Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.

Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

I don't watch wrestling. it's just not my thing. but whenever someone says it's "fake" and acts like the fans don't know it's theater, that pisses me off. like they figured out some big secret and everyone else is just stupid.

Do younger people know about the huge effort that was put into decreasing the % of smokers. Education campaigns in print, on TV, in schools, new restrictions/enforcement, labeling, a soupçon of public shaming, changes in how smoking was depicted, etc. Might guide us in anti-anti-vax efforts.

Jessica Henwick said that these two projects had the most positive impact on her career and opened doors that were previously closed to her in different ways.

LET ME STOP COMPLAINING AND PRAISE GOD!!!

So apparently the conservative women think that Carolyn Bissette was a role model for traditional values and all the club kids are on TT telling them that she was a club going, coke sniffing NYC liberal who would have hated their asses 😩. JFK Jr. was the liberal of liberals as well.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”

Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

I was just venting to a friend the other day about how 10 years ago it was like… unheard of to see this volume of projects get so far into development before the company funding it decides “project cancelled, everyone go home” how much money is being thrown away on art no one gets to see?

Me, listening to the Tron Ares soundtrack.

I can’t wait for this award season bullshit to be over.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

(It’s also eleventh hour rage bait in a too-long Oscar season where the nominated movies are mostly pretty great, and that bums me out.)

I get thinking he phrased it immaturely (I agree tbh). I also get that you might just not like him and everything that comes out of his mouth hits you the wrong way. I have people who do the same to me. But the context I think matters a ton.

He’s not talking about ballet and opera as artistic forms, he’s talking about them as business endeavors.

(This comes after discussion about how to get younger audiences engaged with movies; act 1 action scenes happen sooner, etc.)

I kept waiting for people to post a fuller version of the clip (particularly since the one that circulated literally began with “…and”).

The context concerns keeping movies viable organically before the audience erodes and you have to go out hat in hand and beg the Kochs and Geffens for it.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.
