If your gimmick is saying the most extreme shit possible while winking about it being a bit and then winking about how maybe it’s NOT a bit, you get people more and more used to hearing it regardless of context, and it shocks less and less

I really really wanted to like The Substance, but I'm not a fan. I didn't like Revenge either, so I think it's Fargeat's voice I don't vibe with. Demi Moore acts the hell out of this, but just not for me, I guess. I suppose I get she's doing Gilliam meets Cronenberg by way of Miike.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Windsor Johnston on NPR just read that DJT shared a video "depicting the Obamas as primates." I know what she meant, but the appellation, "non-human" ahead of "primates" is important in this context. Or maybe, say what he really did: he shared a centuries-old racist trope dehumanizing them as apes.

It's lost on the people who need to hear it, but it sure was nice to see.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
