gotta give it to nancy pelosi for doing what no other dem born before 1960 wants to do (retire)

I’m sure this will immediately get me blocked by obama lovers, but: i’m finding the obama comparisons re:zohran tedious. i was in high school when he was elected so I don’t remember a lot of it but like… I never got the impression that he was particularly principled, just Different

james remar. clancy brown.

Quick reminder: NYC’s new First Lady, Rama Duwaji, is a cartoonist! www.comicsbeat.com/zohran-mamda...

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

guess who finally renewed her DSA membership today

I say this not to make islamophobia about antisemitism, but to note that in a Christian context, they've historically tended to go hand in hand. Israel hawk Jews convinced themselves that they and Christian nationalists had a common enemy in Islam, missing that they were also on the table

By the by, I'm not sure you get the slow upswing in blatant antisemitism/groyperism on the right without the broad mainstreaming of blatant Islamophobia during the Bush and Obama eras. The xenophobic image of the Anti-Christian Other was always going to extend to American Jews

The major opposing candidates called him a jihadist and Democratic leadership didn't make a peep about it!

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada.

I mean this literally here’s a photo of one of the protest signs you can regularly see outside Chuck Schumer’s house in Brooklyn

One of the most depressing things about dipshit Schumer’s leadership of the Dems is I’ve been at actual multiple protests outside his house across from Prospect Park where the protest theme was ‘do something, anything, we’re begging you’

I just donated to Twisted Spine Books and I think you should, too, if you’ve got a little to spare: www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

I interviewed filmmaker Abel Ferrara about his incredible new memoir, SCENE. Along the way, we talked about his films, his life, his addictions, and his thoughts on redemption (and the LA Dodgers). For @bwdr.bsky.social: www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2025/11/03/a...

We were so happy to see everyone's enthusiasm for our project to reprint pieces from Bitch Media! We are all excited because we also loved Bitch just as much as you. It was a formative publication for many of us. So here's a thread of some of our fave Bitch articles.

omg YAY

took on too much this year and now i’m paying for it lol

the TLC channel and Investigation Discovery are the worst things to ever happen to television

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

early voting for zohran tomorrow!

year of the own goal year of the unforced L year of handling things the weirdest way you would in all the available timelines

it really annoys me when people blame apps or websites for their behavior like… yes, the apps promote the behavior but it’s your job to use them in a conscious way.

I actually really enjoy not agreeing with other film critics and don’t care at all about arguing to reach some kind of consensus (unless i’m on a jury or something like that) i like my taste! i’m secure!

don’t know what gooning is. don’t tell me about it. i’m a grown woman who has sex. doing fine without the information!

I always wanted a Mace-driven sequel to Strange Days. She was my favorite part of the movie. If you are in NYC, see this movie at BAM.

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

We knew him when—and he’d kill me for saying this—he was named Anakin. Little Orphan Ani, I called him, and you’ve never seen a better podracer. Sebulba tried to beat him, he came around but we said “Cheska, Sebulba.” You’d think he be too young to race but I guess they do it differently there.

deleted so many numbers today and it feels GREAT

mark your calendars! (this will be at BAM)

the bummer train really has not stopped chugging along this year

With #TheCurrents, Milagros Mumenthaler paints an intimate portrait of a woman trying to reckon with her fractured identity, trying not to fall into the grip of madness. Read @judysquirrels.bsky.social's NYFF review:

Epic fail-safe: A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is a high-minded piece of doomsday schlock — and a baffling misuse of the director Kathryn Bigelow's talents. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Mamoru Hosoda's Scarlet is a shockingly simplistic interpretation of a complicated, timeless, emotionally rich text. Read @judysquirrels.bsky.social's NYFF review:

Only a few more days of Monika Treut at @anthologyfilm.bsky.social — I love these films and it’s been such an honor to help finally get them back into distribution…
