so much of streaming is built off this model - which makes sense given the volatility of the market - but explains why nearly every show now after season 1 has the feel of watching two dimensional caricatures who in no way resemble human beings

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

he should be cancelled for Nine Months

Norm Charlatan @normcharlatan.bsky.social · 17h

He made acclaimed films like the first two Home Alone films, The Goonies, and even Gremlins. But still the Left is trying to cancel his holiday because he directed two of the early Harry Potter adaptations.

Personally, I blame the dude in the butt plug shirt. That’s some unserious shithead energy to bring into big game.

As Democrats contemplate a 2026 or 2028 run and wonder what message will most motivate voters, they need to understand that the minimum opening bid is vengeance.

Justice for All - Truthdig

To restore the rule of law, Democrats must enforce the constitution with brass knuckles like there’s nothing to lose. Because there isn’t.

Here's Diane Keaton at Warren Beatty's AFI tribute, talking about a perfect (no exaggeration) scene in Reds--taking the mystique out of filmmaking and then putting it right back in, in just two minutes. She was exquisite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_RS...

If people online shriek “the umpires are worse than ever” on the 28th anniversary of the Liván Hernández/Eric Gregg game it will be extremely hilarious
