It's very fun to date a journalist bc for like two weeks you are forced to watch every TV show, movie or vintage YouTube interview one actor ever did and then you'll never discuss that actor again for like a decade

"If you're not there, then you just won't get it."
2023 marks 30 years since the founders of Milestone Media and their creative cohort changed comics forever with the trailblazing . If you ain't heard of 'em, then have I got a documentary for you...

Mami Wata's the last feature I caught at this year's Sundance — right before it won a special jury award for Lílis Soares' cinematography — and it's one of the most beautiful, artful celebrations of West African folklore I've seen in a long, long time

If Black kids are old enough to experience racism, white kids are old enough to read about it.

everyone should feel a real sense of foreboding after this latest round of media layoffs. it's not just writers that suffer, readers should be extremely wary of capricious bosses who care less about quality and talent and more about their own bottom line.

If I were running a campaign on this, I would obtain every College Board's Nationally Elected Trustee's email and not allow them a moment of peace.
Every last one of them should be forced to go on the record regarding 's decision.

Cowardice. The proper response? Threaten to pull every AP course out of any state that tries to do what is doing in Florida. At least do that. Instead, they succumbed to the book burners. should be ashamed of itself.

All these moves trying to goose subscription numbers, and yet none of the streamers have cracked how to make it easier for people to screenshots and GIFs — both of which function as free advertising 🥴🥴🥴

I got a bunch of internal Slack messages from people at CNET's parent company discussing the AI content, and I'm honestly taken aback by the degree of cynicism on display

So interesting/weird to see fans accusing this of burying its gays *and* wishing that the show stuck closer to the games. "Interesting" in a "my kingdom for more/better media literacy" kinda way

"Long, Long Time" is hands down one of the strongest episodes of the season, but I also think this is true

Whenever Wanda's hyping Lorna up? She's thinking about that green fit

Wanda's costume is green rather than scarlet, and Pietro's costume is blue rather than green on the covers of X-Men #4 and #5 because colorist Stan Goldberg felt their actual costume colors would throw off the balance next to Magneto and Mastermind's (he was right)

Went into Magazine Dreams not fully knowing what it was about, and came out with a new appreciation for Jonathan Majors as a performer whose recent mainstream fame has been so wrapped up in people's fixation on his body.
