For Manhattan residents: Perhaps, like me, you just got a particularly ugly mailer about Congressional candidate Alex Bores and Palantir, essentially accusing him of being a sexual harasser. Fine print: The mailer was paid for by "ThinkBigPAC," a superPAC that's funding pro-AI Democratic candidates.

That doesn't make it easier, though. The people I know who still work in their mid-80s feel they will die if they stop. It's a rough thing psychologically.
I know so many journalists who have, at one point or another, said to themselves, "I can keep doing my own job with integrity despite the misdeeds of the company I work for." And sometimes it's true. But you have to be tough-minded enough to know when it becomes a lie.

Pelley: "New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story...The collapse of values at the top has become untenable...I pray for a day when sanity, competence, and courage return."
Scott Pelley has provided @status.news a statement blasting current CBS News management and even accusing them of having tried (and failed) to "inject falsehoods and bias" into his stories. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...
As far as I can tell, there are now just three correspondents left on 60 Minutes (down from seven). The best-known of them, Lesley Stahl, is 84. If I were she, I might consider ending my time there with an act of principle rather than with an accommodation to a corrupt regime.
Scott Pelley will be fine. And now everyone in journalism knows exactly who, and what, Nick Bilton is. I don't really believe many of these people will ever face what they deserve, but I deeply believe in the next best thing: Long memories.
You....might be surprised.

"They’re going to have to fire him. No amount of HR speak will have him retract what he said," one CBS staffer just told me, adding: "For an anti-woke crusader, this is pretty woke of [Bari] to accuse Pelley of after firing the entire leadership of his show and two correspondent colleagues."
Pride, folks, pride! Adam, Angela and I team up to pick the 11 best gay movies of the '90s, ranked. It's a measure of the quality we had to choose from that I could give you a different and very credible 11 (and I'll do that here in a few days). Meanwhile, enjoy this long, fun, wild conversation.
Oh. Oh my God.
Just reiterating that Trump suing the IRS in order to extract a deal essentially protecting him and his family from ever having to pay taxes again is the kind of thing that should send many people to prison. People swing from lampposts for that kind of corruption. It cannot be allowed to stand.
Orrrrrr....maybe we just take joy in other things. Listen, nobody's stopping you from having the great time you clearly hope to have, so go to it!
Maybe it'll be a huge hit and I'll eat my words (I've been wrong a lot!), but if the Sunday box office stories contain phrases like "surprising underperformance," it will be worth asking a couple of questions: Who exactly was this for, and what was supposed to make them leave their houses to see it?
When I talk about big-studio dead-end thinking, this is what I mean: Masters of the Universe trades entirely on presumed nostalgia for a bit of 1980s debris that has been monetized so relentlessly over decades that nobody's had the chance to miss it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Agree 100%. I think one difference, though, is that I'm not sure that Kane Parsons would even be interested in a visit to the Criterion Closet. I hope he would. I want to get him interested!
I'm not posting this in some fit of "Oh god, if this is the future of filmmaking we're all doomed" esthetic despair. It's more enthrallment. I'm looking at someone who does the thing I've spent my life writing about and loving, but shares no language about it with me. It's fearful and humbling.
He doesn't know movies and doesn't care about them much. He gazes at rolling green fields--real ones--and thinks they look like a screen saver, but also knows they're there bc some rich guy wants them to be, and that data centers are in the near distance. His allegiances: YouTube, games, Mr. Robot.>
This profile of Backrooms director Kane Parsons, 20, by @kylebuchanan.bsky.social is fascinating. In some ways it's the story of so many filmmaking prodigies (Scorsese)--an indoor kid w/ a physical issue & tech mastery. But his references and politics are pure 2026. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/m...
Happy Pride month to all of us. Maybe we can all be a little louder than usual this June--and a little kinder to one another.
It takes strength to look the person who could fire you in the eye and tell them that both they and their boss are giant pieces of trash. You usually don't win, but you definitely leave a mark, and you write your place in history. That's what Scott Pelley did today.
Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down!
"You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock."
