Devastating. Such an incredible talent — a modern day Mel Blanc! In @CoyoteACMEMovie he voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn, Elmer Fudd and others

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

If you agree with me (as you should) that fall is the best season, then you'll also agree with me that today was the most beautiful day of the year.

I wish YouTube would stop messing with everything for no reason. Making it harder for audiences to see their subscriptions, will put creators more at the whims of the “algorithm”homepage. Leading to weaker long term engagement/community building.

Astonishing. I've been tracking Trump admin corruption and self-dealing for the last 20 months. Here are 10 stories (!!!) from just the last three weeks. Literally. Every single one from October.
JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"

Of course, of course: "Trump turned the government into an investor. Democrats have shopping plans, too." semafor.com/article/10/21/20… "We’re through the looking glass" "The sky’s the limit" "The Trump administration has opened up Pandora’s box"

Great to see wider Marvel/Disney fandom discover writer-producer @TerryMatalas’ work Since 2015 when 12 Monkeys premiered, there hasn’t been a bad time to engage with his top-tier sci-fi — and agreed that A.I. themes particularly relevant today
This show is so timely, if it came out two years ago this would not be hitting as well.

Further reminder that Harrison Ford just plays himself in movies.
I once heard Mark Hamill talk about STAR WARS at a panel, and he said during A New Hope they shot the film out of order, so he was extremely particular about the continuity of the movie. While filming, he realized in the previous scene they shot much earlier they were just in the wet garbage compactor, but now, moments later, his hair would be dry. So he leaned over to Harrison Ford, worried about how his hair should actually be wet, stating mistakes like that would take people completely out of the movie. Harrison Ford turned to him and dryly said, "Look, kid, if they're watching this movie and looking at your hair we're all in big trouble."

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER is a wonderful film, filled with as much nostalgia as A CHRISTMAS STORY - and maybe even more heart. It is destined to be an annual fave. My review: xitter.cf/popcornbucketXL/status…
Netflix hot take: their Nov. 1 streaming release of THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER will be a huge hit if promoted well. This funny and moving comedy is directed by Dallas Jenkins, creator of THE CHOSEN — millions of fans of that show missed its 2024 holiday theatrical run. 1/2

A completely unaccountable CEO shouldn't be making decisions of this profound geopolitical import. Decisions that so profoundly impact the foreign policy of the United States and the military capacity of Ukraine should be made by the U.S. and Ukraine, not a CEO.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

An adaptation of a well-known Christmas short story, it's propelled by slapstick and understated humor, often from comedian Pete Holmes (Family Switch)—with a third act that brings it home. The ensemble co-stars Judy Greer, Lauren Graham (GILMORE GIRLS) and a lively cast of kids.

Please check that "profound C. S. Lewis quote" before you reshare. Don't let the AI bots be smarter than you!
Replying to @DaveYostOH
@grok , please confirm whether (that) C. S. Lewis never wrote this or anything like it. And then feel free to speculate on the strange social media phenomenon of people spreading obvious fake Lewis quotes. Can anything be done?
