Two thumbs up. Olivia Wilde whiffed so badly with Don’t Worry Darling but man what a comeback. The Invite is hysterical.

@jaimeharrison.bsky.social I say this as someone who voted for you multiple times in SC — this is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever read and you should be embarrassed to be believing & saying things like this. You and the establishment cronies you protect are leeches.

Jamie Harrison, a South Carolinian who served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during Joseph R. Biden Jr's presidency, questioned those who were explicitly talking about taking down the party establishment.
"What is the establishment?" he said. "Tell me what you mean when you say that. In South Carolina, that is Black voters. If I drill down even more, it's Black women, and if I drill down even more, that's older Black women."
Mr. Harrison cautioned about transporting the meaning of contests in America's largest city to races elsewhere in America, where electorates tend to care about different sets of issues and be far less diverse.
"Races in New York are really important, but New York is not America," Mr. Harrison said. "We should be careful of treating primaries in a blue state in a blue city emblematic of what the Democratic Party is as a whole."

Yeah man, Talarico is going to win Texas by… calling Arch Manning a nepo baby on 102.7?

The Senate candidate James Talarico doesn't need to run away from his meatless-taco order. Instead, he could prove that he's a regular guy by calling into ESPN Austin to accuse the University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning of being a nepo baby who got millions of dollars just for his name. Or

I’m not sure I Love Boosters came together or fully works as a feature film, but we need more delightfully weird art that is pro-union and workers rights, anti-capitalism and algorithms, and Marxist at its core. Fun, downright bizarre time at the movies — the Boots Riley experience.

Is God Is — holy shit. Go. Grindhouse revenge thriller full of righteous feminine rage at the violence perpetrated against Black women — often by Black men. Killer soundtrack & visuals, the exact right mix of gore & humor, a terrifyingly villainous Sterling K. Brown & Janelle Monáe on a HEATER.

The average voter, man. “Idk who I voted for” and “I want the candidate who improves education but the issue that motivates me most is I’m against a cell phone ban in schools.” Christ.

I love Mississippi with my whole heart, but I cannot in good conscience imagine writing and believing these two paragraphs:

While the Supreme Court ruling left a lot for the lower courts to interpret, and no doubt the litigation will ensue based on the high court ruling, it seems logical to assume that it would be difficult to deny one of four districts from being majority-Black in Mississippi where African Americans comprise well over one-third of the population.

In the Jim Crow days, Missisisppi politicians neglected such mathematical logic. But surely it is a new day in Mississippi - at least that is what we like to
say.

Literal video and a quote from Sarah Strong herself — she ripped her own jersey. ESPN’s Kareem Copeland, auditioning for the NYT — who could say? Still unclear if I can blame this on South Carolina but going to leave it open.

UConn star Sarah Strong had to change into a No.
55 jersey after her No. 21 was torn, and Auriemma questioned how there wasn't a single foul called against South Carolina in the third quarter. One angle of a video showed Strong ripping her own jersey, but it was unclear whether it was initially torn in any way. She called it an accident.

Just a concerned youth who goes on political rants so often it got included on his wedding website story.

Since dating, Julie has exercised extreme patience in dealing with Cass's silly antics, weird tendencies, and random stream of consciousness rants. Cass often says that Julie is the most Christlike, beautiful, loving, thoughtful, and considerate person he has ever met. She sanctifies him every single day. Cass and Julie love nothing more than to spend time with each other.

I’ve never had any of the qualms about Michael B. Jordan’s acting that Wesley has, but man this is so good. Had me tearing up over coffee. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/m...

WE ROOT FOR JORDAN as though he's the best team never to enter the postseason. Now he's here, in the finals, and there's real excitement that he could go all the way. There's been a meaningful gap between our passion for him as a man (the earnest goodness he radiates, the uproarious randiness he induces) and our belief in his acting. Thus, the euphoric shock at the SAG Awards.

This brings me to the other instantaneously memorable image from Jordan's win. It was of Viola Davis, after she opens the envelope, sees Jordan's name and proceeds to bellow it with all the frank force, emotional power and electric shock of a revelation, of a dream come true. She felt free to love what she saw on that card, to prefer this outcome.

Davis's disbelief in that moment was also her belief.
In him. Why didn't that feel like way too much? Would you look at the world?

For an answer, I'd return to that fight in "Black Panther" in which Boseman's character triumphs over Jordan's. Jordan is supposed to be that movie's bad guy. And it feels terrible to see him lose. It hurts, almost, because of those intangibles that make a star a star. Jordan's got 'em. However flat or too fast or too
locked inside himself he can seem, you love him, his cool, his warmth.

Yes, that's it: You love the innocence in his face, its innocent roundness, the goodness of character that shoots right out of his rich brown eyes. It's not his acting that we keep showing up to see and rooting for.
It's not his chops. It's what we need to feel everywhere, all the time, especially now. It's heart.
And Michael B. Jordan is all heart.
