Meanwhile, the position of executive editor at the Lexington Herald-Leader was eliminated by McClatchy as a cost-cutting measure. This industry makes no sense.

(2/2), tons of shorts, US indies (SOFTSHELL, BUNNYLOVR, BEAUTY OF TICK, THE SCOUT) and more cool docs (AMERICAN THEATER, HOW DARK MY LOVE, WTO/99), 4k revivals of DIVA and ROCKY HORROR (50th!), closing with new Quay Bros SANITORIUM UNDER THE SIGN OF THE HOURGLASS. www.tallahasseefilmfestival.com

Not sure anyone local is on here, but if you're in North Florida next weekend, come to Tallahassee Film Festival! 80+ films, 6 screens, 3 days, and tons of filmmakers. Opening 9/26 with IT ENDS, big splash for Florida stories – THE PYTHON HUNT, RIVER OF GRASS, JOHN LILLY doc (Stephens/Almyreda) 1/2

Always a pleasure to spend time with Joe & Whitney. Given all the things you think you know about these extraordinary personalities/artists, the doc is full of surprises and marrow-deep interludes, showing how the extremities of human existence can all be bound up in love. It's a spiritual text.

At Filmmaker, artist Joe Coleman and collaborator and partner Whitney Ward are interviewed by @dollarama.bsky.social about being subjects of Scott Gracheff’s Tribeca-premiering doc, “How Dark My Love.” filmmakermagazine.com/131053-joe-c...

Gavin Newsom is so awful that I can't believe he's not running for mayor of New York.

This by itself is entirely disqualifying. Do not rank Cuomo on your ballot in the Democratic mayoral primary, friends. Leave him completely off - vote for five other candidates instead.

i really hope none of the folks who made the anti-tesla stickers and fliers do something with this and post it all around nyc

A shorter version of my thread: for chrissakes can we pay attention to what fascism does instead of what it says? No, Trump isn’t trying stupidly and failing to revive U.S. industry. He’s trying quite effectively to burn it down so he can rule the ashes. Seriously. That’s the plan.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

everyone always says "death to america" but then when someone steps up and does it you get mad at him

Garbage human.

@schumer.senate.gov A Book Tour? I hope you are confronted with furious constituents throughout your self-promotion. Maybe then you'll realize you didn't read the room - at all.

I just called my cowardly and now nationally loathed Senator to object to this, easily the 50th time I've called his office since Jan. 20, & his voicemail is "not available at this time." I admit it, I feel hopeless today. They're going to rip away every institution that matters to us, and for what?

Sen Schumer will be joining me tonight in 20 minutes on @allinwithchris.bsky.social

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I don’t think AOC should primary Schumer. That would mean he serves out the remainder of his term. Instead she should throw him off the top of the Fresh Kills Mall 300-style, with or without screaming “this…is…New York!!!” and immediately take his job

Holler!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

It’s a weird moment in American life, we’re being held hostage by an autocrat who is nakedly corrupt but also just not very smart

These same folks then demonize the qualities (notably empathy) that might limit bullying’s ubiquity.

HBD JC 🥳 and Thank You for one of the most memorable and fun live music experiences of my life, which concluded with a room full of people of all ages up and dancing to Dirty Ass Rock n Roll. I went to the show alone on an icy night, but left feeling warm, connected, and glad to be alive. Pure joy

6 days to go on the fundraiser for the Tallahassee Film Festival (I'm artistic director). Proud to showcase a slew of new work from new filmmakers and indie legends alike, w/a strong environmental focus and show ❤️ to Florida filmmakers with a 1k 💰 prize. Hook us up! www.facebook.com/donate/39763...

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

If we seem to be getting along really well and all of a sudden I’ve blocked you, it’s because you’re sharing Gen AI slop, which is an insult to every creative person and destructive to the environment

Dickless chode

disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

As their constituent can chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries email me 5 accomplishments they did last week to protect democracy from Trump thanks!

I know this won't happen, but Hochul removing Adams and then the judge immediately refusing the Justice Dept.'s request to end his prosecution because the rationale that it interferes with his ability to do his job no longer applies would be the week I have always dreamed of Eric Adams having.

If you're near Dartmouth College and are interested in thinking about trouble via sci-fi, aka speculative fiction, in film, text, and painting, this is going to be a fabulous conference: sites.dartmouth.edu/children-of-...

Massive news that KILLER OF SHEEP is entering the @criterion.bsky.social. I still have my @milestonefilms.bsky.social edition, who deserve the ultimate credit for supporting this film's resurgence and Charles Burnett's legacy, and I can't wait to add this alongside it.
