Anna and the Apocalypse!

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

"[Bodycam] video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, 'Do something b----.' The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez.

[Her lawyer] Parente said Martinez has 'seven holes' in her from the shooting."

Govt didn't show that video.

This is really awful news, Zack. I’m so sorry.

They really don't want to release the Epstein Files, huh.

One of the single best experiences I've had at Texas Frightmare Weekend was talking with Daniel Pearl 1-on-1 and getting short oral histories of how he shot the extreme closeups on Marilyn Burns' eyes here, as well as the under-swing dolly shot of Pam walking to the house.

With #FantasticFest wrapped up, the @cinapse.bsky.social team has assembled their individual can't-miss top films of the festival! Check out what I thought were 2025's breakout hits, alongside faves from @edtravis.bsky.social, @dantabor.bsky.social, @jonpartridge.bsky.social, and Spencer Brickey!

I love that he’s himself, but just a nerdy guy with a hobby in this one. 😄

The MLM Presidency.

Hey y’all—while SB3 was voted down, Becca’s still on the job hunt. Several promising prospects have turned out to be somewhat scammy. Trying to help her find any leads, if anyone can recommend something. Hoping for CSR in the 42K-50K range. Really appreciate whatever you can recommend. ❤️

They always appear at the RIGHT moment you have your guard down. Like a concentrated nexus of disgust.

Among Napoleon, Macbeth, and Deaf President Now!

I may be one of the very few people thrilled about this news but this is such a win for physical media. Even if it’s an MOD disc, it’s a 4K UHD (of a missing Best Picture winner!) coming directly from Apple.

It’s also a really good movie—co-signed by this CODA. cinapse.co/2021/08/a-co...

I think you can’t say “our product is a decentralized code and therefore we can’t just ban people we don’t like or do any meaningful moderation” AND also be banning Palestinians and trans people and people who make jokes about a white supremacist being assassinated.

This is LGBTQ+ History Month, and I urge my followers who are LGBTQ+ (or just curious) to dive into one thing--a movie, novel, TV show--from your childhood or before. Look at an older gay work as something other than a relic or an error. You'll be rewarded. Your world, your SELF, will get bigger. >

Yall have no idea how much this is absurdly my shit.

Also, I feel like I was the only person who voted for The Peasants in my animation lineup in 2023. What a film.

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

Is anyone else’s head exploding from allergies and seasonal changes today? 😵‍💫

this doesn't get talked about enough

consolidated corporate media owners fired all the beat reporters with informed subject matter expertise because they didn't want to pay them health insurance, which degraded informed consensus and created a media environment easily exploitable by bad actors

Without fail, the best part of every screening of Noroi is the stunned silence when the lights go up and there’s no end credits. There’s no buffer of fiction or confirmation that it’s all fake by listing who made it. The film stays “real.”

Kagutaba lives!

(Again and again)

And you can order one bucket after another

This is truly phenomenal.
