@ToddInTheShadows It’s actually fairly good, but 3 hours of learning about how films in the 20s and 30s were made isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It also shifts a bit between comedy and drama until finally settling on drama about 2/3 through. Biggest strength is the individual character moments when everything slows down just enough for them to realize how crazy their lives are.

I don’t mind 3+ hour movies, but they should bring back the intermission to make them more palatable.

@davetroy I’m interested in how they’re planning on enforcing this policy after cutting most of their staff. Using automation would essentially remove a massive amount of users, many of whom either don’t use Twitter that often or would rather leave than deal with this nonsense, and I don’t think they have enough staff remaining to deal with this manually.
@davetroy I’m frankly not sure how one would even attempt to enforce debt at this level of geopolitics. The worst I can think of right now is that USA wouldn’t be able to take on any more debt, plus an extreme period of minimal government while GOP bunkers down and stalls.
Maybe the problem for some people (myself included) is scale; The Great Depression sounded catastrophic, but no book or documentary can even begin to convey the true horror of living through it.
