@screendrafts.bsky.social finally listening to the WS Anderson draft. As always, Jordan is my spirit animal. BUT i vehemently disagree with the boosters. Mortal Kombat is number one. With a fireball

He’s a child. The president is a gigantic child.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins.
DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

How Trump Upended 60 Years of Civil Rights in Two Months

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Awesome episode. Tenebrae is too low for me even if it was number 4. It’s that at 1 and deep red at 2 for me. Disagree with @daveschilling.bsky.social but loved the convo

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Wanna give a shout out to Roman Reigns for declaring his support for Donald Trump, followed immediately by getting low blowed and curb stomped and looking like he wanted to cry as he hobbled out of the ring dejectedly #wrestlemania

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Yup. If you’re afraid to do the job then you shouldn’t have the job

I'm a one-issue voter in the 2028 presidential election (besides that I'd like to have one), and that's: You will solemnly swear to put these Nazis on trial. All of them.

Gotta say my heart sank when @claykeller.bsky.social announced legends of tomorrow at number 2. The first time screen drafts hurt my heart. Well the second time. I’m trying to forget the John Carpenter draft

I’ve said for a long time that we are the dumbest country in the history of this planet. Why? Because we refuse to learn from history and constantly think we’re smarter than everyone else

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

New York's crooked mayor won't be held accountable for likely criminal violations because the U.S.'s crooked president tried to leverage that accountability to do his own crooked shit and a court had to intervene. Democracy at its finest.
