Julia Louise Dreyfus starred in one of the least “politically correct” shows in recent memory, Veep.
The thing was, the people that had the most to lose were not the punchline, it was the people in power that were the joke. They may have made fun of everyone else, but the laugh
Julia Louis-Dreyfus addresses Jerry Seinfeld’s comments about how political correctness is ruining comedy:
“I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness - and I understand why people might push back on it - but to me that's a red flag, because it sometimes means something else. I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don't know how else to say it.”

(I hate linking to Reddit but) - Especially in this dire job market, you or people you know might be taken in by similar job scams - one of the most tech-savvy people I know just was. Look out for your friends and family.

Still thinking about all of I Saw the TV Glow from seeing it tonight and I won’t spoil it with big thoughts about the story arc or ending but I was also hit hard in the tiniest ways by the Fruitopia drink machine and a pouch of dust hitting a fire, 15/10 @sapphicspielbrg

Still occasionally thinking about this imagery 8hrs later and cackling
If you’re not a horror person but can deal with slightly darker sci-fi, you should give Coherence a try! I love introducing people to that movie.

Just finished smoking a smol pork shoulder using lump charcoal for heat and a big chunk of wet ash wood from our backyard tree for flavor. Not sure I ever want to smoke with another wood again - it's so nutty/fruity while still letting the dry rub shine, fantastic subtle flavor
Important PSA follow-up: if you don't have ash wood in your very own *personal* backyard, please learn about the ash borer beetle and the very high risks around ash firewood, as the wood could inadvertently distribute the bugs that are trying to kill all the tasty ash trees
I just naively considered posting something on LinkedIn and a popup on desktop web looked EXACTLY like tweeting, nope nope nope nope

I’m so glad Zone of Interest won this sound Oscar. Can’t remember a movie that gets more out of its sound. It’s horrifyingly effective.

- fair wages so you can afford cool clothes
- right to housing, so you can store those clothes
- universal healthcare so you can be healthy and go outside
- dense, mixed-use development so you can wear your nice little outfits while walking outside

Me the first time I heard “macabre” out loud - I took a lot of years of French classes to come to terms with that one
