Thanks, @michaelburns.bsky.social.

Really good chaser to today’s video

oh hey it's new video day so reminder to BUY TICKETS TO THIS LIVE SCREENING if you're in Los Angeles. patrons get $5 off. it'll be fun and we're screening a wild movie we made. events.ticketleap.com/tickets/hype...

early responses a mix of "YOU'RE WAY TOO SOFT ON HER!!" and "HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE HER?" which is . . . what the video is about.

He's right. It's not her fault. There are systems and cycles at play and the machinery of them requires the pressing of buttons that also activate selfdestructive parts of her personality. It is unfortunate to see her spiral and flame but losing the forest for the smoke of burning trees is also bad.

NEW VIDEO OUT NOW Contrapoints isn't the problem. It's way bigger. youtu.be/Nq8NVn8c7u4

From the river to the sea and Gaza to Los Angeles, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

78 years later, the Nakba continues. Today we honor the lives, resilience, and resistance of Palestinians who continue to fight for freedom, dignity, and the right to exist on their own land.

Let’s go girls!

never has the topic of an article so appealed to everything i care about in this world

This is rage bait but 1 of the most eye-opening things I’ve learned from leaping up a few tax brackets due to luck is HOW MUCH MONEY there is at the top. Straight up unfathomable. Way, way, WAY more than you think! California can afford ANYTHING. YOUR govt can afford ANYTHING. Demand it all!

the most offensive thing Shane Gillis has ever done was star in a Drake video

If I have any LA followers please go see this. It looks really cool and I want it to do well enough to come to New York so I can see it.

los angeles - we made a movie about how living on the internet is destroying our souls. it's part documentary, part absurdist comedy. we're showing it may 30th at a cool theater that serves cheap beers and snacks. come. events.ticketleap.com/tickets/hype...

my friends at @yellowdotstudios.bsky.social have a new film out by Ryan Andrej Lough and @ghostpanther.bsky.social called You Need This. It explores how consumerism hijacked society. Here's my interview with the film's director, Ryan Andrej Lough. youtu.be/fdqmvZG5hEg

gonna try to defeat depression with a short walk, caffeine, and maybe a pastry that will raise my cholesterol immediately. will update.

there's a new third space in town, anchored by a print-only newspaper! media, arts, politics, social infrastructure, let's go! Inter Chicago Circle for Experimental Critical Theory hosts a convo about urban aesthetics featuring The Painting of Modern Life at THE PUB interccect.com/2026/04/22/g...

and if you're in another city and wanna see it let me know. i would love an excuse to do screenings in Chicago, New York, Minneapolis, Baltimore, etc. (those are the only cities i am aware of)

COME SEE THE MOVIE I MADE (with some very smart/funny friends) ON MAY 30TH IN LOS ANGELES. patrons have a code for $5 off tickets.

It's official! I am launching my own YouTube channel It's meant to be a pretty lowkey companion to my newsletter. Please don't put in the newspaper that I'm a YouTuber. This morning I went on a bit of a rant about the 22 foot golden statue of Trump that hit the news last week! youtu.be/zBHcwjm-W1g

i asked @colormind.bsky.social to explain the drama around YouTube Commentary channels to me, and we ended up getting into a bigger discussion about art and community in the digital age. youtu.be/JIVI_dFiHD4

Come to this. And see what happens when I let my adhd “write” a movie for me.

i'm hosting a live event showing my first feature length project. it's about how the internet turns us all into crazy people. limited seats available for this one so grab tickets now if you're a real head. there will be a comedian opener and a q&a events.ticketleap.com/tickets/hype...

PLEASE COME TO THIS SHOW TONIGHT IF YOU ARE IN LA AND SUPPORT THE ONLY (yes, only) SOCIALIST RUNNING FOR MAYOR IN LOS ANGELES

Liberal Currents mentioned! But also, check out @michaelburns.bsky.social's YouTube channel (and Patreon!) for good, humane leftist content. Discussion on @mattpolprof.bsky.social's argument that the right wants us stupid. We resist the idea because we instinctively yearn for good faith, imo.

i have 5 minutes with Tom Steyer tomorrow. let me know what i should ask him.

read @mattpolprof.bsky.social talk about conservative thought so that you don't have to read it yourself. (unless you're a scholar or writer and then you probably should)

last week i got to talk to the very thoughtful @mattpolprof.bsky.social about his newest essay in @liberalcurrents.com, 'The Right Wants You Stupid.' check out my interview and then read the full essay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAjy...

Great chatting with @michaelburns.bsky.social about my @liberalcurrents.com essay "Why The Right Wants You Stupid." www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAjy...

This is good. Be sure to read McManus's article linked in the YouTube video description.

going back to the world of streaming today. lots to talk about. might have a guest. youtube.com/live/ncNW15a...
