Hi! I’m Rise!

About a week ago, I launched aboard the Artemis II mission with four of my besties. Since then, I have been serving a very important purpose aboard the Orion spacecraft… I float. (And I look cute.)

Today, I am taking over the Artemis social media accounts! -Rise

Remains one of my all time favorite shows. Better made than alot of shows for its time and even alot of shows today. Jack Bauer my goat. Chloe my big homie. Palmer always had me in good hands. Logan I love you and I hate you. The twists, the action, the shenanigans. Goated.

I recently rewatched the first season.
Some of the best television you’ll ever find.
Most shows today struggle to be a compelling narrative across 8 or 10 episodes. This show manages to do so with 24 episodes.

Romney absolutely is a problem even if he isn’t the problem. If he wants the GOP to move forward, he needs to shut up and disappear.

Here's the thing, though: There was a Trump era. There will never be a Christie era.

[Everybody is Insane @colorblindk1d]

@politicalmath @bonchieredstate @KenGardner11 The anti-Trump Republicans who sabotaged DeSantis in 2020 because they thought Nikki Haley had a chance are some of the most detestable human beings in America.

If you’re right wing and you can’t admit liberals (not communists) are way better at art and design and boutique coffee shops and restaurants, you’re not living in reality.

If you’re left wing and you can’t admit conservatives are way better at running cities and businesses and police departments, you’re not living in reality.

You step inside a beautiful coffee shop in the PNW and think “man, these liberals are great at this stuff…conservatives should take notes.” Then the moment you step outside and trip over a homeless drug zombie shooting up fentanyl on the sidewalk, you think “man these liberals are terrible at this stuff…they should really take notes from conservatives”

Communists make disgusting anti-beauty art, but classical liberals aren’t like that. Put the libs in charge of the coffee shops, put the conservatives in charge of city hall. This is how you get a city that is beautiful, clean, and functional.

If you can’t accept that, you need to check your tribalism. We are never getting rid of each other, so figure out how we strike a balance or else the communists swoop in and take everything from us while we quarrel over stupid bullshit…which is exactly what’s happening now.

Update — these children deleted their racist post.

I had constraints in government on what I could say. They are over.

25 years ago today, 24 premiered on @FOXTV, introducing us to Jack Bauer⏱️Real-time storytelling, split screens, insane cliffhangers, and waiting an entire WEEK for the next episode.

DAMMIT, that was good TV 💥

[Robert Littal BSO @BSO]

When it was cooking, there wasn't a better show in the history of TV.

@boomerwatch2020 @colorblindk1d So then wouldn’t doctors be evil too?

24 remains my favorite show ever and Season 5 should legitimately be considered one of the greatest seasons of television history.

[This Here Snakeskin Jacket @SFlipp]

@Sharp_Side_ Season 1, too.

[Geoff Magliocchetti @GeoffJMags]

My family got into 24 around the 4th season. We exchanged DVDs of the first three years like they were sacred Bible scrolls. It was amazing

[Jon Cassar @joncassar]

The show that changed my life. I directed two episodes in season one. I was asked by showrunner Joel Surnow to come on board for the whole of season 2 as a director and producer. I accepted and spent the next 5 years directing close to 70 episodes and the TV movie 24 Redemption. I was surrounded by the best cast and crew in the business and given scripts by an exceptional writers room that wrote weekly stories that always ended with edge of your seat cliffhangers. If you’ve never seen it, check it out, if you were a loyal viewer, thx for the loyalty over the years.

(I realize I numbered these wrong, but whatever.)

24’s early run is up there for greatest network show ever. Sometime in 2004, just before S4 premiered, my parents rented the first disc of S1 from Blockbuster and were shocked when the story…just didn’t end. My dad rushed back out at 9 at night to get the rest of the season. 1/1

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

24 premiered 25 years ago.
Groundbreaking and gloriously ridiculous. Jack Bauer, who doesn't eat, sleep or pee, was iconic, and that CTU ringtone was EVERYWHERE.
24 was a riot: Kim Bauer vs nature, moles everywhere, conspiracies galore, hacksawing heads off... Might rewatch.

[This Here Snakeskin Jacket @SFlipp]

TV is a much lesser place without Jack Bauer. 6/6

[Mauty480 @Mauty480]

There really might not have been a more fortunately timed TV premiere in American history than this one right after 9/11

[Hulu @hulu]

25 years. 24 hours. Countless close calls.
