Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

The last 10 years of American politics have really played havoc with what the stakes can be in action and espionage shows. Like, exposure of misdeeds or corruption? That’s below the fold in the Times every day now.

OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

Santa Ana: I saw this movie in the theater when it was first released. It's a great documentary filled with startling insights. It is also a movie that is best viewed with an audience.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

This Day in Labor History: February 6, 1919. The Seattle General Strike began. Let's talk about this much mentioned but little understood event. Let's also talk about general strikes a bit, which are very misunderstood, even by activists, and why we don't have them today in their classic form.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?
I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

in so many ways MR. ROBOT was ahead of its time in its approach to character, understanding that every person is a dynamic blend of past, present, desire, regret, fury and loneliness; representation, but more. was just walking about the mosque scene the other day. a highlight in prestige TV.

It’s almost comforting that we can always count on the Times to raise this as news.

NY Times push alert that reads: Chaos at the D.N.C.
The Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in big donations, raising alarm as the party tries to win back power.

I know we have all theoretically moved on from Russiagate, but what in the kompromat is this?!

From The NY Times: "There's obviously an ongoing negotiation with Russia and Ukraine, and I think the president made the decision not to conflate the two issues." Russia pays no tariffs under the president's current system;
Ukraine, the victim of Moscow's 2022 invasion, pays 10 percent.)
