Julia Louise Dreyfus starred in one of the least “politically correct” shows in recent memory, Veep.
The thing was, the people that had the most to lose were not the punchline, it was the people in power that were the joke. They may have made fun of everyone else, but the laugh
Julia Louis-Dreyfus addresses Jerry Seinfeld’s comments about how political correctness is ruining comedy:
“I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness - and I understand why people might push back on it - but to me that's a red flag, because it sometimes means something else. I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don't know how else to say it.”

I’m so glad Zone of Interest won this sound Oscar. Can’t remember a movie that gets more out of its sound. It’s horrifyingly effective.

that's right. i believe in
- fair wages so you can afford cool clothes
- right to housing, so you can store those clothes
- universal healthcare so you can be healthy and go outside
- dense, mixed-use development so you can wear your nice little outfits while walking outside

I'm offering bluesky codes to trans users of Twitter to get the heck out of this dump (or at least have another place to be instead of locked in here). DM me if you want an invite code.

Charlottesville locals: 9pm this Saturday 10/21
ALT Photograph of a pleasant row of three camping tents in a green park. At the top, large text says “PACK THE PARK! MARKET STREET PARK 10/21 @ 9PM.” At the bottom, smaller text says “Police plan to evict community members from Market Street Park. Show up to support the call for Housing, Not Criminalization!”
Christine Bryant-Ryback retweeted
it's not too late to write to the city to urge them to reconsider tonight's sweep of market street park. mass arrests won't solve the housing crisis.
those living in the park & community members who oppose the criminalization of homelessness have put together a guide for contacting the city
