Two more Cronenberg movies I watched while trapped in my house during the Snow. SURGERY IS THE NEW SEX

Two beautiful books of drawn snowflakes. This first one was published in Japan between 1830-1844. You can see it in full here: dl.ndl.go.jp/ja/pid/25369...

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Funny role-reversal in how the Left is starting to take up the 2nd Amendment while the Right are now the ones claiming it's not absolute

prolly my favorite ATL band rn: Atlanta Space Quartet youtu.be/2ys1V3dHB58?...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It can get lower!

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

Put me in a deep sleep for the next three years, please and thank you.

Trying to give myself a break from the news to avoid another rage headache. In the meantime I’ll be watching more Cronenberg. Only one flick from this batch gets goopy! Guess the film, win a prize

Dimanche matin. Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Chantal Akerman (1975)

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

ICE getting harassed in the public bathroom instead of trans people

The trouble with fascism is that eventually you run out of other people's children

LEAD THE WAY MINNESOTA! Fucking inspiring

normal dog, switzerland, 15th century

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Two people on opposite sides of a large block of ice use their mouths to melt the cube and come together in a kiss. <<Icebreaker>> Two hour performance, using ice and natural heat. Anabelle Lee Dehm, Wally Waliszewski (August 2023)

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Imagine the psychic pressure of so many millions of people hoping for your death

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done,” journalist Garrett Graff wrote: “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

what they understand about authoritarianism they have gotten from movies and YA novels

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
