2015: “I’ve made over 220 films,” says German actor Udo Kier. “Of these 220 films, 100 films are not good, 50 are okay, and 50 are very good”

so sad to hear Udo Kier has died. one of the great working actors, and i was so happy to be reminded at TIFF, seeing him deliver a pretty astonishing little performance in The Secret Agent.

His eyes locked and the dance was begun.

HAPPY THE ICE STORM WEEK!

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

bolsanaro reportedly upset about going to prison because it’s taking him away from his true passion, going to the hospital

Reporters sticking with X because they get so much engagement from Nigerian America First MAGA accounts.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

so many people thought they were taking the temperature of America when they were actually marinating their brain in an artificially constructed fake reality on their phones

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

this is how I post

A despot trying to capitalize on the popularity of socialism while congress holds a pointless vote condemning it. 2025 is a trip.

Andrew Niccol’s 1997 film “Gattaca”, which happens to be re-released in selected theaters in South Korea a few days ago, still throws interesting questions for us. My late review. kaist455.com/2025/11/23/g...

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

사실 내 조카들만해도 트렌스젠더에 대한 굴절된 혐오가 문득 비쳐서 놀랄때가 있다. 낯선 외국에서 여자애들만 택시를 태워 보낸 것에 우리 엄마가 걱정하면서 무탈해서 다행이라 지나가는 말을 했는데 키 큰 조카애가 “할머니. 여차하면 제가 트젠인 척 하져!” 그러더라고… 나는 어쩔 수 없이 고모짓을 했음. “트젠인 척 하면? 트렌스 여성이면 달라? 남자가 갑자기 무서워해? 말이 왜그래?” 이랬더니 걍 없던 일이 됐음… 이 마이크로 극우화 좀 골치아프더라…

Alisha has been doing one marvelously original piece after another. It's a pleasure to edit and publish her work. Here's her appreciation of S.E. Hinton!

I hope everyone in the Epstein Files gets outed, even if it will be disappointing in some cases. Regardless of political affiliation, fame, wealth, or any other reason, it’s indefensible behavior. Identify them all, let the chips fall where they may, and then move on.

Great piece, so true. ‘The true definition of cancellation would be to disappear, left to exist only as an image in people’s minds. But that doesn’t often happen. TV interviews, podcasts, profiles and editorials can follow: “I Was Cancelled” or “Cancel Culture Ruined My Life”’. on.ft.com/3XPPMFD

지귀연 룸싸롱 접대 사건은 볼수록 어이가 없는데… 일단 그 업종 자체가 문제아님? 170만원이건 300만원이건 변호사랑 판사가 이상한 술집에서 술을 같이 마셨다는 그게 그냥 사실인데 뭘 더 따져야 함? 검사 99만원 세트 사건 때도 어이가 털린 부분이 이것임. 변호사를 판사가 사적으로 만났어? 술 마셨어? 여성 접객이 나오는 집이라고? 그럼 꺼져! 네가 법조인이냐? 이래야 하는 거 아님?

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ. Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising. He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace. What more do people need to see?

Hell yeah @rianjohnson.bsky.social (reposting with alt text)

서울대학교 이스라엘교육연구센터가 팔레스타인 땅에 유대인 이주 지원 사업 등을 해온 친이스라엘 단체 자금을 받아 운영된 정황이 드러났습니다. 이스라엘 대사관과도 ‘자금 지원’ 협약을 맺었습니다. 연구센터는 설립 당시부터 시온주의를 합리화할 수 있다는 학교 안팎의 우려를 샀습니다.

After Charlie Kirk’s death, Donald Trump condemned “political violence.” So what—exactly—is calling for the murder of members of Congress who don’t share his politics?

I literally think Mamdani went “you know, there was actually a President so popular that people kept electing him more than two terms” and Trump was like no way tell me how he did it

“Under the Roberts court, it won’t be enough to rewrite the rules of the game. The umpires are the problem.” Amazing history/analysis of how we got here.

The one thing the useless incompetent Boris Johnson clung on to for his failed premiership was the UK’s Covid response. Turns out he killed 20,000 people.

The Queens Daily Eagle remains undefeated.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.

marjorie taylor greene couldnt handle a single week experiencing 1% of the harassment that someone like ilhan omar probably experiences every day, in significant part because of her. she is weak and a coward and will rot in hell imo

Marjorie Taylor Greene will return to her previous career. Calling the cops on Black people she thinks are suspicious in grocery stores.

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship. She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

Don't underestimate Marjorie Taylor Greene or sleep on her, folks. She is going further to the left on calling out Israel's genocide, America First (non interventionism), and the economy than the Democratic Establishment. She's still the same white Christian nationalist but she's making her move.

He’s surrounded by such wormy little losers at the White House that I think he was like wow a cool guy
