unfortunately the path to right wing sainthood is extremely clear for elizabeth holmes. at this point i'd be surprised if it didn't happen

Steve Senski's Watching Night Gallery@stevensenski.bsky.social

A lifesize bronze statue of Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert is coming to Chicago's Prudential Plaza in 2028. The statue will be installed outside of the plaza's north entrance. It will give fans a chance to sit in two theater seats & take a photo with the bronze figures of the legendary film critics.

the musk documentary wasn't all that tbh. gibney struggles to get his arms around the topic and provide any new perspective. also gets caught up in anti-clever narrative gimmickry. gibney simply not the guy for this job

This isn’t good, but it’s not meaningfully worse than a lot of Netflix stand-up either. Political triangulation has a lot of people doing both vigorous clapter and sanctimonious anti-clapter

This is this promotional material that Netflix is using for Theo Von’s new special. Who is laughing at this?

social media shouldn't be fun, because it shouldn't exist. the benefit of bluesky is that, relative to other social media platforms, it's far closer to not existing
