This quote is from a piece that’s 8 years old now.
Thinking about that time I got quoted in the National Review about Bari Weiss

I’m not gonna say my real #1 for fear of it being sniped… but number 2 is THE WRONG EARTH, a graphic novel series I can most easily describe by saying it’s like if Frank Miller and Adam West’s Batmans traded places. Created by Tom Peyer and Jamal Igle.

You are getting a live preview of this as streamers “reinvent” weekly drops of series that return in less than a year with seasons of 15+ episodes. Just straight up looking in the camera and marveling at this “hole in the market” that’s actually the shallow grave they shoveled TV into for 8 years.

Thread. This is a crucial thing for non-Christian Americans to understand. Most Christian Nationalists think it’s an act of kindness on their part to tell you that you will be going to hell if you don’t convert. It’s incomprehensible to most of them that they’re being bigots.
I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it.
A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...

The immediate threat has always been not that it would take jobs, but that some dipshit exec would spend a billion dollars integrating it into the business, drive everything off the cliff, and 5-8 years later the rest of us are left picking up the pieces.
The exec that said "we thought it was farther along then it was" is absolutely the greatest issue right now. Not only is it not capable of doing any of these things on a broad scale, it will do them significantly worse than any employee. Going all in on something to boost stock value that fails.
Honestly im shocked

Rewatching GREMLINS and on top of it being a great movie, it makes me want to make an on-the-Universal-backlot small town movie so badly. I think there would be so much goodwill towards a movie made this way in 2026.

Christians are allowed to say in any environment what they believe with certainty, whereas anyone else can state their beliefs, but in a qualified "this is what I believe" or "As a [blank], I believe."

Every jaw in the room dropped. He had done the unthinkable. He had not only told them his beliefs, but he had done it with the equal degree of certainty that they had employed in telling him theirs. And there's this unspoken rule in America: Only Christians are allowed to do this.

always after he explained what he believed as a Jew, he was barraged by emails from concerned students asking why he didn't believe Jesus was the son of God. And he said,
"Well there's a very simple answer to why I don't believe Jesus is the son of God."
"Because he's not."

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Terrible framing. It presumes JD Vance is not an anti-Semite himself and that he simply chooses to tolerate them in his pro-Semite party as a political sacrifice.
This is false. Vance is their leader. He is a white nationalist anti-Semite actively building the party around others like himself.

J. D. Vance has "clearly made the calculation that anti-Semites are part of the Republican Party’s base, and he can’t afford to shunt them to the side as he plots his own presidential bid," Franklin Foer argues. theatln.tc/aaUENxUw

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, is in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun beating its legs trying to turn itself over but
