and you will be missed.

My mom got covid at the hospital following open heart surgery, on a floor in a monthlong outbreak, and they simply discharged her rather than deal with it. She quickly got worse at home and had to go back to the ICU within a week to have fluid drained from her lungs
Promoting the safety of people at higher risk from COVID in essential healthcare settings is not only desirable. It is required if institutions truly support equitable, accessible care that promotes health.

I find it funny seeing infectious diseases doctors recommending dropping mask requirements for nurses to media as a way of relieving their burnout. Other more traditional ways of reducing burnout for nurses include: paid sick leave, wage increases, more resources

This is a very old, conventional story you’re telling, which disabled and chronically ill people will instantly recognize, and it has real world ramifications for a lot of vulnerable people. Your glib framing sucks. Please think about what you’re doing.

This take was not even 3 days ago — feels like 6 months
The Coen brothers should never have introduced Fargo as a 'true story'. Childish, meaningless pranksterism encourages more childish, meaningless pranksterism and now we have four Fargo TV seasons that repeat the same lie, misleading people for no reason.

Having rewatched TFA and TLJ, feel sad for Oscar Isaac, who started out playing Poe as a generous, loving person who sees the best in every man he meets and wants to have sex with him, and who ends up asking a woman in a helmet “Would you like to have a kiss like old times?”

Counterpoint: CODA only really exists and is only being seen because of awards races
What we’re watching happen in real time is how the awards race can distort public perception of a film.
CODA is a phenomenal movie! And it’s been a beloved indie hit ever since it came out.
Now that it has a shot at winning Best Picture, people start to turn on it.
Wild.
