Wow!

Just a reminder that this came out 7 years ago. It's still America.

First film I'm legitimately excited to see this year! Must have watched the trailer five times.

Temu is done.

As seen and heard on Chambers Street tonight. More info on the installation: emmettpalaima.com/CHAMBERS-HUM

Say it!

It kills them to actually give artists a piece of something they made.

If none of the current atrocities are affecting you on any level, congratulations. You're the 1%. If you don't think any of the current atrocities will eventually affect you, congratulations. You're in a coma. Stay there. You're probably better off.

This level of outrage or just stay home.

The Americans should return to television. Think about it. They come back to THIS America.

Just putting this out there: if you want someone to read an article that you deem currently urgent or important, then please gift it if you can. Not everyone subscribes to The New York Times. It may be for financial reasons. It may be on principle, but not everyone can hop over the paywall.

“We are currently clean on op sec.”

Hollywood made this joyous man cry!

Unwinding with some Haneke.

At the North Tower footprint remembering late night hanging out with high school friends between the two. Different times. Different world.

The thing to understand about this is, this could be any one of us. Today it’s this man, tomorrow it’s someone else, and the world is watching. His presidency could end tomorrow and the world will not only not trust us for what he’s done, but not trust us for allowing him to do what he’s done.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

The essence of what’s at stake here.

We’re hiring a full time bookseller to work at our NYC storefront, the oldest mystery bookstore in the world. Experience and/or mystery expertise preferred. Interested parties can send resumes to [email protected]. Thanks!

The teaser for PTA’s new film is live.

Love to see it!

oh is it bad when you put people out of work for political reasons

Creating a list for reference. Recommendations wanted. @saltyshep.bsky.social I know you’re good for a few.

New post alert! Where you can tell two friends and then they’ll tell two friends and then they’ll tell two friends…

Because that’s the world you wanna be wealthy in.

Anyone would agree with this. But now we live in a country with no rule of law. Anyone can be snatched off the street and sent to a foreign jail without even a phone call. Take care of yourselves out there.

I mean seriously, who you gonna call?

There won’t be a tipping point. If anything has taught us anything about the last nine years, it’s that human beings have an incredible capacity for getting used to anything.

So cool.

If you haven’t heard, vaccines work.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism. Mass direct action. #TeslaTakedown

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

I was raised in a Republican household, as well as a Catholic household. I know what got us here all too well. All I can hope for is that some people come around and that history will be the final judge if we’re actually still around to reflect on that history.

They’re just not built for this.

Please tell me you’re starting to get a handle on the severity of this. Please tell me you understand that it starts at the top with journalist and politicians then trickles down to everyday people. The end goal is to keep everyone poor and terrified. Please tell me you understand this.

Academy Award winning production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti was born 84 years ago today. He died at age 53, complications from HIV/AIDS. Collaborated with Bertolucci, Visconti, DePalma, and was a huge influence on Paul Schrader.

Seems very low when comparing to my IRL usage. I better work on this.

🎶She Wore Blue Velvet🎶 The real David Lynch In Memoriam tribute we deserved.

I really hope the Democrats remember decorum during The State Of The Union tonight.

Where I live now: The Saracens Where I was born: The Moonrunners would be the closest.

David Lynch deserved a full tribute during the Oscars. I’m sorry, I recognize the institution that is James Bond, but those 7 minutes should have been dedicated to the loss of the greatest American director

- Conclave cost $20m - The Substance* cost $18m - The Brutalist cost $10m - Anora cost $6m - Flow cost €3.5m - A Real Pain cost $3m - I’m Still Here cost $1.48m Really good Oscar year for modest and low budget indies

Rockin’ the Gardens.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help
