The East Bay legend, famed director of Fruitvale Station, Black Panther and Creed, Ryan Coolger, sent a big ol' black lightning rod through the film industry with his new film Sinners.

Everyone knows the group chat is sacred space. And the person who started the chat must make sure that everyone who's in there, should be in there. No one wants the content of your group chat exposed, especially when it's filled with classified military plans! Sheesh! Today we discuss how the editor of The Atlantic ended up on a Signal group chat about an active military strike in Yemen.
