Reality TV production in Los Angeles has seen the steepest decline of any category since 2022, plunging 52% in the past year.
TV drama and comedy posted modest gains in the first quarter of 2026 on the back of increased state subsidies, a benefit reality TV didn’t share since it doesn’t receive state incentives.

@BenStiller What about non-legacy actors? They have no shot at all. Hope you can empathize.
English
There are already very few buyers out there. Original ideas and non legacy IP is extremely hard to get made by a major studio or network. The winnowing down of choices results in less opportunity for new voices and diverse viewpoints in what we all are given the opportunity to see. It’s already been challenging for years, and the merger will only make this worse.

HBO was the only streamer willing to make “I Know This Much Is True”. Very difficult material. We won an Emmy and a Golden globe for it. Knocking out even one streaming service, or combining even two, would have made “I Know This Much Is True” impossible to get made.

@BenStiller You and @MarkRuffalo are box office poison.
Your constant political ramblings and diatribes drive off half of the nation's audience.
Then you wonder why nobody wants to watch or purchase your products.

I saw someone make the Odell Beckham Jr. comp the other day and now I can’t not see it. The ball tracking and vice grip hands obviously made OBJ elite elite, but the suddenness/smoothness and ability to flip momentum, glide and then explode instantly to top speed is so similar.

@Dylan_Housman To all of us for whom this was not well-known, you and those who knew are complicit.

I would just like to say that the worst, most bad faith interaction I've ever had with a Hill office was also Swalwell. And I've had plenty of professional, cordial interactions with Democrat offices. Only Swalwell's behaved like absolute cretins.
Matt Stoller@matthewstoller
It's well known Swalwell was a corrupt monster. The worst meeting I ever had on the Hill was with a Swalwell staffer. Mean, corrupt, and dumb. But the Dem club protected him, because that's what they do. x.com/JoeBiden/statu…

@yashar There's always an "open secret" about Democrats.
FDR. (mistress and polio)
JFK. (mistresses too numerous to count, phony PT 109 story, etc)
Clinton (sexual predator, countless rapes, affair with Mondale's Daughter).
Give me a Democrat and I'll give you the secret.
English
It’s because they’ve all known for years.
It’s been an open secret.
And I don’t say that as a guess.
Michael Tracey@mtracey
I personally can't stand Eric Swalwell, but the idea that EVERY DEMOCRAT would instantly renounce him, and demand he exit the race of which he's been front-runner, without doing a shred of due diligence to verify anything, just reflects an ongoing disease endemic to the party

@academic_la @clairlemon Iran now have no Air Force, no Navy, no substantial military installations and a majority of the population against them.
Yeah they're winning dumbass
English
Iran is coming out of this far stronger. With Chinese weapons, Russian intelligence, control over the Straits of Hormuz, leverage over the Gulf States and assets unfrozen by the United States. A complete strategic disaster.

US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to provide Iran with air defense systems in a matter of weeks, CNN reported. Beijing is expected to ship shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@gavin_gee @business There is no defeat. There is no win. China plays the middle against the ends, and benefits from US distraction with Trumped- up forever warfare.

@business @scoopercooper If China does this, then we have to consider them the largest state sponsors of terrorism
