"YouTube has kind of this attitude, like, you’re lucky to be on YouTube, which is congrats to them, but I’m not sure how long that’s sustainable.”

Yes, YouTube is an infamously snobby user-generated platform. Buddy, just say Netflix paid you gobs of money.

Has a reporter ever responded to something like this with a straight up "what is wrong with you dude?!" What would happen?
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

The extent to which our culture is dictated by the guys that got personal validation by hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein is frustrating.

Just the biggest collection of dorks that just happen to be rich. Although, I guess that it does show there are limits to what money can buy.

Imagine the Republican reaction if Democrats—bankrolled by, say, Warren Buffett—took over CBS News, remade it in the image of TyT, and then we learned that the spouse of the unqualified person they installed to run it had been hanging around Jeffrey Epstein.

I went to the early access screening last weekend, and it was fun to hear people react to classic Raimi sight gags. As the credits rolled, I heard one guy say, "I had to go to the bathroom so badly but didn't want to miss anything."

Go see this in a theater this weekend and have some fun.
SEND HELP is Sam Raimi's best movie since DRAG ME TO HELL and a very fun one to see with a nervously tittering crowd. Go see it in a theater this weekend! www.thebulwark.com/p/send-help-...

Director Ric Roman Waugh got his start as a stuntman under Tony Scott, so he's seen a lot. His new one is SHELTER, starring Jason Statham; it's a more deliberate, meditative action movie, and he had lots to say about working with the best in the business. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-last-a...

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
