OMG, I'm watching the group of amazing folks behind @TedLasso in conversation with @YNB, and it's as amazing as you'd expect. I love this group. ❤️
I could definitely listen to @YNB gush over "Ted Lasso" for a few hours. 😂❤️
God, this conversation is so wholesome. I love it.
Check out the big ass Muppets poster behind @brettgoldstein -- how can you not love this guy?!

#TedLasso
Right now, @YNB is trying to get @hanwaddingham to sing more in the show, and their exchange is fantastic. 😂
By the way, if you have no idea what this is, watch "Ted Lasso" on @AppleTV. Hands down, my favorite show in years. Such a breath of fresh air. Their second season is dropping soon!
"How do you manage to steal scenes with just a reaction?"

-- @YNB to @jezpswift

SO TRUE!!! 😂
"I'm covered in mud and shit like everyone else, and I gotta dig beneath that."

-- @jasonsudeikis, when asked by @YNB how much Ted Lasso lives in him

Really beautiful, longer answer.
This conversation with the cast of #TedLasso really reflects the tone of the show in general: hilarious, earnest, and nuanced. It feels so wonderful and fresh.
"We didn't want the women to be there for the exposition of the male characters..."

-- @VDOOZER says in response to @YNB asking about all the women characters, writers, and producers in the show centered on an all-male pro football team

Really great longer answer.
Also, I loved hearing the shout-out for @ashleyn1cole as one of the show's writers. <3
The cast is now doing a round robin talking about the mentors in their life, and it's so beautiful 😭😭😭

#TedLasso
I should point out here that @YNB is really, really great at moderating. These are fantastic questions and give-and-take.
"I'm gonna be real here: I thought at least three or four people here would list me as their mentor."

-- @VDOOZER

The cast laughs. 😂
"We needed this positivity... I think I can speak for everyone here: we're as grateful for it in our lives as anyone would be."

-- @VDOOZER

#TedLasso
"You can tell when someone still has heroes."

-- @jasonsudeikis, before listing his high school teacher, a drama instructor, and Tina Fey as three women who shaped his trajectory as an artist with their mentorship

#TedLasso
"Ted Lasso is the salve that you need. It's the balm for this time... it's the show that says it's safe in here: you're gonna learn and you're gonna love."

-- @YNB, ending the talk with truth

That was a great panel. Delightful.

Watch #TedLasso!

Seems like Sen. Schumer's getting a rise out of a lot of people with that "erection" gaffe.
These things happen. No biggie. I expect Sen. Schumer will just ride it out.
It's okay to laugh at this. Don't be so stiff.

The National Rifle Association is filing for bankruptcy. I guess that means they're no longer loaded.
I guess the NRA didn't hit their target goals for finances.
I can't wait for all the NRA bankruptcy mentions in news clips and magazines.

I wrote a lot of pieces in 2020! As we close out the year, I want to share a short list of my favorites. (thread)
In March, while we all watched in horror as the Trump administration botched the initial response to the pandemic, I wrote for @Independent about the bizarre and unjust access many healthy celebrities gained to COVID tests, which were quite scarce. independent.co.uk/voices/coronav…
In April, when it was apparent Joe Biden was on his way to winning the nomination, I wrote for @washingtonpost on why progressives should have optimism about a Biden White House. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

Well, folks, I'm officially the latest online personality to start a Substack, and the question that might be on your mind is: “Does the universe really need this?”

I seriously doubt it, but let me explain why I’m doing it. (thread)
I’ve always wanted to write for a living. Like actual personal writing and commentary, basically what I do on Twitter every day for free. Up until now, I’ve been paid to do communications work—of which I’m proud—but that’s not even close to being the same thing.
In the past, despite a number of offers, I’ve always declined to monetize my Twitter account because there’s a chance of risking a loss of trust with folks who follow your work. I really admire the people who have made that work, but I didn’t wanna risk it.

I watched an advance screener of "Promising Young Woman" today, starring Carey Mulligan as Cassie Thomas, a med school dropout who exacts revenge against rapists and sexual assailants, and it's one hell of a film. Here are many thoughts on it. (thread)
Right off the bat, I should say that the film graphically references, describes, and depicts rapes and sexual assaults and also suicide. In case the trailer hadn't been direct enough about that, consider this a trigger warning. It is DEEPLY uncomfortable to watch in some parts.
The film opens up with three younger guys at a happy hour engaged in, uh, "locker room talk". Well, two of the three. The third is the apparent moral center of the scene, played perfectly by Adam Brody. He's the Nice Guy. He chides the other two.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", the policy that barred openly lesbian, gay, and bisexual people from serving in the military. My service in the Army coincided with the last six years of DADT. We are now living in DADT 2.0 for trans people.
Before Trump's trans ban went into effect, the U.S. military was the largest employer of transgender people in the world. For three years, trans people served openly, a period described by the generals and admirals overseeing our military as free of complications.
Republicans now use the same fear-mongering over trans people that they did with lesbian, gay, and bisexual people in the military back then:

1. Threats to military readiness and unit cohesion.
2. Medically unfit.
3. Moral panic.
