Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.

This Jon guy is part of the problem by calling her Instagram account "disturbing". Not really that much different from her IG before the Con ended. But that's been the disappointing thing about the New York Times. They do a huge deep dive into her personal life and then join the chorus of media that didn't learn their lesson from these documentaries: that extreme surveillance of Britney IS part of her problems. Leave her alone. The book was very informative and she did have arcs: she talked a lot about why she feels like child-like throughout her adulthood. It was actually quite insightful. Sorry she told the story how she wanted to instead of what you have been expecting.

Exactly this.

I am grateful for this book, because Britney has never said the majority of these things publicly before. It's all been from other people, or strong conjecture. It's quite incredible that she was able to do it after all this time.

The “review” of Britney’s book was pretty distasteful and rude. She decided to finally speak about what she felt was important to her to and what needed to be cleared. There were hundreds to thousands of different stories from tabloids about her in the 2000s…do you think she was going to speak about the majority of them? Seems a bit unrealistic to expect from someone.

Did we read the same book? Also, how do you read a memoir in under 90 minutes? Surely that means you just skimmed it?

[@alteredsnowplow6720]

They did. I’m a fast reader and it still took me 4-5 hours to get through the book.

[@Pelicola747]

I thought the radio dramatization in Killers felt much more authentic than the one in Asteroid City. Scorsese grew up no doubt listening to radio dramatization programming as a kid and clearly has a deep rooted affection for it from childhood. Anderson’s version feels like a hipster in an antique store picking and choosing styles from the past to fit his cutesy aesthetic. I thought Marty putting himself in the radio scene was really endearing and seemed like an old man fondly recreating happy memories from childhood.

This podcast really gave me the internal fortitude-nay-the courage necessary to overcome the odds and finally tap that “Unsubscribe” button I’ve been looking at all year next to the NYT icon.
Man oh man, it’s been a wild 20 years, NYT. We had some crazy times together (especially during the Bush II years) and you really got me through in my youth, but we’re done. It’s over. I’m finally over you.

Leo’s acting is too nuanced to portray a character with fewer gears. It’s college-ruled paper for a wide-ruled, double-spaced man.
