I think Orville peck dropped him
"When in doubt, draw a distinction."
Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that.
This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one.
I will post them one at a time. Ready?
Tweet from Paul Farhi: Per former colleagues at the @washingtonpost: In a Zoom meeting today, Post foreign staff was told by editors that up to *half* the Post's newsroom will be cut imminently. Biggest cuts to foreign and sports staff. Sickening. 1:30 PM • Jan 26, 2026
A bloodbath at The Washington Post. What a terrible day for journalism.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
I never thought I would say Iheartradio, righton! but this seems good.

“Stuff keeps happening while we’re talking to the managers” OH REALLY
Maybe Amazon web services shouldn't be advancing the narrative that we support everything after this weeks outage?
It's the purest contemporary franchise in this way. No one really cares, the lore is inconsequential/nonsensical, but some proprietary and incorrect numbers suggest it's worth making another one. The result looks decent and gets some talented people paid. Cool. Two more Event Horizon movies please.
Naw, musicians are more genre agnostic than their audiences. Game recognizes game so of course WS artists would borrow from everywhere.

The WHUS logo is centered prominently, with “91.7 FM WHUS” written across the figure’s chest and arm. At the bottom, text reads “STORRS, CONNECTICUT.”

an ouroboros of bullshit
This is true. Its why some LLMs believe its 2024, there was less slop then.
The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms won’t touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state. presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...
I'd also love to see this bib. I'm working on a project that examines how the circulation of ideas about radio formatting in the 1950s anticipated contemporary dynamics of algorithmic culture
Bowser removed the BLM plaza installation months ago.
I bet they had some kind of heads up. FYI if you are writing on LR or GH, Fran Striker's papers are at the University of Buffalo.
One of the most remarkable (but saddest) things I ever found in a archive were Raymond Muramoto's hand edited scripts from the Green Hornet (he played Kato) which suddenly disappeared when he was sent to the internment camps during WWII.
