The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope.

November 14: A Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeeter Fence and Screams For Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing (human hand inside kermit frame, yelling yaaay) this is adapted from an artwork you see on redbubble, even though its edited i would have credited an original artist if one could have been positively determined, its too widespread and stolen for over a decade to nail it down precisely. sorry i tried, dont yell at me.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

“The regime wants all of us afraid. It is counting on fear immobilizing us and perhaps even turning us against each other. Instead, what we are currently seeing in Chicago is that solidarity can overcome fear and can give people the courage and tenacity to fight for each other.” --Mariame Kaba

It's been 39 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

“I want this video out there because I want my mother home.”

It's pretty cool that the US economy is propped up entirely by continuing work on software thats only real functional uses are eroding consensus reality, spreading often politically motivated misinformation, and for various scams like impersonating your grandma and saying she's been kidnapped

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

For the record, Melissa's main targets of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas account for, respectively, 0.016%, 0.0089%, 0.064%, and 0.0038% of the global annual total of CO2 emissions.

Israel violating a ceasefire deal as a mob of Israeli settlers attack an American journalist and Palestinian grandma & an Israeli soccer match has to be cancelled because of violent fans is all the worse when you remember the deal calls to "de-radicalize" Palestinians and not Israelis

The sunken cost theory can apply to things that don't have a monetary cost, like an occupied bathroom you're waiting for, wondering if you should walk across the store to use the other one after standing there listening to the weirdo inside this one flush multiple times and still not come out 😵‍💫

Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...

So, serious question: Is there ANY possibility - any at all?! - that this is a just universe and he will, one day, stand trial for murder?!?!

Oh no she did not.
