I went to bat for this show so hard y'all (wrote articles promoting it, at my job at Netflix promoting Netflix's shows) x.com/lydiaetc/sta...

i hate feeling like i’m bragging! but maybe everyone’s asleep now, so screw it! while i was at netflix, i went to bat for heartstopper — a queer, feel-good series made by and for young lgbtq+ people — very early on and every day, because i knew it would be a life-affirming hit

i’m extremely proud of everything I wrote for tudum, but i’m especially proud that i championed this show from day one and got the chance to cover it. if you’re interested, here’s my interview with creator alice oseman:

also talked to executive producer patrick walters last week about bisexual lighting :)

just a disclaimer: i was not a part of the amazing team that created the show, nor did i have the kind of pull or power to bring it onto netflix! i just helped cover and prioritize it, bc i thought heartstopper (+ its fanbase) deserved that kind of strategy, attention, & content

just saw a link to a "Tudum" blog post hyping the dumb new nuke movie and chuckled again remembering the mass delusion among both laid-off Netflix marketers and people at actual media outlets about the Important Journalism that they had been doing

fake Cracking the Cryptic video thumbnail "Introducing the Shitoku" with Mark looking distraught and a puzzle with a bunch of poop emojis on it

maybe do a bit more brainstorming on the name, guys, "Introducing the Shitoku" sounds like a Cracking the Cryptic video about some gimmick turd-shaped puzzle

Occupy was pretty foundational for the modern American left (derogatory)

the building codes are written in crayon

excerpt from https://www.centerforbuilding.org/elevators:
In the 2006 edition of the IBC, the length of the stretcher to be accommodated was raised to 84 in., or 7 ft. (2.13 m). The code change was proposed by a member of the Glendale Fire Department, in Arizona, where there are still very few apartment buildings with elevators. The firefighter who proposed it said that he was concerned that a sports arena being constructed would have elevators that would not accommodate his local emergency responders' stretchers extended into a fully flat position. The cost impact was stated simply as "None." "Just think about if the patient was you," the proponent concluded in his reason statement. There was some debate and tweaking of the language that year and in a subsequent version at the urging of the elevator industry, but the proposal ultimately survived in a modified form, incrementally increasing the capacity of multifamily elevators to today's typical 3,500 lbs.

imo you deserve to be antagonized if you're going to go apeshit when someone creates a minuscule sample of the public firehose of the locked-open network that you blast all your posts onto

oh, for what it's worth: the block of users that we lost to this is all the more academic AI people. having them on twitter is probably worth somewhere in the billions of dollars to elon personally
