I wrote an oped about Trumps culture moves ans why they are so important.

If he suceeds in taking them over, we will have a much narrower path to defeating him

Billboard names Chappell Roan the 4th greatest pop star of 2024.

less immediate losses we will incur if our entertainment ecosystem is dominated by algorithm-driven, AI generated storytelling that can replicate what has been popular in the past but won't offer new visions for a possible future. I wrote about this panel and my overall thoughts on my substack

a couple weeks ago at NationSwell in New York I spoke on a panel about the influence of AI in the creative economy. We talked about not only the labor implications and how making a living as a working artist will be fundamentally changed, but also the less obvious,

I hope they keep it that way

Thanksgiving ep of Twigg & Jenkins is live on Spotify and Youtube!! We get into the goss of the week - the now infamous Harris campaign leaderships appearance on Pod Save... I watched it so @bradjenkins.bsky.social didn't have to!
