@TonyREast The Fever have no defense. Terrible job all around from the coaches to the players. Jobs should be lost.

I am old enough to remember when we were told that Sharon’s extremism was the biggest threat, and that replacing him with a less “reckless” leader would change everything.
Whenever there is a need to rebrand Israel, the same script is used.
PMs change, underlying policies remain.

@ManuclearBomb I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him in a real movie. I can’t think of one anyway.

Everyone treats this like it’s really difficult to solve when it’s not. Netflix shows just suck. So do their movies. There are exceptions for both, but generally speaking they make horrible stuff. That it’s taken this long for people to stop watching is what is most surprising.

[Matt Jarbo @mjarbo]

Bloomberg is reporting that Netflix’s biggest shows are losing massive chunks of their audience after season one.

Everyone is going to blame the binge model.

They’re not entirely wrong.

But the bigger problem is momentum.

Network TV used to give you 20-plus episodes a year. You watched all fall, took the summer off, and came back when the new season started. The show stayed in your life.

Netflix drops a giant expensive season in one weekend, everyone burns through it, talks about it for five days, and then the show disappears for two or three years.

That is how you turn hits into homework.

The answer is not more unscripted filler. It is not trying to invent a TV version of MrBeast. It is not flooding the app with more stuff people scroll past.

Netflix just needs to get its groove back.

Drop a season. Let it breathe. Give word of mouth time to work. Make the front page feel like a store worth browsing instead of the same five thumbnails being shoved in your face.

Amazon figured this out with shows like THE BOYS and FALLOUT. Build the habit. Keep people coming back. Stop treating every season like a spray and pray.

Netflix still knows how to make hits.

It just keeps burying them before they can become franchises.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Just not good enough. In trouble literally from the 1st minute. A clear regression from our first 4 matches. I think/hope the WC is still a substantial net positive for US soccer, but we have to aim higher.

Can’t remember the last episode of Game of Thrones (universe) that I’ve liked as much as tonight’s House of Dragon. Great stuff.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

Hillary lost Michigan. Kamala Harris lost Michigan. 77% of Democrats no longer have a favorable view of Israel and here you are tweeting endless support for an AIPAC-funded candidate who says Israel comes to her in her dreams and refuses to call Gaza a genocide.

All of this to try and elect Haley Stevens, who wants the slaughter of Arab and Muslim children to continue unabated. There must be a word for this.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

So Israel planted spy devices by the White House, tried to do the same inside a Secret Service car, & now has tried to undermine US peace efforts with an assassination plot... BUT SOMEHOW they are "our greatest ally" & American taxpayers must keep funding their war crimes 🙄🤬

@RomeovilleKid A 24 year old missing considerable time due to nagging back pain is concerning to say the least. At least a knee injury offers surgical options. This may be a career long problem unfortunately.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🎙️ “You cannot coexist on genocide.”

Speaking at the IMEU Policy Project’s Project 2029 for Palestine event in Philadelphia, legal scholar and Rutgers University professor Noura Erakat argued that accountability is the foundation of any lasting peace.

Erakat warned that the dehumanization of Palestinians and racial supremacy used to justify their treatment are also normalizing broader forms of authoritarian governance in the U.S. and beyond. She called for accountability for political leaders, weapons manufacturers, and media institutions that enabled or normalized Israel’s genocide in Gaza, arguing that impunity only encourages future violence. “There is no future without accountability,” @4noura said.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

This is shameful @patrickgaspard. For the millionth time, the issue was not a “lack of empathy” or optics, it was the bombs Biden/Harris sent and pledged to send that were murdering hundreds of Palestinians a day. A position Harris still hasn’t apologized for much less reversed

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

anyone who's on good terms with party leadership should be primaried

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

Melat Kiros was fired for speaking out against the genocide in 2023.

Darializa Avila Chevalier was arrested for protesting genocide on Columbia's campus in 2024.

Both are headed to Congress in 2026.

If pro-Israel repression was supposed to intimidate them, it failed.

Here are the 22 Democrats who voted with Republicans to protect Trump's ability to get militarily involved in Lebanon:

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.

The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.

This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

They’re more militant about DSA than the Republican Party and that should tell you just about everything you need to know
