A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

They are systematically trying to take away our art, our culture, our community. They are disassembling, brick by brick, page by page, seat by seat, the places we go to experience moments of joy, empathy, hope, collective grief, connection.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Xfinity has just released its Jurassic Park-themed Super Bowl ad that features a digitally de-aged Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. https://bit.ly/4rmRhrK

This is our 16-year-old dog in a rare moment of acting the tough sentry by the side door.
Or he’s staring out with no idea what the fuck is going on. Could be either, but we love him.

Jesus look at this lighting in The Rockford Files. He stands up from a lit medium single inside the car into full silhouette. She comes around and the fill comes in to warm up their faces as they talk. It’s just so good!

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.
