Biggest hack in mainstream art cinema

I have a seven month old baby so I'm watching very few movies at the moment but I was scrolling through my letterboxd diary and I think it's good enough that you should still follow me there.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Jonah Goldberg was calling for the arrest of Columbia students six months ago! I know some media folks find it irresistable to elevate right-wing free speech guys but how many Bari Weisses / Matt Taibbis / Elon Musks is it going to take to learn some minimal skepticism?

Ruling class liberal millennial version of a gen x dad saying "why don't my kids like Ghostbusters? Must be wokeness".

A celebratory salute to 238 years of Aboriginal resistance. The colonial violence, destruction of culture and outright theft we have done to the people of the tens of thousands of years old culture here was bone deep evil and it was grotesquely obscene to do it to make a provincial imperial outpost

Promisingly I'm seeing a lot of Americans post about the need for mass arrests of the Trump circle and imperialist violence being applied in the metropol. What I'm not seeing yet is the logical connection leading to enthusiasm for mass arrests of the Biden White House for the crime of gennocide

I should be able to get a coffee with the taste and strength of a double espresso but with the volume of a long black.

The EU set to respond to Trump's aggression by banning American imports like Coca Cola and Christian Democratic Parties.

Death to America obviously but invading Iraq and the killing fields of Gaza are both multitudes worse than invading Greenland and your exact political tendency were and are right up there with the yanks doing both. They're even fuckin running cover for kidnapping Maduro.

He's probably right in the sense of how much writing and culture has gone on the internet and how little of that is reliably archived but maybe we could start an oral tradition about his execution for his vast crimes against humanity.

Why did Any Poehler's character like Joe Biden in Parks and Rec? RBG, Obama, Pelosi, even Hilary are all pieces of shit but it makes sense that she'd like them but Biden? Obama era was weird.

If Trump can destroy NATO but die before actually doing the Greenland invasion I think that'll be a rare point in the other ledger in St Peter's accounting book

Every BBC drama is powerfully right wing and made for an audience of American liberals. It's like when RT used to have real left wing journalists on it.

I don't like bluesky I just couldn't hack the grok shit but that guys post sucks and it shouldn't have got all those likes on the other websites.

Alex Cox and Nobuhiko Obayashi have been excluded from goat director discussions by the tonal consistency-bos and I'm frankly sick of their shit.

We didn't sign up to be martyrs. It's unclear why we signed up to be American Anglican Priests but it wasn't martyrdom.

One thing I've learnt from Tubi is goddamn dude do you know how many spaghetti westerns they made after 1970? And by they I don't mean Sergio Leone or Sergio Corbucci, it's like after reinventing John Ford, Italy then reinvented the poverty row western.

Always happy to drop this image I made for a group chat without context

It's funny Rolling Stone the magazine has the exact same nasty trajectory as the uni educated boomers for which it was so important when they were cool

I'm going to make a little thread to log what novels I've read and what condition the covers are in when I'm finished them lol.

i think stancil should be apologizing to everyone he argued with about the IDF bombing that hospital now that the imperial boomerang has come back to our city

If you handle your phone wrong on the letterboxd app it jump scares you with some sort of Yoda or gremlin figure. No moral just keep your head on a swivel.

I'll tell you, it does feel pretty grim that as America is entering its most aggressive phase that everyone who could fight them good is imploding or is too cautious to do it. The Yemenis have done well, it's not impossible but foof

Lol so the Last of Us show is showrun by Craig Maizen and the guy from Naughty Dog. Scabs all the way down.

When the yanks are watching basketball: oh sick I get to see a bunch of little clips of cool dunks and 3 pointers When the yanks are watching American football: this Tyler Glompo guy must've got really owned I guess

I have deleted the twitter app on my phone. I am a bluesky elder now and my opinions on the posts must be respected as such.

Finally listening to Lunger by Stay Inside closely. Fantastic, definitely their most cohesive album to date and seems like an intellectual evolution although I miss some of the big hits like An Invitation on Ferried Away.

If you're ok with the dead of Palestine, you're ok with the rest of it. No humming and harring about international law or white supremacy or cracking down on protest once you've signed up for it.

One thing about me is that I would never in a million lifetimes watch a documentary about Chevy Chase

Maybe I'm doing some light stereotyping for which I'll be justly tortured in woke 2 but Spike Lee can't be a Catholic right?

I wouldn't worry too much, you lose wars all the time the old fashioned way

I hope there's no war. War is an unfathomably awful event that scars human history. But if there is a war I hope Israel and America, the aggressors, get the absolute shit kicked out of them.

The news from Gaza and Yemen really gives you visions of guys in the government facing a firing squad hey

No-one is yet announcing they're going to start dishonoring US patents and IP but it's gotta occur to some of the big countries in a new trade war with America.

You should not vote for the right wing parties but Labor are never going to go left wing and The Greens are never going to win power so it doesn't really matter who you vote for out of the two.

Doing some hyper-specific engagement farming. What you got?

Joan of Arc Toussaint Louverture Karl Marx Djuna Barnes Mark E Smith Nobuhiko Obayashi

While I don't have many followers I'm advanced in terms of Australian posters because I don't know anything about guns but I've shot them and I don't know anything about trains but I've taken them for holidays.

Sean Moorhead was the best to ever do it. RIP. He's still alive but still.

Now this is good pig racing drama!

It's so cool that every bad thing you can say about the Chinese state is also true of Singapore but it will never be brought up because the bad things about the Chinese state only exist as fodder in great power competition.

I'm sure the term "circular firing squad" has been used to describe annoying people on the left who are being hostile and superior to useful work but I've only ever seen it used on people begging for something better than right wing sex criminals with ungodly body counts.

This scene but replace Sean Connery with Danny Boyle and In The Name of The Rose with Trainspotting 2. youtu.be/a94jraWNG-g?...

I don't think in Australia both parties are trying to lose, I just think we have a completely flat political system where both sides believe in their own righteousness in their cosmetic differences. In America though, both parties are trying to lose.

Is there a way to turn off the bluesky moderation team shit?

I've never played a pen and paper RPG but I like Duffo and I like his anime takes so if you're one of the Americans that followed me when I first got bluesky, you should look at his Kickstarter in its final stretch.

People are dunking on this for the simple facts that it's not true and that it's Joe Biden's fault but I think you got to let them cook and get them platformed because it's essential for left wing politicians and social movements to distance themselves from the horribly unpopular Democratic Party
