Bong Joon Ho’s wild Mickey 17.

MICKEY 17
If you were going to try to box Bong Joon Ho into a corner (and I’d advise against it), that corner might be stories about those on the margins.

Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.

Is it true Trial By Content has been canceled?
That makes me very sad if true. Is there a write in campaign to save the show. One of my favorite pods.

Mark Harris with the smart take. Just accept he’s smarter than most of us.
"This place is just an echo chamber."

If you feel it is, follow a greater variety of people. But also, the idea that social media is a failure if we reach only kindred spirits is dumb. Kindred spirits are great! The function of this place is to be an info source and a mild pleasure. It's not a job!

I don’t listen much to ESPN’s baseball broadcast because I find the whole production distracting from the game.
Ravetch is overly reliant on stats. The play by play guy has to see the whole game and frame a story or narrative. He’s terrible at that. Gary Cohen is the best at it. #LGM #METS
