@Variety Breaking Bad understood something important about its audience. Some fans do not just want to watch a story. They want to lounge inside it, live with the characters and feel like they know them over time. I can still hear Jesse Pinkman would say 'Mr. White!'

Nicolas Cage seems to take his roles seriously, and I like most of what he has done. I am a fan, nevertheless. I think he is going to crush this role because a man portraying a spider needs a bit of Cage’s cool, strange and stunning awkwardness. #TeamCage

In one week, B Reilly Investigations is open for business. This is the final trailer for “Spider-Noir,” arriving May 27 on Prime in Authentic Black & White and True-Hue Full Color

@iXeons1 @DiscussingFilm That was the funniest scene ever!

[Trenay Perry Bynum | My classroom is wherever I am @TLPBynum]

@RottenTomatoes Yes. Let's watch this. Excellent reference to the FLY - Jeff Goldbloom was awesome in the film.

Regardless of who is in charge in our workplace or government. WE can show Kindness, Decency and Understanding.

Imagine what it's like to be hated, misunderstood.

Forget politics for a sec. Watch Obama acts of kindness.

@RealEmirHan I can watch this movie over and over.

[Trenay Perry Bynum | My classroom is wherever I am @TLPBynum]

A favorite scene.

Eddie Murphy, as Jimmy Early, shows what happens when you don't know your audience and misread the room.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Eddie Murphy left the 2007 Oscars after losing best supporting actor for Dreamgirls:

“Clint Eastwood came & rubbed my shoulder. I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, I’m not gonna be this guy all night. Let’s just leave. I’m not gonna be the sympathy guy all night.'”

[Trenay Perry Bynum | My classroom is wherever I am @TLPBynum]

@BestMovieMom Absolutely. It was chilling.

[Trenay Perry Bynum | My classroom is wherever I am @TLPBynum]

@SDPInstitute ARGH! I regret missing these sessions.

Research on voter mobilization highlights something communicators already know:

Relationships move people.

That insight applies far beyond politics to community engagement and strategic communication.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35, NIV.) Have a great week! 💙

Zee reflects on this in her TEDxYouth talk. Thinking about the long-term effects of digital immersion on teens This may offer another lens.

Reading Kaley’s testimony in the #MetaTrial. K.G.M. reportedly used Instagram up to 16 hours a day. That is not scrolling; that is a shift, a habit.

The story feels uncomfortably familiar. During COVID years, our home had its own 7th-grade reckoning w/ screens and social media.

[Trenay Perry Bynum | My classroom is wherever I am @TLPBynum]

We handled it differently than K.G.M.’s family. Structure replaced silence. Conversation accompanied confiscation. Boundaries = care.
