Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

@sulli864.bsky.social I recommend this forgotten 1975 telemovie based on a true story I'm sure you are familiar with. Many familiar faces from 1970s cop shows, NYC location work, solid acting and writing. Flawed but much better than I expected. rarefilmm.com/2022/04/fost...

The greatest Xmas album ever made.

Broken. Not broken. Today’s Sunday Age cartoon

I thought I was a Mancini fan, but I'm only a pretender because I had no idea he once collaborated with John Laws. I'm not sure I want to hear this album, but I feel I must.

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

"A voluntary agreement to begin discussions on a roadmap to an eventual phase-out of fossil fuels." Have you ever read such an absurd sentence?

Peter Watkins has died - perhaps the least-appreciated great British filmmaker (and you sense he wouldn't have wanted it any other way). www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

“With 94 seats, its largest majority since 1943, Labor governs with the courage of a bunny caught in the headlights, terrified of using its power. Keating would have reshaped the country with these numbers.” theaimn.net/the-governme...

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

I mean, hats off NYT Connections person.

This is good and true theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

Oasis stadium jaunt ends (for now), it has been odd seeing how massively they’re loved, and also odd that it is seen as churlish to critique it. For me, they inescapably represent the worst of the 90s, the banterous homophobia, the conservatism. It made life miserable & I struggle to get over that.

A farewell to my friend, Kaleb Horton, a great writer who died unexpectedly this past weekend.

This machine fights fascists.

It seems that Kaleb Horton has passed away. A devastating loss. One of the best writers of this generation. Kaleb was a friend for ten years and in all our conversations I was trying to convince him how good he was, something he seemed to know but also never fully believe. I am going to go cry now.

RIP Kaleb Horton, one of the most dazzling, funny, kind, & truly original writers to ever grace this endangered medium. I was lucky enough to edit him for the most popular piece we ever did theLAnd. A strange poultry odyssey of true brilliance. thelandmag.com/pioneer-frie...

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

I remember when the press was on a weeks-long feeding frenzy because of concerns over the (former) president’s mental state. That concern seems gone 🙄🙄🙄

every company on earth demanding its underpaid workers use the garbage generator machine for everything and now they're mad that all they're getting is garbage

OK I'm gonna say it because nobody else will, this is possibly the fourth or fifth greatest double-album of all time.

I'm ashamed to admit that before today I was unaware of the demented musical repertoire of McGruff The Crime Dog. Be smart and say no to inhalants! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFa_...

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Today it is 26 years since the Moon was blasted out of Earth's orbit. Today is also Barbara Bain's 94th birthday, an equally important event. Happy birthday Barbara.

Late period (1960) zero-budget film-noir. Raymond Scott soundtrack. Filmed on the streets of New York. Must watch this. Today.

Farewell to Mark Volman, co-founder of the Turtles, one half of Flo & Eddie, and one of the great eccentrics of the rock'n'roll era. My obituary for the Los Angeles Times. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

BRO. THAT’S THE BOOK. THAT’S LITERALLY THE BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK.

Today I found out that there was a 1967 French film named (in English) 'Risky Business' starring Jacques Brel. So now I've gotta watch it, even though it has no connection with its 1983 namesake.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Incredible. Roland Reisley is 101 years old, the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright. He still lives in the 3,200 square foot home that Wright built for him in 1952. The price? $40,000. Or a little less than half a million in today's money.

You'd think that a Canadian thriller from the 1970s with this cast would be the greatest film ever right? Donald Sutherland David Hemmings John Hurt David Warner Peter Bowles Christopher Plummer Nope. Bloody tedious.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

The worst all-star 1980s charity song? Quite probable - at least in the English language. Unfortunately this song probably achieved the opposite of its intent. Does ANYBODY remember it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Kt...

"If you’re going to get politically organised, it’s more likely to be because your neighbour asked you to come along to a local protest than because you saw a bunch of allegedly intelligent people debating policy on TV." Read: graceblakeley.substack.com/p/why-i-stop...

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

Absolutely wild how extremely far right rhetoric on Covid/disabled people, that liberals and leftists rightly attacked MAGA for in 2020, has now been mainstreamed to the point that leftists/liberals are further right on public health than most MAGA people were in 2020. Julia outlines it well here

Penny Wong's statement today. "The abhorrent missile attacks on Gaza over the weekend demonstrate Israel is not serious about wanting to end its illegal & immoral war. Gaza’s citizens continue to bravely resist Israel's aggression." Oh sorry, that was Russia/Ukraine. Of course.

just uploaded a cool, trippy video from composer & film-maker Erkki Kurenniemi. Its called "Carnaby Street" and was filmed late 67/68 Soundtrack is some dark industrial electronics he also composed in the early 70's on synths he likely made himself www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQyY...

What is happening in Gaza will be a permanent stain on the world's collective conscience. History will never forget how our government was complicit in enabling and sustaining this ongoing humanitarian disaster. We must end funding for the Netanyahu war machine.

If you want to understand why progressive people don't believe in the Labor Party anymore, here's a prime example. Julian isn't interested in justice, he's interested in being comfortable. Equating spreading race hate with opposing genocide should be unforgivable. Centrism is a brain disease.

Perhaps Albo will feel secure enough to start growing a spine now.
