Watched my wife fast forward through an entire episode of Industry to show me one scene and remembered that the streaming wars will be won by the first platform to implement:

* Bookmarks
* Playlists
* SMART Playlists (i.e. alternate The Office and Parks and Rec by airdate). We've had streaming platforms for a thousand years now and we still can't send friends a playlist of "Top Ten Episodes to Get You Into Seinfeld" or "Six Hours of Christmas Episodes For Holiday Party Background."

One of my biggest fears/problems with this dude is that it’s not just his supporters being violent on his behalf, it’s that he raised the fame and rhetoric temperature so high that crazy people just started doing crazier things, without clear motivation. Like SHOOTING HIS EAR. How does calling a bomb threat to a school help Trump or his cause or the goal of white supremacy in that town. There’s no internal logic. He’s just set everything at eleven and we live there now.

Vance is gonna be rich and famous forever but he’s gonna be the kind of rich guy where you’re the third billed speaker at something called THE THINKER’S CONFERENCE at the Indianapolis Marriott and chooses a forever shrinking spotlight over seeing his kids become their own people. He’s gonna keep using a younger photo on all his materials

There is a conversation happening about AI replacing writers, driven by people who neither write, nor make and use AI, and it’s so thoroughly free of real world facts or details they might as well be talking about a cool magic wand they heard about. “Um like if you wanted two characters to kiss but they hated each other could um like the AI make that cheaper and faster”

It’s 2023 and the hottest tech trends are physical discs of TV seasons, group texts, and blogging via email newsletters. Before I hit send, I checked twice to make sure I knew what what year it was.

These *really* look like the before and after got swapped. Streamlining is when you have to add a half-dozen words of explanation right

Everyone on this website who bills themselves as a great thinker is living bad take to bad take like some kind of Clickbait Uncut Gems keeping the lights on for another day by asking out loud if waiters should be paid at all or why children don’t get married anymore I did not ask to live in the bad faith attention economy

Hey if writers are so easy to replace with reality tv and computers, why are producers contorting themselves and the system to try to secretly keep them working

This SCREAMS how badly they need writers and how inevitably the writers are going to win “We don’t care if you strike we have a strike proof five year streaming plan but please please please risk your career to secretly sell out your colleagues for way less money than you deserve, we’re so fucked if we don’t finish Alvin and The Chipmunks 7: Chipperoni Squeakzza”

It is astonishing that someone can be writing at this level of pay and exposure about an issue that they understand this poorly. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. It would be like if National Geographic paid me to imagine how lobsters reproduce without googling it first. Important context here: I grew up in a religious household and was never told how baby lobsters are made.

Every bad boss I ever had told me I was just lucky to be there and there were a million people out there who would be happy to do the job for less. If that sounds familiar to your own life, support creative professionals, especially if you are or want to become one. #WGAStrong If you do want to have a creative career someday, tagging studios on twitter to tell them you’ll work cheaper than the writers who are striking is shooting yourself in the foot on multiple levels for a gambit that wasn’t going to work to begin with.

Today, a total stranger, not in the biz, found out I was on strike and said to me, “The arrogance of that man.” I’m not gonna blow up her spot, but it’s possible the average person outside this conflict is becoming aware of it and choosing a side.

Twitter right now is like if every time you posted on Facebook there was a chance Mark Zuckerberg would reply Tom Hanks drinks baby blood. I’m having a bad time with the version of this website that is the fiefdom of a lunatic who is addicted to being the main character.

“If you indict trump you will make his supporters mad they will mobilize and he will become more powerful than ever” dude I don’t know what to tell you I am not in charge of any of this “If you destroy the hornets nest it will only make the hornets mad just stay in your house forever it’s their driveway now”

Don Draper took one look at Michael Ginsberg’s work. It was good — TOO good. It made Don sick. Or maybe that was the eleven vodkas. Either way, he needed to think fast.

“This work is … bad actually,” said Don, putting out a cigarette through the illustration of the baby’s eye. Ginsberg knew the work was good. He would show Don. He would show EVERYONE.

He would cut off his nipple.

I was reading the subtitles of End of Evangelion out loud to the baby (because she can’t read) and my Apple Watch spontaneously initiated a suicide intervention. Image I have been covering her eyes during the violent and gross parts which is most of it.
