No matter the platform you should have your default feed be reverse chron of who/what you follow and curate and diversify that feed.

You’ll be better informed and less prone to disinfo and group think.

This is a hill I will die on.

RIP Peter Watkins. His film “Edvard Munch” is one of my favorite movies ever. The best biopic and one of the best examinations of what it means to be an artist in any medium.

Read LAist. Invest in independent local media. Ignore this newspaper.
My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Don’t subscribe to the paper any more so I’m not gonna link to the story, but fuck this.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would go see live.

The sieg heil (“arm gesture”, if you’re a fucking coward) was disgusting and awful. The press response to it though has been outright terrifying

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Scoop: After the LA Times published a piece about Elon Musk that carried a headline owner Patrick Soon-Shiong didn't like, a new rule was implemented: Prior to publishing opinion stories, headlines must be emailed to Soon-Shiong, where he can then choose to weigh in. www.status.news/p/los-angele...
The Times They Are A-Changin’
Staffers at the Los Angeles Times described to Status a demoralized publication depleted of its spirit in which employees are "confused," "offended," and "frustrated."

Because the holidays are upon us, have no choice but to pick my favorite Christmas movie. Eyes Wide Shut, Tom Cruise as Dr. William Hartford stays.
Pick a movie (can’t resist changing it) keep one actor, rest are Muppets:

Melancholia, Kirsten Dunst as Justine stays

Delta flights now having free WiFi complicates this somewhat, but that’s what the Denzel movie on your neighbor’s screen is there for, apparently
One of the best things about a true reverse chron feed is that sometimes you refresh and nothing has changed. And that's the reverse chrons way of telling you to go outside.

I know there are a lot of evils in the world right now, but I would like NBA league pass forcing me to sign back in every time I change games on my Roku counted in the list

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

Now that the Onion is back and better than ever, can someone find a way to bring back alternative weeklies? I’d definitely pitch in to re-animate LA Weekly, Village Voice, etc.

I had been an LA Times subscriber since moving here nearly 5 years ago. No longer.

Re-reading Christopher Buehlman’s Between Two Fires right now, and, man, what a beautiful book. And a surprisingly comforting one as the world slowly turns to Hell around us

The New York Times ran dozens and dozens of pieces over a couple of months about Biden's mental fitness.
Trump: "You cannot get into a hospital, by the way. Because the migrants have all the beds. You cannot get into a hospital. You cannot get your kids into a school because there are migrants there that don't even speak the language ... they're getting precedent over your children"

As someone who only pays attention to baseball in September and October, you’ll never convince me that Kiké Hernandez isn’t one of the best players of this generation. That he is the best interview of our time is already indisputable.

Great LA evening watching Southern Comfort in a packed theater, with Walter Hill and Keith Carradine in tow. Movies rule. Forgot that for a minute there.

Coolest thing I learned today!
Fun film fact. In Escape from New York (1981) they used reflective tape on a miniature model of the city & filmed it under black light to approximate 'cutting-edge' wireframe CG, which would have blown the budget at the time.

Probably my highest ranking in any endeavor, honestly.
