It is absolutely a choice.

Duvall was so good, in every minute of every role, throughout the decades. they really didn't come better www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxqk...

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

Their "more efficient" process than having writers write: • AI identifies possible stories • Reporters do further reporting and produce notes • Another person uses AI to generate a story from the notes, then rewrites/"tweaks" • Another person fact-checks/edits • Reporter reviews

introducing my column about resistance in fiction for @aftermath.site. I’m calling it THE WORK aftermath.site/oscars-revol...

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Jesus fucking Christ

why does he think he has the charisma to pull off being this much of an asshole, the raccoon ass eyeliner eyes makes him come off as an Ivy League educated fancy lad who sold his soul to a literal devil to get on an eating club waiting list

Must be a mistake that @aanand.style is not listed. Hopefully corrected soon

Leaving journalism, going back to school, and starting a new career in a new field was really hard. But I'm grateful I did it. If you're a journalist thinking about a new career, I'd be happy to talk, break down my experiences for you.

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway

JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

I could not be prouder of Aftermath and what were able to accomplish with basically the five of us and our contributors. That said, we still really need more resources to be the kind of company we want to grow into. consider subscribing: aftermath.site

The indie route is hard. Even when you’re joined by other experienced journalists, you also have to cover the business side of everything, which is basically its own job.

this is incredible, I love teens

holy shit

My subscription to The Nation is absolutely worth it. Consider subscribing to America's oldest (?) magazine!

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING YOU ANTIVAX CONCENTRATION CAMP GHOULS did you know that Anne Frank died of typhus maybe don't have people in concentration camps to begin with

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed: “The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

Across Georgia, thousands of students are making the same calculation. From Lakeside High to Kennesaw State, they’re deciding that a suspension is a small price to pay to draw attention to the actions of ICE and the recent tragic deaths in Minneapolis.

404 Media has published the full user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE to bring up addresses for deportation targets. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Scoop here by @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

For Liam.

😭

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

If you find yourself sitting across from this guy you are F U C K E D

it's a gift that this sucks so bad. a filmmaker with clout put his name on this. thanks Mr Aronofsky for the advertisement that even the bleeding-edge, high-budget version of this tech is uncanny and hideous!

Had to draw an animal at work

Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a package for me. Okay Mr. Burns, what's your first name. I don't know...

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota Via DonHarris4/X

#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.

16-year-old José Rodríguez was walking down a street in Mexico in 2012 when U.S. Border Patrol agent Lonnie Swartz shot at him 16 times. Rodríguez’s body was riddled with ten bullets, eight in his back. Swartz, who claimed the child threw rocks across the border wall, was acquitted of murder.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

the line that you can spend and body cam and qr code your fucken way out of the public gettin shot up and gassed on its own dime by cops and feds must confront the reality that 2014 looks like 2020 looks like 2024 looks like 2026 after the billions continuously sunk in

civil war in minneapolis….only solution is to send in the least charismatic man of all time

ICE says it detains the "worst of the worst." Meet Liam Ramos, age 5.

think it’s time to start treating cbs news links the way sensible people treat free press links, by which i mean ignoring them and not spreading them

at one point in this segment Joey casually refers to whiskey as “the drink of business” and that phrase will stay with me until i die

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Great question! It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider. The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

ice being uniquely vulnerable to ice truly confuses bc i thought they whole thing was tactical gear nuttery but come to find out mfs don't know what to do in all the shoes

this article is a good example of what i mean — literal kids work the orchards where the bulk of our oranges/lemons are grown, earning a piece-rate that can work out to less than minimum wage, and i genuinely don’t know what you or i can do about it even if it disgusts us. that’s shame

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

This book is about the failure to prosecute bankers after the 2008 crisis, but I've always thought the title could apply to a lot of things
