Ramis: I can’t tell you how many people have told me, “When I go to the movies, I don’t want to think.” Believer interviewer: Does that offend you as a filmmaker? Ramis: It offends me as a human being. Why wouldn’t you want to think? What does that mean? Why not just shoot yourself in the fucking head?

People plugging their entire skulls into A.I. makes me think of this old Believer interview with Harold Ramis

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, killed in targeted attack, was a champion for Minnesotan families Hortman worked closely with Gov. Tim Walz to enact policies that prioritized children and expanded protections for abortion and gender-affirming care

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman.

But when I asked why he still comes when it dredges such painful memories, "Because I have to."

PSA that Eli Roth does not deserve your support, horror fans.

There’s been a lot written about the reactionary backlash to the 2020 protests but not enough about how much of Trump’s current shtick is driven by that night he got scared and had to hide in the basement.

“Dear Academy members, At the heart of the Academy's mission is a commitment to honoring excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences and connecting the world through the power of cinema. We do this through our work on the Oscars, our exhibitions and programs, our preservation and education efforts, and so much more. We believe deeply in the ability of film to illuminate, to provoke thought, and to bridge divides by offering a window into diverse human experiences.”

“We fundamentally believe that film has the power to enlighten global audiences and highlight different perspectives - and we encourage our members to use their art to do so. The Academy condemns harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints. We are living in a time of profound change, marked by conflict and uncertainty - across the globe, in the U.S., and within our own industry. Understandably, we are often asked to speak on behalf of the Academy in response to social, political, and economic events. In these instances, it is important to note that the Academy represents close to 11,000 global members with many unique viewpoints.”

“We are, however, united in a shared belief in the importance of storytelling, in the value of empathy, and in the role of film as a catalyst. As an organization, our focus continues to be the celebration of creative voices that make up the global film community - and supporting your freedom to create, to challenge, and to imagine. We remain steadfast in this work, and we are grateful to walk alongside each of you in it. Bill Kramer and Janet Yang”

AMPAS has issued a new statement that basically says: “we will continue to say nothing.” they don’t even bother mentioning Hamdan Ballal — an Oscar winner!!! — by name.

Any one of the "11,000 global members with diverse viewpoints" who cannot condemn the physical assault of a filmmaker does not belong in the Academy. This is a woefully insufficient response, literally worse than silence.

And everyone, when evaluating James Carville's winning advice, please consider what Gavin Newsom's anti-trans swing has done for his numbers:

Ok I know this is old-man irritability but I don’t care if Mahmoud Khalil has a pregnant wife, I don’t care if he and his wife are childfree, I don’t care if he’s in a fucking polycule with a hedgehog and a jar of mayonnaise, NOBODY should be detained for protected speech, including singletons.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.

Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.

We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

But this is about purging ALL of academia, government, the corporate world, and yes, the military of Black influence first and foremost.. but also women, LGBTQ, and the disabled.

It's about destroying these pipelines, salting the earth, then paving over the wreckage.

Trump's segregationist agenda is a reaction to Obama And we need to talk about it.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear.

I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces.
