The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.
Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

1.5k words on ‘The Testament of Ann Lee’ - my review is free for subscribers.
This is one of my favorite films on belief that has been made, I think. An examination of what it really means to pay for faith - and who the ‘religious freedom’ of the American Revolution was really for.

I reviewed Stop! Hibari-kun for AV Club! @peow.bsky.social’s release of the 1st volume is worth seeking out - here’s why:
In English for the first time, queer classic Stop!! Hibari-Kun! is more relevant than ever
Despite the occasional rough reminder that it's from the '80s, the boundary-pushing Stop!! Hibari-Kun! remains a queer classic.
