Ryan Coogler’s ambitious “Sinners” is the director’s first entirely original film—a challenge that he had been afraid to confront. “I realized it’s now or never for this,” he told David Sims last year:

When Trump purged the civil service, he did away with some of the employees who understood the government best: “What’s been lost isn’t just a sense of purpose,” Franklin Foer argues, “but a body of knowledge—a way of making the machinery of the state function.” theatln.tc/4DdD6aFE

Say her name. Renee Nicole Good.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization that has invaded our cities, assaulted immigrants & thrown our neighbors into concentration camps. ICE executed Renee Nicole Good in broad daylight. Any legislator who doesn’t immediately move to abolish ICE is a traitor who sold out their country to fascism

You know it's bad when...

Also, I got four-ish hours of sleep, so I’m not entirely sure the post I just made made any sense.

I couldn’t agree more.

Dear fuck this has been a long year.

79 years later and this scene is more poignant than ever. Also one of the big reasons why It’s a Wonderful Life is a movie I watch every year. youtu.be/LgKg_yPT3z0?...

ROAD CLOSED MEANS THE ROAD IS CLOSED We still have several highways around the region closed with water over the highway. We close roads for your safety and for the safety of crews working to reopen the roads. Remember, it doesn't take much to go from a splash to a stall.

Pro tip: To anyone wanting to win the next presidential election, start visiting all the places that have been ravaged by natural disasters and help out in the community. Especially places that have been ignored by Trump. Be the candidate of compassion, humility, and leadership.

I…what?

Looks like those of us in western Washington are in for a flooding event: cliffmass.blogspot.com/2025/12/majo...

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city." Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.

The 2026 park pass is… cringy.

Not so random question for those out there with a better understanding on the matter: Could Donald Trump be guilty of breaking the RICO Law? www.justice.gov/archives/jm/...

Good news: there’s 5 weeks until 2026. Bad news: there’s 5 weeks left of 2025.

Me, singing to myself when I’m either doing dishes or laundry (let’s be honest, it’s both at the same time). 🎶This is the chore that has no end…it just goes on and on, my friend…🎶

Happy birthday, @pbs, and thank you for (just off the top of my head) Mister Rogers, Bob Ross, Sesame Street, Cosmos, Reading Rainbow, Nova, Frontline, The American Experience, The Magic School Bus, and Nature. The good you put into this world, and the return on my investment, is astronomical.
