Is that Mark Zuckerberg again? LOL.

@Deggans see this? amazing cover of an iconic song!

Before watching second season premiere of HBO's hit zombie drama The Last of Us tonight, read my look at the show's returns w/a different vibe than first season, including a jarring rift between characters with a focus on lies and consequences. https://t.co/RmmZAO1NPm

Had great fun interviewing Parliament Funkadelic's George Clinton about new PBS documentary, We Want the Funk and history of P-Funk. He explained how The Beatles inspired P-Funk and why he's talking more now about the thinking behind their big hits: https://t.co/HORywvBH8n https://t.co/6WD9pAVUme

PBS has put We Want the Funk, Stanley Nelson's amazing documentary on funk music, on YouTube. Watch it while its available: https://t.co/Jg2Ov4hSvG

"The President may have single-handedly tipped us into a global recession." The Daily Show somehow sums up the horror of Trump's tariffs, and the unwillingness of pro-Trump news outlets to report on it, in darkly funny terms. WATCH: https://t.co/OhEIuUbl0X

The story of this nation is progress and backlash. Because we fool ourselves with propaganda and forget our history, repeating it time and again.

@Deggans I felt like we were on the right path when Obama was elected...twice, despite the racism. But Trump brings out the worst in America.

Words can't capture the fun in talking new PBS documentary We Want the Funk w/Parliament Funkadelic's George Clinton and Emmy winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson. Clinton tells how the Beatles inspired p-funk and what he'll say to aliens when they meet. READ: https://t.co/HORywvBH8n https://t.co/ZcEXdwxeCc

My weekly column on new TV takes a look at how viewers dismayed by the Trump administration may have a tough time watching the finale season of The Handmaid's Tale. Also, Jon Hamm plays another compelling jerk and Hacks tackles late night television... https://t.co/4DSISpU58P https://t.co/SZoB8wcHYI

All due respect to David Brooks, but I don't know how you can look at the history of how this country has treated -- and still treats -- women, non-white people, gay people, transgender people, new immigrants and maintain a blind faith in America's goodness. America is people,

In the Atlantic, David Brooks writes that the last few weeks have altered his idea of his country. Also makes an argument about Trump and the working class. https://t.co/sqyvWzRWgR

The new Mission Impossible trailer has Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman and Severance star Trammel Tillman. As tired as I am of this franchise, this finale can now officially have all my money. WATCH: https://t.co/CA7mAoxEpj

If you really watched that segment, it is clear the argument he is making: Some people may have good faith questions, but there is little evidence transgender athletes are causing any harm and a lot of evidence participation bans are hurting them.

@Deggans By the way, the whole "Condescending NPR reporter" thing is tired and why they're losing listeners. I watch Oliver every week and I still don't know who he is trying to convince.

You should follow my recommendation and actually watch the segment.

Bodhi Seeker @BodhiSeeker

@Deggans Who is he trying to convince?

John Oliver on transgender athletes, pointing out how few of them there are, how there's little evidence of competition advantage, especially in youth sports, and how its often a cover for transphobia. Even if you're "just asking questions," please watch: https://t.co/wSCAnjuh0Y

When you have to obscure and minimize figures who have been hailed as heroes for decades, you know you're on the wrong side of history. But here's a good story on how the National Park Service is obliterating history of abolitionists thanks to Trump: https://t.co/cekeOeEUR3

My Substack on why, if you're a fan of great TV, you should care that the TV Critics Association is struggling to keep its biannual press tours going: https://t.co/XGguCkeqUs https://t.co/21TNywPZrh

Missing the point. I’m not saying this; people who once supported Trump are saying it.

RadicalT @RadicalT91

@Deggans You say the same apocalyptic stiff about every prominent Republican. The broken clock being right twice a day metaphor applies precisely here.
