Gov. Walz's brief statement about the political assassinations in Minnesota. Imagine having someone like this in charge, who's capable of expressing an emotion besides rage and self-pity, who understands what grief & tragedy & injustice are. www.youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...

Influencers are so high on their own supply. One is trying to sell a collapsible double welled water container, mass produced overseas and kinda tacky looking, for $35. Woman, I can get a hand-crafted double-welled glazed pottery piece made right here in California for that

Currently in DC moderating screenings for the DC/DOX fest, away from the parade, but to be in the city where this obscenity is happening, this grotesque national shame and embarrassment, is making me sick to my stomach.

““What does a human slowly going insane look like to a corporation?” Mr. Yudkowsky asked in an interview. “It looks like an additional monthly user.” The first documented case of ChatGPT driving someone to suicide?

Do people remember that before the election in 2016, the Boston Globe printed a fake front page detailing the absurdist horrors of a Trump administration? And that the current front pages have normalized what was once unthinkable? Look at this. It’s the regular news now.

I hope you didn’t talk about his other job delivering presents to kids all over the world on Christmas.

These news notifications look like a “bad timeline” parody in a time-travel movie.

When a movie hits a little too hard

this statement was made just yesterday

She was the Speaker of the Minnesota House and she was assassinated along with her husband by someone impersonating a police officer; this is terrifying and also just so symptomatic of the political madness and violence Trump has sown

Some helpful tips for following the awful news out of Minnesota today.

glad there is finally some give with posting-as-praxis -- there's clear function to knowing where others stand and sharing resources, but you know what i mean if you're in the streets today, know your rights. if you're in your niche -- patrol, bail team, whatever it is -- you're doing great, too

We are right on the edge.

This is the Speaker of the Minnesota House. Assassinated in her own home.

You might have caught me on CBS Saturday Morning talking about, of all things, the Star Wars Holiday Special.

New CBBFM with Circa Waves! Great tunes and fun chat. Listen at @cbbworld.bsky.social

On THE NICE GUYS Special Features, Shane Black said that Ryan Gosling sought him out to work with him because Gosling loved THE MONSTER SQUAD so much. A nice little bit of geek news to start your morning.

See you out there today. ❤️

No matter your position on Trump & immigration, if you don’t support the idea of #NoKings, you do not love The United States of America. #NoKings is fundamental & foundational to the U.S. Constitution. The Presidency/Executive branch cannot override the Judicial or Legislative. Period. Full stop.

This week’s show features @sergioolmos.bsky.social and Elizabeth Goitein from the @brennancenter.org on protest in the Age of Trump. And @dionnissenbaum.bsky.social on his new film for @zeteo.com called “Who Killed Shireen?” LISTEN! www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

So many things have happened and will happen this weekend that I am inventing new and fascination emotions. Get ready for Exhaustion 2. Scaredlation. I’m doing Regrieveing.

Gotta have conversations with close people away from all phones and computers

Love to get all my info from Newsweek dot com

my longest yeah boy ever

Tomorrow for my small-class seminar at the Arvada Center, I'll be presenting Billy Wilder's ONE TWO THREE (1961) which is, I was surprised to find, unavailable on any of the major streaming platforms. This follows our first film last week, Robert Hossein's THE TASTE OF VIOLENCE (1961).

Did I block someone for being a piece of shit about Michael Caine? I did. My patience... never at a tremendous surplus, is at zero right now so, sorry if you don't deserve it, but pick someone else to be a patronizing prick to right now.

I finally watched the "Manchild" video, and it honestly felt like when I have a manic phase.

Charles Gilpin as the lead of the old temperance warhorse TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR ROOM. His character has slid into alcoholism, leading to a confrontation with the saloon owner who has bankrupted him. It's a rare chance to see stage star Gilpin in action, this was his only cinematic leading role.

Cannot believe that I just watched two lost Andy Milligan films back to back in a movie theater, hosted by Jimmy McDonough with cast from the films in the theater. Incredibly surreal and the films are as beautiful, confounding and full of Andy’s spirit as we could have hoped.

I think only about six people on Bluesky have seen my face, and only three have seen me in person (and of them, one is dead, the other doesn't know it was me) I kind of feel like it would be a waste if we didn't do a German language operetta under these circumstances.

i profiled a former member of DOGE who kept audio diaries during his time inside the Trump administration. we talked about what his expectations were, what it was like on the inside and what he learned for an episode of Planet Money. with my colleague Kenny Malone open.spotify.com/episode/0YdH...

Started a new thing tonight now that my daughter is ten: every Friday a different family member gets to pick the movie. She picked the Sixth Sense because of Friday the 13th and…I forgot how DARK that movie is, oh my god

Sigh. Well. If they don't? Now they do.

Big boy win. I don’t know how they pulled that off. Having the MVP is helpful.

I’d be super-into this Pacers squad if they were not tormenting my favorite team. I love Nembhard so much, but, respectfully, fuck off Nembhard.

I’m very sorry to have to tell you this.

Hot damn Florry is one of the most joyous (and cowbell-iest) live acts in indie rock right now.

I’ve felt on the verge of panic all day and I don’t know why aside from the two giant iced coffees or all the horrors.

There is another universe in which knowing who the fuck are only 10 of the 23 TRAITORS S4 contestants marks me as discerning and intellectual, and not merely old.

It's essentially the prototype for the FINAL DESTINATION films.

(Whispering) can you see my little fren in the alyssum 🌱

The twins are downstairs playing "My Way" at high volume and I'm a little bit afraid to go down and ask why

LAST STARFIGHTER sequel with Lance Guest now in the Centauri role, recruiting alien hotshots from civilizations at a lower rate of technological evolution, and forced because of circumstance to mentor his latest charge into the role of the last last starfighter.

LIFE OF CHUCK. This is a tough one. On the one hand, I was deeply moved by some of its overall themes. On the other hand, I feel like we don’t spend enough time with adult chuck for the movie to fully land. And the voiceover is painful. On the OTHER hand, the ending/dedication really got to me.

I've always accepted that the premise of JAWS: THE REVENGE in which Ellen believes sharks have cursed her family as ludicrous... but what if it's actually touching on something deep-rooted, even primal, about the shark as a metaphor for the inevitability of death and our smallness in the universe?

They’re just getting ready to put her in a car and aim her at Iran

got called “amiga” by a stranger tonight, and it felt so good. so much better than “ma’am.” this must be how it feels when a dude calls another dude “big dog.”

Man I hope this gets picked up by poli-sci professors everywhere — this is exactly what ranked choice voting is designed to incentivize in our politics: Incentivize collaborative and coalition-building campaigns rather than fractional politics, eliminate incentive for sub-optimal “strategic” voting

Busy imagining what it would be like to go about your day and you suddenly see a headline that says: “[PERSON YOU DONT KNOW] Thinks [YOUR NAME HERE] Should Experiment With Celibacy”

TFW you roll your stats for a new character and end up with a choice between being the scrawniest Arch-caster in history or the thickest, most dimwitted Chad Barbarian ever to hack his way across the realms.

Remember recorders? The instrument, not the tech. Someone is definitely playing one in my neighborhood. A rough little Ode to Joy with many of the notes close to the right ones.

Can we just give BJ Australian citizenship now and be done with it? ❤️

for anyone else who wants to refresh their memories or watch for the first time, A Simple Plan is free to stream (with a library card) on kanopy! not exactly a feel-good movie, but absolutely worth watching

And if I say Next Gen NYC is my favorite show on Bravo now. (With some hyperbole.)

Time for a new thread, now that I am finally healed enough to walk to The Coffeeshop again! Today, the coffeeshop is open its regular hours, which butt up right against DTLA's curfew. Are they concerned about this? Nay! They are showing ZOOLANDER.

Thanks to this week's Poker Face I spent some time on Bobbie Gentry's wikipedia page, where I learned she has had three marriages that each lasted less than two years and also she was apparently a part owner of the Phoenix Suns for the better part of two decades? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbie_...

What, and I stress, the fuck

No Kangs

(Whispering) MATERIALISTS isn’t a comedy so it’s weird to review it as one

This series of Taskmaster has shown me that British people do not appreciate the joys of a good pocket knife.

Wow! Fuck this fascist bullshit.

Step aside, Marilyn Monroe, Stan's kilt flips thanks to an inconvenient grating in PUTTING PANTS ON PHILIP

Good lord, are the legacy media people still at it with the "we're not enjoying Bluesky so NOBODY is" stuff? Have they considered a hobby? Cards, for instance.

DC/DOX screenings conveniently located next to the place where I can buy more Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr stock.

You don’t get more dad movie (on Father’s Day weekend no less) than this.

Told ya my mail day freaking ruled. All three of these films are capital-G Great. Oh, my weekend is gonna be good.

Where are we protesting tomorrow, NYC? I did the Bryant Park-to-Madison Square route last time there was a big march & it was great, but who can resist a New Orleans second-line band? Then again, there's something appealing about an event called "No Kings Queens."

Naturally @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is right about why Obama can’t save us, and why anyone thinking the right speech, or the right headline, can turn the tide so vastly underestimates the hole we’re in

My son is training to be a lifeguard right now. It's a program that has taken him almost two years to get into. And the place they're using, as it turns out, is also occupied by hundreds and hundreds of cops using it as a staging area for this bullshit political theater. Super-cool.

Here is a story about the will of a king, the steadfastness of citizens, and the ways in which nature gives back when protected. Franconia Notch, New Hampshire.

Daylight violation of the Posse Comitatus Act: the military is forbidden from domestic law enforcement or political repression

Lovely virtual kayak trip from one of my favorite follows 🦦

Things I agree with in theory but in practice, things are a lot more complicated: "Filmmakers should be allowed to take liberties with history for artistic reasons" So, the issue with this is... a lot of people get ALL their history from television and movies.

That is not a law, and this cop and this police department should go ahead and figure out how they're going to handle the lawsuit they are going to lose.

The violent psychotic police state probably has done internal “top secret” assessments on how many of their domestic civilian political enemies they can illegally disappear into concentration camps or worse, without bothering anyone out in the suburbs. Is it 50k? 500k?

going into a movie like well I hope It Happens (good) while I’m in the theater, but at least if It Happens (bad) I’ll be looking at something beautiful until the last moment

I couldn’t put it off any longer and am now watching And Just Like That… Every scene of this show makes me feel insane.

KRULL is coming to 4K! Awesome. This is me, reaching for it on the shelf.
