"eyebrow albatroz" Brazil for the win (as always) in the bird naming game.

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

I love this book, and you should get it.

Data is the new oil. Starmer's January 2025 AI Growth Zones obsession is grounded in two forms of capitalism: Disaster Capitalism and Surveillance Capitalism Thread

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus: “Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

In 2024, Chancellor Rachel Reeves flew to NY. Her mission? To meet Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone, the world’s largest private equity firm. They claim Blackstone is “the largest provider of newly built affordable housing in the UK for the last three years.” open.substack.com/pub/european...

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.

What's happening behind those relentless headlines about immigration? A Silent Coup where US corporations are restructuring the British State and commodifying the entire public sector. open.substack.com/pub/european...

The Macarena.

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

David Cross folks.

The Guardian, as usual is missing crucial differences between the EU’s ID cards and Starmer’s proposed Brit card, why? Because they are shockingly ill-informed. Thread www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

THE HITCHER only turns into a masterpiece at the moment you realise Rutger Hauer is playing Bugs Bunny.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

“Criticism, like all good things, is about the discovery of the self inspired by our interaction with an art form that tells us about our world. It too is an ‘empathy machine.’” In my Locarno wrap up for @ebertvoices.bsky.social I wonder about what the future holds.
