Why is Jason Isaacs so worried? Doesn’t he know white collar crime is legal now? #WhiteLotus

This video was a real labor of love. If you have federal workers in your life that you love, now is the time to stand up for them!

Thank you @dangerousones.bsky.social and @elevenfilms.bsky.social for putting this out there!

Revive 1313 and lean into single player open world gaming generally. Evil West Wing style TV show about the staffers who help Palpatine run the empire and the senators they have to deal with. More Clone Wars style animated series.

Canceled Amazon Prime today. Pushing out Barbara Broccoli and destroying The Washington Post were the final straws for me.

Forward Frame Media 2024 Political Reel Some of our best work in 2024

In 2024 we fought hard to elect #Democrats and pass #ProgressivePolicies up and down the ballot. Here's a taste of what we're all about. vimeo.com/1030976055

This is a huge indictment against NIMBY policies in blue states. If big city Dems can't figure out how to build more housing and lower housing costs as soon as humanly possible we will continue to pay a heavy political price.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

Trump Says He Will Install Himself as Kennedy Center Chairman The move by the president, whose authority to make the changes was not clear, is the latest attempt to bring a Washington institution under his control.

Soon you will only be able to perform Cats and The Music Man at The Kennedy Center

Jimmy Carter was what every American pretends they want in a president, a good man who puts country over politics and actually tells the American people like it is and speaks to the country like we're adults. RIP

This is also how I feel about the modern Lion King adaptation. There’s an attitude that an animated version isn’t as legitimate as a live action version (even if the β€œlive action” is 99% cgi) and I hate it.

BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
MILITARY COUP EDITION
1. Coups are all about creating the sense that the outcome is inevitable.
Assess reports with that in mind.
2. Beware official sources on both sides. Each is battling to seize that narrative.
3. Watch out for references to "The Military." During coups, there are always divisions jockeying for power.
4. Pay attention to who controls the broadcast stations. It's a huge tactical advantage.
5. Consider the messaging. Coup plotters who issue statements anonymously expose a lack of confidence β€” a losing sign.
6. Consider the territory seized. Airports and bridges matter. But symbolic government buildings matter more.
The most effective coups are fast and nearly bloodless. Images of street violence signal bad plotting.
8. Don't be a cheerleader even if the target is a dictator. Reserve judgement.
9. The aftermath is more important than the initial drama. Don't look away.

the elected politicians threatening to take away your civil rights are a distraction from the real threat to society: the college students who annoy me on the computer

This is way why we need to invest in our own media echo system. It sucks that it has to be this way but it is the only way to effectively counter the MAGA movement.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s β€œgood” or β€œbad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

This post from the official Star Wars account feels really ominous and relevant. Do we think it's on purpose? You all preparing for the new government by streaming Revenge of the Sith?

Shit like this really pisses me off. Everything Biden did to restore norms and show impartiality and transparency was just thrown in his face and led to Trump’s victory and now all that is going to go away again.
