The most impressive thing about Joker: Folie à Deux is that it's the first film in cinematic history to make smoking look uncool.

If you live in LA and are looking for progressive voting recommendations in the form of an unbelievably thorough (and surprisingly fun) read, the Move Left LA voter guide is an amazing resource. I learned more about local politics reading this than years of traditional coverage.

Yes this is a good example of stupid and pervasive AI search engine errors... but it is also something I could easily convince someone actually happened in The Dark Knight. #10ThingsIHateAboutBatman

Reproductive rights are a bellwether for women's rights in general. Women couldn't get a loan or a credit card until a year after Roe v Wade; no fault divorce law gained a majority in the 70s. If you care about equitable personhood as a woman, you prioritize reproductive rights.

Another dead woman. Josseli Barnica was killed by the abortion ban in Texas, denied miscarriage care because her fetus still had a heartbeat. They are killing us. propublica.org/article/jossel…

Woman of the Hour was so tuned into women’s constant needs to defuse and emotionally regulate situations from the banal to the horrific, it blew me away. Can’t wait to see what Kendrick does next.

Veronica Lake's 101st birthday is November 14, and while I doubt we'll hit the goal by then it'd be a helluva present for her. Spread the word and consider donating to get her a memorial cenotaph here in Los Angeles. #tcmparty @TCM gofundme.com/f/veronica-lak…
