Some brief thoughts on the Little Rock Film Festival and Brent and Craig Renaud. www.instagram.com/p/DUKotS1ASg...

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Call me crazy, but I think Threshold is actually a lot of fun.

Detective, Hole.

Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) 37min. Un golpe. Duro. Narra de manera expedita la vida y muerte del periodista gráfico Brent Renaud. Alguien a quien yo no conocía, pero al parecer tenía mucha influencia en el periodismo de impacto estadounidense.

I wonder when A24 is going to make this animated movie. sfstandard.com/2026/01/27/c...

Here's a much more interesting type of ice (lower case) to read about. New findings on the thickness of the ice shell on Jupiter's moon Europa. (Spoiler alert: 15-18 miles) www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-j...

Nominated for Best Documentary Short Film at the Academy Awards.

Judging by the size of these chicken fingers, that chicken had to be somewhere between 7' to 10' tall.

[whispering to Miller] He'll throw you to the wolves. You'll never get a pardon. It's now or never! [slithering over to Trump] He plots against you sire! Throwing him in the dungeon will send a message to the others!

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

AFGE is the American Federation of Government Employees. Local 3669 represents professional employees in the Minneapolis VA Health Care System. Alex Pretti was a union man.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

can you imagine being the federal agent assigned to bluesky, just getting scolded by deep space nine experts while all your buddies get like challenge coins

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Let’s be clear what happened. A registered nurse who is a federal employee was filming, armed goons pushed someone near him and he attempted to help them up. He then got pepper sprayed, tackled, disarmed, and THEN many seconds later was executed on the street.

He was a nurse.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

These state sponsored murders have to stop.

Armed Only with a Camera is incredible humanist work from some of our greatest verite directors, who are forced to move out of the form into something more deeply personal due to the tragedy that is central to the film. When you see a film like this it’s easy to think...

It would be a fitting tribute for Brent Renaud if this documentary won an Academy Award. I'll never forget meeting and visiting with Brent and Craig at the Little Rock Film Festival. Cherished memories

Just realized if I turned Free Solo on right now I'll finish it just in time to watch the Netflix live climb

Documentary about Little Rock journalist Brent Renaud nominated for Academy Award #arkansas

This is really cool

Such welcome news. Armed Only With a Camera, the film about the late Brent Renaud, the first American journalist killed while covering the war in Ukraine, is nominated for an Oscar. An extraordinary film about an extraordinary filmmaker.

I keep thinking about this timelapse from the last Little Rock Film Festival today. We had a short film in the program about the Miami based artist Aholsniffsglue and he did a huge mural for our offices as part of a reception. Brent Renaud is there taking photos of the event youtu.be/ESy93qX9Y9w?...

Brent and Craig Renaud are masters of cinéma vérité filmmaking through an extremely empathetic and humanist lens. This film is a masterwork, but something that people may not be talking about is how the tragedy central to this film inherently forces a change in the form of their filmmaking.

Happy news. Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud is nominated for a best documentary Oscar. Brent was the first American journalist killed in Ukraine. It was one of my favorites from last year. It’s available on HBOMAX.

The 2026 Academy Award nominations arrived this morning, and a film about Brent Renaud, the Arkansas documentarian who was killed in March 2022 while reporting on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, made the cut.
