Sam Peppard

@ductbile @rkylesmith And even that point is moot. He’s pretty far removed from that world and has been for decades, between Yale and Silicon Valley. I would say Vance has forgotten his Ohio roots.

@sampeppard @rkylesmith Vance grew up poor in Appalachia, raised by his grandmother because his mother had an opiate addiction.

Whenever Dems go for “authentic working class” it’s like they’re trying to speak Chinese phonetically

@ductbile @rkylesmith Halfway right, it was far from poor it was very much a middle class upbringing in Middletown Ohio.

@Notwokenow Because he’s more entertaining than you.

Why is anyone following Hunter Biden? Why haven’t you guys muted him?

@kj29579 @rkylesmith Yea right? Then he grows a beard and starts wearing a surplus jacket and is like “I’m one of you.”

@rkylesmith @sampeppard He ran as far away from his upbringing and the people he grew up with as possible, then trashed them in his famous book.

@rkylesmith Working as a VC at Mitrhil capital certainly is though.

@sampeppard I don’t think his upbringing was in the same universe as Hotchkiss

@DAKKADAKKA1 Why do people hate zendaya so much but love Sydney Sweeney?

>single handedly ruins both The power.

@GlobalBoxOffice Regal website was crashing for me.

No IMAX, no fun! THE ODYSSEY crushed AMC online but the other theater chains didn’t see any crazy demand. Overall, a bit overwhelming start for non-IMAX formats. We’re lowering our expectations from $100M domestic opening to a $65M-$80M projection. Updates every other week.

@fandompulse Jon Del Aroz go to sleep.

The Odyssey carries a confirmed $250 million production budget — the most expensive R-rated film ever made. Audience interest dropped 8 points in recent Quorum tracking. Greeks published an open letter saying "We Did Not Vanish." Lupita Nyong'o defended the casting by saying mythology belongs to everyone — while previously praising Black Panther for its cultural specificity. Universal is betting a quarter of a billion dollars that Christopher Nolan's name carries the film past all of it. Does Nolan's credibility still hold that much weight with a general audience?

@CyrilH44 I think there have been other good posters but this is for sure my fave so far.

It’s taken 7 attempts but we finally have a good Odyssey poster

@CinemaTweets1 I loved it. Very old school and great to see Hoffman back in the game. In my top 3 of the year so far.

The Best Film of 2026 (So Far)

There’s nothing like a VC that can actually print money.

@ScottMcCreaWest Nah. It’s good but there are many more.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is, so far, the only great movie of the 21st century.

@OrikonTMR I mean it’s leaning into what’s popular. That’s marketing, not the movie.

The Odyssey is looking more and more like it's just a 250 million dollar marketing stunt for IMAX.

@growing_daniel Yes it is.

Send Help is such a great movie

there’s a set-piece here that if Mann pulls off will rival any action sequence in his career

@TTrimoreau Eating

If AI keeps getting better… what skill becomes impossible to automate?

Let’s brain storm a better title please.

@tszzl Will you say why you think that is?

lines of code is a better metric than people think it is. token use is a better metric than people think it is

@benjamin_horne @KeyTryer All I see is people call this guy stupid. No one actually seems to offer valid pushback of any kind.

@KeyTryer He’s right. I really hope you’re not giga long any AI stock from here.

The fact that news orgs has replaced analysts and experts for dudes like this makes me think that journalism is basically dead
