not possible to regard as a single work but the most interesting thing in film this decade is waves & so long as cinema isn't too long impeded by fascism or AI slopocalypse a whole lot of the best of what comes next will connect back to waves in personnel or aesthetic (in many ways, already is...)

I feel like Joseph Heller had their number back in the 60's in Catch-22 and I still think of this quote whenever I hear farm owners complaining about socialism or benefits or taxes. It was a short little aside but it stuck with me for like 25 years.

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

AesNo's AESTHETIC SUNDAY series will be continuing on 10/5 at 3PM PT! come join us for some nice waves and replays as we cool down and make our way into october. twitch.tv/aestheticallynostalgic spooky season is quickly approaching...

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/

Reading a recipe that’s like, “marinate overnight, or at least three hours, although even just 20 minutes is fine” and it’s wild to see a chicken curry negotiate against itself in real time.

Michael Clayton tonight! Hit up the Discord for stream info.

It is! I really am working hard to stay objective in telling the news, truly. But if you’re a racist piece of shit then you’re a racist piece of shit.

they’re dabbing on us, folks

SIR MIX-O-LOTL

Wow! Can you believe that you could see this if you live nearby? I think you should do it. Massachusetts show up for the US Premiere.

audible keeps recommending that abundance book to me which is hurtful and disrespectful and needs to stop

National Tetrahedron? @bencollins.bsky.social

i smoke more weed than god, why do i remember all this stuff and nobody else seems to

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

I'm very aware of the world burning around us, but I am also holding space to focus on and talk about the stuff I love, because I refuse to let those holding the matches burn that away too.

dez rules and florida is rapidly becoming unsafe, if you can spare any bones to help them move please click thru or share!

Tonight on the ALT it's SHORTS NIGHT! Show starts around 8:15 eastern. twitch.tv/cinema720alt

"we cannot express our regrets profoundly enough, but it is our hope that you will use these two free passes to return to jurassic park"

Blessing your skyline with our neighborhood’s Trans Rights Groundbreaker

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

Ordinary people really don’t know the local Chevy dealership has its flag at half staff for a Nazi. It’s an insane state of affairs.

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

Tonight on the ALT we're watching a wave collection from MIDNIGHT DANKNESS. Show starts at 8:30 eastern join us @ twitch.tv/cinema720alt

It's not the mere fact that this is happening that bothers me so much; it's that there's all this money floating around that could be organized and deployed to solve real problems instead. Half a trillion US dollars being spent in a collective program would eliminate any problem you could think of.

This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

Another way of looking at this chart is that everything being done by the government is to keep 73% of self-identified Republicans, and virtually no one else, "satisfied, happy or thrilled"

oh easily. rip them boys to pieces

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

horse lunch

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

I'm sorry y'all but Chipocalypse Now sounds like an ad for Taco Bell nachos.

The president gets to harm as many Americans as he wants defying whatever laws he pleases and our job is to be nice to him and make sure everyone agrees he's cool. Not sure what you people don't understand about that.

coverage of these huge protests are not allowed inside the anti-reality simulacrum that trump supporters have built for themselves, which now includes most of the mainstream media

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

You still do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the NRA.

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!

once again i click "Not Interested" knowing it does nothing

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.
