I understand the impulse. But in execution, its like when they need to come up with what SHIELD stands for.

Yes, lots of actors and writers (probably even 'most') are very socially / emotionally liberal - because success in their art depends on actually trying to understand experiences and perspectives of people different from them.

But their beliefs don't dictate what shows & movies get made.

Another smartly spot-on dispatch from @ninametz.bsky.social (subscribe already, fellow media-junkies)

This one does a great job of illustrating what I've tried to tell so many people. "Hollywood" isn't liberal. Because the people who decide what gets made or not sure aren't, and never have been.

Donate to Support for Washington Post international employees, organized by Michelle Lee Among the hundreds of journalists laid off by The Washington Post on โ€ฆ Michelle Lee needs your support for Support for Washington Post international employees

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didnโ€™t even pay to ensure they got home.

Abolish the billionaire class:

Portland voters should ALSO be aware that @councilordanryan.bsky.social, @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social, Councilor Steve Novick, and @councilorclark.bsky.social were the 4 city councilors who voted AGAINST the proposed & adopted oversight that (so far) has uncovered $106 Million in unspent funds.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this is transformed from the scroll layout to comics- you will not be disappointed if you order this and spread the word on it, it's truly great work.
