I keep thinking about in 2024 Netanyahu giving a speech to a standing ovation by every US politician.
There was no outcome to the election that would change this. These people are all so deeply evil.
As war spreads like a cancer across the Middle East, driven by Israel and the United States, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Please give what you can.
Thank you! π₯° A fantastic read!
Had a great time reading about one of my favourite genres xxx highly recommend other film fans and academics check out a book that now has pride of place on my shelf β₯οΈπͺπͺβοΈ
Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentilleschi
Skinamarink definitely the most obviously influential in style already
Aranofsky funny because it really isn't just about perfect blue like the fountain contains multiple jarring shot recreations from lotr
Five '70s flicks that you love and return to again and again:
The devils
Black Christmas
Jaws
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Suspiria

Sharron Davies ranting against 15 minute cities, because of course she is.
Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph saying she wants to... kill all dogs??
Julie Burchill asking "does it matter if Grok undresses us all?" in The Spectator
Graham Linehan in the midst of his now four-day-long double down on Alex Pretti's murder being justified and fine.
Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Broke out of my writer's block era for a brief moment to write a very personal (and probably very depressing) essay about transness and two pieces of literature I've read and loved recently: ShΕ«zΕ Oshimiβs Inside Mari & Grace Byronβs Herculine.
40 people (at least) died. It's the official policy of these newsrooms that Latin American lives aren't worth anything. Again, if you still pay for an NYT subscription I think you're trash.
Shane Morris @GShaneMorris Follow ... Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point.
this post broke my brain for a good week where literally any task i did was followed by the thought βkeep trying to be sexy & have funβ and i just heard it again trying a new paint. i will probably be found wandering the streets muttering it at garbage cans
FINALLY

Borders! They're evil. And the question of whether or not you should flee.
A video essay by the Leftist Cooks. Watch now.
Helping a Palestinian farmer always seems like a good way to help keep indigenous control of Palestinian land.
