Found: cat, one brain cell (unused)

I’ve been working on a “you can’t have Greenland but you can have Green Day at the Super Bowl” joke for 24 hrs and I give up

I love coming home to LA for the holidays. Every billboard is a for your consideration billboard. Half of them for movies I either forgot or barely knew existed.

I love how everyone so often we learn that “piracy” is a very important archival tool for media people wanting to disappeared.

It’s once again time to pitch my sell out move: pr company called “Streisand Effect Inc.” and all I do is tell people to just let the story run. And then physically keep them off the internet.

You know, there’s been a lot of great developments for my imposter syndrome. The Nuzzi/Lizza saga has made me much surer of the quality of my own writing. And Bari Weiss has made me much surer of my skills as a journalist.

And, in fact, delaying comment is a common tactic when a subject knows they’re about to be the subject of a negative story. A) they do it to slow the story and B) they do it for the disingenuous “they never let us respond” argument that Bari is clearly too green to not see as BS.

Love to spend a Sunday frantically explaining that AI is simultaneously a) not that revolutionary and b) a fucking bubble about to burst to my mom.

Oh thank god I thought I’d be going into holidays without resolution on the bamboo.

oh the CBS bosses went to dylan byers? then they are definitely lying.

There’s nothing I love more than telling my cats that they are, in fact, cats.

I unwind by watching documentaries about Nazis from the middle on. It's very soothing.

I sincerely hope Rian Johnson never stops making Knives Out movies.

Hey! Quick question: what the fuck? youtu.be/g8wLmj9SiKM?...

I do like watching AI ads get the google glass treatment: “we reject this, it’s creepy, and you look stupid”

The other day I clicked on a link and it took me to Deadline which asked me to subscribe and "support independent Hollywood journalism." Bitch, you're owned by fucking Penske.

The best merger is none. None merger. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Every anti-vax story reminds me of how I, a teen who hates needles, tried to avoid them and my mom coolly informed me I’d get the shots or I would be paying for college on my own.

I can’t. This is so stupid, this is pivot to video but worse somehow.

Writing status: I just deleted everything and started over.

Don't trust anyone who says that writing is easy.

I missed the detail but I assumed it happened.

I really want to be more optimistic about technology but reality simply does not make that possible.

I cannot stress enough how the AI thing is just blockchain again. It has some uses, yes, but they're not actually general purpose ones. The bubble is going to burst and it's going to be so bad and like all cons, it's going to leave a few people rich and the rest FUCKED OVER.

You cannot write "no one wants your shitty streaming service" in your official capacity. You cannot write "no one wants your shitty streaming service" in your official capacity. You cannot write "no one wants your shitty streaming service" in your official capacity. You cannot write "no one want-

It's not doomscrolling if I'm doing it to avoid having to write.

The FIRST thing I do whenever i move is join the local library. NYC made it the hardest and CA the easiest. Fun fact: Most of the time you can join ANY public library in CA as long as you live somewhere in California. Also, LAPL has the best digital catalog of any library I have ever joined.

Me, writing: Oh thank god, i have a meeting.

Now I've gone on a tangent about the history of antitrust theory. No one should let me blog.

I'd like to thank Bluesky for being there when I needed Twitter most: when I am writing and hate it.

God I remember warning that things were breaking bad when Disney acquired Star Wars and Marvel and everyone called me a killjoy.

The complete Discworld Series. I want the person holding it to SWEAT.

Just another round of "even if you love the product, the company is not your friend"

I am writing about the media mergers and I just want to go on this tangent about how antitrust used to recognize studios and artist as separate entities at odds with each other. And then the studios coopted the idea of art and it means they get less attention than other industries.

Sometimes it’s important to relive David Zaslav getting booed at the BU commencement. youtu.be/2K8918RoaAA?...

If David Zaslav has no haters that means I am dead

EVERYONE in this story is shitty. I maintain that he’s probably a worse person, though I believe the core events from him more than hers.

Look the internet was a mistake but the existence of Defunctland’s 4-hr documentary on Disney’s living characters for a second makes me think it’s great.

It's December which means it's time to post the generic Hallmark version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" that the kids are calling "probably not legally actionable"

someone take away the ability to record from these two.

The real service he’s doing is removing both himself and her from journalism.

Part 4: return of the gross sex stuff

Everyone shut up, my stories are on.

Same. I skipped it and the people who knew kept asking me to add it back into the story.

FOOD CRIME my favorite crime

Please let access journalism and the fawning profile die with Nuzzi and Lizza’a careers.

Look guys, I don’t have an actual power point, it’s just gonna be me and a white board winging it.

These two will be suing each other and in court by 2026, and I cannot wait for lawtube to get their hands on it.

lol ty tv show from 15 yrs ago that i just started watching for coming thru w/ the perfect screenshot for the situation we all find ourselves in
