You know what's NOT up for debate? "It's Up For Debate: An Evening with Charlie Rose Presented by Polymarket, featuring Andrew Yang & Marjorie Taylor Green" would be the worst possible first-date activity ever. And I say that as someone who was once taken on a date to see William F. Buckley Jr.

I realize that not all authors can afford a pro headshot, but please don't use a photo that has been heavily processed with AI to make it "look better." It just makes me suspicious what else you might be using AI for.

I'm sitting on a bench looking out at Alcatraz Island, and can't help but wonder... what ever happened to the plan of turning it back into a prison? Did it get lost in the shuffle of building a ballroom and adding another head to Mount Rushmore?

@jamessanford.bsky.social I'm sure you remember this one...
James Burrows’ legacy as a director included more great sitcom episodes than probably anyone else in the history of television, and also one of the worst LGBTQ+–themed feature films ever made. RIP. #filmsky 📽

@peterhartlaub.bsky.social Have you ever noticed this cool 49ers parking sign on Pacific? I can't believe I never spotted it before! Guessing it's from Candlestick?

As someone who's been following the late night TV scene since the 90s, I find the fact that Fallon will most likely be the last host standing to be a bummer. This article is a bit hyperbolic, but an interesting read nevertheless. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...
The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon
Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.

if you are a bigot or support bigotry or act in a movie built on the profits of hate, people are allowed to not like you 1. because bigotry is bad and 2. because people generally DONT LIKE THINGS THAT HURT THEM. like this is so obvious. it is not 'canceling' it is an exercise in basic human autonomy
