Old dad who watches too many movies

Letterboxd - https://boxd.it/lw5Z

Movies, politics, Indianapolis, baseball (usually Cardinals related), other stuff

Thank you randos on Bluesky for reminding me that Trump is not good now and will go back to fascism tomorrow.

I am only three years old so I forget this stuff.

I love Bob Dylan so much, he is the antidote to everything dumb about culture, like the Kardashians exist? No they don’t because listen to “When I Paint My Masterpiece” ChatGPT wrote a novel? No it didn’t because I married Isis on the 5th day of May

Remember: the only way to save New York City from Donald Trump’s wrath is electing Andrew Cuomo.

Primary everyone. All of em. I'm serious. They have the worst political instincts in history in addition to being a bunch of pricks with a cushy job. Time to leave and go write your book, assholes. Take Tapper and the other dickheads with you on the way out
Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

There are like *so* many things for which you can criticize the Al Saud regime

Running one of the most repressive autocracies in the world? Yes

Spreading Salafist fundamentalism the world over? Absolutely

Killing Jamal Khashoggi? You betcha

But jfc it didn't do 9/11

Ended up getting through about 70% of the Abundance audiobook before I had to return it and more than anything else it reminded me tonally of kids books about science or history. Lots of short hero stories about the past.

I’ll have to wait and see if the final 30% offers any real path.

I don't think Andre Carson is perfect, but considering Indiana Dem politics we'd probably have someone like this otherwise. Anyway, score one for nepotism.
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

It's great having two cats. Love having to modify the way I walk around my home in two different ways at once. Love it.

What's the word for not wanting to do something you know full well you'll enjoy because it means taking the action and that feels like a lot of rigmarole?

Does laziness cover it? I feel like that's for things you have to do. It's like laziness but with a layer of passive masochism on top.

"Do not be afraid to confront the world’s wounds. Violence, poverty, exile, loneliness, addiction and forgotten wars are issues that need to be acknowledged and narrated. Good cinema does not exploit pain; it recognizes and explores it."
