Even Tony Kushner Warned Steven Spielberg About Making ‘Munich’ Kushner—who cowrote the screenplay for Spielberg’s controversial, eerily prescient film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—recalls telling the director, “You do understand that we’re going to get ...

a few months ago, i talked to Tony Kushner for an hour and a half about Munich

Grotesque

He’s attracted attention because he punched someone, broke their jaw, and was arrested on felony charges

Just a reminder that you don't HAVE to turn into a spineless bootlicker the minute you put on hockey pads.

What a game. What a sport

Hockey is such a great sport

This is besides the point but the Kennedy Center is the most beautiful building in Washington DC

Will be more than happy to root for the majority of US athletes in these games. The men's hockey team explicitly brought Trump and Trumpism into their ethos during the 4 nations. Can't root for that, or them.

it’s that time again

This read is worth your time

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

the trump people, business leaders and the dog-brained pundits in nyc and dc saw trump win in 2024 and thought “okay, we’re just gonna do fascism, the argument is over” and they’re all going to slowly wake up to the simple but true counterpoint: nuh uh

Philly been dining out on the Hitchbot thing since 2013 . It’s been decades since they whipped a battery at Santa. The craziest thing they’ve done recently was when that guy ate shit after the Eagles won and that was before COVID. Minneapolis has the belt right now sorry to say.

Cuellar was indicted for being a foreign asset of the Azerbaijani government. Trump pardoned him, and Hakeem Jeffries basically shrugged his shoulders and said the investigation was politically motivated

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

If you can't tell the difference between how they message on affordability within the wider context of our political moment I think you're too birdbrained for political commentary

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

the council members, various congresspeople, etc are all out on the street it seems. mayor and gov are just completely shrug emoji. a bizarre contrast

It would be much healthier for all of us to have people in leadership who can say “more rigid training standards” in good faith and as part of a grand strategy to defang DHS. unfortunate that we’ve got people who haven’t meant anything they’ve said in the last 20 years.
