how is pritzker the only one who seems to remember that he's the governor of a sovereign entity too

If PBS and NPR stations survive the shutdown of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, then they no longer have to give a shit if the federal government is upset with their coverage.

Mazal tov!

Thinking about the Free Press article interviewing a woman here in MI who voted for Trump based primarily on his promise to cover IVF only to lose her job at a national forest with the arrival of DOGE.

I mean really what we are seeing is people feeling comfortable revealing in various ways that they agree with the authoritarian white supremacists on at least one thing: 2020 anti-racism went too far and so did trans positive feminism

Hence the “stop overreacting” and bizarre nostalgia for the 90s

… so dude is staking out a position and trying to get North County Republicans to join with him. ICE TF out of North County is still the anthem…

I feel strange giving this context. But he’s threading the needle with his heavy MAGA voting base & joining with North County Republicans mad at their constituents being targeted like at Encinitas Home Depot.

And as much as I wish the rest of the party would stand up for migrants, they’re not/

I understand why Levin’s being ratio’d here. The only thing I can say as a North County resident is that he’s NOT in a safe district - & he’s speaking out more than useless Dems in solid blue districts who are saying nothing against ICE. Of course “minimizing” cruelty is insane but the 🧵is a start.

The current concept of "girl dad" will be remembered at best as the most asinine and at worst as the grossest current-day cover invented to let men spew whatever nonsense they want about women and gender politics.

Anyone tempted to start praising Space Lasers Marge needs to listen to Harry Dunn here ⬇️

Thanks for reading my skeets! It really is. I started posting because I didn’t know anything about it before I started and was like 🤯 - & I wanted to see if anyone on here, film critic or in Europe, had seen it. Luckily one person did and shared some articles.

Sorry to be posting about it when you can’t see it! 😭 I did get to recommend it to someone who can watch it in Germany, and someone who had seen it shared some super helpful commentary with me about it. Hopefully it will come to a festival near you soon!

I found an article in the @forward.com about the Zweiflers. They call it: Sopranos in a deli LOL, and add: it "takes its cues from American shows like The Sopranos & Mad Men and in its culinary coolness a bit of The Bear." forward.com/culture/film...

This is important to talk about, incl where it’s more about Jewish trauma & where it’s got an understandable basis (Protest chants of “burn down Tel Aviv!” have been heard, perhaps less unreasonably, as calls for the mass murder of Jews.)

Accountability must include safety for *all* civilians. +

It's infuriating that the entire political universe understands why this is happening - Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are gutter bigots whose nativist politics are rooted in their all-consuming hatred of nonwhite foreigners - but for some reason we can't say it out loud.

It's crazy how much AI is like the your worst coworker.

Doesn't do their job right, steals your shit, isn't funny, and in the end you still have to redo all their work and for some god knows what reason your boss loves them and never fires them.

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.

Congratulations and fingers crossed. Great to see more innovative work evolving from Stanford dissertations!

She owes a private school $27,000. Her daughter never attended. In a region with one of nation’s highest private school enrollment rates, there’s a side not often talked about: the lawsuits.

Sandy Spring Friends School can GO TO HELL

In the meantime, is there a Gofundme to pay off this bill? Bianca Johnson and her daughter are being robbed by these private school assholes.

Yummy in salads.

Good with roasted cauliflower (with raisins too).

Enjoy!

I'm more and more convinced that Transphobia is, in fact, a variation of misogyny -- and the TERF people are the same self-hating women that feminists have always had to deal with, they just found new targets.
Again, none of us are free until all of us are free.

It is SO good Tamar!

This website has more in English - plus a list of all the awards it won, including Best Series at Canneseries, Best Drama Series & Best Actor in the German TV awards. But it hasn't been picked up by a US streamer so it's only showing here at festivals.

And yes, if you're writing about antisemitism and also gender, I think you will also especially love it. Beautiful people, amazing cinematography & the writing is 🔥.

Die Zweiflers - Staffel 1 der Serie - jetzt streamen! Diese Familie verzauberte das Publikum in Cannes. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Preis für die beste Serie des Festivals, begeistert das Leben der Familie Zweifler die Zuschauer auch in Deutschland. Ein liebev...

Yes! It's wonderful - it has everything, sex, drama, comedy, history, contemporary prejudice. You might be able to watch it here for free www.ardmediathek.de/serie/die-zw...

Otherwise, yes, borrow from your media library!

I've been skeeting about The Zweiflers, a miniseries about a multigenerational German Jewish family that's one of the greatest TV shows I've ever seen. It's not available for streaming outside Germany but you can get a sneak peek ⬇️. Like Succession meets Fiddler on the Roof meets Get Out 🤣.

I hope you like the sneak peek, Nick! I've watched too many things for the film festival this summer & am burned out. But they said, we need you to watch & rate this last thing - and it's like the greatest thing ever, and I hope others outside Germany can see it too!

💔🤬
