I love all of this conversation, partly because I too am no longer interested in the question of separating the art from the artist, precisely because once I know an artist is abusive, I can no longer engage with their art without factoring that in. Also because I can't give money to living abusers.

It's hard. "Can you separate the art from the artist"--I got asked that 1 million times in the last decade. It took a long time but I came up with my answer to that Kobayashi Maru dilemma. Talked about it with @colehaddon.bsky.social in 5am Storytalk in 2024: colehaddon.substack.com/p/q-and-a-jo...

This February, we're honored to have an incredible lineup for our 4th Black Writers' Live Q&A Series. Each Thursday has @reallymighty.bsky.social, Zora Bikangaga, & @joya.bsky.social chatting about their emerging-to-pro writing journey while speaking on being black in TV today. DM for the link!

AJ McLean WENT OFF on this solo album! 10/10 recommend. Long overdue, but also glad he waited til he got it right. #MyNameIsAlexanderJames

It is objectively perfect that people are posting about MTV going off the air forever last night instead of turning on the television and noticing that it did not.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Starting off the new year by being able to watch a marathon of a show you wrote on is a special feeling I didn't know I needed. Shoutout to Bounce for running Act Your Age all day today. Shoutout to everybody watching! #BounceTV #ActYourAge

It's very important we all go back to Twitter, a website as popular with young people as chlamydia.

Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

This has to be one of the greatest runs any director has ever experienced.

All in the Family is 1 of the first shows I ever remember watching and loving. I stayed up so late to catch those reruns on Nick @ Nite and that tone of comedy and the heart that Rob brought to that character changed my life forever.

What. A. Game. Gotta love the NBA Cup! Everyone who laughed at it is very silent rn. Wow. #NBACup

Jokes on them because we learned square/line dancing to Jagged Edge' Let Get Married remix in my school!

Henry Ford HATED Jazz because too many Jewish & Black Folks were a part of it. He pushed the Department of Education to make square dance part of the curriculum to counter Jazz.

This 30 for 30 on Stuart Scott is INCREDIBLE and has ALL THE FEELS. As someone who watched his rise and shine in real time, went to school quoting his latest saying, and couldn't wait to to watch SportsCenter every night it hit especially hard. Much love to the best to ever do it!

Glued to the tv and will likely cry during this entire doc. Stuart Scott is so missed ❤️ #BOOYAH

Remember when Netflix said they would NEVER have ads. Can't believe everything you hear y'all.

"Who is Bankroll?" is 🔥🔥🔥!!! Bankroll Ni just has it! No further explanation needed. IYKYK.

What we know, 10:30pm: —Dems flip mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia. —GOP defends TN-07. Margin shifts blue by ≈14%. —Solomon crushes McGreevey to become Jersey City mayor; his progressive slate also dominates city council. —In Atlanta, establishment ahead in most but not all battles vs. left

Judging everybody who posts a Spotify wrapped because how have you not moved on already.

This Chris Paul news is BANANAS! It's amazing how the Clippers continue to find new ways of being a terrible team and organization overall.

The Everybody Loves Raymond Reunion was hilarious, heartfelt, and fun. Now on to the "TV We Love" episode about Cheers. Top tier sitcom night right here.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If the parties were reversed here, we’d currently be blanketed with ads and speeches detailing all the crimes that were later committed by people who assaulted police but were pardoned by the president. Think Willie Horton, but true, and a much larger scale and, uh, not racist?

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 9mo ago

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power. If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.

If you went to the Craft Conference I'd love to know your favorite part of the event.

24 hours later and still thinking about how incredible the WGA Craft Conference was. Shout out to Ryan Coogler, Chloe Zhao, Noah Wyle, R. Scott Gemmill, and Rian Johnson. Also HUGE shout out to the committee of amazing people who put it all together.

tfw threatening your own party didn’t work so you’ve moved on to just hoping the FBI did your bidding by redacting all the bad parts

Losing Poker Face and English Teacher in 24 hours just feels like cruel and unusual punishment. What did I do to deserve this?!
