It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

So… is someone going to start up an alternative peace prize, to give Bisan the award?

Happening now in the world of film and politics: Yesterday 50 Israeli doc filmmakers publish open letter expressing “profound shame,” “helplessness,” over genocide in Gaza & solidarity with global boycott of Israeli cultural institutions.

So, agents wear masks in public for “fear” of being doxxed when it is part of their job to be accountable for their actions, but members of the public with Constitutional rights have their liberties stripped by the government that uses a third party organization that…(checks notes)…doxxes?

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

Fantastic Bolex camera filmmaking workshop at Main Film yesterday #FreeLuigi @mainfilm.bsky.social

On this note: universities were literally creating policies last November *before the election* to comply with new CHIPS language restricting scientific collaboration with people from certain countries, including China

Feels like this is echoing the turn towards big funding for social impact films in Hollywood some years ago, but then actually that leading to apolitical films without social justice outcomes.

Convincing people to wait on the hoped-for benevolence of rich people rather than taxing the shit out of them and having fully funded social welfare programs is the greatest trick that Regan ever pulled.

IOF storm Al-Quds University, east of occupied Jerusalem, ahead of planned student rally in solidarity with Gaza. U.S. campuses saw cops with rubber bullets. Palestinian campuses see assault rifles. This is what academic freedom looks like in 2025. x.com/qudsn/status...

“There is a young man in jail today for protesting at his college. No charges. No criminal conduct. In dictatorships, they call this ‘a disappearance’.” — Sen. Chris Murphy on the unconstitutional arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil.

Finally, my entry "Multimodal Anthropology" in Oxford Research Encyclopedia! Scholars working with multimodal methods embrace new methods while being aware of limitations. This awareness centers intersectional feminist and decolonial approaches to anthropology. oxfordre.com/anthropology...

Disgraceful. All the more glad that Francesca Albanese will speak at Utrecht University on Friday (www.uu.nl/en/events/pu...). Says a lot that Germany continues to beat the Netherlands in academic repression even though NL are the ones with the far right government in power

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: We are not a 50/50 country. We are a gerrymandered and voter suppressed country. Should we ever resolve those issues (...), then, perhaps, we'll know the actual extent of our political divisions.
