#Kimmel made a mistake going back to ABC.

#Disney will unquestionably toss him under the bus - again.

The #FCC is now exclusively a political tool run by a political tool.

Change my mind.

Honestly, your outrage is their entire point.

Stop giving this fart fire so much oxygen.

Mr. President, American cities are 𝒏𝒐𝒕 a training ground for our military. They are your constituents.

We shouldn’t have to explain this to you.

What do #JommyKimmel; ABC; Orange Julius Caesar; #FCC Joe McCarrthy; the Corleones of Big Tech; and Putin-esque Media Kleptocracy have in common?

Since this janky af app hates video, I’m giving you this link to the answer on (blech) #Instagram.

Hey @bsky.app,

I love you. But you are JANKY af.

Video on this website SUCKS. Tagging other users is even worse. Your discovery is simply a disaster.

You make LinkedIn seem like good tech.

Our relationship is tenuous. Please be better.

xoxo

I’ve commented that Disney suspending Kimmel, even w pressure from FCC Chair McCarrthy, was less censorship than it was corporate cowardice. Seems former Disney CEO, Michael Eisner agrees.

Moreover, Iger’s chicken-shitty-ness has cost the company billions.

You will always regret bending the knee.

Snippets of my IBC keynote.
Public Broadcasting is our LAST line of defense for Democracy. I’ve BEGGED b’casters for years to listen to the audiences & embrace platforms where the youngest generations congregate - to change or die.

I really HOPE they listened this time.

Controversial Take.

Angel Studios #movies may not be for YOU.

BUT their crowdsourced greenlight process has scored a 93% avg on @rottentomatoes.com and THE highest per film BO in all of indie film.

They are changing the #film biz. Tomw, they go public. And they WILL be a #Unicorn. #justsayin

I’m old enough to remember when everyone gave a shit about the new iPhone release.

Does ANYONE *still* care about the new #iPhone release?

If so, WHY‽

Sinema is AI generated.
Change my mind.

If you don’t think Trump drew this with his Sharpie you are clinically stoopid.

Posting video on @bsky.app sucks eggs. Seriously.

Be better.

Trump knowing this report was coming out is 1000% why he announced the #DepartmentofWar today.

The Nepo Douche and Joanne Rogan deserve every bit of stupid drama and insanity they are going to foist on each other.

Personally, I’m gonna enjoy watching these two burn each other to the ground.

David Ellison said he didn’t want to “politicize” Paramount. That’s exactly what he’s doing by paying an absurd premium for Bari Weiss’ The Free Press. www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

The Weiss Price

David Ellison vowed not to politicize Paramount—yet his first big move at CBS News is a major bet on Bari Weiss, one of the most polarizing figures in media.
