It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story

Violent crime is at an all-time low in D.C. the NYT acting as stenographers for the administration is shameful - this is an authoritarian crackdown on an overwhelmingly Democratic city. Accepting and amplifying the framing of the Trump admin is wildly irresponsible.

Losing poets & musicians hurts the most. No more new gifts, no more new revelations. It feels like their work ends when they’re gone. But we can revisit it over the many years of our lives and marvel as the words and songs begin to sound different, as the words and songs somehow change with us. ❤️

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms:

It’s good to see James Gunn reward his friends and have them reward him back.
#Superman
is extremely fun even when it gets absurdly weird. It’s definitely a James Gunn film, and all the good and bad that comes with it. Some interesting light Troma stuff, though not nearly as much as Suicide Squad

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie. He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests. He will lie to ALL our faces. 🤬

I feel like critics were VERY sensitive to whether the movie "Barbie" was an ad for Barbie. They seem perplexingly unconcerned about the fact that "F1" is absolutely, unambiguously an ad for F1.
