Timeline cleanse:

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

convinced oona chaplin was channeling aaliyah in QUEEN OF THE DAMNED with her performance

i talked to @rianjohnson.bsky.social about 'Wake Up Dead Man.' Just two former youth grop kids trying to solve the mystery of faith. please enjoy.

Airbnb lobbyists had MONTHS of access to county officials to shape the opt-out legislation. Months. The public has only a few weeks over a holiday to react and one public hearing. This is a serious, serious problem.

This is downright terrifying!

These fascists are getting me down, but I still make a point to look folks in the eye with a smile when I pass them on the street. Lovingkindness every day. Send good vibes. Be that light you want to see in the world.

Pass this on to every teenager you know.

My review explores the film's politics, how it fits into PTA's career, THE SEARCHERS, and just how damn great Chase Infiniti's performance is

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

I enjoy the fact that every product Reese’s makes tastes completely different from every other one. ONLY TWO ELEMENTS. Somehow there are endless permutations of peanut butter and chocolate combined What hath God wrought

Basically we all just want our own version of Tony Hale in #Veep.

David Strathairn is so extraordinary in A LITTLE PRAYER that seizing the moment of its release to walk with him through his amazing, illustrious career for @letterboxd.social made a world of sense. He was so present and thoughtful in this interview. Grateful for his time, his insight, his grace.

One of the best film writers in the business. Read his Day 1 recap from TIFF!

Having heard both of these fine gentlemen's stories, this panel is sure to be one for the ages! #LPFF2025 #filmsky

#LPFF2025 Film Announcement: My Father's Shadow Dir. Akinola Davies Jr. "Two young brothers explore Lagos with their estranged father during the 1993 Nigerian election crisis, witnessing both the city's magnitude and their father's daily struggles as political unrest threatens their journey home."

I'm so excited for everyone in the #Filmsky community to see what we've been working on for the 24th Lake Placid Film Festival (10/30-11/2)! More updates coming soon 👀 #LPFF2025 #AdkFilm

Really liked Imran Perretta's Ish, a funny, heartbreaking debut with an insanely good score (also by Imran Perretta!) lwlies.com/venice-film-...

Marvel left Georgia! This piece conveys why us pesky academics are critical of location incentives. Race. To. The. Bottom. archive.is/w6hls

Film criticism is being murdered in broad daylight, but that will not stop me from writing it. Speaking of, here's my review of the sharp new thriller Lurker: www.avclub.com/lurker-review

I wrote about 28 Years Later

Fingers crossed it screens at @thelittletheatre.bsky.social!! 👀👀

Good evening, I’m out here in Los Angeles near MacArthur Park, where protestors have taken to the streets to protest the recent raids across the city, despite a TRO prohibiting them

Strongly recommend checking out @mattgoldberg.bsky.social’s spoiler-filled review at Decoding Everything today www.decodingeverything.com/p/weapons-mo...

“Weapons” fires on all cylinders, and in every direction. A chilling, melancholy, shockingly hilarious horror saga where grief isn’t a metaphor, but an active ingredient. On Zach Cregger’s tapestry of American paranoia, and the likely meaning of “2:17” joysauce.com/weapons-is-a...

One last plug: This week I explored this history of the Pohlad Family, who are currently selling the Minnesota Twins. It became so much more than a story of money, but postwar bank fraud, public transit, airline deregulation, and more. Even if you're not a baseball fan, please take a look!

so long suckers! i rev up my motorcylce and create a huge cloud of smoke. when the cloud dissipates im lying completely dead on the pavement

#ReduxRedux catapults itself into a sci-fi league all its own. It proves just how far creativity and heart can take an overworked narrative device, opting for relying on character above all else. My #Fantasia2025 review via @guyatthemovies.bsky.social: www.guyatthemovies.com/gatmhome/red...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

This is why all the talk of impending martial law feels overcooked. Trump is a lazy cheapskate. Enacting and maintaining martial law even in one state is expensive and hard work. It'll get ugly, no doubt, but he absolutely does not have the stamina - political or physical - to be a true dictator.

"I was very interested in the twins. If the vampires never showed up, who are the vampires in this movie? Who was the first person to recognize Sammie’s gifts ..?" Ryan Coogler talks to RS about the themes of Hip-Hop and Exploitation in 'Sinners'

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

Another exceptional episode of GOING ROGUE podcast by @tansyg.bsky.social. She covers how the script of BALLERINA changed and what exactly was reshot when Chad Stahelski stepped in for a few weeks (months?). open.spotify.com/episode/2oGf...

Excellent film with what I suspect will be wide appeal www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...

I talked to the writer-director of Mountainhead, and also a lil TV show called Succession, about the dark side of tech-bro utopianism and why satirists who feel outpaced by reality just need to up their game.

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

nathan fielder went on CNN to talk about airline safety this morning lmfao

Star Wars opened today in 1977, I'm enormously fond of the first, terrible, trailer 20th Century Fox cut for it. They had no idea how to sell it, or faith in the project, and it it shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHk5...

There is one specific scene in Lilo and Stitch that was changed that I think fundamentally led to every other decision they made in that movie. In both Lilo and Stitch movies there is a scene right before Stitch falls from the sky like a shooting star.
