Cultural shift. No one really comments on how Disney inverted who was hot in the Girl Next Door Crush and Aunt May duo ImageImageImageImage
Disney lost young boys and its so obvious they market to 40yo redditors instead of kids/teens with these vapid films. These are light entertainment but the framing is all for the kidults.
My son was a kid and when Iron Man died said “I think I’m gonna cry”. I hugged him and saw that the bald 45yo two seats over was bawling. #Decline

With the alarmism about retirement savings, are the Boomers in bad shape? Media blurbs and surveys say yes. It’s not the entire picture and part of it is classification of retirement savings. The media push is to funnel more $ into the market for finance to scoop fees 🧵
The media paints scary pictures by saying the avg Boomer has $112K saved for retirement. Don’t take that at face value. Many have zero saved for a reason. marketwatch.com/story/heres-ho…
Another source says $200K for avg retirement savings. This is wild since Boomers enjoyed the stock market bull runs of multiple decades. Not all Boomers benefited from the neoliberal econ system so there were some losers due to trade/immigration policy. moneywise.com/retirement/do-…

Fun read about the #Manson murders, the ‘60s and Hollywood. Intel Agencies get plenty of space, too. There is a short section that every #JFK assassination conspiracy theorist & denier should read: the chapter on the incredible Dr. West
Dr. Louis Jolyon West has quite the Wikipedia entry. Son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, he hustled hard to receive special Army Medical training, get to Colonel in the air force, become chair of psychiatry at University of Oklahoma… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jol…
And was involved in every major brainwashing/cult court thing in American history except the Manson trial. Dr. West was a paid CIA contractor in the MKUltra program. He received copious $ via CIA fronts. He saved correspondence.

How bad is it for Catholics? How corrupt & gay is the institution? Read “In The Closet of The Vatican” to learn about an org that serves its internal gay hierarchy & leaves parishioners to suffer the consequences of bad institutional behavior. As a Catholic, it hurts to read🧵
Readers will be angry because of its implications for all abuse scandals. The author doesn’t downplay gay abuse scandals being 90% of abuse unlike American media because he is a progressive pro-gay but wants to focus on hypocrisy of gay homophobes in the church
The higher one goes in the hierarchy, the gayer it is. One insider estimates the Vatican to be 80% gay. This has implications for promotions, which we will see later. Pope Francis’ Synod on the Family was run by “the most open and gay-friendly cardinals”.

Dune’s Butlerian Jihad is named after Samuel Butler. Not a fictional character but a real 19th century writer. Real man who in one of his books spent chapters worried about thinking machines. 🧵 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Bu…
Samuel Butler engaged with the Victorian changes in worldview and would be considered ahead of his time & a goof with his hodge podge of ideas. He was a lifelong bachelor and likely a closeted homosexual. His fiction sounds interesting but his nonfiction, well, no.
Butler believed in evolution but rejected Darwin, instead being a bit of a Lamarckian. He didn’t really fall into one school of thought or the other and was a dabbler and amateur on many topics. He would have been at home on Twitter.

The centrist whataboutism or both sides crap needs to be attacked. They need to be made to feel cowardly and dumb.

The right points out the major problems in America, critiques powerful interests & dislikes our elite. The left hates the right & ‘whiteness’ 🧵
This was a steady contrast in ‘16. Trump was ‘hateful’ but read a transcript of a rally speech; he attacked corporations that don’t support workers, out of touch DC idiots, bad trade deals/econ policy & illegals. Clinton’s targets were all internal, fellow everyday Americans
For all the enlightened, above it all centrist BS, they’re just as trapped in media framing as the partisans they look down on. Switch Clinton/Trump genders, and nothing else, and suddenly people see what was awful about Clinton & effective about Trump teenvogue.com/story/gender-s…

Media power is in the audience and narrative crafting & promotion. It’s also in figure creation. Only 40,000 people watch Stewart but his position as a figure makes him newsworthy. He become a beacon. His words gets spread by other media 🧵
CNN has fewer and fewer viewers but their reports get picked up elsewhere since it is CNN. Other entities cite “CNN reports” to spread the message. Stewart doesn’t need viewers. He just needs to be Stewart. His old role and reputation let others amplify his message.
Newsweek sold for $1. It loses money but is “Newsweek”. It is not as powerful a force as Twitter, but its ownership will always be in friendly hands. The Newsweek name matters as a piece of he ecosystem
