The Devils shows the kind of deranged version of celebrity culture that can emerge in a walled-in medieval town stricken with plague.
A tease for the return of the greatest wrestling character of all time.
I don’t think that’s why they’re crying. They see she hasn’t learned anything and are watching her trying to do it all again with a new dirtbag partner.

As the Girls leviathan rises from the deep, the old bloggers are attached like barnacles.
In 2017, Jia Tolentino lifted a series of restrictions on her life. She started putting half-and-half in her coffee instead of drinking it black. She started using emoji instead of forcing herself to communicate in words. And, finally, she watched Lena Dunham’s television show “Girls,” which had premièred on HBO 5 years earlier, in 2012.
When “Girls” was on television, some critics lost the ability to distinguish it from real life. Many treated the show as though realism were its ultimate goal. “I don’t need to feel either disturbed by or painfully grateful for seeing women my age rendered in full-blooming imperfection,” Tolentino counters. “Nothing is a direct reflection, other than a mirror: not a friend, not a story, not an auteur, and definitely not a television show.” Read her reflection on “Girls," which Dunham recently announced would see a five-episode revival: newyorker.com/culture/jia-to…

Ambassador Thornhill, welcome to the team. I’m proud to have such a dedicated leader join us as Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. Human trafficking is a grave human rights issue and a transnational crime exploiting men, women, and children for profit. We will continue to go after traffickers, protect survivors, and deliver justice for the American people.

There's this new form of rock music out of Norway called black metal. Very good stuff - Jeff
DIGGER: haven’t seen it, but it’s very funny that hardcore cineastes virtually regarded Iñárritu as the antichrist until he made a movie that bombed spectacularly, now it’s “well, wait a minute…”
God, please somebody sort this out. I don’t know whether to get on my high horse about entitled celebrities or snobby Brooklyn retailers.
Cool, cool. Sure, it wasn’t for sale. That’s the narrative Art of Play is gonna go with 👍 so the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall with the title Singing Bird didn’t happen as you elevator eyed me saying in a condescending tone “yes, it’s for sale but it costs 15,000 dollars so if you’d like me to find something comparable for you I can.” That all never happened and now it’s not for sale. Okay, cool. So you’re not only rude, you’re also a liar. Got it ✅
And by the way, I obviously support small businesses because I was literally at a small business trying to purchase things. I love small businesses and know they are important and I always support them, but you don’t get a free pass to treat people less than in your store just because you are a small business. It’s not that hard to be kind. I never blast people but you my friend were an exception.
Your store is really cool.
Unfortunately, you aren’t.
Namedropping Rogan and Theo Von in your monologue to sound cool makes you sound as lame and insulated as any Silicon Valley VC.
