princes with a thousand enemies

Tim Curry as William Shakespeare (1978)

One thing I've seen for the entirety of my life is the jobs done by women and people of color get worse and worse and worse (like retail, hospitality, and child care) while politicians hand wring about white male blue collar sectors that employ like 15 people like coal miners.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

Eyewitness video from the scene of today's ICE shooting in California appears to (you guessed it) contradict officials' claims that the man "weaponized" his vehicle. The car is reversing and the agents appear to be well clear of it.

Thrilled to say that we’ll be teaming up with our friends at Hollywood Entertainment to bring Elaine May’s masterpiece MIKEY AND NICKY back to theaters this summer for its 50th anniversary. More soon — for now, check out the release at @indiewire.com: www.indiewire.com/news/general...

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Viewers noticed Ryan Coogler appears to have a guitar and treble clef braided in his hair at the #Oscars

Today, the Oscars celebrate achievements in film—but did you know the awards were originally designed to bust Hollywood unions?

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Congrats to "ELPIS" by Heather Tahl, a Finalist in the Internet Archive’s 2026 Public Domain Film Remix Contest. 🎬 After all art was harvested, it was discarded, and artists search for means to create & survive. Full film ➡️ archive.org/details/elpi... #PublicDomain #PublicDomainDay

A comparison of a cut to the police budget with a cut to library budget should start with the fact that the line item for police is $6 billion+ and that they always receive far more than this in overtime etc.

David Lynch making a mixtape like

Frederick Wiseman - rare case where a 96-year-old filmmaker’s death feels tragic because they had so much more left to do. Uninterrupted streak of curiosity, empathy, wisdom, and quiet anger, ended only by the reality of living in a human body.

Had to draw this beautiful gay Dardevil costume design (made for the terrible film I believe). James O'Barr's THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

Only 32 years late to the party seeing VIVE L’AMOUR for the first time. A masterpiece yearning and alienation. The hungry eroticism of loneliness, the loneliness of hungry eroticism.

this is why you should *never* hit someone with an rpg. it’s dangerous, it’s shitty, and it’s wrong

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets. They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.
