- Reposted by Brandon KingGeorgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon. A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website: www.georgiafort.com/support

- Reposted by Brandon KingI came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

They'll discuss the big news while raising money for charity organizations doing important work on the ground in Minneapolis. -> youtube.com/live/GMDTRkJ...
- Reposted by Brandon KingThis seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

- Not the biggest Golden Globes fan, but would like to thank them for two things: 1) Getting two wins for 'The Secret Agent' (cheering, screaming, etc.) 2) Finishing the show early so I could switch to ABC for the EXCELLENT last chunk of "That Thing You Do!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKRe...

- Putting out a potentially really stupid question, do forgive me: I understand the big reasons WHY Netflix/Paramount are bidding for Warner Bros. What I don't get is why WB - who from everything I'd read had a fairly strong 2025 financially - is going "yeah go ahead, we'd love to be bought out."
- Not my own band as my most played song (go stream ‘Wish’ by Cablebox lol) Also, another year dominated by film scores, this is not shocking, but some of the non-movie omissions are a bit perplexing (no Beatles, Black Country New Road, Florence + The Machine, etc.)

- Reposted by Brandon KingIf it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us. When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

- Reposted by Brandon KingIn light of Vanity Fair's recent idiotic decision, WaPo's offering its veteran critic a buyout, the NYT's "reassigning" three arts writers critics, etc., a lot of us are talking about the public's (and thus publications') lack of interest in criticism. It's part of a larger pattern of a war...
