the no kings account that was taken down had only posted a total of seven times today though? for comparison, the magazine instyle shared 20 posts yesterday.
When accounts post, share or comment at very high frequencies it can trigger automated systems. That's what happened with the No Kings IG account in the lead up to today's day of action. Unfortunately, that automated action was clearly taken in error. Everything is now working as it should and we sincerely apologize.

Hey man you never know what’s happening in other cities but Tiktok is here to save us and let us know
Ben Affleck says the "high-school bullying" of Tom Cruise's "Digger" will only lead to Hollywood studios making more "sh*tty" movies.
"Everybody wants to celebrate this bomb as if it’s the most exciting thing to happen. And you think like, it’s a pretty ambitious, interesting movie made by interesting people who have talent. Everybody wants to count the money, what it lost or whatever. To me, I just think, if you punish movies that take risks, guess what you're going to get? A bunch of sh*tty homogenized movies. You cannot do something interesting without taking a big swing. And that means you're going to sometimes look bad." (via Happy Sad Confused)

The theater was packed. When it was finished the audience just sat there as the credits rolled. Stillness. You know how rare that is for people to not jump up and start yammering or scrolling or move on to the next thing? There was stillness and awe, gratitude and sorrow and astonishment both with the film and this world we have allowed.
This movie being slammed by reviewers is beyond comprehension. Anyone who is dragging this piece through the mud should get a brain scan or see it again as they must not have been paying attention. This is one of the most daring, original, provocative pieces of art I’ve seen and bravo to every person that laid a hand on it. I’d have given my right arm to be an extra in this movie (I’m right handed).
This craft, like many other things nowadays, feels in peril. The systems at play encourage mass appeal above all else. Digger is a battle cry for art, for waking up, for demanding an actual attention span of your audience and for the miracle of having a point of view. To horrify, delight, wildly surprise repeatedly and inspire us to fight for our world before it’s too late is an incredible accomplishment. Don’t listen to rotten tomatoes. Find an actual person who saw this movie. Listen to them. Tomato tomaaato! Fuck that stupid nonsense percentage bullshit. It’s so dumb. Go see this movie.
Thank you @diggerthemovie !

adding to the discourse: the test for whether a comms/social person is worth $500k ++ today is if they know what "orthogonal" means and cringes a little when a VP says it earnestly

just to be real the only way you'll get one of these editorial creative brand types is if they need a visa
anyone really good is getting really rich with services or as a creator or they are moderately successful with an incredible creative life they wouldn't leave behind for godforsaken tech work culture

The evolution of going direct:
Distribution was scarce, so the alpha was in building an audience
Then every company started posting all the time, and attention became scarce
Then attention became exploited with bait and slop, so now credibility is scarce
And there are no shortcuts for credibility
