@nanagazer For some reason i thought silent alarm was on a major but im wrong so it is also my biggest omission

[donald @Boringstein]

Weighing in on the list:

[Anthony DiMieri @anthonydimieri]

This is the way - invest in teams!

Campaigns tend to rely on one-(wo)man-bands for video and social (writing, directing, shooting, editing, managing social media pages, etc.), but a solid team is greater than the sum of its parts !

[Daniel M. Lavery @daniel_m_lavery]

I'm perfectly happy with a You've Got Mail reboot. why not make it a period piece? perhaps set in prewar Hungary at a leather goods shop

[donald @Boringstein]

@forcefieldpr all is forgiven then

[donald @Boringstein]

@forcefieldpr sorry your list has a critical flaw

[donald @Boringstein]

@foxxobel @electrolemon In a poem unlimited

[donald @Boringstein]

@dsperror Execution of all things specifically, i think after that i agree but that record is incredible

[donald @Boringstein]

@UnownPleasure Thank you, missed that + agreed!

[donald @Boringstein]

@fallenigloos imo screaming females occupy the same area as like dinosaur jr and are firmly on the indie rock side of the pendulum

[donald @Boringstein]

@electrolemon i first heard it a few months after it came out while i was working nights at trader joes and it was basically the only thing i listened to on the clock for like 3 months straight

[donald @Boringstein]

@ORiaghain easily in my top 5 if i were to waste a day on this

[donald @Boringstein]

all in all wildly disagree with a lot of the list as with any list BUT it is interesting some massive recency bias aside which is all you can ask for with these exercises

[donald @Boringstein]

add cloud nothings attack on memory to that first slide plz

[some ambient loser @purityolympics]

my main contribution to the "best indie rock" discourse is reminding everyone of this stone cold classic

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Companies like Amazon build business models around denying workers their rights and make our streets less safe.

It's time for that to change.

Let's pass the Delivery Protection Act.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.

All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

[donald @Boringstein]

@mehdirhasan need to shout out our team’s brilliant Director of Video (and co-cinematographer here) @oliviaLbecker, along with our incredible colleagues who put together this beautiful celebration

[donald @Boringstein]

this was a very fun & special one to work on, Happy Diwali NYC

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Wishing you a very happy Diwali, New York City.

[Grayson Kisker @GraysonKisker]

Last week I listened to this Fred Again song a bunch thinking about the emotion on election night.

Huge shout out to Bryan, Chris and Joe for the gorgeous captures here that made this piece shine!
