INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 49m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

Totally forgot to add this but someone mentioned how eerie it is that a train track is running near the area and it actually runs directly behind the proposed concentration camp. This video is from the parking lot:

As best I can tell, no one actually has jobs so much as they have competing spheres of influence that are affected by the whims of dementia orange grampa.

an underrated hilarious thing about Trump 2.0 is how everyone just does whatever they want regardless of what their jobs are actually supposed to be. Transpo Secretary Sean Duffy doing TV hits about ICE? Sure. Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler railing against Dems over wildfires? Why not!

The hands are perfect, which I only mention because hands are said to be difficult. But one leg is obviously too short; a thigh seems to have gone AWOL. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's portrait had the same problem. I get a sense of panic rising in the artist; it's invisible no one will notice

Stephen Harper’s official portrait was unveiled today, 11 years after he stepped down as prime minister. How long do these portraits take to paint? Or was Harper waiting for Justin Trudeau to exit the stage before returning to the Hill for the ceremony?

Christ on a bike. Soon-Yi the daughter wife of Woody Allen blaming a 15 year old.

This is generational abuse.
From: soon yi previn To: jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Here's the Wiener article if you haven't read it already. Thanks for dinner last night. Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:31:12 +0000 I know. It's an incredible story. You have to feel sorry for him. He can't seem to learn. Most importantly I feel sorry for his wife. I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to him. I hate women who take advantage of guys and she is definitely one of them. She knew exactly what she was doing and how vulnerable Wiener was and she reeled him in like fish to bait. It's also laughable when she says in her letter that she is putting it out there to help him. How does it help him? It only humiliates him. We know his excuse that he has a sickness. What is her excuse for being a despicable and disgusting person who preys on the week? We know he's sick but she's also sick to have done this to him. So manipulative on her part. She should be ashamed of herself. Sent from Soon-Yi

Thanks to the loathsome Bezos after he destroyed actual bookstores, I can no longer obtain British books in Canada on Amazon without huge shipping fees. AbeBooks was once great. He bought that. He bought everything bookish. I order from Blackwell’s now, good independent Brits but for how long?

What the hell is a “carceral leftist”?
alinaetc.bsky.social Alina Stefanescu @alinaetc.bsky.social · 10d
I am unspeakably moved by Anna‘s words (as well as her decision) and, because she is being attacked by carceral leftists, it seems important to add that your “justice system“ is a nightmare. Praxis is life.

Why I Didn’t Report My Rape
In 2021, six men sexually assaulted me in a Las Vegas hotel room. Something more than abolitionism prevented me from reporting the crime.

The problem with social media is that you’re only allowed to hold opinions in batches. If you believe X and Y, you must also believe Z, which is atmospherically similar to X and Y and believed by all the same people.

If you don’t do this, everyone hates you. It makes actual thinking impossible.

Given that sexting scandal, why would the University of Toronto invite ex-Ontario Conservative Tony Clement for a "fireside chat" event for young students? I know my beloved U of T means well but it has a duty of care surely. shorturl.at/Q6JCR @utoronto.ca

Chotiner shot that man right in the face with his own gun and he never heard the *click*.
There have been some critiques of the movie. People have said that it was essentially a payoff from Amazon to the White House, and that you're doing propaganda for an authoritarian President. I know you said you don't want to get into politics, but what do you think of that critique? Well, you know, I felt like I was a reporter. I see. You see what I mean? Sure. It's, like, would you do an interview with Melania or President Trump yourself? Probably yes. It doesn't mean that you think the same way or that you approve of him doing what he's doing. You and I are two journalists talking, essentially. Yeah. So, I mean, to me, the experience was about, yes, being a reporter-being a cinematographer in a documentary, and doing my best to make Melania look visually beautiful with the lighting. One thing reporters try to do is to spotlight ideas or news stories, and what you're trying to do is spotlight her face and its beauty. I do see a real similarity there.

I taught film to 16-18yos for decades & had to deal with this problem from 2005 onwards.
I had to put their phones on their desk & turn them off. They were frustrated at first but eventually accepted that they had to concentrate on the film & enjoyed doing so.
Then it was back to their phones.
