He doesn't even deny his son-in-law is a white supremacist. He simply claims it's out of bounds to ask about his support of white supremacy because he's family.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

1. This has been incredibly obvious and incredibly disheartening to anybody who watches even *close* to as much TV as I do. 2. I sense the regression for directing might be ever worse. 3. That fact that, without a TCA press tour, TV executives have basically NO visible accountability is... bad.

Same! I love the show so hard (generally) that I'm trying to cram a bunch of mentions of it into my next book -- Battlestar Galactica honcho Ron Moore worked at DS9 and BSG is in many ways an expansion of what that Trek show was trying to do.

I love to pre-empt people who want to talk about true repair, amends, reparation as being Too Woke by saying that much of @theradr.bsky.social 's book is based on 13th Century teachings--as we know, that was by far the enwokest century!

Mo Ryan @moryan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
And I'll YELL this again: if you want to understand making amends & true repair after damage, abuse, misconduct etc, read @theradr.bsky.social 's great book On Repentance & Repair. Real "doing the work," not the superficial, ego-fest version of that (they're not doing the work! most of the time!)

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:

The day the book drops
A scene from BSG, where the ship itself (pretty damn massive, think aircraft carrier x 5) "jumps" into the atmosphere, launches all fighting aircraft, and jumps away about 3 seconds before hitting the planets surface.

The last time I thought the best new show of the fall was a broadcast drama, the year probably had two zeroes in the middle of it (and it might have been "The Good Wife"). Meet "Cupertino." [giftie] www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/a...
