Ahem. Anyone notice we’ve added the fest dates here?

NEW: Senator Ed Markey just introduced a critical bill that would ban ICE and CBP from buying or using facial recognition technology to go after our communities.

Congress must pass the ICE Out of My Face Act and use their funding power to rein in these out-of-control agencies.

Emerging from post-Sundance hibernation to declare: I'm on the lookout for a new full-time job. Seeking Chicago-based or remote editing and writing opportunities—don't have to be in the field; I'm extremely open to copywriting, technical writing, marketing stuff, etc. Email and portfolio in profile.

Who shall be presenting me with a trophy next week after successfully getting through Dryuary? I feel like I’ve earned one this year.

@alamodrafthouse.bsky.social even one of your patron saints (and Fantastic Fest fixture) Elijah Wood thinks this is a boneheaded, misguided policy. There’s still time to walk back mobile-ordering-only with grace. Take the L.
