Really loved this @tvmojoe.bsky.social joint about the networks and streamers on the hunt for the next Heated Rivalry, or how acing the basics — a good premise, strong vision and charismatic leads — can make TV that’s as compelling as a $200m budget buster www.vulture.com/article/show...

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly attempting to profit off of a congressional program intended to defray housing costs for lawmakers’ Washington, DC, residences — a claim she has denied. https://cnn.it/4u6mfq8

Archivist? The one who receives and processes the Electoral College votes that Trump tried to forge last time?

The Strain Received An Awful Studio Note That Could Have Derailed The Horror Series - TVLine

A studio suggestion to add comedy attempted to change the course of FX’s The Strain, according to creator Guillermo del Toro.

SNL's Trump: "People are asking why we had to strike in the early hours of Saturday... One, it's after the stock market closes for the weekend. And two, it's to cause immeasurable fear, rage, and chaos in the SNL writers room.

OTOH corporate LGBT pride is apparently a thing again?

MAGA-Curious CBS Boss Posts Eye-Popping Reaction to Iran War Weiss amplified celebratory posts about the attack on Iran.

Bari Weiss couldn’t resist hitting repost.

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24

“I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” - Trump, 11/5/24

“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Kids and volleyball players. Absolutely sickening.

That's how you snag that Medal of Honor.
