The documentary trusts people to be smart enough to tell that she’s deliberately “smol bean”ing herself (unfortunately some viewers did not clear that hurdle). The second half only works if you’ve already caught that she’s exceptionally good at weaponizing paternalism.
the annoying thing about the whole metaphysical “did Elizabeth Holmes knowingly lie or does she understand things differently” discourse is that it is a matter of public record that she just literally faked financial statements, altered documents, etc

Lance to Nathan after he’s been filming w/ Elizabeth Holmes for 16 hours per day:
Lance Oppenheim told me a little about the cognitive dissonance of making YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING with Nathan Fielder

one of the many fascinating things to me about you can see everything is that I keep seeing people try to explain holmes' behaviors and responses as the result of autism when to me it seems so very clear how just flatly manipulative she is

I loved Digger as an exploration of the limits of art to change the world, but I found its climate change messaging dull and obvious. The “you’re all complicit”speech falls apart when you remember he’s only giving it bc he concealed info abt an impending mass casualty event.
It’s wild how quickly the tide has turned on everyone embracing #Digger! here’s my review from Saturday, when most critics were still panning it🪏 "Iñárritu is offering [the audience] not only an experimental, visually stunning, and dazzlingly unexpected work of art—but also a sophisticated level of respect in assuming that they can (and will) come along for the ride”

Like sorry I do think that I am less responsible for climate change than someone who owns an oil rig. Also Riz Ahmed’s character should have known Digger was lying when he talked about the tuna coming from responsible farmers - bluefin tuna live in the OPEN OCEAN.

A "thorough investigation and follow-through from authorities" is a pipe dream, and Matt Murray might have known that if he hadn't laid off the bulk of The Post's international desk.

Jesus. This new SDNY indictment charges a 19-year-old man with plying two college girls with fentanyl, then raping one of them who wound up dying. Currently unclear on which Manhattan college campus this happened.

I suspect the issue lies with giving these kinds of long-winded, confusing answers when someone asks whether the bird is for sale.

let the record reflect that I was Right about this from the JUMP.
having been to the store, this feels likely. They give very mixed messages on whether it’s merchandise or strictly decor. I don’t think they intended to be rude but I do low key suspect they don’t actually want ppl ordering copies of the bird. They really talked up its rarity.

also fwiw this bit about “serious interest” does betray that they’re making some kind of judgment about which customers are worth taking seriously enough to provide a certain service, and for whatever reason they decided that KC wasn’t one of those people.

ugh I know this is a Joke but Italian Americans were massively important to the development of labor unions in the U.S. The largest lynching in U.S. history was of Italian American trade unionists (and their murder was one of the driving forces behind Columbus Day).
The problem with this strategy is that it's hard to swap out Columbus with anyone else, because so few Italian-Americans have actually made positive contributions to this country

Fully support the Kelly Clarkson beef with that store in Brooklyn. People forget celebrities used to log on here and type crazy shit all the time. Also this is the greatest exposure for that store in the world, they’re gonna be fine lol

I converted to Catholicism two weeks ago. Here’s why I think Jesus would’ve supported live streaming executions.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Charlotte Bronte thought Jane Austen was an effete hack like sometimes ya just have an unpopular opinion!!!
Emily Wilson compared Anne Carson to Rupi Kaur. "Be Canadian. Be zany. Be moody. Be relatable. Write about your mother. Write about desire. Write about trauma. Write about loneliness. Write about grief. Write about nature. Write about the body. Invoke universals. Make it mythic. Tell it slant. Do not use rhyme. Do not use meter. Use short lines. Leave a lot of space on the page. Juxtapose your words with quivery line drawings in ink or paint or collage." I have a feeling, Wilson won't be invited to the Nobel ceremony. thenation.com/article/cultur…
