A satellite imaging firm said it will indefinitely withhold visuals of Iran to comply with a request from the U.S. government

Edinburgh by @alexanderchee.bsky.social is one of my favorite books ever. A read that manages to be incredibly hard and incredibly beautiful. So glad to see it get this anniversary edition. www.instagram.com/p/DWtx-rTAJO...

Jesus fuck. No crew lists, Airsoft, the effects guy has a conviction for explosives, props falling on crew (including the set medic), this set is horrific.

Capitalism has always been entwined in movies and TV. It just had better results when they pandered to your libidinal energies through sex and violence instead of pandering to the narcissism of nostalgia.

Also NEWS! I am teaching an updated and improved, also I would say cyclopean and batrachian, perhaps cthonic, version of my MODERN COSMIC HORROR WRITING class for @carlbrandon.bsky.social ! May 16-17! This is a deep dive with text analysis, examples, a reading/resource list, and exercises!

If you haven't listened to the Behind the Bastards on Pete Hegseth you probably should. ALSO I realize the above could be problematic - I'm not shit talking people in recovery. But Hegseth is allegedly not.

Friendly reminder that Hegseth is allegedly an alcoholic who abuses women and is thus unfit for the position he currently occupies.

SOMETHING GOOD - NEGRO KISS is considered the earliest depiction of Black affection in film. It was re-discovered in 2017.

It was a pleasure speaking with @allyfield.bsky.social about her incisive new book LABOR OF LOVE: BLACK PERFORMANCE AND THE KISS THAT CHANGED FILM—a work I find to be equally revealing and thrilling. Our conversation via LA Review of Books.

The mayor of Laurens, NY was arrested & charged with child r*** and still kept his position, where he served ice cream & worked with State & County law enforcement to talk about "safety" (before being arrested a second time) www.allotsego.com/laurens-mayo...

Take a look back at Wunmi Mosaku's amazing awards season!

I don’t have the right energy to survive the BS posts and “news” available on the internet today 😑

In other news, I am really excited to share some new initiatives we're launching at The Rumpus including increased pay, writing and editorial fellowships, and microgrants. therumpus.net/2026/03/31/e...

Let’s face it…He’s a lying dictator.

As I said. The regime is now acting like a mafia.

I need to shoutout my young students at Eastern High School, who have been working hard this month to revive their school newspaper! They were very excited to receive their press badges today. I am extremely proud of them!!!!

Nearly a million acres. Gone. They are almost contained now but the fire risk remains due to drought.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

An amendment in India that could strip legal gender recognition from one in five of the world’s Trans+ people stands in stark contrast to the country’s long history of gender diversity.

First order of business type stuff. Fuck you, Kirsty

The NYPD is not required to protect New Yorkers, city lawyers argue in court filing

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

glad i take 5 minute showers instead of ten minute showers to save the planet

"Gene Roddenberry wasn’t some starry-eyed dreamer. He was a decorated Army bomber pilot in the Pacific Theater. He had seen first-hand the grim consequences of the worst of human nature. And his vision of the future wasn’t just a promise of hope. It was also a warning." -- Alex Kurtzman

Congrats to all the assholes who shit on Starfleet Academy, which had the best first season of a Star Trek show in franchise history, white supremacist homophobic Paramount has cancelled the show and you won and now there is no Trek in production Do you feel like winners? You assholes

Earlier today in Queens, a woman who’s lived in her home for 20 years was forcibly removed from her home and arrested by NYPD, who mobilized their ESU barricade unit to remove her & at least 2 community advocates inside. StopDeedTheft says this is an illegal eviction resulting from deed theft.

Two things: --Fucking fuck cancer; --the long-out-of-print FRIGHT NIGHT 2 is a blast and buying a ticket to this Salem, MA premiere of the new 4K restoration will raise funds to indeed fucking fuck cancer. Two birds, one stone, do a good thing on a Friday.

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

Ol' Bob was a hatin, rapin, racist, monster. And boy did he have America fooled because he was central casting's aw shucks nice white man. people.com/the-price-is...

Redlining started IN Chicago. When I worked with the Shame of Chicago documentary about it, none of the lawyers, realtors, city/state staff, bankers, etc. we screened it for in Chicago knew about this history (mid)shaping their industries with systemic racism until the film. shameofchicagodoc.org
