Here is the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin calling for the abolition of J6ICE.

American Psychos | Aaron Timms When the extremism is already on screen, what place is left for the cinematic representation of political terror?

I liked it, too. It struck me how little we've seen masking as a theme in any films post-covid, as if a trauma too raw to represent. Eddington also pairs well with One Battle...

There's a good analysis of both films at The Baffler.

Pretty solid trip-hop madrugada mash.

My non-AI generated "goes well with" recommendations would be "Love Me Sweet" by Kid Loco and "Ethnic Majority" by Nightmares on Wax.

Thanks for the recommendation and inside info.

Wow, very cool. And I'm heartened to hear legacy /physical media is still going strong enough to put out / sell out new re-releases.

Modifying Marx, not everything solid melts into air - at least not yet.

some solid sci-fi there. surprised to see New Rose Hotel.

The cinematography is quite interesting, often opting for long shots with a single camera and foregoing shot-reverse shots for dialogue. It turns up the immersive / engaging quality (for me at least).

Stay classy, 'brush.

Stating "strong evidence" while not offering any evidence at all. Well played, sir.

Thank Noah Hawley, who has proven to be a master at taking great films / film franchises and reworking them into excellent television narratives. At this point, he has my unconditional support.

Years ago Duck Duck Go was presented by the right as al alternative to Google, so this is no surprise.

Ad Fontes Media remains the best way to determine media bias, reliability, and fact-based reporting. Stay within the green/yellow rectangle.

I believe this is what they call a "bubble."

so climate change is a hoax then?

(joking...sorry, although some people do think like this)

Congrats on the contract! I remember your mentioning it during UC Mexicanistas this past spring, so I'm very happy to hear it become official.

I wanted to be the first one to congratulate here in bsky, hence no comment over there. This way, it feels more valuable or impactful.

Thanks so much for the review! I appreciated reading a careful consideration of my first monograph byMichael Pitts.

Incredible that this quote was created over 30 years ago.

Not to mention this irony of ironies.

Ad hominem attack. An argumentatively (very) weak retort to a serious accusation, but also par for the course in these post-truth times.

What a great resource, Thanks for sharing.

I've noticed a lot lately - that the news reports on extreme weather but makes no link to anthropogenic global warming and its major contributors. No wonder there's such a disconnect and no action, and why I feel like we're frogs in a pot water with the heat turned high.

sorry for your loss

I've rewatched the whole series out of sequence to prep for pt 8, and really been enjoying them. With some overall misses, it really is the best action franchise (next to Bond) in a market diluted with mediocre-to-bad films.

Excited to be part of this double panel on the body in Latin American Science Fiction at LASA in San Fran.

I wholeheartedly agree that Trump + enablers are destroying the US and world post-haste. But to be fair, on CNN the world has been ending since at least 9-11-01, if not before. Maybe a screenshot of their front page is not the best proof of the Trumpapocalypse.

To be clear, it's just one university, and at that, it's the richest in the world.

One of those rare, excellent sequels, especially considering decades passed since the original one.

Still, it's not as good as the first.

Agreed, though it remains to be seen whether the WH will comply, which would bad, very bad, constitutional-crisis bad. Probably inevitable anyway.

This sucks, then again, no expectation to converse. If the price comes down, I'd definitely take one every now and again.

Wait - CAN we even choose to take one if these? If do, that's news to me. This must be a trial run.
