going to encourage people to vote for an actual Democrat

"dems would be center right in uk/eu" staggers on, zombie like, immune to evidence the uk tories just proposed deporting 4-7% of the uk's population - self-partition- they are, in fact, to the right of adam schiff

I know I’m not the first person to say it but the hyper commercialization of the Grinch story is pretty sad and a perfect illustration of the ability of capital to absorb critiques painlessly

another one for my Terrible Person Makes Excellent Point files I have no time for Bill Clinton, but this is the right way to approach this

My Christmas gift - panto for FREE 🌟♥️🌟 10 yrs ago I made Panto! for BBCStoryville. A feature doc about an am-dram group staging a panto - Puss in Boots at the Nottingham Arts Theatre. A tiny budget, a punishing schedule & a ramshackle donkey costume are just some of the challenges they face

𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝙈𝙐𝙎𝙄𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙉𝙎 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙍𝙀𝙈𝙄𝙓𝙀𝙍𝙎: I'm putting together a cassette tape of audio related to my Beck book, as a promo item to build buzz I can't do Beck covers, so I'm looking for creative ideas (homages to Beck, found-sound collages of my interviews, music for my narrations, etc) Let me know!!!!

this cannot be overstated also, so many of the “free speech warrior” types just want to say slurs in public and not be mocked or held in contempt

old mate threatening us with a good time

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.

a Fox station is reporting this? I feel like I’ve stepped into Bizarro World

Borges and Kafka were amateurs compared to extraction capitalism

alt text: a cartoon drawn on a brown paper napkin in a very simple style two people are watching a television on the television, a woman with shoulder-length hair and glasses (Bari Weiss, presumably) is saying “Tonight, on 40 Minutes…” one viewer says “I guess one of the segments struck a nerve.”

THE MANY MAGICS OF LOS ANGELES—its rich landscape, its diverse cultural histories, its complicated past and present—are at the heart of this lovely supernatural thriller, along with a prickly but appealing protagonist. B PLUS 💙📚 #bookreviews #SmallPressSunday redhen.org/book/city-of...

we need all the light we can get these days not pictured: incredibly delicious latkes, because we ate them all Happy Hanukkah and a glorious Solstice

I think this is why fascists love AI art, not because it is good, but because it is bad. Not because it is original, but because it is stolen. To make art as an expression of skill and craft and humanity reinforces humanity. To push a button that steals art and call it your own is domination.

One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.

so much of Polanski’s early work seems inspired by this movie #HorrorWatch

the scene with the doves is very beautiful and Cocteau-esque, but then you can’t really follow it with the end of the policier #HorrorWatch

gotta put my scarf on so I don’t get un courant d’air #HorrorWatch

just doctoring and smoking at the clinic, as one does in 1960 #HorrorWatch

“I’ve done so much evil to accomplish this miracle” the absolute cry of the entitled technocrat #HorrorWatch

this is one of the horror movie moments that haunts me the most #HorrorWatch

a lot of these visuals of the daughter are mirrored in Rosemary’s Baby, don’t you think? #HorrorWatch

Valli is killing it here, I never appreciated her “vaguely menacing Madonna” vibe until this watch through her Citroën is delightful also #HorrorWatch

grievance farmers eating each other’s faces, you love to see it

great snapshot of a transitional moment in fashion #HorrorWatch

Yeats was such a fucking optimist

I need an IV drip of terrible influencers being boxed back into the Stone Age, please and thank you

There are people being paid by the federal government to sit around and think of increasingly outrageous posts to titillate Nazis on the 9th most popular social media site in the U.S.

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

feminism has failed women by not going hard enough white feminism has failed women of color by going hard only for ourselves and leaving our sisters behind middle-class feminism has failed poor, disadvantaged, and low-wealth women by going hard only for ourselves and leaving our sisters behind

Ruth’s Chris The Donald J Trump and The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

THE SCIENCE AND PSEUDOSCIENCE OF CRIMINAL profiling are explored in an idiosyncratic, impressionistic tour from Arthur Conan Doyle to present-day “predictive policing.” Lots of intriguing history, and an appropriately skeptical stance. B PLUS 💙📚 #bookreviews bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

the number of people who have suggested that this is okay as long as all you want from the convicted child rapist is money or favors has shocked me yes, it would be worse still if {your fave} wanted in on the child rape, but it’s still pretty bad if all {your fave} wanted was money or favors!

I took my friend with only a high school degree to a fancy party and saw his face freeze up at the terminology being used by the elite. “Hebephile?” “Ephebophile?” I quickly asked him if he wanted to go somewhere else and he anxiously nodded yes and so we went to a Trump rally. By David Brooks
