The new movie Tár (https://t.co/pfzsNWEvWK) has the best content warning ever in the NYTimes: "R rated. Violent dissonance." Really? I don't think Mahler's dissonance deserves an R. Ok, maybe Schönberg's an R, but Mahler's safe at PG13.

Isn't it ironic that what the American film and tv industry calls 'adult entertainment' is mostly entertainment for adolescent boys who never grew up?

[Jay David Bolter @jaybolter]

@ibogost Yes! I want my own podcast and my latte at the same time.

Question for the left: If multinationals corporations have usurped the role of national governments, why are they allowing Trump to dismantle the global trading system? https://t.co/vjtdF2BRkO

[Jay David Bolter @jaybolter]

Question for the right: If deregulation is so good for business, why do major companies such as GM and BP oppose Trump’s deregulation policies? https://t.co/2GHp40VSLr

Social media can spread lies and conspiracy theories. But it’s not just the content; it's also the form of services such as Twitter and Instagram that makes them dangerous for politics, writes @jaybolter: https://t.co/xeHNC86PAQ

“All you've got to know is this: right now the government of the United States is sitting on top of the Washington Monument, right on the very point, tilting right and left and ready to fall off and break up on the pavement…”
