MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.

Like, none of these moments -- Lilo getting expelled (???), the "comedy" of Stitch's behavior, etc -- is given any time to sink in.

Each moment is over as soon as it starts, and there's no tonal progression from one to the next. Not to mention the constant disruptive cuts, let a moment play out.

As a filmmaker, most of these are smaller nitpicks that one wouldn't even notice... if not for the fact the film is already so terrible and unstimulating, there's little else to focus on.

They're symptoms of the larger issue, the scene is horribly paced. 5 unrelated beats in the span of 10 seconds?

Like, a so-called capitol L “liberal” (white person) point blank told me it’s “more important” to protect THEIR minority group, saying they were in more danger —

“we’re [x demographic] and in way more danger, and he’s not exactly going after half Mexicans like you, so YOU’LL be okay.”

(2/2)

As a Mexican… it infuriates me how I said this would happen. And no one listened to me.

Worse still, people have the hubris to tell me (now that I was right) that it doesn’t matter.

(1/2)

Been saying this for months. A (small) fact check, actual estimates are even lower… like, that “percent” is just eligible voters. Total US citizens? His “win” is even lower.

22%

That’s it. 38% of all US citizens didn’t or couldn’t vote. Less than a quarter of US citizens actually chose this.

Oh jeepers… really found this one at the right time.

Agreed. On a lighter note, one things veterans who were at Dunkirk said, when interviewed at the film’s premiere/asked about its accuracy, was they felt the movie was “a bit louder than the actual battle.”

It's so weird knowing that in the cancelled "Forrest Gump" sequel, they were dead*ss going to have Forrest hitchhiking in the back of the white bronco during the police chase.

I wish I could take all of the resources being used to keep AI up and running, and redirect them toward bringing back the Little Big Planet servers instead.

Not all disabled people can boycott Amazon. Many are housebound with no other affordable or accessible delivery options.

Be kind. We all resist in whatever way we can.

If you want to help, offer to deliver goods to someone. Or take them shopping.

Build networks of community care.

Me and my raven skull cane that could absolutely fuck you up or poke out your eye

Will I fuck you up with my raven skull cane? I mean I certainly could, it’s solid metal

There are literal hundreds of books/games/films that only still exist BECAUSE they're archived on this site.

This goes so much farther than just music. The amount of money record companies want from this site would bankrupt any future efforts from it to preserve lost artistic history.

No explanation desired, no explanation given

CORRECTION: Musk said it, not this guy, so if anything that just shows lack of internal order or any organizational function within the sitting cabinet. Not great for maintaining power, as far as historical precedent is concerned.

Didn't he JUST SAY, not even 24 hrs ago (iirc) he was lowering the DOD budget?

What's lies and what's facts anymore with these people? Like, how much you wanna bet this ends up as just another nothing burger publicity stunt to reel in conservative voters they see as gullible, only to undo it later?

Um... I'm not sure what you're getting at exactly, I'm just someone who's done VFX professionally trying to ascertain whether or not I think this is AI or not. Since CGI is not the same thing as AI.

And yeah, for the record, I don't like AI. Very against it. Sorry if you somehow misread my words.

As someone who actually makes movies, what's especially obnoxious about this is that this is clearly not a movie that's even DESIGNED to have "cheering" moments.

Like, there's no pause right here for audience cheering, there's no closeup to emphasize what they're cheering at, so why scream or yell?

My gut is to say the penguin's head was chopped off, so it could be animated to move, and then a new neck was made with CGI in blender. Then the wing/arm wrestling are a seperate still image, rotocoped to go behind them

Basically, I think it's seperate images/clips composited (combined) together

My gut is to say, based on the way the head/wing and arm are moving differently than the penguin and the demon, it's not.

OMG IT'S REAL, I'M SO HAPPY =D

I so hope these are real, despite my internet radar knowing better

Literally this, see my above reply to OP

Um, hi, as a member of the working poor who DID VOTE, and is about to lose my home because of all this, absolutely go f*ck yourself for even suggesting this horesh@t is true.

And also do not f$cking lump me with the 38% of citizens who decided my rights weren't worth defending at the polls.

Oh, voter suppression definitely also happened — particularly in black voter districts (which is historically true of past elections) — but this year also had the highest black voter turnout ever.

Total turnout was lower than 2020, yet the Red turnout was about the SAME as 2020. So both are true.
