I came across so many wise/funny/interesting people/places/things, and learned more lessons - big and small - than I can count, and there are cats and dogs and laughter and beauty and people falling over and people spontaneously making art and...

One of the best films of 2025! A must watch! onfs.net/4h5axpR #TrainDreams

Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

It still makes me so extremely depressed that the entire world is surging into conservatism & right wing nonsense ALL because for a few months we had to stay inside our homes, then for a few years we had to take vaccines & wears masks, all to prevent a dangerous virus from harming even MORE people.

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

Love her, love this message, miss her already, she was one of the best to ever live on this planet. A must watch final message from Jane Goodall: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfLK...

Stellar Final Trailer for Dan Trachtenberg's 'Predator: Badlands' Movie

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE has a bravura opening Act (still good after that, but the constant rewinding and replaying of the timeline from different perspectives gradually rob it of some of its tension). Thoroughly engrossing, & Bigelow gets to indulge her fetish for rapid-fire jargon & chains of command.

I think at this point it's trivially true to say that we— either in the sense of the creators and advocates, or as in this whole society— did not properly understand or prepare for the implications of the internet.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

In my experience with humanity, a lot of people are afraid to do what's right, afraid to speak up, or stand up, or do anything that is considered uncivil or loud, if it's not what everyone else is already doing. But this is why it takes courage & bravery. I'm just surprised by how few will do it...

Another day of scrolling through the news and muttering *what the actual fuck*

Physical miniature elements getting ready

This is not a moment to abandon principles and morals. Human rights are worth fighting for. Democracy is worth fighting for. People need housing, healthcare, education, and the ability to live a good life. That’s not controversial.

Goodbye, DR JANE GOODALL, you made this planet we live on better and we will never thank you enough for it. Rest easy. 💚💚💚💚💚🖤

So annoyed by the modern criticism that nitpicks movies for not being the *perfect* depiction of something or some character. E.g. with One Battle After Another yes Bob isn’t the best! Yes he’s flawed! I don't care! Don't need to see the perfect dad or revolutionaries - it's just a story & it works.

Her work was so important to so many of us, and to the world. 💔

Jane Goodall was a hero who used her life to make the world a better place. If the world uplifted and amplified people like her over fascists and billionaires, the world would be a very different place. #3E

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

It's so clear that there's a huge number of professionals in the US who carry with them traumatic memories of being excluded, laughed at, or looked down up on by the Smart Kids and who have basically made hostility to Smart Kids their entire personality, ideology, & worldview.

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

One Battle After Another is legit. Best movie of the year? Maybe. Definitely the most important. Political and Timely AF. It's an Antifa ad. This is high praise.

I wish more people understood that we are spiritually meant for more. We are meant to be in loving communities, grow our own food, be outdoors and have support systems. Not sit behind desks for most of our lives slowly rotting away and wishing things were different.

Like pretty much everyone else, I LOVED One Battle After Another. Not just the story of revolutionaries, but also the pristine filmmaking, the riveting pacing, Stoner Dad DiCaprio, Saint Benicio Del Toro, Unforgettable Chase Infiniti, Lockjaw Bastard Sean Penn, and everything else. WHAT A FILM. 🇺🇸🎬

Action-Heavy Full Trailer for James Cameron's 'Avatar: Fire & Ash' Movie

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is as good as everyone is saying. It's a miracle of a film. PTA has piled a careers worth of technique into this one. I feel dozens of influences but only see something perfectly unique. One of the best things I've seen this decade.

Someone posted a TikTok or something on here recently saying exactly this but framing it like a good thing and YIIIIIKES.

I truly believe that many people deep within know the world is fucked & going to shit, so instead they focus more on themselves - society is more superficial than ever before. Vanity & narcissism is at its all-time worst. Everyone is turning into empty husks with no soul - chasing superficial glory.

trains are magic and it’s so embarrassing that the richest country in the history of the world is all “high speed rail? nah we don’t need it”

this is gaslighting, plain and simple. No, it's not the worker producing workslop, it's the fucking AI!

How I feel waking up almost every single day nowadays...

SCANNERS (1981) Dir. David Cronenberg

It was happening before, but the pandemic really solidified the modern political conundrum that no one is the bad guy anymore. All these anti-vaxxer idiots burned it into the minds of too many people that they are righteous warriors and not bad people. Now the whole world is full of this denial.

“Storytellers broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire, and ultimately, connect us.” - Robert Redford

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.
