Yeah. My parents are 71, mom a lifelong Democrat, Reform Jewish liberal Zionist and dad a former Rockefeller Repub who drifted Dem during Bush II due to social issues and Iraq. They ARE the Biden constituency and have been saying he should resign due to age for two years now!

I'd be shocked if data came back showing a new desire for Biden to step down is a top down phenomenon. Every relatively normal (non political junkie) Dem I talk to, every one, thinks the debate showed Biden needs to step aside. NY Times coverage is annoying, but the debate created this.

wild Miami Vice-related things happening on Twitter these days

can't believe Landau was only 63, fucking cancer

Producer Jon Landau, James Cameron’s Right-Hand Man on ‘Titanic’ and the ‘Avatar’ Films, Dies at 63www.hollywoodreporter.com In addition to producing three of the highest-grossing movies in history, the problem-solving Oscar winner guided ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ and ‘Dick Tracy’ and was an executive at Fox.

can’t get over how much i loved A Quiet Place: Day One. just beginning to end great movie.

if you're going to argue Biden shouldn't drop out, at least have the decency to stop pretending he's not in an obvious state of age-related decline nothing wrong with that btw, my grandmother's currently going through the same thing, but she's not the President

reminder: if you want replies in your feed to work roughly the same way as Twitter, where you can actually see people’s threads, and mutual’s replies, these are the settings you want

the other great thing clarified here is that the Revue had been negotiating with Mullin for a 5-year lease extension, which i would assume means if they win their case, they might have at least another 5 years of life (not nothing, especially when the landlord is 96)

very happy to hear the temporary injunction against the Revue Cinema's eviction has been extended to October

people in the US know that in most countries, election campaigns only last about 3 or 4 months, right? and that they commonly start on on track and end up going in wild directions, right?

fwiw I think @coreyatad.com take on the ending is spot on: slate.com/culture/2017...

The Florida Project’s Ending Is Divisive, but It’s Perfectslate.com It's a shock, but it's earned.

reminding everyone once again, due to my unfortunate financial situation, i've turned on paid subscriptions all posts up now are free, but in the next few weeks i will start publishing paywalled articles, and any and all help is appreciated

my dream job is critic at Jacobin, because quality doesn't seem to matter there at all, so whatever i deliver will blow everyone's mind

would i work for the Times? yes. because i am broke and they pay. would i write for Quillette? no. because i have a personal vendetta against Jon Kay... but if he paid me enough...

A whole thing of pasta salad in the heaviest bowl you've ever seen on a weak fold out table. The tinfoil half on and a wooden spoon poking out. Penne, lemon, olive oil, red wine vinegar, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, cucumber,kalamata olives, flies buzzing around, feta wilting in the sun

Kendrick is a Heat fan

always funny to see someone refer to an obviously precisely crafted work of art a "mess," as though they don't understand the difference between something being messy and something not ultimately working

if Biden wants to win, he's gotta spread the word about this far and wide for everyone to hear "They wanna take away your Pornhub and your OnlyFans! They don't want you jackin' off! I heard they're coming for xHamster. Come on, man!"
