This was a tough election. But in spite of it all, I am really proud of all the videos we produced, candidates we uplifted, and victories up and down the ballot. Check out this compilation of Forward Frame Media's 2024 political advertising work:

Why is Jason Isaacs so worried? Doesn’t he know white collar crime is legal now? #WhiteLotus

This video was a real labor of love. If you have federal workers in your life that you love, now is the time to stand up for them!

Thank you @dangerousones.bsky.social and @elevenfilms.bsky.social for putting this out there!

Canceled Amazon Prime today. Pushing out Barbara Broccoli and destroying The Washington Post were the final straws for me.

This is a huge indictment against NIMBY policies in blue states. If big city Dems can't figure out how to build more housing and lower housing costs as soon as humanly possible we will continue to pay a heavy political price.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

Trump Says He Will Install Himself as Kennedy Center Chairman
The move by the president, whose authority to make the changes was not clear, is the latest attempt to bring a Washington institution under his control.

We live in a dystopia that the best sci-fi writers could never dream of.

Yes! Let’s do it.
cannot overstate the degree to which i am negatively polarized against nimbys.

like, if you go to a public meeting to speak against lower cost housing i think the city should eminent domain your house and your house specifically
The first several speakers at this morning's comprehensive plan meeting have been longtime homeowners in Seattle's wealthy Madrona neighborhood, arguing that a two-block "neighborhood center" where some apartments will be allowed, saying it will destroy their neighborhood.

Jimmy Carter was what every American pretends they want in a president, a good man who puts country over politics and actually tells the American people like it is and speaks to the country like we're adults. RIP

When you meet someone who loves The Wolf of Wall Street for all the wrong reasons… run away
Elon Musk’s comment that Matt Gaetz was the “Judge Dredd America needs” is part of an alarming pattern, writes Adam Serwer:
Republicans Are Confused About the Concept of Bad Guys
Some conservatives are embracing the villains in what are supposed to be cautionary tales.

The media is scared of Trump. They’re not scared of Biden. bsky.app/profile/sant...
It’s really telling that the NYT buried a single story about how Kash Patel wants to prosecute Trump’s political opponents underneath 6 Hunter Biden pardon stories.

Honestly really hope season 2 is just this
Andor: “we’ve managed to hack into the imperial comms network, listen…”

“…the budget for the 4th quarter does not meet the projections as outlined in the MOA for the force design update for the death trooper squads, especially with the Senate’s CR for the next FY…”

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

This post from the official Star Wars account feels really ominous and relevant. Do we think it's on purpose? You all preparing for the new government by streaming Revenge of the Sith?

Shit like this really pisses me off. Everything Biden did to restore norms and show impartiality and transparency was just thrown in his face and led to Trump’s victory and now all that is going to go away again.
thinking again about how Trump's WH corruptly didn't release visitor logs, Biden reinstated the practice, and the upshot of those decisions from the press's perspective is that they wrote a false story about how Biden has Parkinson's using the logs and put it on the front page, timed to damage Biden
