Eye-opening and important read from @carritwigg.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... Via @rollingstone.com

I wrote an oped about Trumps culture moves ans why they are so important. Our cultural institutions establish the boundaries of acceptable discourse, defining what American society considers valuable & reasonable. If he suceeds in taking them over, we will have a much narrower path to defeating him

/1 I’ve been posting an ongoing series about how the Democratic Party needs to be looking at the structural changes that will ensure its survival and protect our democracy. Today I posted a few more clips from my interview with @carritwigg.bsky.social and @bradjenkins.bsky.social

Had the great opportunity to sit down with @carritwigg.bsky.social & @bradjenkins.bsky.social to discuss the future of the Democratic Party. Thanks both for having me. If you missed the DNC Chair Labor Forum, I cover a lot of the same ground in this podcast. #NateforDNC youtu.be/CvbrpDVBzDI?...

He is exactly who we think he is.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

More from my future of AI and creativity panel at @nationSwell! People defend art.

Billboard names Chappell Roan the 4th greatest pop star of 2024.

a couple weeks ago at NationSwell in New York I spoke on a panel about the influence of AI in the creative economy. We talked about not only the labor implications and how making a living as a working artist will be fundamentally changed, but also the less obvious,

The Democratic Party Sacrifices Its Young To Protect The Establishment By selecting Rep. Connolly over AOC to lead the House Oversight Committee, the Democratic Party chooses to continue the ossified status quo instead of much-needed reform & growth. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-democr...

How to be a Writer: #261515: Open laptop Contemplate WIP Yeah but these e-mails Okay, right, but then back to the WIP Hm. But this newsletter Yes, okay, but- And also social media And Wordle In three Well, that looks like a good day's work Call it a day, shall we? Tea

One of my boring media hobbyhorses: People have tuned out of the modern Sunday show format (one host, multiple guests, panel) and whoever brings back the classic format (three reporters and one guest for 60 minutes) will get a big W.

They are ham-fisted for sure since they don’t like the difficulty and responsibility of business they are actually in, which is media, as much as they pretend it is not because it makes bank for them. www.theverge.com/2024/12/3/24...

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.

I hope they keep it that way

Thanksgiving ep of Twigg & Jenkins is live on Spotify and Youtube!! We get into the goss of the week - the now infamous Harris campaign leaderships appearance on Pod Save... I watched it so @bradjenkins.bsky.social didn't have to!

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority

Happy Thanksgiving!

I write about the intersection of pop culture + politics on substack. I wrote about the power of television and as political organizers we neglect these stories at our peril. In the landscape of culture, television has long been more than just entertainment. open.substack.com/pub/carritwi...

This is good. We need new ways to reach out. Seems, we need to entertain them.

“This younger generation of men—they want to learn, they want to be educated, and they don’t trust the [traditional] media." I examined the new young male pod-stars and how their economics reflect a changing podcast industry for @theinformation.bsky.social www.theinformation.com/articles/ris...

November's election results solidified a reality that I've long believed: that the political conditions of America are determined by its cultural conditions. Its why in 2016 I left politics for media, and why in 2018 i co-founded my entertainment company: Culture House.

Rock bottom is a great place to rebuild from. Ahem, dems 😮‍💨. Another clip from the latest episode of Twigg & Jenkins

It’s not hard to predict what Carr would do at the FCC. Project 2025, posts, and interviews—he's publicly laid out how he would crack down on and intimidate traditional media, boost conservative media, and unleash disinfo on social. The result: An info ecosystem tilted further in Trump’s favor.

A clip from the latest episode of Twigg & Jenkins available on Spotify and YouTube! @bradjenkins.bsky.social and I get into it every week. This week, how can the dems rebuild, and more importantly, are they willing to do what’s needed?
