I went to an industry / guild screening of #AHouseOfDynamite last night and the couple sitting next to me spoke through the entire film. This should be grounds to lose your guild card. Also (!) makes me miss the Hollywood Arclight. They would shut down any chitchat with the swiftness

My Mayor Washington-adjecent story. When he was running for a second Mayoral term, my aunt (mom's sis) decided we had enough of him has mayor and registered me to vote so we could "throw him out of office." I, of course, took the opportunity to register and then proceeded to vote for him.

I had never heard of Harold Washington.

Excellent listen on @thisamericanlife.org : "This week, we bring you the story of Harold Washington, the greatest politician you've probably never heard of, and the backlash that ensued when he became Chicago's first Black mayor."

I love you Portland bsky.app/profile/thet...

PSA - Mango Languages is free with a library card. I learned a lot via Duolingo but Mango cleans up my grammar and improves my comprehension of each language. It sticks. Currently studying Korean, Spanish, Portuguese and strengthening my French. Easy way to feel better about oneself.

Melania, Brett Ratner's Documentary About Melania Trump, Takes a Page from Melania and Melania The first lady is coming to a theater near you this January.

Taken from here

www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

"Melania is Ratner's first film since he was accused by several women of sexual assault in 2017. He has denied the accusations. Amazon released a still photo from the film of Melania (star of Melania and author of Melania) staring out of a car window at a nondescript airport tarmac. Gorg. Like we've never seen her before, apart from the many times we've seen her like that before." Below is a photo of her looking out of a window

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

None of these immigration enforcement goons should ever know a moment's peace but Black folks roasting a Black HSI agent's haircut right in front of his white coworkers is a special little slice of heaven

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Spirited Away made me think of #TheUsesOfEnchantment. Does The Shining follow the same "template" of fairytale?

I was having a rough time this afternoon thinking about - yknow - reality, so I watched the best film ever about the adventures of an only child. #SpiritedAway. Of course. I feel ten times better. Now watching another film about an only child, who also overcomes supernatural obstacles. #TheShining

This W Kamau Bell quote made me laugh “As a Black person I dont have the luxury of focusing on being exhausted. Whenever I think about how hard it is to do whatever work Im doing, the ghost of Harriet Tubman shows up like, ‘You’re tired? Oh, is it hard to direct documentaries and write on Substack?’
