I want to stop by my local Dentist's office on Tuesday to let them know about an article I read by @gregsargent.bsky.social apropos of "the news" they hear about Africa. "Media illiteracy, my dear Watson, as American as the USA, it's elementary, they're so fucked, elementary." #Thread #MustRead

dems genuinely have no media policy beyond helping Republicans rubber stamp shitty giant media mergers and paying empty lip service to protecting and funding journalism

Okay, back to politics. There's a lot going on, but important to know: Dem House members and Senators have sent letters asking for investigations into how the State Department is leveraging trade negotiations to help Starlink: Senate letter here: www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Honestly, even doing a job that has to do directly with justice and compassion and community feels weird and off-base right now. I'm just here having my little committee meetings and doing seminars about the Nicene Creed while people are pretty much literally being thrown to the lions.

Genuinely choice writing begins with the opening paragraph (chef'skiss*) AND heralds our emerging future as one that will require a new word, @merriam-webster.com. There are none to define its apocalyptic, dystopian, existential, nihilistic, scope.

The steady deterioration of First Amendment rights and the conflation of violence with dissent is a result not just of an authoritarian regime but of a press culture that is feckless at best and authoritarian-fluffers at worst. The New York Times is beyond redemption.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

When we talk about the best performances Paul Newman ever gave, I think Twilight needs to be in the conversation. In fact, I think it might be one of his very best. He just seems like a real guy here.

Orson Welles has a new gig — despite being dead since 1985 — thanks to AI. His voice has been digitally re-created "using licensed audio from his estate." Which reminds me of something the real Welles once said: "I hate almost everything in the modern world.” variety.com/2025/digital... #FilmSky

Reality now has a dual personality. It feels like a Monty Python / SNL comedy satire and it feels like a horrifying, nauseating, devoid of redemption, Eli Roth torture-porn / dark horror movie. The bullet points, I can't even... We are so fucked.

"The nature of forgeries, a subject on which I may boast of some small expertise, is to fool the least discerning, not the most; it is to convince the general public that true greatness never existed, that imitation is reality, that shoddiness is quality. It is an assault on pleasure itself."
