Watched Conner O’Malley’s The Mask last night and it might be the funniest, most distressing and succinct diagnosis on ~All of This~ I’ve seen yet. Nails such a specifically minor but increasingly threatening kinda guy on like a molecular level lmao

Incredible stuff

Last week CNN asked me how I explain the downturn in the news industry: big layoffs, scant investment, no recovery in sight.

A list of factors is not an explanation, I said. But that is what I have.

So here's my thread. None of it should be news to people in the business. 0/
