Rainer Werner Fassbinder:

Orwell: 2+2=5 adds up everything keeping you awake at night With Orwell: 2+2=5, documentarian Raoul Peck cuts into our modern hell, using George Orwell as his scalpel.

Orwell: 2+2=5 is fantastic, a savvy modern reckoning from one of our best documentarians. In keeping with doublespeak, it will make you feel crazy and understood at the same time www.avclub.com/orwell-2-2-5...

My partner had just dropped off a shipment of n95s on this block. Turns out gas masks would’ve been more appropriate bsky.app/profile/peop...

"Orwellian" - when masked federal agents drag my neighbors out of their beds at 1 AM, unceremoniously throw their naked children into the backs of U-Hauls, and call it a “targeted immigration enforcement operation”

Ald. Jessie Fuentes’ office just released a statement she was handcuffed and threatened arrest amid ongoing ICE activity in Humboldt Park.

Tear gas was also used on passersby at a Home Depot an at Rico Fresh, her office says.

choosing a side has never been easier when one side is dropping heat about Autumn Sonata

wading into the Swift vs. Charli discourse to note that only one has a Letterboxd account where she's logging 5-star reviews of Aguirre, the Wrath of God

the only thing relevant to George Orwell that he didn't anticipate for the future is that consumption would make a comeback

Philip K. Dick book title: Can Tech Make An "AI Actress" So Fake That Male Columnists Won't Nut While Writing About It?

A quaint, endearing horniness for a working mother!
