Cherish Your Memorized Weakness | John Semley “The Comeback” is the rare Hollywood insider entertainment that is not merely satirical, but unrepentantly disdainful.

The third season of cringe-core meta-comedy “The Comeback” has returned to television with all of its nasty backstage satire intact. And as @johnsemley3000.bsky.social argues, it’s got plenty of material to pull from.

John Semley: I’m happy for Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. Why do they make some Canadians so mad? Trudeau's most vicious haters might be adrift without a target for their rage.

In @thestar.com today, I weigh in on the most pressing issue of the day: TDS. That is, Trudeau Derangement Syndrome. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Don't watch enough ball to have a take, but nevertheless, sort of tired of this "Steph Curry" business. Predictable. It's like when you get into the third act of a Mission: Impossible movie and the chips are down and then someone turns the table by peeling off a mask. Boring.

I would throw myself into a wood chipper for Valerie Cherish.

I mean if the idea of that “psy-op” is literally a military term, fine. but it’s only in the headline, which writers famously don’t write, and mentioned once in the body of the article, linked to a jokey tweet, in the context of it being used as a pejorative to dismiss the band’s success.

I also don’t get what about my initial report, which wasn’t even a “take,” was “militarized.” Literally all I did was email the agency to ask if they worked with these bands, and if they scrubbed the info, and they said “yes” to both. I like the band!

It is very funny to advertise yourself as a “No BS” pop culture podcast. Yeah absolutely, there’s no room for bullshit when you talk about the Super Mario Galaxy movie on a podcast, that time is sacred. Just give me the damn facts!

also these aren’t even my opinions! it’s a news article about the marketing tactics and how they’re being perceived. I actually loved Getting Killed, for whatever that’s worth.

The Fanfare Around the Band Geese Actually Was a Psyop The Brooklyn band Geese was labeled an “industry plant” by those who questioned its sudden ubiquity. Maybe it was.

I got a bunch of pitches last year about how Geese cracked the algorithm—well, surprise, it was a "narrative" marketing campaign. @johnsemley3000.bsky.social with the goods: www.wired.com/story/geese-...

Burner accounts, trend simulation, manufactured discourse: music marketers are embracing new online tools to get ears on new music. Is it just business as usual? And ARE Geese an industry plant?

I investigate music's dirty little secret, for @wired.com. www.wired.com/story/geese-...

In 5 short months my confidence in the Buffalo Sabres has gone from “they will lose any game I tune in to watch” to “they will win automatically because it’s Rasmus Dahlin’s birthday.”

I understand that. But I am working on a news item where I would need that to be proven/vocalized from a position of authority (not an academic or someone listed on paper). I don’t appreciate the sarcasm; but thanks for chiming in!

Right. But if that’s true I would need it to be proven.

Do I know anyone who would talk on record about—deep breath—the mental health risks assumed by ICE/DHS agents? Trying to gauge how “moral injury” will affect ICE and other border patrol officers, particularly those ones deployed in “highly kinetic” “theaters of operation”….
