| | rantnrave:// If you didn't know, now you know. And we know you know. And the just blame the complicit. It's time.... And those crazy whites not liking the market share projections. This is the message we need... I'm a sucker for WWII docs. But TV loves NAZI programming. So do the streaming services. It was a terrifying, evil and yet fascinating time in human history. I wonder if all the access and reruns are having a bad effect on new generations? Let's just hope these clowns are truly an ignorant minority... TV deals have made the ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE the wealthiest soccer league in the world but can money buy happiness? The EPL has expanded its global footprint and priced out some British fans. Is English soccer better off if the rich clubs get richer but the grassroots teams feel left behind? The EPL has more money and more problems... A controversial memo about gender diversity ignites a battle over ideological diversity. It's man vs. woman, nature vs. nurture and left vs. right as the culture wars spread to Google. We gathered the surrounding ideas, sides and developments. Please check out "The Google Memo: Diverse Notes on a Diversity War." It's a must-read. Know the discussion, not the rumors... If I get the chance for a lay-up. I take it... I've never been on a comp committee. But PUTIN definitely hit his bonus target this year. Maximum comp likely. What does he snack on while watching us? Platform? TV and popcorn? Desktop video and almonds? Phone and ramen? TWITTER and PINKBERRY?... KAL PENN makes a very salient point... Another example of BILL HADER's genius? His BOB EVANS doc spoof on IFC's DOCUMENTARY NOW! I agree with BILL MURRAY. Hader is one of the best SNL has ever had. If not the best. Top 5 for sure... Congrats to old friend KERRY TRAINOR on joining SOUNDCLOUD as new CEO. We're big fans of his and the site and rooting for them... I want to see everything GENIUS'd. When done well, super helpful. Breeds knowledge. Speeches, songs, anything. Assuming the person genius-ing isn't nuts... A fascinating column from THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. "NOT REAL NEWS: A look at what didn’t happen this week." Very apropos for our times... Happy Birthday to MIKE JONES, STACI KRAMER, TOM KUHN, NATHANIA STAMBOULI, PETER MINIKES, BERNARD YEE, and BRIAN LEVIN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
