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

Stay safe dude. Air traffic control must have been a total madhouse

It's so bonkers that the wealthiest country in the world just shut down its govt every few years for entirely political reasons and essential workers are forced to work without pay and everyone just accepts that's something that happens

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

A cheery, cute frog looking up and flipping off the camera while saying “fuck off, fascists.”

Episode 1685 - Marc Maron — WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

Only one episode of WTF remains after this one and it will not be recorded in the garage. So with this being the final WTF episode taking place in Marc’s sacred space, it’s only appropriate that he cl...

Josh Safdie’s #MartySupreme makes UNCUT GEMS look like it’s for kiddos. Pure energy. It’s an exhilarating live-wire. Timothée Chalamet is phenomenal as the cocky, fast-talking antihero who just can’t get out of his own way. Gwyneth Paltrow is sublime. Fantastic anachronistic soundtrack & score. 1/2

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

“She plays to an audience of 200 people,” one Hollywood executive with ties to Weiss told Variety. “It just happens to be that audience is made up of people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Ackman. The superrich f------ love her.”

If you want to see Regina Hall at her absolute best, watch HONK FOR JESUS, SAVE HER SOUL. Her range is immense in it as the wife of a disgraced mega church preacher.

She had two moves:

1. "But what about YOU huh?" *proceeds to gish gallop on a bunch of prepared character assassination*

2. Acts indignant ("How dare you question my xxx")

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

The judge in the Comey case clearly has very little patience for the DOJ and their dodgy case

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 1d

The judge, for his part, warned the government that the case shouldn't get off track because of classified information issues.

Either the information will be declassified or we'll go through the "fastest CIPA process you've ever seen in your life," he said.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 1d

The government's lack of a plan prompted Comey's counsel, Fitzgerald, to say that the prosecution "put the cart before the horse."

Usually, you figure out classified information issues in consultation w/ DOJ's national security division *before* bringing a case, he said.

if you live under a rock that I wish I was also under, anti-deutsch is the "anti-german" movement in Germany that is about the most german thing in the world, where they feel so guilty about WWII that ostensible antifascists have been waving israeli and US flags at demos for decades.
