Oscar-winning filmmaker: Street Fight, Racing Dreams, If a Tree Falls, A Night at The Garden, The Neighbors’ Window. “Cynicism is a form of cowardice."
“This is our country and it’s the only one we have. The only thing we should fear is that we will surrender our homeland to be plundered by a gang of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. That we will surrender without a fight...” -Navalny https://t.co/fJO9cWCbOm
@jonathanchait@saletan What’s so unsettling in re-reading this now is that it describes Trump in past tense, as a threat we survived. “Cynics sometimes say that American democracy survived Trump’s presidency because unlike successful autocrats in other countries, he was too stupid and self-absorbed…”

@mattyglesias Per Claude: “Red Flags Press is a right leaning Fla-based 501(c)(3) that publishes anti-socialism materials. Its flagship book is a 230-page volume filled with quotes from prominent socialist thinkers, aimed at arguing that socialism is a “Sham, Absurd, and Dangerous” philosophy.
Having six continents represented at the Oscars today isn’t actually that impressive because they had all seven 20 years ago when MARCH OF THE PENGUINS won
Had a great screening of our new documentary, THE NEW YORKER AT 100 with Judd Apatow (EP), David Remnick (NYer editor), and our whole production team! The film is a celebration of fact-based journalism which feels under siege these days... Now on Netflix! @NewYorker
Really nice review in @Variety of my new documentary about The @NewYorker. "Nimble and infectious...a backstage tour of how the supremely refined sausage gets made."
At the @IFCCenter this week -- I'll be doing a QA there tonight. https://t.co/ej7bEYw2IF
Breathtaking... Trump, about the murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi : “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen.” https://t.co/soJYOx2UzQ
One hundred years of intrepid journalism, generation-defining fiction, and unforgettable cartoons. Take a peek behind the curtain at how our magazine gets made in "The New Yorker at 100,” premiering on December 5th on Netflix.
Great time at the News and Doc Emmys last night. Didn’t take home the hardware but enjoyed celebrating the nomination with Anand Varma and Brent Kunkle of our doc about Anand’s amazing photography- Hidden Wonders - on Nat Geo/Disney+.
Great time w @CoryBooker at @Tribeca 20th Anniversary screening of Street Fight. Distressing though that stuff that seemed shocking in Newark 20 yrs ago—officials shaking down businesses, flooding the zone w lies, etc.— are commonplace from today’s White House
This is one of those before/after hinge moments in human history. There should be ticker tape parades and church bells ringing everywhere.
