Kanye West made $30M on two comeback concerts over the weekend and Louis CK booked a Netflix special. Cancel culture isn’t real.

I’ve worked in digital communications for more than a decade. It wasn’t until this past year that I started second-guessing what I could say. That chilling effect is real and I didn’t expect to feel it this strongly. The vibes are so bad right now

An evil man fired an evil woman for not concealing his evil well enough. The victims of Epstein and his associates standing over Pam Bondi as she refuses to look at them will be her only legacy.

We don’t have money for daycare? We cannot afford healthcare? But we can GO TO WAR with IRAN for no reason? Absolute worst president of my lifetime. Bar none.

The biggest problem I see with AI slop is that people actually like it a lot. You don’t, and you can say so all day. But the masses like it, and the slop works. Do with that what you will.

The more life I experience, the more I realize how many adults never matured past 16 or so.

I should be old /jaded enough not to be bothered by guys hyuck-hyucking about being forced to acknowledge women who just won a gold medal. But I’ll be damned if that one hasn’t been under my skin all day. At the very least, I don’t want to hear about the loneliness thing anymore. Go improve.

We are shutting down February, and Rob Reiner month, by talking about Stand by Me. Check it out

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Walz on Bondi's demands for voter rolls: "This is Donald Trump telling everybody that the election was rigged, who started this nightmare for America. Pro tip to the AG: There's two million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those."

I got VS Code, Claude Code and GitHub all working together now. I feel unstoppable.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

It is so depressing to watch Americans climb over themselves to defend police brutality time after time.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

I’m on my second Republican president destroying the economy, putting the country into a recession and starting an illegal war over oil. What about you? 2nd? 3rd?

Netflix wants to buy Warner Bros. Hollywood is furious. Theaters, physical media, and competition are all on the line. youtu.be/zkwzY927Yo8

Wake Up Dead Man uses a whodunnit to critique corrupted religion while affirming the value of a church led with integrity; and a faith grounded in personal enlightenment, not fear. I want more of this! #KnivesOut

Netflix technically released Wake Up Dead Man in theaters. Technically is doing a lot of work there. We talk theatrical half-measures, Wicked’s box office dominance, and why this keeps happening on the new episode of So Many Sequels. open.spotify.com/episode/32AM...

Being off work the whole week of Thanksgiving is amazing because you remember what being a human feels like. But the trade-off is some of the worst Sunday Scaries of all time.

The Toy Story 5 trailer is here, and the plot is Toys vs. iPads. Are we sold on the concept, or should they have stopped at 3? Plus: Thoughts on Freakier Friday, The Running Man, and the Michael biopic. Watch now! youtu.be/Gm_R-IKmNyw

The Obama White House posted a 360 degree tour of the White House that is still up. For folks who never got to see the East Wing before Donald Trump & JD Vance destroyed it, here's a 360 degree view of the East Wing lobby. artsandculture.google.com/streetview/t...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

It comes amid a government shutdown and concerns that the United States is sliding toward authoritarianism.

Who’s at a No Kings protest today?

This week on So Many Sequels, we have a lot to cover from The Rock’s serious new role in The Smashing Machine to Amazon’s bizarre censorship of James Bond posters. youtu.be/xfCHGeBaaio?si

On the new episode of So Many Sequels, we're looking back at the 1995 classic, celebrating director Amy Heckerling, and unpacking all the adult jokes we finally understand. #Clueless youtu.be/dwRxA4h8Dv0?...

As I was saying…

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

High quality content. youtu.be/7jk67INa2qU?...

Just looking into examples from modern history where a capitalist society dipped its toes into fascism.

I feel like this young man I interviewed in 2007 may be onto something.
