Movie poster for Jafar Panahi’s it was just an accident
Holy shit. Fucking incredible movie.
Trenchant, riveting, gut-wrenching, occasionally hilarious, strangely moving. My heart was pounding in my chest for most of this.
One of the best films of the year. Maybe THE best.
Just because a repressive regime ends doesn’t mean its effects are over.
It's cool that "Dems lead by 20 points" etc etc but that's also what everybody said in 2024 and then white liberals didn't show up to vote for Harris. We need to keep reminding people that the polls don't elect anyone.

Protecting Ukraine’s civilians and our own survival,

If Sussan Ley is troubled by Joy Division, just wait until she hears about Spandau Ballet. In the meantime, she should play the PM at his own game by sporting a T-shirt from The Cure.

The Coalition had a dearth of policies going into the May federal election and now the Nationals abandoning net zero, you’d think they would at least keep a reputable policy, just for the aesthetics.
