The endless enshittification of our media options — from content that’s hidden on dumbass subscription services no one gives a shit about to apps that fail at even most basic functionality — really has done a number on the ability to write and teach about film.

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

Stares at Bluesky "Defund the Police" was the compromise position. "Abolish the Police" is what it was watered down from. And people are still clutching their pearls about it, which is making me think that compromise positions aren't worth taking at this time.

This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries. So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie. Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.

It'll never stop making me feel insane that writers are made to feel crazy for appropriately valuing their craft while guys who haven't written an email on their own in three years are painting themselves as essential to the future

"Buc-ee’s is unironically pro-fossil fuel, unironically 'bigger is better.' The co-owner, flashy Texas millionaire Arch 'Beaver' Aplin III, is a major donor to Southern Republican governors like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, who are banning abortion and against trans rights."

Every trans person I've ever met is smarter and more interesting than I am and every TERF I've ever had to deal with has been a parochial, petty dullard. Strange how that works.

Because Walton Goggins is having a moment right now, and because last week was the ninth anniversary of Jim Ridley’s death, I thought I’d share this: the last Scene cover story Jim wrote, a sitdown with Goggins when the actor came to Nashville promoting ‘The Hateful Eight’ around New Year’s 2016.

I've always dreamed of a FOOT FIST WAY 2 that's like a BLOODSPORT sequel but starring Danny McBride. Now that so much time has passed I'm thinking maybe they should just rip off KARATE KID LEGENDS.

Antique baseball sheet music. The teams in each league (below) are recorded very nearly in their place in the standings on Labor Day 1908, year of the song's publication. If anyone needs help in deciphering the logic of the odd nickname depictions, I stand ready!

North Carolina and South Carolina are the only states in the country that still expressly ban all public sector employees from collective bargaining. Meet and confer is supposed to give workers more input on district decisions.
