Bugonia is great. Yorgos is a gift to the world. Emma Stone never misses and is always a captivating presence on screen. Jesse Plemons strikes the perfect balance of mentally ill conspiracy theorist and sympathy and humanity.

Just to be 100% clear: do not *trust* your employers - that's super silly. The relationship is economical, not based in loyalty, trust, or kindness. There's no judgement in forming a union, just understanding that capitalism requires a risk of financial loss to get companies to do the right thing.

Movie poster for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.

Movie poster for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.

Watched Frankenstein in theaters yesterday and there’s a special feeling you get when you know you just watched a Director’s Magnum Opus. I had the same feeling after I saw Parasite.

We have to support one another. I am always shouting out other writers as much as my own work. Besides, there are some kickass writers out there who deserve the love.

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.

All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.

All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

Really dug this. These kinds of experimental films, kinda gimmicky films, can really miss but this has both substance and utilizes its unique element to full effect.

We really need to stop celebrating conspiracy-pilled idiots. It would benefit all of us.

If you live in a state with a large rural population, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider investigating which areas in your region are food deserts & consider possibly giving to food banks that serve them. Rural food deserts are going to be the regions worst hit by the SNAP cutoff. Absolutely devastating.

Our government has failed us. Charities are being SLAMMED. If you can swing it, your neighbors need you. Please consider giving to or volunteering for:

* Your local food bank

* A local church's food pantry

* Local woman's or LGBTQIA shelter

* Neighborhood Little Library converted to food pantry

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and β€œwe need them for intellectual diversity.”

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away' Billie Eilish donates $11.5 million from 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to charity and calls on billionaires to support people in need during hard times.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders. In panel 1, he is pointing emphatically at one of his gangsters. Caption reads, "No defeatism." Panel 2 has him shouting at the room, "NO FUCKING DEFEATISM!"

Welcome to Derry is off to a pretty strong start. That ending was wild. This is not going to be pulling punches, and I respect that.

Deliver Me From Nowhere shouldn't be for me as it is a musician biopic and a biopic on an artist I am not a fan of. I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. A depressed artist trying to make his art that is authentic and personal. Yeah, I'm in a different medium but that still hit like a truck.

Nothing lethal of course but I'm having a piece of cheesecake, he hits me with the literal puppy eyes so I cut up a piece ready to drop it before remembering that this is so rich for him he'd shit liquid for a week. But... I cut him the tiniest piece and give it to him anyway
How could I not
