@screendrafts.bsky.social finally listening to the WS Anderson draft. As always, Jordan is my spirit animal. BUT i vehemently disagree with the boosters. Mortal Kombat is number one. With a fireball

The first US sale of Venezuelan crude was to a company whose senior oil trader donated to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and attended a White House meeting with the president last week. www.ft.com/content/da74...

Born on this day in 1948, Happy Birthday, JOHN CARPENTER! 🎉

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Never get so old that you can’t scream "I need an adult."

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Bingo what’s his name o

Wanna give a shout out to Roman Reigns for declaring his support for Donald Trump, followed immediately by getting low blowed and curb stomped and looking like he wanted to cry as he hobbled out of the ring dejectedly #wrestlemania

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

I'm a one-issue voter in the 2028 presidential election (besides that I'd like to have one), and that's: You will solemnly swear to put these Nazis on trial. All of them.

72 years ago on April 13th 1953, Ian Fleming’s CASINO ROYALE is first published. In 2023 I gathered the top Fleming minds and creatives to herald their best Fleming books and moments for Yahoo Entertainment UK... uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/james... #CasinoRoyale #IanFleming #JamesBond #Bond26

Art of the deal!

Elections have consequences

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

Totally agree with you, Emily.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

New York's crooked mayor won't be held accountable for likely criminal violations because the U.S.'s crooked president tried to leverage that accountability to do his own crooked shit and a court had to intervene. Democracy at its finest.

I truly believe that if James Dean had lived longer, he would’ve been Val Kilmer. A dedicated artist who felt deeply, thirsted for truth, & devoted himself completely to his art. My first real comprehension of the idea of a movie star. Farewell to a real genius. #RIPValKilmer

I told ChatGPT that I wanted to be a philosopher as a kid. And then it said that I was a DEI hire?!?!!?? God, we are fucked.

It took just two months to drive two of our closest and most important allies into China's arms.

How you know this insipid piece wasn’t written by a critic: You would never work again if you submitted a lede like this. A creator who directs *and* executive produces?!?! Unprecedented!

Why should anyone be surprised that Trump's saying he's going to have a 3rd term? And why wouldn't he think it possible? He does nothing but strong arm dictator shit, and media's message back to him is, "We beg you master, don't be displeased with us."

Happy 35th Anniversary to the Most Bossa Nova Movie Ever Made - 1990's TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! Listen to us rave about this movie with fellow Turtle Dork Bryan Young & discuss its powerful portrayal of sibling love🔗🧵⬇️

For over 85 years, one signal has illuminated Gotham City’s sky. Today is for Batman!

I honestly had no idea that so many people were such cowards.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

i dunno these kind of seem like classified war plans www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

For generations, the entertainment industry could produce dozens of TV shows with over 20 episodes each EVERY YEAR without fail, as well as movies, providing livelihoods and profits for all involved. Before the dark times. Before the tech bros.

@philnobilejr.bsky.social what’s your feeling on Amy Pascal & David Heyman running Bond?

Something to think about

Was so stoked to join @screendrafts.bsky.social as a guest commissioner while @jillsixx.bsky.social @grahamskipper.bsky.social attempt to draft the nine films of the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE franchise. Shit gets hilarious, chaotic and even emotional! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Tyson v. Ruddock, c. 1991

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

My first #SXSW review is live! I covered #Holland for @dreadcentral.bsky.social and had some thoughts. www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/5249...

Bingo. It’s not supposed to work like a business or be ran like one; it doesn’t make money. It’s supposed to help

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

contrarian.substack.com/p/a-nation-a... inspirational: If John Lewis were here today he would be encouraging us “to stand up, speak up, and speak out” vs injustice. He would be reminding us that silence is compliance. He would be asserting that the Constitution begins with the words “We the people”…

It sucks that Twitter is down today, but here's the prevailing view . . . .

Paulson Adebo to the #Giants is an excellent move that’s worth the risk. Assuming he gets back to his pre-injury form, he’ll bring a CB1 presence to a team that needed a lot of help at the position.

Hey everyone, I decided to write about what I think is the greatest scene in the entire Friday the 13th series & how it changed everything. I’d appreciate any shares/views if you’re up for it: thehorrorchick.substack.com/p/lets-talk-... Cheers!

So I am a big PHANTOM nerd - here is a little thread of my articles I did on PHANTOM OF THE OPERA adaptations. I had to abandon it because school got so busy back in 2021, but maybe I should start it up again. Here’s my write up on the original novel: dailydead.com/phantom-thre...
