A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

One time. The GOP has won more than 50% of the popular vote <one time> since 1992. And yet, every day, you are bombarded with Takesℒ️ from Ezra Douthglesias about how deeply unpopular The Democrats and their policy platform are, without any reflection on how the same standard applies to the GOP.

The wonderful old-Twitter experience of a global group chat during a live event or breaking news is a thing you can't do on Threads bc of its trash algorithms and you can't do on X bc it's a Nazi propaganda weapon, but it's really happening on Bsky now and I hope more holdouts start to discover that

They have a dolly zoom setup at the Jaws exhibit in the academy museum, but it’s only set up to film vertically. Legitimately a crime against cinema.

Adobe Max this year. No tools. No features. Only slop.

Everyone I’ve talked to at Adobe MAX so far has had a pretty firm β€œfuck AI” opinion, despite how aggressively Adobe is pushing it.

I get that adobe is in part a tech company, but there is no sense of appreciation for artistry or craft. Every demo is just someone giggling as they ask an AI model to do something, it spits out a glossy visual, and then everyone cheers.

Goldsmith in general seems to be slipping out of the public consciousness. Had such a huge range in what he could do, but was always swept you off your feet. The opening suite of Total Recall a great example that comes to mind, but you also have Chinatown, Mulan, LA Confidential, Alien… it’s wild.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Quick question: If the Republicans are right, and someone is paying millions and millions of us to protest, and has done it hundreds of other times, and they STILL can't figure out who's funding us, aren't they way too stupid to hold office?

"I don't like Trump, but you have to admit--"

Nope, we're good, you can stop right there--actually, back up about five words, pull over, and get out of the car you're about to drive over a rhetorical cliff.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

He didn’t β€œissue a statement”, he made a social media post thanking everyone who came to see the movie. Always good to read beyond the headline!

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free PalestineπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

Every time I watch any Pete Hegseth speech, it's clear the main audience for said speech is his own insecurities.
