What's that saying - "never believe anything a person says before the word "...but...""

The book Rutger Bregman wrote, Humankind: A Hopeful History, is amazing. Absolutely worth a read for more of this kind of myth deconstructing.

I was surprised to see that today was his fifth overall nomination

Can't help but feel like he's going to go all the way to the Academy Award nomination, then there will be a bait and switch someone else takes the Oscar

In the video of the knock out you can see Paul say "wow" after he got hit square in the face, and I think that's beautiful

Sight & Sound is the only one I like because it's a challenge. It says "don't tell me about the best movies until you've seen more. Whatever you've seen, watch more"

I enjoy Rian Johnson but it feels like if he can retool the character for Peter Dinklage then he could write a new original show for Dinklage. And people would watch because it's Peter Dinklage.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

We Have to Move "There are living, breathing people all around you who need your sense of decency to be made material. Don’t give up on them, or on you."

tell you what, it's a fucking terrible time to have even one molecule of human empathy. I have moments where I think that.

And then I read something like this, by the great @mskellymhayes.bsky.social (GET HER EXCELLENT NEW BOOK) and I know I need to move organizingmythoughts.org/we-have-to-m...

4 Screenshots from the movie "Sinners" (2025): First, a black screen with the text "Clarksdale, Mississippi October 16, 1932." Second, an interior of a church with attendees in white clothing, a man stands silhouetted in the doorway with a cross visible above. Third, a black screen with the text "one day earlier." Fourth, two men in suits and hats stand beside a vintage car against a rustic building backdrop.

They remind me of Dr Cox and Jordan on Scrubs who, when they realized they were still married, divorced to save their relationship

Agree with Jurassic Park, especially when 3 broke up Dr. Grant and Dr. Saddler and it took to the end of the Jurassic World to get them back together.

Pirates of the Caribbean is one I would add. A movie based on a disney ride that shouldn't have worked but ended up a fun time. no sequels needed.

Modest proposal: If you are a producer who doesn't like awards shows, do not produce one. If you are a host who doesn't like awards shows, do not host one. If you are a television viewer who doesn't like watching awards shows, do not watch one.

I read that book around 8,000 times in the week before having my tonsils taken out as a kid. I knew I'd have to go to the hospital, and Curious George showed what going to the hospital was like

The living room scene where Sammy Fabelman disassociates by imaging how he would film the moment is a killer scene, too. His sisters screaming and he's mentally behind the camera.
