Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Taping tomorrow!

This is how I found out

Khamenei was one of the barriers to Iran fully developing nuclear weapons.

According to Omani negotiators, Iran was agreeing to give up its stockpile of enriched material.

But now that Trump has killed him, and assuming a hardliner takes power, it could lead to actual nuclear weapons development.

Israel has closed all the borders and are going to kill as many Palestinians as humanly possibly while the world watches Iran and Mark Carney knows this.

Weird not watching a James Bond movie this weekend with my kid. He has requested STRANGE DAYS.

Like culture posts on this app simply don’t get the engagement and I think it’s because people feel it’s frivolous and actually it’s the thing we are fighting for, the freedom to make culture and cultural works

I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

I have not read the book but that’s what everyone who has says.

I have. Not his best.

If you’re still celebrating the US Male Olympic Hockey Team winning Gold after they cozied up to murderous fascists instead of just celebrating the US Women’s Olympic Hockey Team winning Gold who refused to cozy up to those fascists, please stop pretending you’re a good person.

The last time the US overthrew Iran's leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, General Zahedi took over and solidified his control. This boosted the Shah's power, caused more Iranian anger over US meddling, and by 1978-79, helped trigger the Islamic Revolution.

Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in ‘89.

In 2024, I warned everyone to vote for Kamala Harris, because of what we're seeing now. Vote then build a protest camp outside her White House. Let's carry out that strategy for the Midterms and 2028. Primary, vote, protest, repeat. That's how we elect better Democrats.

A ★★★★ review of Pretty in Pink (1986) Pretty in Pink turns 40 today and it has weathered the last 4 decades pretty well. This was the fourth teen film by John Hughes, the first to be directed by Howard Deutch since Hughes was making anoth...

"Your daughter is dead. Now rise up against your government. You're welcome."

This really does seem to be the theme of the night in the US.

Netanyahu has been trying to drag the US into war with Iran for decades, and he finally has a US president weak enough, stupid enough, bloodthirsty enough and compromised enough to blow past all the warnings from both the State Dept and the Pentagon.

This film deliberately depicted guys like this as over the top, but now reality has caught up with it.

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership

Screen grab of the NYT website at 10:45pm PT. Helene Cooper reporting "A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran are underway."

The U.S. is now attacking Iran.
