50s. San Francisco based. Cinephile at large. Very, very angry these days (but loves the pictures of your cats). He/him/his. Free Palestine.
it is so in keeping with everything else Dumbfuck has done to unilaterally command the creation of Rush Hour 4 AFTER demolishing the wing of the White House containing his private cinema.

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

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Beyond the harm that it will to constituents once Republicans inevitably renege, backing down now does so much damage to the Democrats on the best week for their brand since 2020. Such loser behavior.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Ain't no "allegedly.

Like the residents of 16th and Valencia, and with my fellow Roxie patrons, I am grieving and angry.

Trump says there will be no invasion of San Francisco. I don’t think anyone should relax just yet though, especially because as far as I can tell he hasn’t said anything about Oakland or the rest of the Bay. www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

I added multiple fundraisers in the replies. Please help if you can
Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.
