Sources indicate that Eric Schmitt has found a new line of questioning to attack Jack Smith- was he actually at an NBA game in order to secretly meet with former president and then-point guard for the 1993 Charlotte Hornets Bill Clinton? 🤔

It's been a month since the release of my latest book, which means that my promotion will be slowing down. That said, I want to do one more thread. Because this book isn't just about BTAS, but about how valuable animation is as a creative medium. Here are my seven favorite pieces of animation:

I can almost guarantee that you can go to your college's radio station and get a show. I've even been doing radio versions of my lectures, putting the college back in college radio. These are underutilized assets that should be connected to academics!

@historyonfilm.bsky.social Hearing your guest say that Network isn't a leftist text because it doesn't offer a course of action got me thinking about the modern equivalent of screaming out your windows.
Can I get 10,000 QT's that say "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more!"?

Just got out of THE WEIGHT and really enjoyed it on the big screen. Can’t say I bought Bavaria as a stand-in for Oregon, but Ethan Hawke is tremendous as always, and it’s one of the best cinematic takes on the Depression since ROAD TO PERDITION.
