Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

A less carved-up but prominently evil Mickey Rourke clone, it seems.

Looks like the Substack -> Ghost post import went well. Next...the editing and formatting. Let's watch some movies first.

Had someone ask if I have a list of the work I've done for physical media, and yes! It's the only thing I use Letterbxd for!

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

Sinners is a better movie than One Battle After Another. Eddington is a far deeper and uncompromising satire. Even Superman had more conviction about where it stands on its politics and how it uses contemporary imagery of oppressed people… Phantom Thread, ok now there’s a masterpiece.

"For me, there is a cruel irony in this situation: I won protection from deportation to El Salvador...But now, I’m facing brutal conditions right here, in the United States." A detainee on hunger strike at the ICE facility at Angola shared his story w @veritenews.org. veritenews.org/2025/09/26/l...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is the kind of film the Ministry of Culture bans right before offering Paul Thomas Anderson the position of head of the Ministry of Culture.

There have been so many effusive reviews, which is great, but it also makes me curious to read POVs that have a more critical analysis so I appreciate Aaron’s thoughts (even good movies can and should withstand that!)

“I’m not an educator, Bill… and neither are you. You have a tv show.” 👀 🔥

One nice thing about the Ghost migration: I'm bringing all of my online stuff together in one place, and I've decided to make it as easy as possible to find. So from now on, drewmcweeny.com is the front door for everything.

Another day that I'm thankful for the ACA Medicaid Expansion in Louisiana, as signed into law (Obama) and accepted (John Bel Edwards) by Democratic leaders. Vote Left, y'all.

Setting things up for a minimalist Ghost-powered site, hosted by Magic Pages, to place my blog/newsletter. I should have things fully migrated over and ready to show by mid-October, in time for some film fests. Finally. ⚜️🍿

“The movie’s wild, fiery conclusion gives both Emma Thompson and Judy Greer a chance at more physicality than we’re accustomed to seeing from them. It’s gonzo entertainment,” writes @christylemire.bsky.social about DEAD OF WINTER.

I'll have more to say in November but wrote down some quick thoughts about attending An Evening with Ken Burns last night.

I love Louisiana and New Orleans with all my heart, but this NOLA Ready text hit a bit different as I was buying something at a small store in New Hampshire, where there’s no sales or income tax but the infrastructure seems to be in good shape.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

This should be done in every county, with every data center.

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

Agreed on all 4 points

NYC Public Advocate @jumaane.bsky.social: “There are tens of thousands of people whose names we will never know who stood up and was the light in the dark times that got us through.”

IMPORTANT: 911 service has gone dark statewide in Mississippi. @nickjudin.bsky.social is compiling a list of backup emergency numbers for cities across the state in the story (updating as he goes). www.mississippifreepress.org/911-emergenc...

Hey y’all, so not so fun morning on the debt consolidation front as it looks like I’m going to have to cancel my health insurance so I can increase my payments on my debt so I don’t have to go to court for one bill. In any case, just thought I’d share our eBay store again: ebay.us/m/Gxnycd

At a conference this year, many Wikipedia editors felt both that attacks from the Trump administration were a genuine threat and that being cast as “the resistance” risked jeopardizing the encyclopedia’s position of trusted neutrality. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

I just received a text and voicemail that there's a regional outage of emergency 911 lines. Be prepped. #nolasky

The reason we're releasing this in theatres is because it's incredibly fun to watch in a room full of people. People lose their minds at it. We want people to watch it together. So! Do you run or know somebody who runs an indie theatre? If so, contact us, and we'll let you screen it for free.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

I'm struggling to find reviews from black women anywhere, including here. That should be really telling for people, but alas. Might just have to find a way to write one myself.

“…self-definition is the prerequisite for self-determination.” "...tastemaking conventions that, if you ask me, are quietly gutting the culture surrounding cinema." Hmm. tedhope.substack.com/p/the-new-fi...
