Neon CEO Tom Quinn naming Hit Man as one that got away is such a bummer. A ton of people saw it on Netflix, certainly, but it absolutely would have been more talked about and engaged with (and, yes, made some money at the box office!) if it had been a theatrical release first.

It really is jarring to read Trump's comments as he actually delivers them vs. how they're eventually cleaned up in mainstream news outlets.

Four weeks ago, Israeli forces shot an American teacher who was in the West Bank to defend Palestinians and protest illegal settler activity. The shooting was met with silence by the US. Now, settlers have attacked two more Americans — hospitalizing them.zeteo.com/p/settlers-att…

Woah! New research shows how vital biodiversity is to thriving humanity: In US counties where bats declined from white-nose syndrome, insect numbers surged, leading to a 31% rise in pesticide use and subsequently *an 8% increase in infant mortality*! #Biodiversity #Conservation

being in my early 40s is crazy, I watched everyone get Internet access in the late 90s, watched it flourish for a while, and now I'm watching it fall apart

红色娘子军🌹 this is the only good generational narrative for millennials- we were handed an incredible global trajectory defining tool, we got to witness what it is capable of, we saw it dismantled systemically by powerful interest groups and the whole planet is dumber and meaner for it

LRT I'm really enjoying English Teacher. It's very different from Abbott Elementary, but still interestingly diverse. But man, all those teachers would be fired immediately from a real school. Not a single boundary in sight.

Given how patriarchal and misogynistic the Watchers Council were, this would be some hella interesting tension to explore. They'd probably try to off her to get a cis girl in her place. A whole season where the Big Bad is actually the Watchers Council would be so cathartic.

And prevent it from hitting the DVD market. The only way to get a Netflix joint is by watching it on Netflix. Great for Netflix, terrible for consumers and culture.

In less than 2 minutes Marlon Wayans breaks down everything that's wrong with Hollywood right now, TV in particular. Whether you're a fan, writer, actor, etc. this is a MUST WATCH clip. I wish the studios would listen too. Stop chasing Netflix. Play and win a different game.

There still isn’t a single organization representing California journalists that supports this framework. nwu.org/statement-bigt…

I don't understand the people who don't follow you but who will not get the fuck out of your replies. Every tweet they gotta jump in there to tell you why you're wrong and they're right. Beloved, I'm blocking you. Use that newly freed up time to get yourself an offline hobby.

Really wish we had more of an ecosystem for getting paid to write about books. I've started reading the Expanse books for the first time and have sooooo many thoughts. Someone give me money to do a column on this series!
