Thoughts on March 7, 2018




Based on TYT show published 03/06/18:
Actress Amber Tamblyn has been accused of anti-semitism after a social media post involving a Hasidic man. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, discuss if the criticism is justified. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
-----------------------------------------
If the driver looked like a Hasidic individual, including that description along with a vehicle description in a police report first (with Twitter a distant second) is not anti-Semitic. Just as describing the driver as caucasian if that individual had white skin would not be prejudiced against caucasians. It is difficult to identify criminals based on a stick figure without details or tones. As for the bike riding comment, again notify the police and follow up, not sure Twitter can provide useful assistance. Twitter seems to be best at dispensing snap judgements on tweets made without filter. Maybe I am just prejudiced against Twitter?



Based on Collider Town Hall published 03/05/18:
Mark Ellis hosts a town hall with new Collider owner Marc Fernandez, Collider.com editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub, Collider Video head of creative Kristian Harloff, and Collider Video head of production Dennis Tzeng. They will be answering all of your questions regarding the future of Collider as we become an independent venture.
--------------------------------------------------
One of my favorite questions was by Cookbook500 (@44:29) about the source of Collider's revenue as it was prefaced by Mark Ellis's intro "he does not MINCE words". A close 2nd moment for me was Mark Ellis's almost metaphysical comment wondering if Collider employees were now composed of cryptocurrency. When Mark has a good verbal one, it shows in his eyes first, almost reminiscent of a certain scene of a recent science fiction film. Very informative panel (not all about baby carrots), glad that they mentioned they hope to rehire certain past employees as Collider becomes larger.
