Sacco and Vanzetti and Grogu

This thread is a treasure trove and @moviessilently.bsky.social is a great follow!

You can’t set your movie in New York City and not make it a love letter to the city itself. Decent people don’t do such things.

The bill wouldn't have passed without 8 Democrats voting for it.

This is so PERFECTLY timed. Just before the singing starts.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

The Soviet Winnie-the-Pooh is a wonderful thing. And its version of Pooh himself is one of the great animated characters. The artists didn't take from Disney's version. They aimed for an "absolutely new bear" -- and they pulled it off. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-absolu...

Tomorrow’s goal: work Boss Baby 2 into every single conversation. But if someone brings up Boss Baby 1, end the talk immediately and walk away fast. We’re not playing that game.

please comment and give the FCC hell ⬇️

Sorry, accidentally made bluesky go down, I spilled my iced coffee in the whatchamacallit

This month I got to act in a super-indie film in a way I’ve never had the opportunity to do before and it was thrilling and humbling. The film just wrapped and now money is needed for post-production! There’s so much crazy shit going on right now but if you can, throw in a buck? gofund.me/0eb5c84a2

Yes! I would not say it if it weren’t true. I REQUIRE a private jet like most people need food and water. I need it to do business and to meet clients at the absolute finest golf courses in the world. Tax on my private = throwing me in the gulag for the rest of my life. It’s sick!!!

I am a democratic socialist and supported Mamdani… UNTIL NOW. How dare you tax my private jet?!

Republicans, I beg you to keep going all-in on this motherfucker. There’s no downside, I swear.

I don’t see nobody

god it would be so tempting to jump up out of the crowd and sack him

this one makes you think. very philosophical.

I never took a marketing class but I feel like rolling out your new technology by saying “ENJOY STARVING, YOU OBSOLETE BITCH” to anyone with a job was likely to cause an unwelcoming response.

aw shit busted

eat karma, Stretch

There’s a definite type of guy - and some are friends I love - who are just not comfortable venturing out into the world unless they’re wearing some kind of plaid shirt. Happy Sunday to you, plaid shirt brothers.

Seems to me that this is a great time for all of the 'vote or die' white people to be at the forefront of fighting for voting rights. Perfect time not to fantasize about what you would have done during the mid-century Black freedom struggle but to enact a 21st century version of it. Let's stay tuned

Galyn Gorg didn't play Cleopatra; she was another Egyptian character. BUT she ALSO played Helen of Troy on Xena. I don't know why, just seems relevant to point out that a black actress played Helen in the Xena/Hercules universe...

We went to this Ohio diner where support for the president is still high among these dumb pieces of racist shit

They think they’ll make us buy this propaganda by using eye candy

I think it’s pretty exciting that they’re putting together the best team of 2010

Hi. 😊 Black American here. Norway is an almost entirely white country. The United States is racist as fuck. That's why we don't have a social democracy or, like, healthcare. Follow for more glimpses into a racist society where white people* would rather die than see a Black person succeed.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

We have already answered this question

Turns out it's not that expensive to ship my buttons across the country. So, please buy my buttons for the low cost of "Pay what you want!" @ me and I will DM you to figure out how to get them to you. If you're in the twin cities, we might be able to just hand them off. Please and thank you!

in spite of every administrative roadblock this is going to keep happening, and they can't stop it

Grogu to the polls

The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...

There's so much weird about this bizarre simulacrum of a human being, but the obsession with windmills as a threat to all mankind has to be in the discussion. Imagine if Dwight Eisenhower denounced trains in every third public appearance, or Jimmy Carter always veered off topic to condemn toasters.

In case this might be useful to anyone here in MN: Mind the Movement is a mental health fund for democracy and movement workers. They are offering "free mental health support to community organizers and organizations working in Minnesota." More info: mindthemovement.org/mn

When I started debating this straw man I didn't expect to fall in love.

Thank you for the information, Admiral Dickembiggener

Do you actually think Grogu cares about YOU? Wake up, people!!!

Kavanaugh, 7 weeks before an election, when a lower court prevents Alabama GOP from discriminating against Black voters: 😠 🛑 STOP Kavanaugh, during an election, when the Supreme Court empowers Alabama GOP to discriminate against Black voters: 🥳 🍻 LET'S GO ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I really can’t state strongly enough how utterly stupid this is. Once you eliminate taxes for a class you will never be able to bring them back. And it WILL domino. Eliminating taxes and privatizing everything is the republicans’ end goal. Do not help them!!!

This is beautiful

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

Inexcusably rude of our students to turn their backs on graduation speaker Augusto Pinochet

AI doesn’t know it’s conscious or how pretty it is. It’s adorkable and I’m gonna marry it.

Go one more step and consider that slop is an organized attack on human originality, wit, insight, awareness, and humor, because all those things are a threat to fascism
