Not quite what I expected on a Friday.

Thanks for such an excellent season of TV. (And dammit I love the Season 2 opening so much).

Chris Hayner @haynerland.com · 21h

I love Peacemaker Season 2's intro so much. It definitely tops Season 1 for me. Also, this season of the show, on the whole, is excellent.

I would’ve gotten into game of thrones much earlier if they got rid of dragons and made it funny.

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

The Voltaggio Boyz are my fav wrestlers.

Hey media. When a politician gives you a bullshit answer, your job to press further.

You don’t work for them. They work for you.

Believe me, people in editorial power think it's both weird and gross. But the alternative is everyone gets fired because there's no money to keep the lights on. Journalism isn't free, even though society seems to think it is.

One of my fav flicks man. Now I gotta listen.

This all starts with Google crashing site traffic across the web regularly.

The system is broken. Massive corporations siphon away the traffic that allows us to make money, while leaving us with little option but to write what is basically paid advertorial (without Amazon buying ad space).

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I didn't make it to the Taylor Swift movie(?) this weekend, and I sort of regret it. I still think the album is fine. It's not in my top 3 (Midnights, Reputation, 1989) but it's got a few bangers on it.

I'm still waiting for a 2025 movie I like as much as Sinners.

Chris Hayner @haynerland.com · 3d

I am also not confident it can do that.

This is the nicest, most hopeful thread.

9) People are, all things considered, pretty good.

I see twenty thousand people a day, and maybe two of them are assholes. Even on a stressful day, even in an unfamiliar environment, even hungry and tired and on a timer.

That's a *much* better ratio than folks realize.
