Really great thread here and this essay is wonderful. It makes me feel more sane for being long repulsed by this ghoul of a show.

It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover. It is the logic of the assembly line applied to human connection. What Fallon offers is a standardized production of “fun” that feels increasingly like a desperate plea to ignore the crumbling world outside the studio walls.

At 24, she discovered pulsars. The Nobel Prize went to her male supervisor. Jocelyn Bell Burnell spotted the signals that changed astronomy. Decades later, she received a $3 million physics prize. She gave it all away to help underrepresented students become scientists. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

SNL, it's really not a good look to make fun of Gen Z kids and their slang. You are adults, you are punching down, and you look like cranky old dinosaurs. (Thinking about a sketch I saw like 2 years ago. Are they still doing those?)

This is a very good point and the thing to understand is that’s not what’s happening on either side. The republicans are identifying all the people they want to target for degradation and a repeal of their civil rights. The democrats are giving a list of who they’re okay to do that to.

You all. My book is out. You can buy it and everything. You can ask your library to carry it. You can put it in tiny libraries by the side of the road. Nobody can stop you. It's available in all the places, but you can get signed copies here: schulerbooks.com/authorarmoxon Go do the thing!

A promotional image for Fighting in the Dark, by AR Moxon.

On the left side, a thumbnail image of the cover of the book, which features the title in blue text in a diagonal, and the authors name in white.

To the right of this, two blurbs, the first of which reads:

"There's a think A.R. Moxon does that I've watched other political writers try and fail at: he holds fury and tenderness in the same sentence. He names the traps fascism sets for us (the false unity, the offer of easy complicity, the fake peace that asks you to pretend people aren't being hurt) more clearly than anyone I've read. This is the book I've been handing out piecemeal for two years, finally in one place."
-Parker Molloy, The Present Age

the second blurb reads:

"In this absolutely brilliant marriage of storytelling and political insight, Andrew isn't afraid to speak truth to power. In fact, he gets up in its face in the middle of the cafeteria and challenges it to a fight."
-Wil Wheaton, author of Dancing Barefoot and Still Just a Geek

I'm going to wade slightly off topic. Because a thing that annoys me about publishing also annoys me very much about film. So, I'm going to address both. These industries have set up in NYC and LA. Hollywood also built satellites in Atlanta (before it bounced to London due to Trump policies).

panel 1. Night, in sparse woods outside a tall fence. Randal is walking away.

Randal: You've done all you can for them.
Simane: But I opened all the cages! Whatever happens is my fault!
panel 2. Randal grabs Simane's arm as she turns to go back toward the gate. her face is tense with pain and fear.
Randal: Don't go back! Listen! You-- you saved us. You're not one of them. They know what Arturo is now. Maybe... they'll wise up and clear out. Or maybe they'll try something even more stupid than before. Whatever they choose... it's not up to you. You know this.
Panel 3. Randal stands facing Simane, with hands on her shoulders.
Simane: But--
Randal: You can't help them. They won't let you.
panel 4. Randal walks away into the darkness.
Randal: All you can do is save yourself. Go.
panel 5. Simane presses a fist to her face in anguish.
panel 6. Simane runs down the road, away from the fenced compound.

This whole stupid fraud panic is just a cover for racism. 100% racists letting loose with their barely suppressed bigotry. Suddenly now it's always "Somali fraud." Even when they just say "fraud." And now all fraud is somehow directly out of taxpayer pockets. It's "welfare queens" all over again

"Truth is not self-sustaining. It does not prevail simply because it is true. Justice does not erase what happened, and memory does not preserve itself. Truth and justice must be documented, defended, remembered, and passed on. We have to fight for them." Excellent piece. Recommended.

Why is Hollywood full of liberal snowflakes? Is it because acting requires strong sensitivity and empathy? Is it because the training requires a lot of education? Or is it secret brainwashing by west coast granola surfers? I suppose we’ll never know

Yeah, a thing I am trying to educate folks on within the industry is that tbe early Internet technologies (the tech itself, not companies or apps) were not advertised at *all*, and in fact big companies fought them and were overtly skeptical? And they succeeded anyway. It’s the opposite of AI.
