Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that? And then they grew up to be even worse?

Sigh.

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Pure and absolute fury in my veins right now. I can't imagine how scared he must have been. You cannot reform this away. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

The first teaser for Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is here 👀 Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. In theaters August 7.

SOTU? lol

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Every day I think about cutting the wi-fi, selling the TV, and becoming a crazy dog lazy who lives in the woods.

I hope all the money Criterion makes from the K-Pop Demon Hunters physical release will help fund them and Janus Films for the next 100 years, it’s a win-win.

BBC/BAFTAs reaallly REALLY fucked up.

I know having another snowstorm sucks but the snowflakes were stunning today

“That’s right, take the picture. Take the picture, take the picture, take the goddam picture. Take my soul too while you’re at it.” Carol needed a cigarette. “I give and I give and what’s left of me at the end of the night isn’t worth the nylon fibers of a bargain basement chew toy.”

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

thinking about the conversation I had with Jesse Jackson in 2019: "The truth of slavery—that Africans subsidized America’s wealth—that truth will not go away. It’s buried right now, but as each generation becomes much more serious, it will be grappled with." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

unfortunately, the Kanopy deal discussed in the article has since expired—the Philadelphia library system, for example, has zero Wisemans available. I guess you can watch his performance as the narrator in Eephus until a better system arises. And here he is talking to John Wilson last year.

How does one even begin to try to memorialize the work of Wiseman, which ranges as broadly as human culture spans?

Singular actor. The definition of reliable; you just knew he would deliver no matter what. We are losing folks who shaped the films we watch today. RIP to Robert Duvall.

Sylvie’s Love!!!! Yesss

Happy Thelma Ritter's birthday!

Please watch PILLION. It’s so good.

I got my previous job to use Lisa’s platform, tEQuitable, as part of our equity initiatives. Lisa was nothing short of incredible every step of the way.

She’s so, so good! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/n...

Shit I didn't include the link. Maybe you shouldn't trust me. Draw your horse here: gradient.horse

All the flags. Because he’s so specifically Puerto Rican that it transcends globally. The sugar canes, the piragua, Toñita, the blackout, the boxing. Stay true to yourself and you speak to everyone. #BenitoBowl

I read through hundreds of emails and scoured through years of correspondence and background information to write this 4600 word report. It confirms what we all have been saying about the anti-trans movement from the start. Read it from the top down, I can't even begin to summarize it all properly.

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

I love dog show photos. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Pharrell’s “Happy” makes me feel violent.

Guess I’ll promo this again haha. Congrats to Benito for a truly generational work of art.

this week’s cover by Till Lauer

everyone say thank you to the little boat

The thing about grieving an artist is that can lead you to discovery and a renewed love of their work. And I think that’s beautiful.

A thing about certain funny women like Catherine O’Hara—I think also and especially of Eileen Brennan and Madeline Kahn—is that it’s hard often to describe why or even how they’re funny. They just are.

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

😭😭😭😭😭😭

I know people love to deservedly praise John Candy's improvisation in HOME ALONE, but Catherine O'Hara is equally amazing. She's rolling with all of his choices and is deep within his emotionality and frivolity, responding to him with equal ease. It's stellar acting work by her.

I legitimately can not process Catherine O’Hara dying.

My “trying to not have constant emotional and mental breakdowns in 2026 challenge” is not going well

The press release for Aaron's upcoming book, The A24 New Wave, is online. Lots of exciting plans coming up including interviews, special programming, oh and the book. That'll be here before you know it! cinejourneys.com/press-releas...

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Ann Lee, we will AVENGE YOU.
