God Kurosawa.

Another gross thing he’s done is make saying Merry Christmas into this culture war bullshit where people can use it like a slur, I’ve always said it to people because that was never a thing you couldn’t say and literally the only time I’ve felt uncomfortable saying it is when shit like this happens

in the end, the future of cinema is Hundreds of Beavers

SAUDI ARABIA v. CAPE VERDE

We're doing pogroms in America now

Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

Truly an icon of American 80s/90s/00s pop cinephilia. Emphatically "edgy" demeanour masking safe, middle-of-the-road tastes. You could have told me this is the Nostalgia Critic's list and I would probably have believed you.

This this this

À propos of no movie currently in US theatres, here is one of my favourite poems, "Anne Hathaway" by Carol Ann Duffy.

Remember when Aaron Sorkin won an Oscar for THE SOCIAL NETWORK and took time out of his thank-you speech to apologise to Mark Zuckerberg for having a character call him an asshole in the final scene? Feels like an emblematic moment in the history of coddling US technofascism.

Fascism doesn't rise to power, power lowers itself to accommodate fascism until its in the gutter

[trans people fired from all federal jobs] [trans people fired from all military jobs] [trans people fired from jobs everywhere] [cis people fired for being accused of being trans] [cis professors fired for mentioning trans people exist] [trans teacher fired for giving a bad grade to Nazi] liberal:

you can now get trans people fired from academia by just turning in unambiguously garbage work for them to grade, getting a bad grade, and then having the conservative propaganda apparatus take it from there

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

A girl in a science class at OU got a bad grade for a paper she turned in on gender that only cited her interpretation of the bible. She complained to the university and now the university is punishing the professor of the course.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

Soooo… Pixar's ELIO is actually quite good, eh.

this man has an approval rating in the mid-30s and dropping, everything he does turns to shit, you do not have to do this

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

America has gone full Nazi and it’s time to call out those accountable: Democrats not getting on board purging around a dozen trans athletes from the NCAA —Tomorrow in The NY Times from some tedious twat

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.

I'm only one episode into season five of STRANGER THINGS, so this may well be intentional, but I'm confused as to what age they're going for with Nell Fisher's character.

Ariel Dorfman & Armand Mattelart, "How to Read Donald Duck"

Translation: "If you don't use AI then the guys using our chips can't pretend to make money and can't pay the loans they took out to pay for the original loans they took out for all the money they're not making and it all falls apart and we can't sell chips to fuel the money they're not making."

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

"Don't call your soul your own" – what a fucking line.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

"The crime genes." Jesus fucking Christ.

"What strong views on diversity?" "Ohh you know the ones..."

Democrat posting is something else.

"Catch him while you can. But you’ll never catch him." Fabulous write-up by Damien Love on the strange, wonderful, utterly captivating experience of witnessing a Bob Dylan concert in 2025. www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/bob-...

None of this is normal.

heres an example of politico covering the news while still covering for trump. the headline says trump is calling for a "trial" for dems. but what trump actually said is the dems should be offed. its very plain what he said. not saying so is a cover-up.

Enjoyed PREDATOR: BADLANDS, not least because it feels like a gentrified tribute to ALIEN VS. PREDATOR.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

This is easily an order of magnitude larger than the number of firings in the entire years-long 'cancel culture' panic. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Lovely to see my FIFA 13 purchase thriving. #SCODEN

The racism metaphor in ZOOTOPIA isn't great, as we all know (though I would defend some aspects of it), but other than that – this and MOANA really was the last time Disney Animation movies were good.

make something new! here im gonna take literally 15 seconds: a donkey wants to be a rodeo horse. songs by tyler childers.

Das ist übrigens Eugenik. Wenn du einmal beginnst zu selektieren, wem du hilfst und wem nicht, dann gehst du einen Weg, der nicht aufzuhalten ist. Streeck ist Mediziner und weiß das natürlich. Das macht es so perfide. Vor allem, weil er zwei rhetorische Tricks verwendet:

Musk and others on the far right are obsessed with things like Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons because they see fantasy worlds as reinforcing their own beliefs about immutable hierarchies of race, gender, and by extension morality www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I'm always saying this.

Congratulations to the Cuomo team: it takes a lot of dedication and money to lose one election twice.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people
