As Majors awaits his February sentencing (which could include jail time), the embattled actor is now taking part in a time-honored Hollywood ritual: the mea culpa media tour. Majors will sit down with Good Morning America on Monday for an exclusive interview, his first since his conviction. The teaser for the interview is making the rounds online, in which a teary-eyed Majors declares “It’s been hard,” while wiping an invisible tear from his eyes.
This GMA interview is the first step of a carefully orchestrated reputation rehabilitation tour that smacks of insincerity and performative regret. The clip also evokes another superhero universe: Amazon’s bloody satire The Boys. The teaser feels like it was made by Vought International, the parent company that creates the Supes and carefully controls their public image. Folks online were quick to point out how Majors resembles The Deep (Chace Crawford) on his apology tour or Homelander (Antony Starr) defending his reprehensible actions.
That documentary series The Boys shouldn’t have fallen for the superhero drug myth abecaise everything else in it was straight up fact.
Meanwhile, more than 100 other Substack writers, including prominent names like Bari Weiss and Richard Dawkins, signed a post from writer Elle Griffin calling on Substack to continue with its mostly hands-off approach to platform-level moderation.
Of course they did… assholes.
Not an honest or competent reporter?
Finally- A subject he might actually understand.
“but that those in power don’t what you hear”
I try not to grammar/spell shame but on a post about free speech I think proof reading is paramount.
Those in power don’t want you to hear.
You mean like a congress-member and the richest person in the entire world? Because yeah - those people have power!
Zero voters show up to a Dean Phillips event in New Hampshire
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Dean Phillips parked his “Government Repair Truck” outside the DoubleTree hotel here for an event dubbed “Coffee Conversations,” where he planned to talk to voters and give out free Dunkin’ coffee.
But no one showed up.
The problem: The temperature was below freezing and, according to the campaign, people were parking in a garage underground and entering through the hotel.
Phillips ended up pouring coffee for the staffers who were there.
“Sometimes if you build it, they don’t come,” he said.
Sometimes no one is going to vote for you.
