Tim Miller, most notable for being Jeb Bush's comms director. Let's not make him the arbiter of advice on anything.
Quite disappointing from the two Jons.

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

"The Last Jedi very much functioned like that lightning bolt that seemed to burn down everything fans held dear about Star Wars."
It burned down everything Disney held dear about Star Wars: Money. Never has a company promoted a franchise so little after release.
Disney killed it because it had to.

This is the perfect way to understand that nebulous time between Christmas and New Year's. Can't remember what day I'm on for the entire weekend. I blame age and the lack of regular podcasts for two weeks.
Has it been Sunday all day??? When did Saturday happen???

Some notes: 1. Cap returning the Infinity Stones has always been a lingering story (it should have been D+ series imo) 2. This is clearly a Hail Mary play by Disney to right the ship before The Mutant Saga 3. The Russos have delivered the best Marvel films 4. The bigger issue is RDJ as Doom.
Marvel's decision to reintroduce Chris Evans' character Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday has prompted backlash online, with many fans criticizing the move as a "desperate" attempt to win back audiences at the expense of newer characters, and especially Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson.

Ha! Nobody likes Trump or anything he likes. Losers.
How bad was this? The White House asked Bari Weiss to spike the show in order to drum up interest
JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

Do you remember the famous #Earthrise photo from #Apollo8? On Christmas Eve in 1968, William Anders turned his camera toward Earth and captured the legendary photo. It showed humans a new perspective, with the moon in the foreground and Earth floating in distant space. 🌎🚀🔭📸

Bari Weiss is so wildly unqualified for her job she didn't know to check for international streaming rights before spiking the 60 Minutes CECOT piece. Blame Canada.
