#TinaFey says the writers behind “Saturday Night Live” have “always worked really hard” to make sure its portrayals of politicians were a “fair hit”:
“Sometimes people will ask me, ‘Does SNL try to control the narrative of politics?’ And they really do not. You really can’t because if it’s not true, it will not be funny.”

@WesternLensman Adam Schiff: everything that’s wrong with our country rolled into one person.
English

Adam Schiff says he didn’t know anything about what his Russiagate junior partner Eric Swalwell was doing.
“If I had, I wouldn't have gone near him with a ten foot pole."
Ruben Gallego, Schiff’s Democrat colleague in the Senate, has said “we all heard rumors for many years."

Gallego: “We all heard rumors in Washington, DC about Eric Swalwell for many years." Yesterday, Pelosi denied she and other Democrats ever heard about what Swalwell was doing.

Joaquin Phoenix, Ben Stiller, Kristen Stewart, Denis Villeneuve, David Fincher and more than 1,000-plus Hollywood names have signed an open letter opposing the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger.
"This transaction would further consolidate an already concentrated media landscape, reducing competition at a moment when our industries—and the audiences we serve—can least afford it. The result will be fewer opportunities for creators, fewer jobs across the production ecosystem, higher costs, and less choice for audiences in the United States and around the world. Alarmingly, this merger would reduce the number of major U.S. film studios to just four.
Media consolidation has accelerated the disappearance of the mid-budget film, the erosion of independent distribution, the collapse of the international sales market, the elimination of meaningful profit participation, and the weakening of screen credit integrity. Together, these factors threaten the sustainability of the entire creative community. That includes endangering the professional lives of the tens of thousands of workers who help make up that community in predominantly small businesses and independent companies embedded in local economies and communities nationwide."

@BobbyRoth636 @Parodyjeffx 7% of the population?? Bro where are you getting your facts? They are only 2.5% of the population.
English

@Parodyjeffx They represent about 30% of the actors but are only 7% of the population, seems like a great place to start with this diversity they are always pushing.
English

@Parodyjeffx I think someone needs to create a graph/chart that shows how many actors in movies and TV shows are now Jewish compared to years ago. It’s been a steady rise decade after decade. Basically catching up to what’s been going on behind the camera for eons.

@MattWalshBlog And I mean seriously… Read the room! Constant wars in the Middle East for 25 years and you seriously think the country suddenly wants another one?? For no other reason than to make Israel happy?
English

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

Rep. Eric Swalwell is the latest Democrat to confirm that the shutdown is about defunding and eliminating ICE: "I don’t want to fund ICE, I want to abolish them." This follows his pledge to arrest ICE, take away their licenses, and bar them from jobs. jonathanturley.org/2025/12/31/swa…

@MuseZack @Sturgeons_Law Most of the Hispanics in America and south Asians in England came illegally. They skip the contryversy and play it safe with the blacks.

@Sturgeons_Law British TV is pretty consistent in having far more black than South Asian characters, though.

That's how you can tell it's made primarily w Americans in mind. And they will watch it.

Danielle Deadwyler has found her partner for Hulu’s 'X-Files' reboot as Himesh Patel is set to join Hulu’s reboot of the classic TV series. The show recently received a pilot greenlight at Hulu. Deadwyler is set as the co-lead in the project, from Onyx Collective and 20th Television. Jennifer Yale will serve as showrunner.
'Sinners' filmmaker Coogler is writing and directing the pilot for the new 'X-Files.' In it, two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents —played by Deadwyler and Patel — form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena
