PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to a MAN as they walk on the street. The MAN is typing on his phone. MATTIE: What do you wanna do tonight? MAN: Hmm…! MAN: What…do…I…want…to…do…tonight? PANEL 2: MATTIE rolls her eyes. The phone pipes up as well. MATTIE: Are you asking a chatbot? Come on. PHONE: SEEING FRIENDS IS ALWAYS A GREAT WAY TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS. MAN: Oh, are you A.I. SHAMING ME? Wow. I didn't think you were a bigot. PANEL 3: MATTIE, arms spread wide. The MAN strokes his chin. MATTIE: What? Nobody was doing this a year ago. It's completely unnecessary! MAN: Huh, that's true. I wonder why that happened. PANEL 4: The MAN types on his phone, brow furrowed. MAN: Why…am…I…doing…this

No reckoning there.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

Making a movie about living in 2025 would feel strange.

No city official was criminally charged. Bones from burned children were used in Penn classes. It will never make any sense.

the parsimonious thruline to so many things right now is that, one way or another, the prerogatives of settler states to liquidate populations and compel labor by any means necessary is nonnegotiable and trumps all talk of rights, values, norms, etc. its grim shit folks
29.04.2025 17:14 — 👍 128 🔁 33 💬 0 📌 1Cop City is officially opening today, made possible only through extreme state violence –– including the murder of Tortuguita, clearcutting of forest land, and mass criminalization of protestors.
But the fight does go on. And support for those facing charges is still critical.
This is an *active* current example of democrats helping to pass a law that will actively hurt people fighting civil rights and civil liberties in our current crisis moment. Either help the movement, get out of the way, or admit what side you’re on.
