This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

That feeling when you’re reading some really cooking feminist theory and you’re like holy shit right on but then have a jolt of panic before googling “is so and so a TERF?”

I love Mark, Mark’s work, and all pro physical media sentiment, but I don’t know that it’s my job to search DVD player prices for people. But yeah, you can get a DVD player for cheap.
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.
