Two characters from this week on BlueSky collide in this 2005 episode of CROSSFIRE: It’s co-hosted by James Carville and it’s about Bush’s stalled nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the UN. youtu.be/qsQYDmBkl7s?...

I believe Buckley was a master of performed intellectual affect, but in reality a shallow-thinking, uncurious, weak-willed pushover who was easily cowed in the presence of actual brainpower e.g. Gore Vidal.

I'm shocked that a far-right conservative icon such as Buckley would have such terrible taste in cinema, or that he would be utterly out of touch with how normal Americans/normal humans around the world would react to something. these are the folks who claim to know the "real" America

I talked to Josh D'Amaro about his first 100 days running Disney, his fight witth the FCC, his efforts to unite the company around a digital strategy, and why he thinks Disney has what all its rivals want (hint: IP and sports right): www.wsj.com/business/med...

Turkey legs are $14.49 at Disneyland. So…no!

Shockingly, Mrs. MAGA here loves the fair and tells people they should be prepared to come back multiple days to take it all in.

The crowds are just… wow. Empty. And the food prices? Seems outrageous to me. Is Disney even this expensive? (These prices don’t even include tax and “processing fees.”

The local NBC reporter tried his best to make this seem fun and exciting, and some of it DOES seem fun. But as one honest fairgoer put it, the whole thing is “underwhelming.” youtu.be/fp_Bw6DjikM?...

If I had to guess, I would say this is a fake ad for a fake product: RCA made cabinets for radios and TVs, but pretty sure they never made a bed. Plus in the 70s, that TV would be full color. Plus, searches of the internets show no history of this being online until a week or two ago.

CNN sister network Headline News platformed Glenn Beck with a nightly show as recently as 2008. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that the media is liberal.

Good morning from Turtle

Can’t imagine @willmckinley.bsky.social having thoughts on this…. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/w...

Haven’t heard these words in 35+ years, but I think anyone over 45 can hear the announcer saying them in their head: “Now playing at your request” youtu.be/5PH4xwCGb2o?...

Utterly disgusting. (Both Megyn today and NBC then.)

Letterman bashes The Late Shift movie! Paula Abdul visits The Single Guy! And Noah and George toss around some fake babies on the set of ER! This is ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT for February 15, 1996 youtu.be/Q26XEEp6Vzg?...

Every time @tvmojoe.bsky.social writes about the entertainment industry he makes me want to grab a torch and a match (complimentary) www.vulture.com/article/amaz...

Sorry to put this in your timeline, but honestly, Jared Polis got played AND played himself so hard. Man has zero future in politics, unless maybe he takes a hard MAGA turn like Tulsi G. or RFK. Even then, not sure he can pull it off. I'm sure he'll make millions as a lobbyist or talking head.

Ann Blyth has died at 98. She received a Supporting Actress nomination 81 (!!) years ago for her completely delicious performance as Joan Crawford's wicked daughter Veda in Mildred Pierce. Man, does that performance hold up. Enjoy 3:00 of immorality and immortality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs1J...

Amazon's decision to dump ARTIFICIAL after its deal with OpenAI was bad. But this sort of cowardice is hardly new. I look at how CBS in the 00s and Ted Turner in the 90s paved the way for Prime Video's retreat. New #Buffering, up now on @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/amaz...

What are your favorite sitcom vacation episodes? (Bonus points if they actually went there)

Season one of this (excellent) show debuted 13 months ago, but production on season two is just beginning *now*? I am hardly the first to note this, but the Netflix series production model is seriously broken. It shouldn’t take two years to make 8-9 episodes of this kind of show.

Today I had to explain to colleagues the meaning of "I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn," and well, it was a nice run.

We have to go back.

I once had lunch with Logan (maybe 20-25 years ago) when I worked at Variety in LA. She was the hotshot correspondent on 60 Minutes II, and she struck me as... kinda normal? Watching as she descended into this sort of madness (many years ago, at this point) has been scary to see.

Is Mexico paying for this, too?

THE PITT is not officially moving away from its winning formula (15-ep seasons, real time, annual releasing) so if Google serves you this fake news, you don’t need to click.

Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

I love that the UK has a political commentator named Phil Collins.

Our 80s folks needed all five clues to get this, but not @dimlan.bsky.social, who was the first to ring in with the correct answer. Several other of you got it as well (as did I, he noted humbly.) Before there was DOWNTON ABBEY, there was…

It’s 1987. Can you solve the SUPER PASSWORD puzzle with these two clues?

Baby Gene!!

Take a look at this list of news stories from conservative tabloid, The Daily Mail. The 'reporter' behind this drek just got hired by Bari Weiss for the CBS News investigative team. Are you kidding me? This isn't journalism, it's a MAGA fever dream. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Verbatim clue from this New Jersey woman trying to get George to guess ROCKY: “Hooray! The fighter! Sty Stallone—big movie!” (Yes, she said “Sty.” He got the answer.)

“Please describe for Jamie Lee these things that make you scream. Things that make you scream.” This was in the summer of 1978, before the release of “Halloween.” No surprise, JLC got ‘em all.

Gotta eat my words—NYT and Washington Post ran amazing Sunday pieces on Gillibrand’s Cryptogate scandal today… Just kidding! Still no mention of the senator’s son scoring $30M less than a week after graduating. Washington Times covered it, though.

How @thetimes.com Sunday Magazine sees America. Note how small Trump is—and the picture it used for Bill Clinton.

I have gotten a lot of requests for an Action Park Podcast over the years. Since its been covered by others so well, I hesitated, but I thought I would do it to help me work through how I feel about this very dangerous amusement park that I enjoyed as a kid. www.retroist.com/p/retroist-a...

This is CBS simply passing along Trump’s nonsense conspiracy theory with zero pushback. Zero mention of the arrests, even though they were reported long before this report was taped. Even for the new CBS, this is pathetic. youtu.be/0ovm2fBqV4A?...

Happy #MTMSaturday to all who celebrate.
