I really enjoyed this in-depth conversation with @AndyBehbakht about my TV career for #TheShowrunnerWhisperer.
Listen to it here: bit.ly/3Xu4Nhu
On the seventh episode of #TheShowrunnerWhisperer, we welcome #KungFu showrunner @robertberens as he chats about the makings of #TheCW's Kung Fu, how #Ringer & #Supernatural prepared him, the journey of the #WaywardSisters and more! bit.ly/3Xu4Nhu

Elon conservatizing X was a poisoned chalice the exact way pre Elin twitter was for liberals, it convinced them their worldview was much more hegemonic than it really was in the real world

When will people understand that this predatory pricing model will always be true of anything coming out of Silicon Valley? It is literally their only model. 1. Operate at a loss so everyone signs up 2. Wipe out competitors 3. Slam users with profane monopolistic costs

New media thing is to acknowledge the impossible to deny—that the US is bombing schools—but confusingly centering the (supposedly) exculpatory fact that they were (supposedly) bombing something nearby, in an effort to dampen any potential moral outrage and disgust.

Many have rationalized this war with reference to the Iranian people’s right to democratic freedom.
I wonder if any of them genuinely believe that this is what a majority of Iranians would have chosen for themselves, had they been allowed to decide

Depressing part of growing older in a collapsing imperial gerontocracy (among many) is not only have I heard all these bullshit justifications for war before but I've literally heard them from the same people

This is who our government is calling a “monster” and a “domestic terrorist.”
Lies travel fast when violence needs cover

You can literally hear him say "Where's the f*cking gun? Where's the gun?", and a man in the back, presumably the one who confiscated it before they all started shooting, says he has it.
They pepper sprayed and threw him to the ground, disarmed him, then executed him

He was trying to protect someone he didn’t know. He was willing to put his body in between a vulnerable person and the full force of state violence.

Anyone who replies to disagree with me on a movie being a "REAL SMOKER MOVIE," a term I came up with, I'm no longer explaining it, I'm just blocking. Count your own cigarettes! Come up with your own standards and terminology! I got other shit to do and so do you!

Instead of doing whatever this is I would maybe spend some time thinking about why the populist corner of the Dem coalition has popular politicians people find inspiring, and why the neoliberal corner doesn’t have a single one who could draw a crowd big enough to fill a Denny’s.

(As you ofc know!) the obsession with sleeper cells, and the reason why the FBI and WH have been pushing this talking point out nonstop, is it Brings The War Home and reinforces the false narrative Iran is a threat to Americans. It’s THREAT LEVEL ORANGE schlock for lazy reporters

It's a tough time out there for Democrats, all they have to run against is stuff like an extremely unpopular attempt to start another foreign war and an extremely unpopular attempt to sell public lands. Best to just wait this one out.
