I literally organized convoys of essential supplies by bicycle after hurricane Sandy in NYC, and in 25 years here cannot remember so much constant flash flooding and daily thunderstorms. This is a movie theater in Brooklyn today. We’re long past a tipping point. Our ship is capsizing.

BrooklynVegan, Alt Press, et al being unceremoniously shut down by a company owned by the guys from Good Charlotte that’s also owned by Live Nation is a plot that would happen in a direct to video sequel to Richie Rich.

At first I was like ‘why can’t Americans make straight up romantic movies why do they always have to have a goddamn high concept gimmick’ but this has got to the most inadvertently relevant movie of our times?

Why in the green fuck did the NYTimes give an oligarch’s failson an op-ed to write propaganda & falsehoods justifying how he’s massacred CBS News?? At least the WaPo had to be bought out by Bezos before they became a mouthpiece for this kind of bullshit. deadline.com/2026/08/davi...

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

Been offline so none of you had to suffer thru my annual Tour de France posts so summarizing now the real story this year was no one could outrace global warming. Shortened stages, wildfires, & adaptations for rider physiology so extreme it’s like overheat doping. www.nytimes.com/athletic/743...

Thought we had really really moved on to try and work for a better tomorrow but didn’t know how brutally triggering it would be to hear wizened hysterical boomers shrieking the word ivermectin again.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

I wrote a whole book about this! And it wasn’t hard to find people to include; it was hard to narrow the list down from *OVER A HUNDRED* early gamedevs

many of the early and most successful game designers and developers were women most people don't remember their names today, or recall that video game history started before the Boys Toys era funny that many of the games I grew up loving most were designed by women and I never knew til years later

Reading @greatdismal.bsky.social's Sprawl trilogy back in the day I wouldn't have guessed that the most depressingly prescient bit would turn out to be the sociopathic zillionaires like Josef Virek and the Tessier-Ashpools, but here we are.

A paragraph from a paperback book (William Gibson's COUNT ZERO, 1986): "And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human."

Thiel sees tech entrepreneurialism and kingship as intimately bound together: acting outside the rules to build the future that no-one else has the long term vision to grasp. “There have to be CEOs and founders. Those people are expected to wear the crown.” www.programmablemutter.com/p/the-politi...
