Lol, it takes a bit for that one to find its rhythm but you'll dig it once the ensemble really develops.

A reminder, since rando bros are dropping in to announce their boycott, thinking we’re pro-AI like one of our producers.

C. Robert Cargill @crobertcargill.bsky.social · 6d

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Calling Young Republicans the “youth wing“ of the party doesn’t capture how bad this is.

No excuse at any age but some might be tempted to chalk it up to age. Membership age for this org. is 18 to *40*. Some have jobs in government. We’re not talking abt high schoolers.

“Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined”

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

While I've been getting ready to record a #WatchWithJen episode on Stephen King Movies this wk with the brilliant S.A. Cosby & William Boyle, I've found myself watching beyond the titles we chose initially & thought I'd ask you. What are your favorite underrated Stephen King adaptations? TV counts!

"Died from cancer" brings the attention back to the person, which is where it belongs.

Gentle reminder you don't need to talk about the cause of death as a battle or someone diagnosed with something as going through a fight because in battles, there are winners & losers. The implication might be unintentional but it's giving the power to the disease. Keep the focus on the person.

For those who don’t intimately understand how news works and why Bari Weiss’s unearned elevation to head of CBS News matters, I’d recommend watching this in entirety. Also, will forever point out irony of how an admitted DEI hire thinks her hire was meritorious while Black people’s aren’t.

An opposition party who wants to win elections should run ads featuring these headlines and videos of ICE agents assaulting people. Say you’re going to make sure people face consequences for this type of behavior and hold public hearings over it.

Nick Kristof @nickkristof.bsky.social · 1d

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

The best way to start the day is by talking about all things BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER with my brilliant friends Jessica Ellis & Elizabeth Cantwell for an upcoming episode of #WatchWithJen pod. You'll hear other voices in it as well, incl. Elizabeth's insightful son Cooper who's new to the series.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

One of the reasons I especially love guesting on the @watchwithjen.bsky.social podcast is the episode subject matter is always something I'm excited to do homework on. Very fun to collaborate on these topics
