Why are videos uploading with no sound on Bluesky in 2026? I looked for answers online with no luck.

This is a watershed moment for Texas - for the first time ever, solar supplied more electricity than coal in 2025. I will say it again: At this rate, TX will likely decarbonize its electricity sector faster than CA. TX clean electricity is growing at 13%,m more than twice that of CA's at 6%.

This is such a white-centered headline. Like Black Churches and Black Masjids have never existed for 400 years?

I didn't work for the first time on a Saturday since early November and I don't know what to do with myself. What do people do on weekends? And before then it was Labor Day weekend. This is a weird feeling.

Marco Rubio's arc from prez candidate to Trump's Sec of State meant squandering whatever small dignity, principle, and self-respect he once possessed. He did it all for this moment: to start an unconstitutional war, repeating the same mistakes as Iraq, and potentially destabilizing South America.

My CinemaScore boss was my guest for my MARTY SUPREME advanced screening last month and correctly predicted its B+ grade.

"The reason so many of yesterday’s free-speech champions transitioned so easily into today’s pro-Trump censors is that their definition of free speech never included the right of others to talk back." @adamserwer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Watching Barbara Stanwyck in a movie is next level. Shocking she never won an Oscar so I feel better when modern, very talented actors haven't won one. The Glenn Close of her day.

It is such a failing indictment of the streaming algorithm when a family member sees a movie (screener) they want to see to a movie they haven't heard of that has been on a streamer they have access to.

Shocker but I loved @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social's clarifying deconstruction (or reconstruction?) of Christianity on Christmas week. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/o...

The A Line is 25 minutes delayed during Holiday travel. We don't have Denver RideRTD enough.

I think the Netflix deal is ultimately better for movies and for WB than a Paramount deal (which I 100% believe would end WB) or a Comcast deal (which would take the two best-functioning studios in Hollywood and reduce them to one). I'm open to arguments, but "None of the above" isn't one.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I trained my friend to be Denver's new CinemaScore pollster who I met in 2017 while polling. We crushed WICKED FOR GOOD last night. 😎💪

This is fascinating analysis of the traits voters perfer in a Democrat candidate.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

The Republican healthcare plan is just MAHA. Its whole concept is to avoid needing health insurance (private or public), and a naïve assumption that innovation is the enemy and nature is your friend.

For non-Jews/non-NYers: It's crucial to understand that Jews in NYC have always been treated as a uniform political bloc, and Jews who oppose Israel's policy toward Palestinians have always been treated as marginal/dismissable. A public breaking-off of 1/3 of NY Jews from that history is monumental.

J-MART: “.. Voters are, again, unhappy with the political status quo and, again, fault a White House they see as unfocused on their priorities.  And Trump isn’t just failing to address the cost of living — many voters see him as abusing his power.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I missed the moment film festivaling but KevCo won two Halloween costume categories (best original and best overall) at Charlie's for The Epstein Files. Now someone release them.

The Anthony Hopkins Interview on The Daily podcast is excellent. Highly recommend!

Smashing Pumpkins release the “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” album 30 years ago today. Billy Corgan said “1979” was about “being 17, 18 — this weird feeling of having a job and a car, .. but I still had the tethers to home.” Why “1979?" “I have no idea, I had to call it something.”

🚨 🎞️ Fighting In the War Room podcast in Denver!

Voters who see what Trump is doing right now--the demolition, the extortion, the lying, the targeting of enemies, the weaponization of every branch of government--and support it only because Democrats hate it are failed citizens and bad Americans. They do not merit anyone's respect or outreach.

How can I apply to be a paid protester? I have to work on Saturday and need the money but want to go to the No Kings rally.

The Secret Garden restaurant in Denver's Cheesman Park was not great. I went once. All location and very overpriced. I feel bad for the employees.

Someone (Ezra Edelman?) should make an O.J. MADE IN AMERICA type of documentary series that talks about the rise of Trump from Colin Kaepernick and Caitlyn Jenner on ESPN. It can include this toward the end.

Reposting a job in this economy?

Disney+/Hulu cancellations during the first 5 days of the Jimmy Kimmel standoff exceeded Netflix's blowups over Cuties in 2020 and Reed Hastings' donation to Kamala Harris in 2024, per new data shared with @loudmouthjulia.bsky.social. ⬇️⬇️ puck.news/did-the-jimm...

Always can learn something new. I didn't realize that Walter Cronkite testified *against* the Fairness Doctrine: “The time is past when there can be any legal justification for controlling broadcasting’s program content." cafe.com/article/the-...

For the NYT Book Review, I wrote about Jen Hatmaker’s new memoir AWAKE: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/b...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

"Real Christianity is hard, especially in our current American culture...Nostalgia is a trick. But Christ is real." Wise words from a good friend. www.thejackl.co/p/last-week-...

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

New pod: It’s a Lightning Round episode. New clues about a probable Warner Bros sale, are the NFL YouTube ratings good or whatever, and are the Wizard of Oz numbers at Sphere sustainable?? With @lucasshaw.bsky.social. Listen! open.spotify.com/episode/6dB6...

The world is full of young men who lived dissolute lives, who think as they approach middle age, that ideological rigidity and moral posturing are the path back to self-respect and redemption.

🚨 James Telarico is a guest on my favorite Christian podcast The Holy Post.

Staying in Lawson Hill this weekend just a few miles from Telluride.

My Southwest flight to Monstrose was mostly smooth but a few minutes after takeoff water started dripping from the overhead and it looked bad. Someone packed water in a bag and these two attendants graciously cleaned it up. You were not unseen. Bravo! 👏

✅ Out Of Office Set. ✅ Bags Packed. ✅ Summer Scream at Lakeside Tonight. ✅ Telluride Bound Tomorrow.

An esteemed film critic colleague called HONEY DON’T one of the best films of Cannes. Another esteemed critic colleague called it the worst film of the year. I like the movie & found both POVs engaging. Criticism isn’t only about our verdict; it’s the context, the ideas, the prose that count more.

July 14: we are building several multi-gigawatt compute clusters, the first is called Prometheus (cool myth, no lesson there) August 20: AI hiring freeze. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

Bad on every level. Far and away the best TV newsroom in Colorado likely to get swallowed up by the worst, under a corporate parent that’s already positioned itself as News Corp Lite and will face explicit pressure to go even further in that direction to win FCC approval.
