Lots of folks saying “this is good” but no, it very much is not. 1) this is the 4th amendment 2) this is a historical norm at worst 3) this is already required 4) again, at worst an historic norm 5) 4A 6) 4A 7) fine 8) good if enforceable 9) useless 10) again, at worst a historical norm

Seven of the Best Picture nominees are in my top 10 this year. My tastes have become so mid.

Finally, FINALLY saw The Secret Agent. Moura deserves to win Best Actor Honestly, might deserve Best Picture too.

We can ratio him to 10k if we believe hard enough

This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it. Spread this one far and wide.

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"

2027 Super Bowl ad 60-year-old Robin Wright: Farm boy? Order me dinner 64-year-old Cary Elwes: As you wish Horrific AI recreation of Peter Falk's voice: What she realized that day was that when he said "as you wish," what he really meant was "I'll get UberEats"

Finally going to be able to see The Secret Agent tomorrow night. Then possibly The Testament of Ann Lee the next day.

Jeffries either has no control over his caucus or he’s consistently lying to the media and voters about his intentions and either way it’s an embarrassing display for the Democrats

Just realized there’s almost no way these sick billionaire fucks haven’t eaten human meat, likely on more than one occasion.

Seriously, New York (City), you guys need to make Schumer so uncomfortable that he out and out resigns from the Senate, altogether. He makes Neville Chamberlain look like Ghengis fuckin Khan.

Okay, when is enough finally going to be enough?! This man is a perfect storm of bad! He talks to a family of centrist Great Gazoos for advice in his head for fuck’s sake! We need to oust him as minority speaker BEFORE the year is over.

I’m still waiting for a Shattered Glass type biopic on James Somerton.

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

Anyone else having an issue with the Criterion Channel where the just added/leaving soon lists are messed up? @criterionchannl.bsky.social

Look, for all I know this movie will end up sucking, but Letterboxd needs to do something about prerelease review bombing. This is embarrassing.

There was a guy I knew from high school who blocked me in 2014 for being “hyperbolic” concerning Gamergate. Fuck you, Kevin. I was right.

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Yeah, this is one they could not recast.

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About https://theonion.com/democrats-sick-of-being-blamed-for-cowardice-on-issues-1847675639/

On one hand, I don’t really see a reason why Richard Schiff couldn’t reprise the role from the game, but this is extremely good casting nonetheless.

Source: ICE to begin using empty Melania theaters as temporary detention facilities.

You’re telling me this late 90’s Parker Posey indie movie pothead is a representative

“Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole” should not be a Netflix series, it should be a dive bar frequented by cops and crime writers

I can't think of anything less useful than sitting here yelling "Don't be fooled by Trump's change in tone!" at each other. This is Bluesky. Who here is under the impression that this app is full of people who are easily fooled by Trump?

New CBS News contributors: Aaron Rodgers, Roseanne Barr, Anton Chigurh, Stephen Miller, Stephen Miller (the other one), Stephen Miller (found a third one), a smokin' hot babe with huge bazongas, Walter White, Tom (not Jerry), big bucket of gravy, Budd Dwyer (deceased), Thomas Chatterton Williams.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go. Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go. Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go. As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Five panels from V FOR VENDETTA (written by Alan Moore, art by David Lloyd)

Snowed in. I’ve gone mad with cabin fever after 25 minutes of being awake and put on Ryan’s Daughter in my delirious state. Time to see if the critics from 1970 were right or not.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

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.

We’re going to have to systematically dismantle this cancerous movement. - Strip the dark money groups and political churches of tax exempt status - Target right-wing media with antitrust - Oust right-wing bullshit from academia and law schools - Root out fascists in government and law enforcement

there is no centrist solution to ICE

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

You know what’s gonna happen? They’re just gonna drop all pretense and bring out submachine guns. They’ll just open fire on a crowd. Kill over 100. And Chuck Schumer will still only talk about the price of eggs.

Teens say they hate piloting the mech but then they keep getting back into the mech??? Like okay?????

Alright, saw F1. Are you shitting me with that Best Picture nomination? Boring as all hell.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

A lot of The Core (2003) is men arguing with each other while Hilary Swank looks at them sadly.

Democrats Condemn ICE For Murdering Without Proper Warrants https://theonion.com/democrats-condemn-ice-for-murdering-without-proper-warrants/

She now has the third longest gap between first and second acting nomination for any actor at 40 years. The other two are Judd Hirsch (42 years) and Henry Fonda (41 years). Previous third place was Stallone (39 years).

I simply find it impossible to take seriously anyone who does a ratings breakdown like this. Get out of the sandbox.

Am I the only that got the entire Best Actress lineup 5/5?

Okay, I guess I need to watch F1 now

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
