I think most guns should be abolished. That being said, I love when the left steps onto territory the right thinks they own. Wonder what they think to see someone with a Trans support patch at a gun range. Prolly uncomfy.

Earlier this year, I attended a shooting competition for queer, often trans, very online misfits. Then Charlie Kirk was killed.

I'm living in the city, inner city not a farm
Steady bombing til I get fatigue in my arm
Watchin for the beast cause many artists they shot 'em
And beat em in the yards, while doin a top to bottom
So pass me a can, not of Old Gold
But full blue, sky blue, watch me unfold

I was at my cousin's house the first time I came across MST3K. Literally walking past the TV with the show playing. I was mesmerized. I wanted the show injected into my veins.
November 22, 2018: #mst3k season 12 debuted on Netflix. The very first (KTMA) episode had aired nearly 30 years earlier, on Nov 24, 1988.

The dude is guilty as sin. Still, I'm curious why he just didn't refuse to sign the release of the files. He's obstructed smaller things, why not now?

Great article. This is something nobody tells you when you first work on a show -- the writers around you will go on to create their own shows. They become part of your network tree and eventually you'll become a branch yourself with offshoots of your own.
For The Ringer, I wrote about the best TV coaching trees, from series that did the best job of finding and nurturing writers and/or directors who would go on to make great shows of their own:
Which TV Show Has the Best Coaching Tree?
Vince Gilligan is eternal proof of the strength of the ‘X-Files’ writers room. But frankly, that room has a ton of competition across television history.

Anyone ever try to go the other way -- live action to animation? Like, an animated Taxi Driver or Dog Day Afternoon? Or an animated The Sweet Hereafter?

Huge scoop from Ed, who had several years of financial reports leaked to him. OpenAI has been over-reporting their revenue. The company is even less profitable than we knew.
Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.
