Karoline Leavitt picked the wrong movie to hide behind. There were no apes in The Lion King.

just so depressing

The regime is going to court to overrule a judge’s order to release 5 year old Liam Ramos from custody. They’re spending tax dollars fighting to lock up a child Arguing to send him back to a camp where children scream “let us out”. A camp with a measles outbreak. Monsters.

okay, now I'm mad

Armond on MELANIA, at last

I am outraged by the despicable, cowardly attacks against Muslim New Yorkers in Bay Ridge last week—one of which was on a 12-year-old girl. This violence is unacceptable, and we know that all too often visibly Muslim, hijab-wearing women and girls bear the brunt of it.    Muslim

My colleague Marty Weil is one of The Post’s last living ties to Watergate. He’s covered stories that range from local crime to the Sept. 11 attacks to whimsical weather musings. After 60 years, he was laid off yesterday by email.

Much fun "at" @sundancefest (at home, online) thanks to two great films that premièred there, Rafael Manuel's Filipiñana and Kogonada's zi; delighted to have seen them, even more so to keep them in mind afterward: https://t.co/oqPxAgHL6p

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

New analysis reveals New York City just had its safest January on record. Homicides plunged 60 percent, and shooting incidents dropped by 20 percent compared to January 2025.

As the Post's current owner Jeff Bezos remains silent on the paper's sweeping layoffs today, its former owner @dongrahamdc1 is reaching out directly to employees who were cut to offer a reference and to flag jobs

Kristen Stewart has purchased the historic Highland Theater in Los Angeles and will be reopening it as a movie theater!!!

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here.

A couple of terrific interviews in February @cahierscinema—with Ronald Bronstein, by Charlotte Garson ("I'm convinced that, when you zoom in enough on a single person, you break through the ceiling of specificity and emerge on the ground of universality") and Kelly Reichardt,

We live in a world where a convicted child rapist & sex trafficker is treated better in custody than the immigrant children ICE has kidnapped Ghislaine Maxwell is in a cushy minimum security facility while Liam Ramos’s health declines due to the atrocious conditions of ICE camps

What an honor it was to be spoofed by Catherine O’Hara. What an unfathomable loss. We love you, Catherine. Comedy won’t be the same without her. Sending love to Catherine’s family, friends, castmates, and fans today. Truly beloved.

I don't think there's a more perfectly cast film than After Hours. Every kooky side character a complex world unto herself; every performance charged with surprises and alarming turns.

Only one Catherine O'Hara, and now none. Heartbreaking.

Call yourself a cinema and you’re only showing one film, deary me
