Why is the modern movie going experience awash in advertisements for things that have NOTHING to do with movies?

I used to produce for a humble #podcast studio . We covered video games and pop culture. We had 4 different shows recording weekly. Patreon making cash, sponsors, the whole thing. Then I just let it go.
Why?
I got burned out, and when another option came up, I took it.
Burn out is real.

I think this new Gus Van Sant film could be something interesting, based on the trailer, but there's one line in it that hit me hard.
"Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die."
That's good line.

If you’re visiting a Dermatologist, you’re basically saying, “Hello, I am in the market for scar.”

I have read nothing about #StrangerThings5 and therefore I was able to just watch it and enjoy it. It’s a solid effort and worth a watch.

Tough realization, but despite a Valiant attempt, I won’t hit 52 books in one year this year. May not even hit my personal best.
That being said, I have enjoyed this year of reading the most.
Onward to 2026.

Happy Thanksgiving. However, you celebrate (or don’t), I hope you get at least one perfect moment today that easily showcases all the things that bring you a feeling of Gratitude.
Be blessed today.

@richardkadrey.bsky.social great job on ‘The Flesh King’, I really enjoy reading this series, because I get a little dark, a little comedy, a little weird, a little world building and all in a tight narrative format. Well done.

I have 9 books stacked, most non-fiction or philosophy. This means I have started them, but not finished. Gonna try and finish all of them this week, already wrapped 1 today.
Wish me luck!

The JUST action for some member of the Justice Department to do will be leaking the #EpstienFiles in their entirety.

I think it’s very odd that the #POTUS is involved in the biggest US political scandals in history, and he just gets to keep on making horrible decisions that impact us all?
Shouldn’t we be able to put him on time out or something?

Your peace of mind can be found on a sofa, under a fuzzy blanket, on a cold fall morning, with Duke Ellington and John Coltrane playing on vinyl while you sip a warm cup of coffee.
I mean…
Give it a shot.

Guilty folks do things that make them look guilty.
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

It’s concerning the @nytimes.com has reporters warning #Epstein about people looking into his affairs? How far up the chain did this apparent ‘catch and kill’ racket run?
An NYT reporter warns Jeffrey Epstein that folks are "digging around again" and may be a threat to him, but don't worry, NYT will always be on his sign.

Today I was editing a chapter in the book, and a line I wrote maybe three or four years ago (when I started) hit me really hard today. Maybe I'm a sap, but I think this might be an ok book if an old cynic like me can tear up a bit reading my own shit.
Or maybe I forgot to take my pill?

Ok #Progressive #Political Friends, You're stoked about folks like #Mamdani winning in NYC! You should be, but I was once super inspired by a candidate named Barack Obama. Here's what I learned about what we did wrong with Obama, and how we can avoid these mistakes moving forward.
Buckle Up!

Speaker Johnson, this is only an issue if Trump has done something worthy of impeachment.
What you're implicitly saying is that you believe #Trump has already committed impeachable offenses, but you're party won't hold him accountable for that today.
You want Democrats to do your job for you.
