Welcome twitter exiles! It can be confusing here at first (but sooo much better). First thing is to find some of your old pals! We put together a starter pack last month of film critics, writers, creators and obsessives to help you get started. Add it and then go from there :) go.bsky.app/CsvD994

Still no HK release date yet but I'm gonna be so seated for Wagner Moura speaking Brazilian Portuguese for an entire movie
Also, hearing Americans saying the director's name Kleber Mendonça Filho this whole award season is gonna be a real journey 🙈

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

People pulling own teeth due to lack of urgent NHS dental care in England, watchdog finds
Emergency help should be available, but some being forced to travel 100 miles or go private, says Healthwatch England
People needing emergency dental care in England are being denied help from the NHS despite guidance saying that it should be available, in some cases resorting to risky self-treatment such as pulling out their own teeth, the patient watchdog has found.
Patients who experience a sudden dental crisis such as a broken tooth, abscess or severe tooth pain are meant to be able to get help from their dentist or by calling NHS 111. Continue reading...

I spend about $1,500 annually for national healthcare here in South Korea for a family of 4. My copays for typical visits (flu, etc.) are less than $5. Prescriptions are typically less than $10. The state covers 95% of all cancer treatments. America is stupid.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.
