Opinion | I Once Talked to Robert Redford About What Happens When We Die

Back when I was in college and wrote for the school newspaper I wrote a whole thing about the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which eliminated media ownership restrictions, and how that was going to fuck us over forever and people were like "Dan, I dunno this is an art school," well eat shit fuckos.

I feel powerless to affect many things these days, and I think that's part of the system. We're not supposed to feel like anything we do can help. But migrating from Substack to Ghost and cutting off all financial support to Substack in any way feels like a small, real step that will help

Five years ago, I talked to that studly Aussie @oneblakeminute.bsky.social about one of our favorite Redford films. Before that, I vented about how the U.S. was turning into a dumpster fire.

The news of @sepinwall.bsky.social getting fired from Rolling Stone reminds me of my early years trying (and failing) to write about TV for outlets ran by people who clearly abhorred the medium. Whoever did this doesn’t binge-watch, and they’re proud of that shit.
