This might be influenced by how often I've heard the opening titles watching the shows over the tears, but The Daily Show's use of "Dog on Fire" by Bob Mould and Last Week Tonight's use of "Go" by Valley Lodge are indelible in my mind now.

Didn’t really love the Rob Reiner/Albert Brooks doc but I have had one quote from it in my head for a year. My agent said to me, ‘I don’t know why you always take the hard road.’ And I said: ‘You think I see two roads?’”

It's hard to talk about something if we can't see how insidious ideas got there in the first place. A history of antisemitism to illuminate where harmful anti-Jewish tropes remain alive in our discourse today-- and how to pull them out of legitimate political conversation. My latest:

To my mind, the best argument for a headphone jack is one that I haven't seen raised yet: Hi-Res Lossless Audio is (currently) only possible with wired headphones. But that also doesn't require the jack, and with a few years' evolution USB-C becomes the industry standard, even for headphones.

Always good to remind folks that, whether it's done against the Israeli government's actions or in support of the Israeli government's actions, equating Israel with Jews writ large is antisemitic.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Since many new folks joined recently: some tips if your feed feels empty First: follow more people! But how? The easiest way is feeds. It's over <--- there by the menu. Feeds are made by their owners (mostly not bsky), and surface posts based on their topic. Some are high-volume. Some are niche.

It's not based on previously-published media. Similarly, the category has consistently included true stories like KING RICHARD, THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7, JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH, VICE, GREEN BOOK, THE BIG SICK, and STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON. SPOTLIGHT won, despite being about newspaper articles.
