Geopolitics are so historically inhumane they’re almost impossible to discuss without sounding like a naive isolationist or oblivious to the horrors seen as “normal.” But I try to take solace in the knowledge that most people don’t want *this*. The checks & balances are just farcically inept.

Annapolis protest today

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today. His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch. #RIP 💔

Imagine wandering, dazed, out of “Terminator 2” in ‘91 only to be greeted by your future self from the unimaginably distant 2026, who shows you the following

Last night’s viewing

Life has been so relentless that I haven’t had time to really process Frederick Wiseman‘s passing, but texting with a fellow fan just now reminded me that I need to cobble together a list of the Wiseman movies I haven’t seen (or in the case of Welfare, haven’t finished) Got some catching up to do!

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

As we wait to see what will become of Warner Bros., remember: if there’s art you value and know you’ll want to live with it over time, buy it physically (if you can afford to, if it exists in physical form)

I’ve decided to make “Shaheed, take us the fuck outta here“ my private personal incantation for the end of every work week

underground art is important (and important to ME personally) but a world where nobody ever gets a big budget to take a big weird swing is still massively depressing

Forrest Gander: Isn’t the past a constant, fluid, upwelling constituent of the present? Robert Beatty: It’s such an insane thing. And people have a hard time understanding that. People kind of drop off. www.splicetoday.com/pop-culture/...

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons

Celebrating the end of a very long week with some AE For various reasons I’m unlikely to see any of these shows and have made my peace with that archive.org/details/Aute...

🤣

If you’re coming to Baltimore for AWP, make sure you pick up a copy!

Hillary Clinton’s fire and fury opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.

When you were growing up, watching movies and TV shows, did you ever just naturally assume that a key actor or actress onscreen was the singer of the intro song or main theme song?

The Apple Music post-track shunt strikes again m.youtube.com/watch?v=cImR...

I’ll never get tired of stuff like this

"Newspapers did not kill themselves."

This has made for some great listening today “Compilation of women and nonbinary folks in Tennessee who make noise and otherwise experimental music. Proceeds going to Chattanooga Queer Empowerment.” leperwitch.bandcamp.com/album/volunt...

What a world it would be if we could all make a solid living doing work we’re actually passionate about

Choo choo, motherlover

“Clip’N’Save”, as we used to say

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

well, *of course* Harry Bosch fucks with Kamasi Washington

I wish these two would make another comedy together, about whatever (with Rose Byrne of course) m.youtube.com/shorts/Jrnz0...

I posted an earlier version of this, uncertain if it was finished. I added some more. I’m still not sure, but sometimes you just have to stop. Acrylic on Canvas. 60cm x 90cm #art #abstractart #irishart #interiordesign #donegal

I’ve never seen ”Father of the Bride”, but the impression I‘ve always had from the trailer and whatever previews is that it’s basically 90 minutes of Steve Marvin looking chagrined

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

Good morning, friends!

"People can learn a lot in film school. I’m surprised, however, by students’ dominant interest in technology rather than content. I think the technology should be at the service of the content, not the other way around." www.theparisreview.org/interviews/7...

these people are fucking freaks, man

Incredible shot of Rep. Al Green holding up a "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES!" sign with Trump in the foreground from photographer Kenny Holston (Getty)

I’m sure it’s a good sign that Trump looks like he was embalmed before walking out onstage

just sprung into my head just now, especially the chorus, can’t imagine why m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk1W...

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Yes. @joegross.bsky.social

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas
