On what planet does a brand - even @duolingo - think it’s cool to crack jokes about an alleged victim of domestic violence? The Depp fandom bubble on TikTok is very real but no brand should get anywhere near it.

Far too online. Takes + data on internet culture, entertainment, and media.
- This interview is a prime example of what not to do & will be studied in public speaking classes for years. Jon Stewart often lets interviewees self-sabotage, but here, the Deputy Secretary of Defense unravels before even making her argument.
00:00 - Yeah, I mean, this is why many far-right influencers exist mostly/only as meme accounts on Twitter/Instagram.

00:00 - Andre Braugher and Lance Reddick, both gone in 2023. They were incredibly talented actors, and remarkable Black actors, unafraid to confront race in their roles. What a massive loss, all in one year.
- Replying to @GilRGloverShe took herself apart with her defensive laughter and her patronizing behavior. It was weird.
- Replying to @ChrisHariharNotice the change in tone after the audience applauds him. It becomes evident that she's falling behind and must address the arguments. It's crazy that she didn't realize it sooner.
- Replying to @KatAbughazaleh and @abughazalehkatWhen JD sees a punchline on his teleprompter
- Replying to @hasanthehunI mean, she said the same shit weeks ago. Verbatim. Stop the selective listening.
- Replying to @James_DatorKeanu 4ever. Saw this man sitting on a fire hydrant in NYC. A fucking fire hydrant. & he looked cool doing it. Mustered the courage to speak to him as he’s getting up & he was the nicest guy on the planet. Let me take 2 selfies because my hand was shaking too much the first time.
- Yeeeeesh. The man is cooking everyone and taking no prisoners.
