David Simon on the barriers "The Wire" (2002-2008) faced: "Interviewer: Do you think the fact you're telling stories in different ways than is traditional, and it has this darkness to it, was that the big barrier to the show becoming more popular than it was? Would you say it...

Lana Wachowski on the philosophy of "Bound" (1996) & whether the Lesbian theme helped the movie: "Interviewer: Do you think the lesbian theme ultimately helped or hindered the film? Wachowski: From a commercial standpoint? Interviewer: Yes. Wachowski: For whatever it was, it was about lesbians and we weren't going to change it. People asked us to change it. People at other studios would read the script and say, "If you change Corky to a man we're really interested." And we were like, well, that movie's been made a million times, so we're really not interested in it. And in terms of the movie overall, we think it works pretty well. (...) Interviewer: Was that the philosophy of the movie? You know, you mentioned all those great directors of the past. They all had a philosophy. What was your philosophy? Wachowski: We think that not only gay people or queer people live in closets. Everybody does. We all tend to put ourselves into these boxes, these traps. And so what we tried to do is we tried to define as many of the characters through the sort of trap that they were making out of their lives. Getting out of the closet was meant to take on a bigger meaning than just the typical gay meaning." (Wachowskis' interview with Nat Whilk and Jayson Whitehead, Gadfly, 1998)

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey Tells the Story of Anduril’s First Ever Product: “The Anduril Sentry Tank. It was a tracked firefighting vehicle the size of a tank… and it could protect critical infrastructure from wildfires.” “We built two full working prototypes, we were on the cover of Popular Mechanics and it said: ‘The Future of Firefighting’.” “I really believed that it was… then it turned out there were some political problems.” “There were some really strong unions that didn’t want robots to automate their jobs… the Governor was told that if they procured it, the unions would oppose him in the upcoming elections.” “There were people who told us this was going to be a problem, but back then I was more naive and optimistic.” “I said: ‘No, if you build it they will come.’ And I was wrong.” “We have two prototypes that sit underneath a tarp in a warehouse, waiting for the world to change.”

.DHH credits Marc Andreessen Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with helping him the most during the darkest time of his professional life: "It was during that rough going where Andreessen came in. We were a small company of 60 people and 20 took the offer and left. That's almost a third of the company that decided to leave and we got to a point where we were thinking that not many more have to leave before we need to worry about whether we can keep the lights on. And it was actually Tobi who then put me in contact with Marc Andreessen because Marc had been exposed to this phenomenon at some of his portfolio companies. And Marc gave us reassurance and a bunch of contacts. Marc said, "Do you need someone to come in to help do programming or help with operations or whatever?" And I was floored by the generosity because Marc and I haven't always seen eye to eye on things. Especially in terms of venture capital. He's been one of the main faces of venture capital for decades and I've been kind of critical at times. And it was just a realization that all those grievances we might have thought to be so big once upon a time were actually minuscule. We were fighting the white walkers on the other side of the wall and all our internal squabbles were going to be for nothing if those f*ckers got inside the wall and destroyed everything. And that felt like a real threat at the time. That could've happened. They could very well have just ripped the whole thing apart. And Marc clearly saw that that this was a collective, almost existential threat to the entire industry. If these activists were able to take over these institutions in the same way that they have taken over academia we would be f*cked and not just for a little while but potentially for decades. That couldn't stand. And Marc was incredibly helpful not just in terms of these contacts and introductions and so on but it was very powerful. When you have literally 40,000 people on Twitter calling you all the worst things in the world even the strongest individual might go for a second like "Holy sh*t. The mob is coming for me and there's no one else there." And there are other people there. Tobi was there. Marc was there. And it was incredibly helpful to give us the fortitude to go like "No do you know what? We're going to stick with it. We're not going to grovel. We're not going to apologize. We're not going to revert." And then what Marc also did was he gave me a syllabus for understanding the history of wokeness going all the way back to the '60s and beyond. That this didn't just come as lightning from a blue sky. This had an institutional grounding that was set in motion particularly in the '60s and the long march through the institutions, Herbert Marcuse and a lot of The Frankfurt School and all of these groups that had designs on how to reshape society and create the revolution they so dearly wanted, but with a timeline and a roadmap that was demarcated in decades. That it wasn't just like "Well we're going to put something together and then in two years something's going to happen." No they were sitting in the fucking '60s fantasizing about how to overthrow everything in the 2000s. It's actually incredible in a Dr. Evil sense of it but when you're on the receiving end of it it seemed a little less incredible and it was just difficult not knowing where's this coming from? Why is this happening all of a sudden? Well it wasn't happening all of a sudden. There was this long history of it and when you understood that history it made a lot more sense. We weren't just making a rejection for our little corner of the world. We were chipping in in the great civilizational battle of where this country was going to go, whether the white walkers beyond the wall were going to win. And we were like "No they're not going to f*cking win. Get them out of that f*cking wall. Take your goddamn spear and fire it with maximum velocity."

Doctors and hospitals murdered Covid-19 patients at the orders of Dr Anthony Fauci. 😡 In 2018, Remdesivir was too unethical to put into Ebola clinical trials in Africa because it had a 53% kill rate, published in medical journals. Ebola doesn't have a 53% kill rate, but it was chosen in April and May of 2020 to be the drug of choice to treat COVID. This drug was too unethical to use in an African clinical trial because it was killing 53% of the people that it was given to. We had Anthony Fauci, Deborah Burke sitting next to the President going, "we need to use Remdesivir", despite the fact that the World Health Organization said it was unethical to use it. The problem is, as long as the financial interest that dictates what product is going to be promoted is the one making the declaration of the pandemic, we have no possibility for accountability. We have no possibility for justice. And what we do is we allow people who were formed out of the eugenics office, Carnegie Mellon in 1913, that were the same group of people that established the World Health Organization in 1953. That same group of people are the ones who are making this decision. And I don't know how you feel about eugenics, but I have a problem with it.

Charles Kanjama: It is a groundbreaking ruling because it is breaking new ground. It is a ruling that, in my view, takes the country a bit backwards on issues of public participation. Personally, I am a bit disappointed on that issue, and I feel that on some of the other aspects that were dealt with by the court, there was a tendency to disregard part of the evidence that was there to challenge. I feel that this groundbreaking judgment of the court had a number of missteps that need to be addressed when the matter goes to the court of appeal #CitizenMondayReport

Idris Elba says he didn’t know Stringer Bell was going to die… and admits he’s never watched “The Wire.” Idris Elba: “I didn’t ever meet the real character. I took my inspiration for Stringer from people I knew in the UK. Gangsters that were more suits and smiles than, “Yo.”” Idris Elba: “They were understated, listened more than they talked, and moved with grace instead of trying to be big and tough all the time.” Idris Elba: “The scene where Stringer dies… It was a really tough scene to shoot because I didn’t know Stringer was going to die in that episode.” Idris Elba: “I was like, “What? Wait… what? He dies? What do you mean? It was quite a surprise. I think it was a good move for the show.” Host: “Looking back on the show, how do you think it holds up 20 years later?” Idris Elba: “Famously, I haven’t seen it. I’ve seen some parts of it, I think it holds up. The writing was so good, and the perspective of that part of America was crystal clear.”

Adam Silver on tanking in the NBA: “In terms of the tanking, there’s no question that what we saw this season was unprecedented. You talked a lot about it. Your colleagues have talked a lot about it. Again, I think a bit of a group think there obviously by definition it can’t be successful for all the teams that were engaging in that strategy. But on the other hand the analytics which all the sports are using today suggest that it’s a potentially a winning strategy and that is to race to the bottom in order to get higher draft picks. I think it was a bit of perfect storm this year. You have a perception of a very deep draft class, which it appears to be some great players coming into the league. And then even fans in particular cities and even media in those cities to a certain degree were rooting for their teams to tank and saying, you know, how well can your team be managed if you’re sort of just in the middle? You either got to be great or you got to let yourself get bad. And I think we had to respond not just to the narrative but to misalignment of incentives once sort of the guard rails came off and it was an accepted practice in this league.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Alex Proyas on the Commercial failure of 'Dark City' (1998) & its similarities with 'The Matrix' (1999): "Interviewer: Are you surprised by how big a cult film it has become? Proyas: I was surprised it didn't achieve commercial success initially, but I'm happy it has had this long-lasting life after the fact. I was pretty disappointed the studio hadn't really managed to sell the movie in the way that they could have. I don't think they really knew what to make of it quite frankly. The studio put out a trailer that was quite clever. It was completely non-narrative, just music and imagery. The guys who made the trailer specifically wrote a piece of music for the trailer, and the whole thing felt handcrafted and definitely had a personality. I think people were genuinely impressed by it but it didn't explain to them what the movie was or give them an idea of the kind of experience they were going to get. I think it made audiences think it was some kind of a horror movie. As a result people kind of overlooked it in the theaters. I know 99% of the people who loved it and always ask me about it are people who saw it on video years later. How do you feel about the similarities the later 'The Matrix' (1999) has to 'Dark City' (1998)? If I answer that question honestly it sounds like sour grapes because obviously 'The Matrix' did better commercially than 'Dark City' did. 'Dark City' came out a year before 'The Matrix', one of my producers on 'Dark City' worked on 'The Matrix', and the Wachowskis saw 'Dark City' a good nine months before 'Dark City' came out in the theaters, so they had a good run at picking the more important cherries off the cake. I feel like it's a question I can't answer in any more detail than that, other than to say that maybe the Wachowskis should be asked the question rather than me."

.Ben Lerer describes how chasing VC money took the joy out of running one of his early businesses: "Our first few years, we were profitable and stayed small. It was amazing. We had a small community of people that were diehard and advertisers who really felt the needle move, and it was wonderful." "What happened was: the space got attention from big VCs. People wanted to get in on the gold rush. A bunch of people raised a bunch of money, and I was one of them. The idea was - you have to grow into those valuations." "They were not fatal mistakes, but they were ultimately the thing that took a lot of the joy out of the business. We got obsessed with figuring out - how do you keep growing and how do you keep doubling year over year." "The way to do it right is to do what you love and stay relatively small and build a real community-based thing."

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the King of Queens. By the time I signed on as Carrie Heffernan, I had been to hundreds of auditions, was cast in many pilots and some short-lived series, and was finally offered The King Of Queens. As soon as production started on season one, I knew I was home, and I am blessed to say I was part of a truly special show that went on for nine seasons and 207 episodes and still lives on successfully in syndication. Our cast was amazing...Kevin James, Jerry Stiller, Gary, Patton, Victor, Nicole. They all made me laugh every day. Our gifted guest and recurring cast made the show what it is. Working with the cast, crew, and our awesome and dedicated writers and producers was a dream come true for an actress. I want to let you all know that I see the comments where you say that you fall asleep every night to The King of Queens, that it got you through a rough day and tough times in your lives, that you laughed for the first time in your day watching us, or that you watch several episodes a day, or that you and your family bond over watching the episodes in syndication. One fan commented that her family is a three-generation King of Queens household: her mom watches it, she watches it, and now her daughter watches it. It means the world to me, and I’m so grateful for this experience that lives on and on. #TheKingofQueens

Seth Rogen revealed that many studio executives care deeply about being thanked during award speeches because it’s often the only public recognition they receive for their work. Seth Rogen: And we were like, "Oh, no." And then we interviewed almost every head of every studio, kind of past and present, like in the months leading up to the show, and as we were writing the show, we wanted to get a lot of insight. And it was one of the most consistent things that was said to us was, "You just want to be thanked at an award show, by first and last name." Because, and it makes sense, a lot of people don't realize this, and I didn't even like think about it this way like, their names are not on the movies. Like, and they feel like they've really contributed to them, and sometimes spent years of their lives working on these things. But if you work at the studio, you don't get your name in the actual credits of the movie. And unless someone like Googles who was the head of the studio during the years that movie came out, no one would ever know you had anything to do with it. So, it is the only like way to set in stone that you... (laughs) had anything to do with the movie, was to be, is to be thanked at an award show. And...

Seth Rogen revealed that many studio executives care deeply about being thanked during award speeches because it’s often the only public recognition they receive for their work. Seth Rogen: And we were like, "Oh, no." And then we interviewed almost every head of every studio, kind of past and present, like in the months leading up to the show, and as we were writing the show, we wanted to get a lot of insight. And it was one of the most consistent things that was said to us was, "You just want to be thanked at an award show, by first and last name." Because, and it makes sense, a lot of people don't realize this, and I didn't even like think about it this way like, their names are not on the movies. Like, and they feel like they've really contributed to them, and sometimes spent years of their lives working on these things. But if you work at the studio, you don't get your name in the actual credits of the movie. And unless someone like Googles who was the head of the studio during the years that movie came out, no one would ever know you had anything to do with it. So, it is the only like way to set in stone that you... (laughs) had anything to do with the movie, was to be, is to be thanked at an award show. And...

Outgoing Governor General Mary Simon on receiving abusive messages on social media: "It was a surprise, but it was also, I think, a reflection of what is still here. That there is a division in terms of the role Indigenous people are entitled to play as the first inhabitants of this country."

You have no idea how many times we’ve heard from someone “Millennium was my first concert!” It’s hard to say this on behalf of ourselves, but it seems like this album defined a generation in some ways. Watching the way you showed up then, we knew you’d show up now. There was no doubt in our minds that if we made this, you would come. Not only was that time back in ‘99 special for each of you, but it was special for the five of us as well. It was arguably some of the best times of our lives. It was the moment we knew that the dream we had wanted for so long was becoming a reality. Everything we had worked for was coming into clear vision. People really seemed to like what we were doing, and the Backstreet Boys became a household name. It was hard to leave the houses and it was even harder to leave our families but just as we did it then we are doing it now and it’s all for you. Millennium 2.0 is here and it’s officially yours. Text that person who once told you that you’d get over it and let them know it was never a phase. The Backstreet Pride is still alive, baby!! 🩵 AJ, Brian, Howie, Nick and Kevin

From the recent The Free Press God debate between me and Ross Douthat (Ross Douthat): Question from attendee: Doesn't the history of 20th century Marxism show us where rational materialism leads? And shouldn't you, as a student of history, have seen where this worship of rationality would lead? Me: Well, you're assuming that Marxism was rational. Attendee: It was the worship of rationality, putting human presuppositions about right and wrong before the teachings of God. Me: If we judge an ideology by its effects, there are reasons to think that the precepts of Marxism were the opposite of rational. Namely, they led to disasters, but people held them anyway, so it was the opposite of the ideal of falsifiability. And they led to both economic and humanitarian disasters, so on rational grounds, we can see that Marxism was mistaken. So the failure of Marxism does not cast doubt on the value of rationality. It is precisely because we can evaluate it on rational grounds that we can identify what was wrong with it. Likewise, the horrors of the 20th century due to Nazism were not because Nazism was rational, quite the opposite. It had a number of obviously mistaken and monstrous beliefs, and it is by the lights of rationality combined with concern with human well-being that we can judge it as having been a disaster. I don't think that our problem now is that we have too much empathy. I think that the allegation that we're suffering from toxic empathy is mistaken. That too much empathy is the least of our problems. If I were to single out some of the things in Christian tradition that I think are worth keeping, then empathy, compassion, forgiveness, forswearing revenge, all of those are good things because they can also be defended on rational grounds.
