I think a lot of people take electricity for granted, but it's an essential piece of some of the biggest stories right now.

The rise of artificial intelligence, the threat of climate change, and the real challenges that everyday people are facing with increasing electric bills.

I spend my days talking to experts, sometimes traveling to really remote places, and investigating the role that energy plays in these huge issues.

I'm just one of hundreds and hundreds of journalists at The Times, experts in what they cover, who carry the same level of commitment to their reporting.

And that's the beauty of The New York Times.

Right, well, this documentary came out really when Me Too was in full swing.

And it gets picked up by HBO, so an enormous number of people see it.

And it was an incredibly powerful film.

It's the story of two men, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who both claim Jackson sexually abused them as boys.

Basically, in the film, just walk the audience through this horrific grooming process that they claim took place in stomach-churning detail.

And it's quite powerful and compelling.

And the estate, I think, justifiably criticized the filmmaker for not including them in any way, including any sort of rebuttal.

But regardless.

People like Oprah, an abuse survivor herself, endorsed the film.

Hosted a special with the two accusers.

It was a moment, and it felt like it could be a moment for some sort of reckoning.

Exactly.

The Financial Times reported that his music essentially stopped appearing in ads almost entirely after the documentary came out.
