Bruh, it’s gonna be wild when the remake to “I Love The 2010s and The 2020s” inevitably occurs, and we’re just watching this mind fuck of history we’re living in right now.

2. I've been a working journalist for, as of next month, 31 years (😭). It has always felt like a precarious career but never, ever more so than it does right now.

I wrote about the firing of Alan Sepinwall, which is awful. And I tied it into what's happening all over in the media, why it's scary & what we can do to help. I used my words, but it's definitely Hulk Mo dialed up to 11, if that's a thing you would like to experience: www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

This…doesn’t seem a good idea
Obviously the kids need school and there’s nothing unusual about on-set teaching. But a company-run school established by their employer that seems like it could end up being the only school some of these kids ever know from here on out? It makes me nervous.
this is so gross!!!!! variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I refuse to spend my holiday posting about the NYT, but I will say, Patrick Healy is and always will be a sentient typo who has never met a boot he didn’t want to tongue-fuck. Know that and know peace.

Nothing reminds you why you do what you do as a publisher quite like when a little kid is instantly drawn to your booth at the tradeshow, and stares, wide-eyed at one of the books for several minutes.

Dustin's song choice made me think - how come we haven't used "Whattaya want from me?" in a karaoke scene on TV? This would be PERFECT.

This is fantastic news, and for screenwriters and directors of a certain age a bitter reminder of the omnipresent “foreign sales guy” at every studio who nixes every movie with a lead of color because “they never sell overseas and they can’t make it up domestically.”
Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is outperforming almost every single horror movie from the past decade, earning $71M domestically already.
Projected to pass $100M domestic by Sunday.

The kids kinda have to worry about how they’re going to forge a path in this world that we created for them, in the most shitty of ways.
“A first love, for so many, has been a milestone on the path to adulthood,” writes Faith Hill, “a challenging, thrilling, world-expanding experience that can help people understand who they are and whom they’re looking for.” What’s lost if that rite of passage disappears?

Security payments because their mother died at 35. Jen earned that money and the family needed that little extra boost each month having lost a breadwinner. These people trying to shame recipients are monstrous.
