Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?
week 1 of chalamet operagate: ah, no big deal. he'll probably go to an opera and make some charming apology
week 2 of chalamet operagate: I hope he never apologizes to this slavering mob. I hope he wins the oscar and doubles down. I hope he says "fuck opera" onstage
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
love the fact that our very real markets still take anything he says seriously
I love this kind of post because it's like, yeah. lots of people knew donald trump would be a bad president. wasn't exactly a tough conclusion to come to
One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.
This is disgusting, but also a tacit admission of just how horrible and indefensible it is.
how else did you think whitaker would know about her toothbrush habits!
they use a clip from superman, "I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the american way." the next line in the movie is lois lane: "you're going to end up fighting every elected official in this country!"
feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined
this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

abolish and prosecute
At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.
that’s the magic of four years of escalating dementia
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
I wrote 6,000 words on AVATAR for @brightwalldarkroom.com, diving into how James Cameron's stereoscopic dreamland is a conduit for a radical, transportive empathy that harkens back to the origins of cinema itself:

when it was on prime this used to be an option! that's nuts
getting ready for winds of winter I see
he could have easily gotten away with doing this for four years if he wasn't so committed to also crashing the economy and doing extrajudicial murders. if he got into office and just sat around building a ballroom and cutting billionaires' taxes he'd be at 42% approval like term 1
I’m gonna be real I have no idea how jamelle bouie became the main character of this website. every time I log on here everyone is talking about jamelle bouie. surely there are other things going on
It shouldn't be too much to say that you oppose the bombing of girls in schools and that if we set the standard for assassinating foreign heads of state at "sure, but he was a bad and evil guy," that you could then justify that action against dozens of other leaders.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.
As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.
When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
I honestly dont think they’ll notice they own it tbh
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
The core of right wing governance--really the only thing it does effectively--is tormenting people
terrific interview, highly recommended for anyone interested in kushner's work, spielberg's work, political art in general
