History is written by the winners, which is why #Luddite is a slur meaning "technophobe" and not a badge of honor meaning, "Person who goes beyond asking what technology does, to asking who it does it *for* and who it does it *to*."

Woke up to Billy Eichner’s comments that “straight people didn’t show up” and thats why #Bros underperformed at the box office.
It's more complicated, and I think this is such an interesting case study of a film trying to be everything for everyone (🧵)

The elevator pitch makes tons of sense: imagine a straight rom-com, but with gays! 50 First Dates, but gay should work, right?
But in actuality Bros is more that+history lesson+apologizing+telling us how monumental it is.
It’s a lot that those movies don’t have to deal with.

Like many critics, I mostly enjoyed the film and found it very funny. But it also felt breathless, and like it was trying to do SO MUCH. Somewhere in there is an interesting portrait of the central relationship, but its overcrowded by so much ~ stuff ~.

With his gay romantic comedy #Bros, Billy Eichner becomes the first openly gay man to both co-write and star in a major studio film. wp.me/pc8uak-1lBpZW
“I want it to do well for the sake of the LGBTQ stories getting greenlit. So, there’s a burden I feel, much as I want to sit here and just talk about how funny the movie is.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lBpZW
#Bros is part of a wave of new shows and movies — like Netflix’s #Uncoupled and Searchlight’s #FireIsland — that come from LGBTQ creators. Unlike “Uncoupled” and “Fire Island,” though, “Bros” needs to convince consumers to buy a movie ticket. wp.me/pc8uak-1lBpZW
I’m so so so delighted that this piece: #bropenscience is Broken Science is published. I am so proud of it.
Here’s a little thread about how @o_guest and I wrote the article. (Spoiler: what you’re reading is the third complete restructure) 🌺🌸

Last year @abrookmanbyrne, deputy editor @psychmag, reached out to @o_guest to ask her if she was interested in writing about the history of the wonderful #bropenscience pun that Olivia had created back in 2017.
Olivia gave it a first pass but writing an article about the genesis of a pun on Twitter felt.... thin. And a bit petty.
It’s something that folks ask for a lot, but it was hard to capture the irreverence of #bropenscience AND the huge power dynamics it draws attention to.

Good morning @childrensplace: Respectfully calling on you to design clothes for #boys & #girls that promote excellent #values. The dangerous #dumbingdown of boys! Why promote dark characters that wield #WEAPONS? (#ElPasoshooter) Why promote laziness & unhealthy eating? 1/x
