YouTube video by Neelou Goodarzi Inside TIFF 2025 🎬 Come With Me to the Toronto International Film Festival

Experience the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival with me! I decided to vlog my experience—it was my first time at the festival and I was thrilled to explore Festival Street, all of the brand pop-ups, and see a screening of &sons starring Bill Nighy. #tiff #torontofilmfestival #criterioncloset

I saw Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2016, and tonight I’m watching his big return after all the suspension/merger drama. I broke down what happened with ABC, Nexstar & the FCC on YouTube: youtu.be/FRE7yKVI7MM #jimmykimmel #latenight #nexstar

Not sure Kimmel could have done better with this monologue and also he looks exhausted

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

Kimmel is up on YouTube

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering

trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

Kimmel is popping off right now 💅🏻 very powerful monologue.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."

100% the $$$. Always comes down to their bottom line!

YouTube video by Neelou Goodarzi Why Was Jimmy Kimmel Pulled Indefinitely? The FCC & Nexstar Merger Explained

Jimmy Kimmel Live was pulled from ABC after pressure from affiliates...while Nexstar waits for FCC approval for its aquisition of Tegna. Coincidence? I dive into government regulation & the pending merger to see how media ownership & corporate consolidation changes our media landscape. #mediamergers

Independent media all the way. They need our support. Let’s make it grow and be available to all. Better news, broadcasting, entertainment, anyway, and uncensored, creativity, and truth telling.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

After CBS announced they would not be renewing Late Night w/Colbert, the President said "Jimmy Kimmel is next." ...here we are. Watch my video for more: youtu.be/1j6Tr2a0TJY #jimmykimmellive #thelateshow

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you

they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply

do something you can be proud of on your way out

YouTube video by Neelou Goodarzi What’s the Best IMAX Format in 2025? IMAX 70MM vs Laser vs LieMAX Explained

Every time a movie comes out in 70MM IMAX, it causes a frenzy (see: Oppenheimer, Interstellar, etc.). But which format is best to see it in and how can you tell the difference? I’m breaking it down in a simple-to-digest way. Check it out ⬇️ youtu.be/cXVgl3nqTQQ #imax #oppenheimer #odyssey #imax70mm

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War.

“The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”

Wow. Mainstream media outlets "on notice"—that should scare us all. A free press is a core tenet of a democratic society. I talked about this in my YouTube video on Colbert's Late Show cancellation. Check out my thoughts & why I think it matters: youtu.be/1j6Tr2a0TJY #colbert #lateshow #freepress

CBS Cancels The Late Show Days After Colbert Criticizes $16M Trump Settlement Between a multibillion-dollar merger, a questionable lawsuit & a $16M settlement that looks, as Stephen Colbert put it, like a "big fat bribe," the cancellation of The Late Show should worry us all.

Between a multibillion-dollar merger, a questionable lawsuit & a $16M settlement that looks, as Stephen Colbert put it, like a "big fat bribe," here's why the cancellation of The Late Show should worry us all. #thelateshow #colbert #paramount #merger open.substack.com/pub/neelougo...

The Voyager Declaration Dear Interim Administrator Duffy, In light of your recent appointment as Interim NASA Administrator, we bring to your attention recent policies that have or threaten to waste public resources, compromise human safety, weaken national security, and undermine the core NASA mission. We, the signatories of this letter, dissent from these policies, and raise these concerns because we believe strongly in the importance of NASA's mission, which we are dedicated to uphold. Major programmatic shifts at NASA must be implemented strategically so that risks are managed carefully. Instead, the last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA's workforce. We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. These cuts are arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire. Our Shared Commitment to Dissentin� Opinions We share a commitment to dissenting views in accordance with NASA Policy Directive 1000.0C, NASA supports full and open discussion of issues of any nature (e.g., programmatic, institutional), including alternative and divergent views. Diverse views are to be fostered and respected in an environment of integrity and trust with no suppression or retribution. (NPD 1000.0C, Section 3.5.5) Employees across the agency have raised concerns about recent actions to NASA leadership, yet we remain pressured to implement harmful measures. We choose to write to you directly because: (I) as Interim Administrator, you are the final step in the chain of Technical Authority, and (2) the issues we raise are agency-wide, rather than project-specific. As defined in NASA Procedural Requirement 7120 5F, Formal Dissent is "a substantive disagreement with a decision or action that an indiv…

• We dissent to changes to NASA's Technical Authority capacities that are driven by anything other than safety and mission assurance. The culture of organizational silence promoted at NASA over the last six months already represents a dangerous tum away from the lessons learned following the Columbia disaster. Changes to the system of Technical Authority, as suggested would be made in the June 25th NASA Town Hall, should be made only in the interests of improving safety, not in anticipation of future budget cuts. • We dissent to the closing out of missions for which Congress has appropriated funding because it represents a permanent loss of capability to the United States both in space and on Eatlh. Once operational spacecraft are decommissioned, they cannot be turned back on. Additionally, cancelling missions in development threatens to end the next generation of crucial observations. • We dissent to implementing indiscriminate cuts to NASA science and aeronautics research because this will leave the American people without the unique public good that NASA provides. Basic research in space science, aeronautics, and the stewardship of the Earth are inherently governmental functions that cannot and will not be taken up by the private sector. Furthermore, NASA has a nearly threefold return on investment in economic activity, and supports national security by ensuring the United States maintains its lead in science and technology. • We dissent to NASA's non-strategic staffing reductions because they will jeopardize NASA's core mission. Thousands of NASA civil servant employees have already been terminated, resigned or retired early, taking with them highly specialized, irreplaceable knowledge crucial to carrying out NASA's mission. • We dissent to canceling NASA participation in international missions because in doing so, NASA is abandoning America's allies. To date, 55 nations have signed on to the Artemis Accords, and withdrawing support from missions with our long-s…

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at the NIH and EPA who have released similar statements concerning the administration's actions at their respective agencies. We dedicate this letter to Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Dick Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. Their legacies underpin every conversation about our shared commitment to safety and dissenting opinions at NASA.

NEW: Hundreds of NASA employees have filed a letter of formal dissent.

"We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire."

YouTube video by Neelou Goodarzi CBS Cancels Stephen Colbert DAYS After $16M Paramount Settlement—Money or Censorship?

Between multibillion-dollar mergers, questionable lawsuits & settlements that look—as Stephen Colbert put it—like "big fat bribes," The Late Show's cancellation opened a can of worms. CBS says it's a financial decision—but is it really? Here's my take ⬇️ youtu.be/1j6Tr2a0TJY #thelateshow #paramount

Did you know that for $5/month, you can get PBS Passport, a service that unlocks the vastness of the @pbs.org libraries?
Feed your mind while you help PBS stay on the air.

holy shit lmao

I made a YouTube video about the Paramount-Skydance merger before they settled and I took a closer look at what this means for the shifting media landscape (and also why I'm even more dead-set on collecting physical media) ➡️ youtu.be/1TMCEBF_xtE #physicalmedia #merger
