This is good theology. I’d expect nothing less, knowing at least one of the people who were there, but it’s still good to see it.

Need to catch up before diving into DELHI CRIME Season 3? Here's everything you need to know: www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflix...

Absolutely bizarre that these people willingly chose to pass up the pleasures of being rich in Kokomo, Indiana

Umm. Surprised seeing that #AyanMukherji is one of the (many) credited screenwriters of #Swades !? Which makes his directing #War2 even more unforgivable imo. Lol. Given his (insanely awesome) past work, is this one of those, he’s ‘contractually held hostage by YRF’ deals?

I did not enjoy #War2. The action sequences are so jarring and cut so haphazardly that it was actually nauseating. And unnecessary, given both leads are great w action. #KiaraAdvani shines with the 4 scenes she gets. Despite an okay performance, NTR was miscast imo.

#War2 is another example of #Bollywood making movies on paper. Usually it’s ‘stars’ driving— everything. But now it’s also— Songs shot as reels. Scenes structured around cool slo-mo frames. Plot driven by one-liners. Resulting in lifeless shots w zero emotional investment.

Will incrementalism dismantle the conditions that produced this moment? Will moderation undo the damage?

New byline!! Got to shout out some of the disabled movies worth watching for @letterboxd.social!! letterboxd.com/journal/disa...

Wait -- did Amazon Prime just premiere NISHAANCHI 2 out of nowhere?! (affiliate link): amzn.to/4iizP4B #DesiWatch

NISHAANCHI debuts on Prime, and JOLLY LLB 3 comes to Netflix (along with a bunch of other Indian movies and brand new season of DELHI CRIME). Links to all in today's Streaming Video News: accessbollywood.net/2025/11/13/s... #DesiWatch

People who did not grow up here will never understand the tears that just erupted seeing TOM SKILLING's name on this

Don’t break the picket line!

today, a federal judge ordered the release of 615 people wrongfully abducted by ICE / CBP from june to october (yay!). as if they haven't already been through enough trauma and violence, they each still have to pay a $1500 bond (aka ransom & extortion) (boo!). donate here twd the $900K+ in bond:

Next Wednesday we'll host @mskellymhayes.bsky.social in conversation with organizer Ash Williams to discuss the launch of "Read this When Things Fall Apart" (@akpress.org) a new publication of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times! firestorm.coop/events/3487-...

I went to a Bill Foster healthcare town hall, which he thought would be a rah-rah pro-ACA rally. But every single question was, “Will you please support universal healthcare, so others don’t have to suffer?” And he just could not understand people operating out of something other than self-interest.

Democratic pols always say things like, “We can’t be distracted by [some non-economy issue]. My constituents are worried about feeding their families.” They can’t even comprehend that many of us also care about people we’ll never know. And that’s why we hate—and want them to fight—Republicans.

It is hard to come up with a better analogy for whiteness than preferring the AI simulacra of your supposed authentic art form to whatever a Black woman from your art form’s cultural geography might make.

Under this partition, Israel controls all of the arable farmland in the Gaza territory.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #forests #nature #biodiversity

What a great few weeks it’s been for people once pardoned by Trump. @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com @npr.org @politico.com

If Durbin weren't retiring, he would be primaried, and he would lose.

from one year ago today -

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently. In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?” And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

For the midnight crew on this #EdmundFitzgwtald50 anniversary, I have added more markups to the Newsweek article that gave Gordon Lightfoot his template for His "Wreck of" song lyrics.

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

Considering that the airlines convinced the Biden administration to change their COVID guidelines, it can’t be a coincidence that Schumer & the Senate Dems caved on the shutdown when flight cancellations started to mount just weeks before Thanksgiving.

The bumper says 'rugged working man'. But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’. Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

please learn about your local ecosystems. please. its so sad and strange to me how many people live in a place and learn nothing about the land that surrounds them and the ways in which that land has grown and changed and flourished for hundreds of years before your town even existed

This horrifies me to the core of my soul (& I think this & other recent fed actions here wildly violate the restraining order Judge Ellis issued just *days* ago). Having been exposed to pepper spray recently at Broadview, it was extremely upsetting mentally & physically. fuck ICE & BP eternally.

Same shot about an hour later

ICE is targeting Indian-Americans in Illinois and questioning them about Zohran Mamdani. WTF are these power-tripping a-holes even doing?

I went into Netflix's new Original film BARAMULLA with high hopes but was left disappointed. My review of the problematic supernatural mystery: accessbollywood.net/2025/11/07/m... #DesiWatch

Pope Leo:

you probably shouldn't let what commentators like Ezra Klein say be the limit of your imagination or determine what you think is politically possible. He doesn't have a clue what is possible.

Hell, I’d vote for someone advocating to nationalize his companies. SpaceX at least.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

This leads to what I mean by antifascist economics. It doesn’t target one party; it tackles the material conditions that make fascism appealing: insecurity, despair, unmet basic needs. Policies that make life affordable are not just social policy, they are democracy insurance.

“My friends, the world is changing. It's not a question of whether that change will come. It's a question of who will change it.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social People are choosing real alternatives instead of continuity. Mamdani stands for an antifascist economics in the name of the many. 🧵

Once upon a time, the richest Americans worried that if conditions got bad enough all the poors might just rise up against them, and so they avoided getting *too* obvious with their exploitation. Today's crop just brags about it.

If only there were actually any good billionaires 🙄

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Mira Nair, in addition to being a brilliant filmmaker, is now officially the mom of the MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY!

Lefty pundits who claim progressive economic policies can't coexist with what's dismissed as identity politics, take note of what happened tonight.

Netflix is once again home to the Yash Raj Films catalogue. Movies are being added in mini-events over the next several months. Here's what to you can watch when, including films that are available to stream right now: accessbollywood.net/2025/11/04/y... #DesiWatch
