@MattBelloni @PuckNews "There are (once again) very real professional costs for political speech in defense of victims, or criticizing power, and god forbid you try to put either onscreen.” —An executive
This is supposed to be good news?

Five years ago yesterday, I sent the first issue of @PuckNews What I'm Hearing. As a thank you to the tens of thousands of subscribers, I asked about 100 of them what's changed most in Hollywood since May 2021. The smartest answers ⬇️⬇️ puck.news/what-im-hearin…

@EoinHiggins_ insane how sharp The Colbert Report was in comparison to what I guess you could call his real identity/politics

@MikeDiggs79 @mangrove_t @BrendanPedersen no it's not. from the abstract: "We analyse individual-level data of two national representative samples covering the period 1979–2008"

@stansteazy @mangrove_t @BrendanPedersen This study is based on modern enlistment during no war or war bonuses

“Susan Collins voted to send me to Iraq” is one hell of a campaign line

Today on #TheInterview : Any path for Democrats retaking the Senate goes through Maine. Progressives see Graham Platner as the potential cure for what ails the Democratic Party. Establishment Dems fear he is a symptom of our degraded politics. A deep an surprisingly emotional discussion with the man himself👇👇nytimes.com/2026/05/16/mag…

@MikeDiggs79 @mangrove_t @BrendanPedersen that's just not true and it's fairly easy to find information to the contrary

@stansteazy @mangrove_t @BrendanPedersen No it’s not. Majority of Americans who join are at or near the poverty line have no educational mobility join only for education money. They live in America where they get told from birth they are good people and killing is cool and doing it for America is the most macho thing

@BigMeanInternet as always the power of this kind of exercise is in the individual ballots and not the aggregate list

It's interesting that the Sight and Sound movie poll produced some interesting results, whereas the Guardian book poll seems wholly useless.

@BrendanPedersen doesn't really hit when you enlisted in the marines after the war began
English
@MikeDiggs79 @mangrove_t @BrendanPedersen you do realize that a vast majority of young people, men and women, do not join the military. they hear the same propaganda and are not taken in. Platner's fine, but to attack Susan Collins for voting for the AUMF and then enlist after the war began is disingenuous
English
@mangrove_t @BrendanPedersen thats the way alot of young men felt thats why you dont start wars and tell them there heros before hand and send them of to an immoral war. dont blame kids growing up in fucking america who worship the military propganda, fuck off

Today I learned the CCP commissioned a history of the Qing which ended up being 32 million words (full Harry Potter series ~30 times over) and ultimately shelved it because it was allegedly too woke (didn’t stress sinicization narrative of the Manchu sufficiently).

@nkulw I gave up early on because of how much I loathe the characters involved. I just can't hear that much about Musk and Altman

@kissmeriver did everyone forget that Obama was a gay prostitute?

@arvofart This guy bites so much from Louis CK that I wouldn't be surprised if he's also a sex offender

@capybaroness reading that people don't like this song and credit sequence and all I can say is it was the only thing in this movie that was ahead of its time
English
audiences sat in theaters watching this 14 months after 9/11 and uniformly stood up and said "This Future Must Not Come To Pass. Brosnan Must Die."

@capybaroness movie would've been better with just a basic linear structure
English
seen a lot of fans say that putting this reveal so late is meant to "reframe how you feel about the character." but it really doesn't, because by this point you've seen him do a number of insanely brave and heroic things! it needed to happen maybe halfway thru at the latest

still can’t believe people found this scene funny and not extremely heartbreaking

“I don’t listen to the news” is such a funny answer to “Were you ever drunk at your job?”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
REPORTER: Can you say definitively that you have not been intoxicated or absent during your tenure as FBI director? KASH PATEL: I can say unequivocally that I never listen to the fake news mafia. This FBI director has been on the job twice as many days as every director before me. I've taken half as many days off.

@SopEsplanade @BadFilmTakes1 Funny you say that about Mad Men and Sopranos and then in the next sentence say that Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad when that series literally would not exist without Breaking Bad. It's a strange argument to make
English
@BadFilmTakes1 ok, I love them both, but without The Sopranos, there would be no Mad Men. I really loved Breaking Bad at the time, but it doesn't seem to have maintained the same cultural relevance as the other two aforementioned shows. And I also prefer Better Caul Saul. 🤷🏻♀️
English
The Breaking Bad vs. The Sopranos debate is kind of moot when you realize that Mad Men secretly clears both. It’s the most galaxy-brained version of what historical fiction can be. We are all just characters in the thrall of the changing tides of culture and history.
Ashley Reese@offbeatorbit
It’s crazy how Mad Men really is the greatest show of all time
