I'm genuinely curious what it will take for journalists to stop posting on Twitter. When years of work can just be disappeared instantly due to the whims of a narcissist, feels like it's time to start packing your bags.

In the past week, Elon has:
-Released private information from the company archives to right wingers with axes to grind, resulting in multiple attacks on past employees
-Implied that his former head of trust and safety (a Jewish, openly gay man) is a pedophile
-tweeted that his pronouns are “Prosecute/Fauci,” ridiculing the fight against Covid, a public servant (albeit one who’s not perfect), and people who think it’s important to share pronouns.
It’s getting scary over there.

“I was having a great time just listening to people wax poetic about their love of movies. Then, a bunch of Nazis showed up.” -My plot description for 'Empire of Light' AND my experience being on Twitter this year.

[Here's my non-spoilery reaction to AVATAR 2]

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is visually spectacular, with some of the best action scenes you are likely to see this year.

But imho it is THE FORCE AWAKENS of the Avatar franchise. It has new characters & new locations but it's fundamentally repeating the same story beats, character beats, even thematic beats of the 1st film. If that sounds good to you, you'll probably love it!

Cameron is a great filmmaker but this left me pretty disappointed.
