Nathan: Do you understand why this is scary? Elizabeth: The girl is sick? Nathan: Sorta. The girl’s head is on backwards and she says the priest’s dead mother will perform fellatio for all eternity. Billy: [listening to Mein Kampf at 3x speed]: The 19th Amendment was a mistake

I actually think Netflix is suffering right now for the opposite reason. From the newsletter yesterday:
People are losing the attention span to even watch 30 minute TV shows as short form video eats the world.

This is true, and only made worse by Substack-style models that are driven by subscriptions to personalities rather than publications. And that’s the intent, the parasocial element is a feature, not a bug
The craziest thing about everything going on at The Ringer is the absoltuely insane parasocial relationship people continue to have with podcasters, some of you people are fucking nuts, man

These Daily Mail stories aren’t just tabloid trash, they’re simply made up. Up and down the White House, everyone has been thoroughly impressed with Katie in just a few short days on the job. At the end of this second term, she’ll be remembered as one of the all-time greats.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

What he says is completely contradictory: “I know a lot of Russian filmmakers, they have a lot more freedom than I have. All they have to do is be careful about criticizing the government.”

1. The joke did exactly what Gillis intended it to do. No need to pretend he’s a victim of backlash. 2. I wonder if there’s anything in Weigel’s past that might bias him here
The "Shane Gillis outrage" cycle is 98% fake, just outlets grabbing what B to D list celebrities posted on Instagram. Total waste of time. Listen to @whoweekly.

Peter Thiel has never thought much of Chicago so maybe it's no surprise he would slam Chicagoans Obama and the Pope. In 2016, during a speech in Chicago, Thiel stated, "If you are a very talented person, you have a choice: You either go to New York or you go to Silicon Valley."
