#foursmovierush 2/45 La Jetée too lazy to repeat myself in different words so have a comment I made about it elsewhere! Very famous french new wave short film. More of a slideshow than a film really. Some neat ideas, but the story is ultimately a basic bootstrap paradox.

Starting up a media thread for my 45 day movie rush. Using #foursmovierush to tag it. Movie 1: Zodiac has a lot of DNA it shares with Memories of Murder from a mood standpoint. Unrelentingly bleak. The composition is a lot brighter and more vibrant. I like both choices and think both reflect well

Decided I'm watching 45 movies in the next 45 days! Pray for me.

Downloaded tiktok. I have a new most boomer thought and it's genuinely how do people use this. It was instantly overwhelming lmao.

I'm doing something extremely wicked (considering getting a tiktok)

Begging anyone defending the cave to give one tangible benefit to the public of the dems caving and getting downvoted for my troubles. About to pop a blood vessel.

Current mood. Had it up to here with sniveling apologists for backstabbers.

Something that keeps coming up in discussions with people saying dems did everything they could. Either aca subsidies are worth people going hungry or they're not worth that. The senate needed to make that calculus 40 days ago not halfway through because they got a wild hair in their ass. Either

Clair obscur is so cool! Almost makes me wish France was real.

👀

Asking Pennsylvania pals because I'm curious. Could Summer Lee win a primary against Fetterman if Gaza became a topic? What about if it didn't? Trying to scope out who to put some weight behind.

We're seeing new frontiers in dem juche posting. Fetterman's approval being 54% disapprove 33% approve among dems is "close to 50/50" apparently. Genuinely flabbergasted.

Bittersweet that BWC is retiring. I am for retirements and hanging it up with grace when you're part retirement age (and she's well past that to be clear). But I can't help but feel NJ is going to disappoint me with her replacement.

So as some of you may know, my state of Indiana is doing mid district redistricting. Or attempting to. Not clear they have the votes. Anyway I wrote my state senator and state rep about it. I was surprised by my state rep writing back and not being overwhelmingly hostile to my pov. Her reply below:

Caver knifing schumer on the way out

Reminder, if there was ever an ounce of doubt this was all calculated. No non retiring seats in 26 from either vote. - Durbin (x2) - Shaheen (x2) - Peters (March) in 28: - Fetterman (x2) - Hassan (potential retirement, x2) - Schatz (March) - Schumer (March) in 2030: ->

Shopping for popcorn, tea, and coffee at 3 am. Nothing can ever go wrong if you get popcorn tea and coffee at 3 am. Always shop at 3 am. See y'all when I wake up in 6 hours mystified.

Democracy maintenance and reform is the ONLY issue on the ballot for 2026/28. We need to 1. Abolish the senate 2. Abolish DHS/ICE/BP 3. End the pardon power 4. Ban Gerrymandering 5. Enact proportional representation 6. Uncap the house 7. Curtail executive overreach just for starters.

Current line up of candidates I'd like to see/will be supporting in 2026 Colorado: Negeuse/DeGette Delaware: Wilson-Anton Florida: Tentatively Mujica Georgia: Deeply reluctantly Ossoff Iowa: Tentatively Walhs Maine: Someone with a pulse and not a nazi Mass: Pressley Mich: El-Sayed/McMorrow

Don't agree with Zach on term limits but he's now my favored candidate for Iowa Senate. Consider supporting his brave stance here.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Hick, Warner, Booker, Reed. We need somebody to launch a challenge.

Remember. If you are in Illinois and hate what Durbin did, do NOT vote for Raja. If you are in Minnesota and want more of what Tina Smith provides, vote FOR Flannagan. If you are in Michigan and don't want another Slotkin, do NOT vote for Stevens. We need to navigate these primaries carefully.

There's not a single reason for AOC to not announce her run for Schumer's seat tonight. He cannot meet the moment to fight against trump. He can't control his own caucus. Tonight is the night that she needs to say enough is enough.

They have the votes officially as I type this. Let primary season begin. The traitor collaborator caucus is as follows: Fetterman- PA Rosen- Nevada Cortez-Masto- Nevada Kaine- Virginia Hassan- NH Shaheen- NH King- Maine Durbin- Illinois

Currently watching C-span. We'll see how this goes. I know there are six hard yes votes in the dems.

The yes votes on the shutdown ending bill are your marching orders of who to primary for the next 5 years. Don't let a single one of them live it down.

I have been an active door knocker, campaigner, and donator for the past decade and a half to dems. Never thought I'd have to wage war on my own party to get them to wake the fuck up but here I am. I live in a R+50 area and I still campaign here. I campaign in the bigger nearby blue city. I pour my

How does this always happen. From the absolute manic high of Tuesday's elections to the senate dems knifing us in the back, AGAIN. FOR NOTHING. Every god damn time.

Ready to dedicate at a minimum $50 a paycheck to the defeat of the current dem senate caucus. It's not much but its all I can do. And as we all know money is speech right.

Not enough of these guys fear primaries.

Any of my moots up for a primary every last one of them fund on dem senators?

Senate dems are making me agree with MattY and House Dems. Fucking criminal behavior.

Dreaming of the day that elected dems hate those fascists freaks in power as much as every normal human that is forced to interact with them daily does. Just pretend they're all ted cruz, it's not far off from the truth anyway.

y'all ever stare at a list of things you could be doing and be like "oh that sounds nice" instead of doing them are do you have normal executive function?

Just watched the great dictator. I have a great idea about a barber with a terrible comb over and a burnt orange spray tan.

So I was building my budget for next year and I discovered I can be out from under one of my loans sometime next year. With a bonus from work or a decent tax return it'll go even faster. I have to live a little lean until then but I'm willing to do crazy things to get out from under this debt

Pro tip: Your student loan servicer probably has a "see amount paid to date" button. Do not under any circumstances click this button. It will ruin your day.

I used to muse privately that Chuck Schumer was not a a "wartime consigliere", not a man to meet the moment. I'd like to take this chance to apologize. Not to chuck, fuck that guy. To everyone else for believing there was a moment schumer was capable of meeting.

the lesson of jeffries is also that we cannot let the old guard pick the new leadership either. sorry schatz and murphy, but neither of you have stood up to schumer, and neither of you deserve to lead the caucus

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom. going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

A massive result: Maine voters have rejected Question 1, a ballot measure that would have restricted mail voting and put into place strict new voter ID requirements. This outcome was no sure thing heading into tonight. The measure’s failure preserves current voter access in Maine, as 2026 looms.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

******If you’re in line to tell Chuck Schumer to eat shit, stay in line!!******

ok now that zohran is the mayor all focus has to be on ousting chuck schumer
