increasingly convinced preventing americans from getting their little packages is the thing that will take this government down

I was in gifted programs from 4th-12th grade. Even at the time I understood them to be segregationist at heart. I grew up in Maryvale, a working-class Phoenix suburb, in a district with a higher-than-average percentage of minority students, and I could count the non-white "gifted" kids on one hand

There is no better movie you can watch right now than A Hidden Life to steel your moral code, to draw red line your soul will not cross.

if the government doesn’t show up for ten minutes we all get the day off

Hey @apnews.com who’s in charge of every branch of government right now

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Ezra Klein: Donald Trump is doing videos the right way

“I have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. “Story and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.” Get their ass, Werner.

social media is lousy with kleins, democrat superfans who want to tell you how to be incremental and circumspect, to dream small, to dodge and feint. oh you have principles? must be nice. we here in the real world understand how to be the lesser evil. useless stuff. small

Junie B update: She’s been tucking herself in to sleep on my bed. I just came in from dinner and found her like this.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

It’s my dad’s birthday weekend. Everyone say happy birthday Mike!

Reading in a thunderstorm in the woods, perfect vibes for a spooky book.

One Battle After Another is the antifa girl-dad movie I didn’t know I needed.

Sean Penn is going to win a third Oscar in a walk

Now seated LFG

this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

you can be a roman catholic grown-up boy scout, a republican, and a cold-war throwback G-man, but you write ONE lesbian novel and straight to the gulag

My mom had Huntington's disease. It is an indescribably cruel disease, like a slow, tortured rollout of both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, robbing its victims of control of body and mind. I watched her disintegrate for 20 years, every doctor unable to help. This development is a prayer answered.

This is what I do when I think about the Confederacy's humiliation

Pub day book haul. I need another set of eyes and a second brain to keep up.

He's like one shade from his base turning on him.

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

There's no more fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk than the one they're giving him right now: nominally Christian survivors on the same grift clambering over one another for more publicity, capped by the shambling, lurching embodiment of everything they long to be. You couldn't write anything meaner

I fucking started levitating in the theater during this scene in Phantom Thread

none of my posts have been as mean as this painting is

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Hit all four major food groups this week

Even if we have to whisper jokes about trump by candlelight, it will never ever stop. I hope he knows that.

welcome to The Resistance, *checks notes* *sighs* *weeps gently* ...michael eisner

To think I spent 20 years as an arts journalist paranoid about the slightest whiff of impropriety, turning down so much as a free soda at movie screenings and donating every piece of media mailed to me when that whole time I could have been Facetime fucking my sources for profit.

These guys are unpopular and dumb as rocks, they did not discover a secret 'I win' button at the heart of all politics labeled 'mean tweets' or 'cancel elections.' Keep speaking, keep writing, keep marching, keep voting, force them to show the country what they are.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Inspired by @mattseybold.bsky.social and @annakornbluh.bsky.social, Michael Ostling and I made a modest effort toward pushing back against the deluge of AI propaganda we’re facing at ASU. www.statepress.com/article/2025...

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
